Grant Gracefully Glide Through the Golden Gate. SAir Francisco, Sept. 20. The first tap of the bell and the hoisting of the flag on the Merchants' Exchange announcing the approach of the City of Toklo startled the city from a spell of suspense that has prevailed for the last three days, and transformed the Idle throngs that were lounging about the streets Into excited and hurrying crowds. Bells are ringing, steam whistles screaming, and the thunder of the cannon reverberating over the hills and harbor. Thousands of men, women and children, on foot, in carriages and on horseback are pouring out in the direction of Presidio Heights, Point La ban. Telegraph Hill and every other eminence In the vlciulty, eager to catch the first glimpse of the Incoming ship bearing the guest for whose reception so great preparations have been made, and whose arrival has been so anxiously anticipated. Crowds are hurrying to tbe wharves whore the steamers and yachts that will tn Be part in the nautical pageant are lying. The reception committee on tne tng Miner unmtn will leave at once from the Pacific Mall dock to Intercept tne City of Toklo outside, and so arrange ner arrival in tne niiroor as to coniorm with the preparations for tbe reception In ac cordance with preconcerted plans. The reception is not llkelv to take place to-day. tbe hour being so late, and tbe executive committee is now in session to determine whether it shall come on to-morrow or be delayed until Monday, ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence that the City of Toklo was nearlng port, the reception committee, consisting of Frank M. Plxley, ex-Hens tor Coie, General Miller and P. B. Cornwall, repaired to the tug Miller Grllflth, lying with steam np at the Pacific Mail dock, and at once went to meet the Incoming steamer. The Griffith stood well out to sea, and several miles outside tbe heads met the Toklo coming In. ihe tug drew alonn side and tbe executive committee, quarantine officer, and customs officials and a number of representatives or the press boarded. No ceremony was observed, except a general shaking of hands, and alter the com mittee had announced the object of their visit and Informed General Grant of the reception prepared for him, the conversation became general as the City of Toklo continued her course, soon alter tne government steamer McPherson oatue alongside, and Major General McDowell, commanding the division of the Paolbc, accompanied iy his staff, boarded the Tokto .and rejoined his old comrade in arms. While this was transpiring the general committee of arrangements, with several . thousand Invited guests, assembled on board the large sldewheel Pacific mall steamer China, and a large number of smaller steam ers, while tugs took the squadrons of the Ban Francisco aud Pacific Yacht club in tow, and started down the channel. In the meantime It seems as though the whole population of the city, men, women and chlldreu.liail sought positions Iroin which a view of the naval pageant could ee obtained. Every eminence commanding the channel was black wim assembled thousands. Telegraph Hill was a living mass of human bodies, the heights beyond Presidio and Clay street hill, Sea Wall at - norm rointano e.ery pierhead was covered with spectators. The sun was declining in the Va est as tbe steamers and yachts, gay with bnutluic. moved down tbe elianncl. m eloudfhungalong i he Western horizon ; Mount inuuupiuu, ana uistant mounts north OI tue bay were veiled in mist, and Mission hill and seaward neignts or the peninsula were branded In Ion; but tbe channel was unobstructed, and the bold outlines of the Go. den Gate rose aharolv asalnst the iv. vhiie the bay itself, with the Island shores of Alameda ana contra Costa were bathed In sunlight. From every flagstaff in the city flags are flying, and the shlpptug along tbe city front are bnllant y decked with ensigns festooned, and streamers. The impatient crowds that om. ered the hilltops stood straining their eyes to oatcu tne unit g ura pee oi the 'toklo. A hundred times the cry was raised, "There she comes," as chance arrivals came in view hetanwn the heads. It was 6 10 o'clock wben a puff of wh I te smoke iroin reaward, from off the earthworks back and above Fort Point, and the booming of a heavy gun announced that the steamer was near at haud. Another and another followed in rap d succession. Fort Point next Joined in the oannonade, firing both casemate ana oaruetie guns, ana tne battery at Lime . .Polr.t added its thnnders to the voice nf wi. . come. In a few momenta the entrance to the naroor was veiled in wreaths or smoke, and as the batteries of Ansel Island. Kianir P,.l,.t ana Aleatraz opened lire in succession, the whole channel was soon shrotded In clouds from their rapid discharges. For some time the position of the approaching sblp could not be discerned, but shortly before M o'clock the outlines of the hue hull of the city or Tokio loomed through the obxcurlly of smoke aud ' rrapliily appioacbiug hade of evening, lit np by tbe flasnes of suus. and In a lw m. she gilded in full view, surrnnnded by a fleet . of steamers and tags gay with flags, crowded with gnests,whlle the yachts squadron brought up tne rear, festooned from deck to truck with brilliant bunting. Cheer after cheer burst irom uia asseraoiea tnousands as the vessel lowly rounded Telegraph hill, and was taf.sn up by tbe crowd on tue wharves and roild taround the citv front. WMtj, anil hunHaa,. chiefs were waved in Uie-alr; the United States steamer Monterey, lying in the stream, added " " er guns to tne general welcome, and the screamlnuof hundreds of steam whia. ties announced that (he City of Toklo had reached hrr anchorage.

In the meanUme General Grant and his party on the Toklo, together with the reception oorasoittee. General Mcpoxweil and staff, aud oiiiern, hid been

transferred to the ferry steamer Oakland. Considerable delay occurred, during which time the crowd outside cheered and shouted themselves hoarse, and it seemed at times as

tnougn, in their impatience, they wonld break through the lines and Invade tbe dork. Darkness had fallen, ana it was 720 when the lights of the ferry boat were seen approaching the ship. rhe moved slowly into position, the platform was lowered, the band struck np "Home Again." and amid roars of applause from the waiting crowd outside, who realized that the moment naa come when General Grant stepped once more upon the shore of his native land. As he came np the gangwav, escorted by the reception committee, he was met by Mayor Bryant, supervisors, governor and staff, and executive committee, and after brief informal congratulations, the mayor addressed him as follows: General Grant As mayor or the city of Ban Francisco, I have the bonor and pleasure to welcome you on your return to your native country. Home time has named since von departed from the Atlantic shore to seek tne relief which the long period in your country's service naa maae necessary, bnt during this absence the people of tbe I n lted States have not fortrotten van. Thev have read with intense interest accounts of your voyages by sea and travels by land round tne woriu, anu tney ooservea witn great pleasure the honors you have received in the different countries wbich vou have visited. ana tne universal recognition which yourDnuitinb career as a soiaier ana American citizen has obtained. They have felt proud of you, and at the same time of their country, which yon have so fitly represented. And now, sir, you are again on your native soil, and the thousands who here greet you remember that your home was once in this city. This bay, these hills and pleasant homes about ns are familiar to you. Great changes, it is true, have take place. Tbe young city Is now tbe rival of cities which were old when its history began, but the men to whom this marvelous prosperity is due were, in those early days your personal associates and friends, and many of them are here to-day wnltlng anxionsly to take you by the hand once more. leaving your country at the ancient city of rnuaaeipnia. Mayor Btokeiey expressed the hope of that city for a safe Journey and a happy return. It is now my privilege to express the Joy of San Francisco that the hone or her elder sister has been realized. The city desires to receive you as an oa ana honored resident and friend, returning after a long absence, and to extend to you such courtesies as may be agreeable to jou. and In obedience to such desire, which extends through all classes, I tender yon the freedom ol the city and its hospitalities. In the short time allowed ns we have arranged a reception in your honor, and ask for an hour when you will permit ns to present our people to you, and we oeg wiuie you remain in ine city, yourseii ana your family and your traveling companions will be its Boosts. In conclusion, permit me to express the wish of each aud every one of ns ior me iuiure nappinessanu prosperity oi yourself and every member of your family. General Grant lesponded in a few brief sentences, returning thanks for the weicome extended to him. He was then conducted to a carriage, Mayor Bryant accompanying him, while the various committees and other gentlemen in attendance repaired to their own carriages The gates of the dock were then thrown open and tbe vehicles moved forward and took their p aces in Hue. As the carriage containing General Grant made its appearance, cheer after cheer went up from thousands of throats, while the surged crowd pressed forward and swayed from side to side In the efforts to obtain a passing glance ot the familiar lineaments of the great captain. With the greatest difficulty a passage was openeu anu tne procession lormeu, HUH the line of march was taken np. Amid the tremendous cheers of the crowd, discharges of cannon, ringing or bells and screaming of whistles, the nrocession started np Market street. Bonfires blazed at the street corners, illuminations lit up every window, and the glare of Roman candles and electric lights made the broad thoroughfare bright as day. Undnr tbe con tinuous archway of flags, banners, and testooned draperies, the procession moved up maraet street 10 Montgomery, ana turned dovu the latter street. The crowds blocked the sidewalk; cheer after cheer rolled along the line of march and almost drowned the martial strains of ihe numerous bands. Broad ensigns tossed In tbe night wind, glowing with light ot fire and glare ot rockets and lire balls. A light mist hovering over the citv reflected the light of the fireworks ana illuminations nntti tue heavens seemed ablaze. Not only the streets n tne tine oi marcn, out tne croso streets between Market and Montgomery avenues were brilliant with decorations. Even the Chinese ?uarter seemed to have the infection, and ron hundreds or staffs the great dragon flag flaunted its fantastic blazonry beside the stars and stripes. Continuing the march. the Drocesslon moved through Montgomery to the avenue, then to Kearney street. Here, If possible, tbe crowds were sun more dense ami entnusiastio, aud the display of fireworks, el'.-ctrie Hunts, and every conceivable means of Illumination or Increased brilliancy. On arriving at Market Btreetthe process on. moving up a few blocks, coiiutermarcbed to the Palace Hotel, Here a magnificent arch, ID feet In height, spanned New Montgomery street, blazoned with National colors, and heating the Inscription, "Welcome to Grant." At this point the carriage containing Grant was drawn nD. while the procession inarched in review, cheer after cneer rending tne air, as division alter division passed by. On conclusion of the review the various organizations were dismissed, and General Grant was conducted to bis quarters in uie t-aiaje noiei, wnicn naa ueen specially prepared and furnished for his recep tlou. All the stroma leading to the raiace were packed with a dense tnrong, through which the procession mrcea lis way witn great utmcuity. Thousands were clamoiine for admittance, but cor dons of police at all entrances denied Ingress to an out i nose noiuing special permits to enter. Within the Immense court o resented a scene of surpassing beauty. Electric lights and 600 gas jets lit up tbe vast Interior witn a brilliant glow, and the dense throngs that packed tbe court and filled the spacious nalcouies and corridors surged to and ro in anxious expect ancy oi tne coming guests, whom the packed streets had detained. At 10 o'clock the wide doors were thrown open, ana the barouche containing Grant was driven within the bulldlne. He at once dis mounted, and crowding hfs way through the packed mass of human beings, was hurried to his room. As he alighted, Madame Fafcbrl and chorus of tOO voices opened irom one or the balconies with an ode of welcome. The crowd ru-hed after General Grant he whan dismounted, lav. lng the singers for a moment almost without an audience, but betne stonned in their mad cliace by the force of police who blocked the way, they returned to the court, being reassured by theannounrement that the general would appear on one of the balconies. After he he had time to lay off his overcoat. After the chorus was rendered. General Grant, in response to repeated calls, appeared on tbe balcony of tne fourth floor and bowed to the shouting crowd. Immediately on retiring the still enthusiastic Donulnoe throaired tbeonrtaud refused to leave. Finally Mayor Bryant appeared and announced that as soon as the general had finished his dinner he wouiu snow himseir. In a few minutes Gen' eral Grant anoeared amid deafenlnir and Inner continued snouts. Mavor Brvant nailed Mia crowd to order, and the general, mounting a chair which was passed over tbe heads of tbe surrounding crowd, was again greeted with a auuniuu oi etieers. wnen tne noise BUB' sioeu ne addressed them aa follows: Fwviaw Citizens of Saw Francisco After 36 years absence I am glad to meet you and avsare you of my cordial thanks for the kind greeting yoa have given me. 1 shall stay In iud( enougn to greet yoa more fun jr. As soon as the review was finished Bnd the various divisions had dlahanii. ed. the soldiers and sailors, veterans of tbe late war, repaired to the Hand Lota with a field battery. It seemed . a kind of poello Justice that here, where Dennis Kearney hau threatened a few weeks ago to bang Grant iu efligy , an insult, although meaningless and uttered without tbe slightest tuougnt ui carrying it into enect, should be wiped out, and at the moment of writing guns manned bv bovs in lalun. ara tel liner witn t.n,ir deep voices that tbe people of this city have posympatyy with the spirit that would offer insult on political grounds to a man whom the uiumns are giau to welcome aa their guest.

The steamer nsed bnt hair her boiler's nower. and took her way to this city aoross tbe Pacific. The departure from Yokahoma was attended with the mot elaborate ceremonies, and everything that the Japanese Government could devise iu the way of honor lntr Grant. When Grant and suite left the mikodo's palace, they were accompanied by the entire cabinet and all the foreign ministers. Troops lined tbe way to the station, and, as the steamer passed out of the harbor, salutes were thundered from every battery and all the vessels la the bay. On the voyage hither the general passed the time in reading, occasionally Joining briefly in social converse with his fellow-passengers. He informed the committee that ne was iu their hands, as far as t he reception was concerned ; that in regard to bis stay on the coast and bis futnre movements, he had no programme, and would not decide until he got on shore nod had lime to examine letters he expected to receive on landing.
