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. , ■ . „ . , - vvimuuii uck.uii u»r procurin'; an un- ««umiura -iuikisu Mackey, and "II tho leading conserv- aemaedbg with the porte, regard.

A MYSTERIOUS SESSION OF THE BRIT ISH CABINET—THE FLEET IN MOTION —DESPERATION OF THE PORTE THE DALLYING OF RUSSIAN DIPLO MACY, ETC. [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. The man-of-war Sbab, 26 guns, the swiftest vessel in the English navy, is ordered to Bezika. ' DIPLOMATIC JUGGLING. . - A dispatch from Reuter’s telegram anything is lawful which promises a company, from Paris, says: It is chance of shedding the blood of stated here that England has replied democrats.

England lias decided to leave tho ing an armistice and conditions of peace. 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 to-day showed the 6ame or a greater recovery as the London Stock Ex change evidencing that returning confidence which the Pall Mall Ga zette wares its readers against.

The best evidence that Eng land does not look to hostilities is found in the further prorogation of parliament. 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-
