HAMPTON ADVISES THE PEOPLE TO
OBSERVE THE LAW.
Augusta, Oct. 31.—Gen. Hamp
ton, iu a speech at Aiken to-day,
said: The people must offer no_ re
sistance to arrest, but submit quietly
ed to telegraph General Hampton
to that effect. This paragraph pro
duced much talk and some excite
ment.
I called on Judge Black to-night
to ascertain what truth, if any, there
was in it. He answered with an em
phatic denial of the whole story.
There was no meeting of any kiud
formal or informal. He had express
ed no opinion of that kind. He did
not believe that General Hampton
onght to withdraw, and no matter
what lie might think he would
not thrust his opinion on General
Hampton nor join with others
in Offering him any ooonsel what-
tleman, said he, is as thoroughly qual
ified as any man in America to de
cide what should be done in the
emergency which he is called upon to
meet. His blood and judgement Rjt
so well commingled that his determi
nations are sure to be right and his
acts efficient. I think he wiV heat
Grant, Patterson, Chamberlain and all
the carpet bag thieves tiiat back
them.
Reporter—What do you think of
President Grant’s conduct in this
business ? /
Jndge Black—It' is the most law
less outrage on record. It k forbid
den by the express words of the con
stitution and by its whole spirit.
Even if it were the exercise of legal
power, it is a cruelty so base that no
civilized despot would be guilty of it
Reporter—But is there no defense
or excuse for it ?
JndgeBlack—None whatever. Ig
norance would be no excuse; but the
parties .mainly engaged in pushing
this affair on are not ignorant of the
law. Some persons who justified the
crimes t>f the administration in Lou-
isiaua might possibly believe this also
to be right. Sheridan, for instance,
may be stupid enough to think that
York, will probably attempt to vindi
cate it. He is a good patent lawyer,
and a very honest man, but he knows
nothing of the constitution, except
that it puts foreign missions in the
gift of the president. John Patter
son knows it is all wrong; so does
Cameron; so does Grant. They
laugh in their sleeves at tho flatterers
who tell them that they can legally
use the military fcrpe of the union or
the militia of other states for the
purpose of controlling the elections
in South Carolina* They know also,
as a matter of foot, that there is no
disturbance there and will be none,
exeept what they make themselves.

[Telegram to the Constitution.]
APPEALING TO HER ENEMY.
London, Oct. 21.—The Paris cor
respondent of the Times intimates
the probability of Turkey’s throwing
overboard the protection of the pow
ers and negotiating directly with
Russia. < The Turkish statesmen think
they can save Bulgaria by granting
the liberty of tho Bosphorus to Rus
sia. It is true that Turkey is bound
by the treaties of 1856, to which the
freedom of the Bosphorns is contrary;
but the powerlessness of Europe is
driving Turkey into negotiations
with her bitterest enemy, aud the
porte may break the treaty in de
spair.

A special dispatch from Berlin t,o
the Pall Mall Gazette, says the re
port is current there that the powers
have again collectively urged the
porte to an unconditional acceptance
of England’s proposals.
AN ULTIMATUM FROM RUSSIA.
London, Oct. 21.—A Reuter’s dis
patch from Vienna says, Russia has
presented to the porte an ultimatum,
embracing in substance the following
points:
First—-A six weeks’ armistice un
conditionally.
Second^—Administrative aqtonoiny
for Bulg.ina, Bosnia and Herzego
vina.
Third—The execution of reforms
under the supervision of commission
ers named by the great powers, and
to be protected by an armed foreign
force.
MODIFYING VIEWS.
At Belgrade it is declared that the
Czar’s return to St. Petersburg will
be the signal for the entry of a Rus
sian army into Bulgaria.
London, Oct 21.--The Pall MaU
Gazette in an article says: We have
no faith in the negotiations or the
reported understandings between the
powers, and do not believe any of
them have abated their pretentions,
laid aside their jealousies or modified
their policy. The article concluded
as follows: The least sanguine view
is at present the safest, we shall do
wisely in believing there is*not yet
any such concert or understanding
between the powers as may ensure
Europe against the worst constituents
of war between Turkey and Russia.
Note.—All the continental bourses

A Guess at Uncle Sammy’s
Cabinet.
Whether Uncle Sam Tilden has
commenced to write his inaugural mes
sage, as advised by tho. editoi of the
Springfield Republican, is doubtful;
but those who may be presumed toi
know assert that the personel of his as
sistants in the administration has al
ready come under his consideration,
and it is even affirmed that the mem.
bers of our centennial cabinet can be
already indicated with considerable
certainty. Charles Francis Adams, of
Massachusetts is named for Secretary
of State, Hugh McCulloch, of Indiana
for Secretary of the Treasury, George
B. McClellan, of New York for Secre
tary of War, Gideon Welles, of Con
necticut for Secretary of the Navy,
Joel Parker, of New Jersey for Sec
retary of the Interior, Gilbert Walker,
of Virginia for Postmaster General,
and Jere Black, of Pennsylvania for
Attorney General. Whether the
event shall authenticate the flying ru
mors upon which the above statement
is based, the future can alone deter
mine ; but such selections would cer-
tainly go far toward reconciling the en
tire country, and would serve as one
earnest of the good time coming, when
the benignant result of “ Reform and
Reunion” shall have accomplished its
perfect work.
Tyranny’s Tocsin.—Aiken, S. C.,
October 12.—Eleven gentlemen in
town have been arrested and bailed
at $2,000. Twenty-six, in all, have
been bailed, and six are in jail who
will be tried to-morrow. Warrants
are issued against them for the intim
idation of American citizens of Afri-
