TILDEN OUT CT THE FIELD.
His Emphatic No 20 the Pacific
Coast Delegation.

The Old Ticket Now Am ImpOssi-
biIity = An Official Letter of
DeclinatiOn Promised Con-
spicuOus Mention OF Flower.
|, There is no longer now any possible
doubt that the question Of the candidacy
OF Samuel ]. Tilden for President of the
United States is settled. The "old ticket
1--WE say ii regretfully) is now relegated to
the past. May history be honest in re-
cording, as q wholesome warning forever,
the national disgrace that the mention of
the "old ticket" must ever call up. The
Fraud Of 1876 should be preserved as a
skeleton to be pointed at by parents and
teachers that children may grow up to
know that the Republic died in that year.
Without revolution, however, Liberty
lives again deformed. That assassin alton
such as this may never be heard of again
in nominally free land, is the earnest
prayer OF every true American citizen.
Mr.. Tilden declines to run, and says
emphatically, absolutely and finally,
"No." Now, let the Democracy be wise
and select as substitute for The Old Man
Magnificent another man from among the
people, clean and strong, Roswell P.
Flower.
The following dispatch will explain the
situation:
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-A Chronicle
New York special gives an account Of the
visit of delegates to Samuel J. Tilden yes
terday. The visitors were James FL. Budd,
G.. A. Sumner, Barclay Henley, P. B.
Tully, James r. Glasscock, of California;
George W. Cassidy, of Nevada, and M. E.
Post, of Wyoming. "Mr. Tilden," said
the spokesman of the party, "we have
called in behalf Of a vast body of Demo-
Gratis of the Pacific Slope, to inquire
whether you are willing that your name
should be brought before the National
Convention, at Chicago, as a candidate for
the office Of President OF the United
States 2" To this, it is said, Mr.. Tilden
answered with decided "No." "H you
are not willing to be candidate yourself"
continued the spokesman, sis there any
other Democrat you would prefer should
be nominated" ?"
81 am no candidate myself" said Mr..
Tilden, "and / have no candidate to
propose"
"Will you make known your wishes in
this respect officially? 2"
"I intend to do SO in the form Of let
ter. cannot at present say to whom the
letter will be addressed"
The delegates were shown through the
elegant apartments in Gramercy Park res
idence. They were there altogether 20
minutes. r. P. Flower was seen at late
hour at his house. He admitted that a
Pacific Coast delegation had called on him
during the afternoon, but declined to state
what conversation had passed between
them in relation to Mr.. Tilden and himself.

Some Fun.

Yesterday one of Luther Clark's game
cocks, which Charley Graham is keeping
at his place, strayed over into Frank
Abadie's yard near by. The chicken went
around inspecting the premises, head and
tail up, and finding the parlor door open,
he stalked into that apartment. Mr..
Abadie has large mirror in his parlor,
which comes nearly down to the floor.
The chicken saw himself in this mirror
and commenced to fight the glass imme-
diately. He made a terrible struggle
against his imaginary foe, and it was not
long before the parlor was full of hens
that came in dying of curiosity to see what
the rumpus was. Mr.. Abadie came in too,
and tried to put the fiery bird out of the
room, when he found that he had fight
on his hands. The chicken, with blood in
his eye, went for him in the hottest fashion,
but was finally elected without any serious
wound to either biped in the conflict. Mr..
Abadie, however, thought he would employ
a substitute to do his chicken fighting for
him; 30 he came up town to Mrs. Berg's
and selected one Of the stoutest dunghills
she had in her coops. He did not seem to
think that grit is more valuable in fight
than mere muscle, and he turned his pur-
chase loose in front of the belligerent
gamecock. A whiz followed, then fut-
ter and sqaawk that was heard all over
town. The dunghill had put forth the
piteous squawk and. concentrating into his
wings all the strength he had left, hied
himself through the air to the top OF Mr..
Abadie's dwelling. 1t is needless to say
that he staid up there until he was taken
down for kitchen use.

Experiments Making, with New
Processes to save IL.


Every miner who has operated placer
claims know something about black sands
found in many gravel banks, and have be-
lieved that these sands contain gold. To
amalgamate this metal and collect it at
small expenses has been source of much
experiment. In late number of the Min
ing and Scientific Press, Mr.. Almarin b.
Paul publishes the results Of some of his
experiments. His tests were made on
quantities ranging from three to thirty
pounds Of the sand, and calculations made
as TO value per ton. Fourteen tests OF
sands from hydraulic mines ranged from
nothing up to S475, and the average per ton
was SI52.05. Four tests of sands from drift
mines ranged from $3.50 to S271 80, the
average being S103.25 per ton. Four tests
from river sands averaged $l4.2l per ton,
the lowest being $40. Mr.. Paul became
satisfied that the sands Of the Pacific Ocean
along the beach contained gold, and ne
gives the results Of ten tests, in which he
obtained 80 cents per ton from the lowest,
and $3.50 from the highest. Samples
from the beach below the Cliff House. San
Francisco, gave $3.50; $2.l0; S2.40. and
81 .35 per ton, in four tests. Mr.. Paul
says he knows OF sands which run as high
as $4,000 per ton, and claims that by his
process the gold can be saved at great
profit. Snake River, Idaho, has immense
quantities of these black sands, and should
this new process prove q success. that To-
cality will give millions Of gold to the COM
merce of the world.

Grand Army Ball.

The ball given by Upton Post, G.. A. R..
at the Eureka Opera House last night, was,
as anticipated, decidedly pleasant enter
tainment. The attendance was large,
though doubtless a good many we're kept
away by the rain, which made the streets
very muddy and the walking bad. Only q
few memb bers of the CENTENNIAL and Union
Guard companies came down from Ruby
Hill, whereas many Of them would have
been present with their partners but for
the storm, which made the trip down from
the Hill very inconvenient and disagreea-
BILE. Still, as stated, there was fine
attendance. The gentlemen in charge OF
the party were very attentive and cour-
teous, and made all who attended
feel welcome and at home. The men,
bers of the Grand Army were generally
out in uniform, and all wore the
badges OF the veteran association.
Gen. p. E. Connor was in full uniform
and, as full of life as boy; enjoyed the
joke OF conferring the badge OF Mexican
Veteran upon several OF his young lady
friends. The music furnished by Riegel-
huth's band was unusually good. The ball
was altogether very nice and enjoyable,
and reflects credit on the Grand Army;
and shows, also, that the people OF the
town are disposed to assist them cheerfully
in their efforts to provide homo for the
old veterans who have become helpless
and those who, though not old, are disa-
bled, and are forced to call upon their
former comrades in arms for aid. Had
the gentlemen on the committee solicited
for the sale OF tickets they could easily
have packed the hall, but they did not
do so, preferring to leave it to those who
wanted tickets to come to them and get
them without solicitation. Something
above expenses will be realized, but how
much cannot be calculated accurately un-
I'll the accounts are all in. Upton Post
has done we'll, at all events. in giving the
people a fine entertainment and have
gained something, whether much or little,
for a most worthy purpose.

RARRETT IN LONDON.
wnat the English Papers Say oi
Our Lawrence.

WhAf HDe
Our Lawrence.
twill not be surprising that Lawrence
p.rrett. on his first appearance before a
great audience in London, was subjected
70 severe and searching criticism. 1t was,
,lso to be expected that the English
pspers would be less gushing in their cri'i-
.;sms over Barrett than the American
,.,ers were in regard to Irving. 1t is
rather the disposition of our people to look
upon the English as superior to our own
neople. Our English cousins, encouraged
by this, perhaps, are inclined rather to
iook down upon Americans and underrate
than. We do not believe, however, that
critics generally in America regard Barrett
"a Irying's equal on the stage. Still, we
doubt il there are many London critics,
since Booths London engagement, who
do not consider him equal, If not superior,
10 Irving. We give below, in dispatch
received night before last, but crowded out
Yesterday, the comments of the London
press on Barrett's acting. Americans will
detect in them probably a predisposition
10 structure, rather than encomium; yet,
II need not be disguised, that much the
same has been said Of Lawrence Barrett in
honest criticism by his admirers and
friends on this side Of the Atlantic:
LONDON, April 14.--The appearance OF
Lawrence Barrett at the Lyceum Theater
Saturday in Yorick's Love is made the
occasion for extended comment and criti-
csm by all the morning papers. As
usual there is great variety of opinions.
Mach Ia found TO commend, much to con-
denim. The Times recognizes that he is q
highly trained actor, and says he will al
ways please, even il be can never deeply
stir an audience. The Standard finds in
him no trace OF tragic power and declares
that he fails when passion is required.
The Telegraph thinks that many will be
pleased TO see an actor so full OF magnet
ism and so GLIDE Of tongue with Shaks-
pearean drama. The News, however,
asserts that his calculated efforts and
studied effects are so obvious on the
whole. The Post declares that he ap-
peals more to the intellect than to the
emotional nature.

No Appeal TO the Commissioners OF
the Interior.

The Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia, sitting in banc, has decided, so
we learned by telegraph night before last,
in the patent case of Hoe vs. Scott, that
there is no appeal to the Secretary of the
Interior from decision of the Commis-
sion of Patents. The custom of entertain
ing such appeals sprang up during Seore-
tary Kirkwoodss administration, and has
continued down to the present time, the
records showing that many decisions OF
the Commissioner have been reversed by
the Secretary.
