President Grants Conduct the Most
Lawless Outrage on Record.

President Grants Conduct the Most
Lawless Outrage on Record,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Some of the
newspapers of this morning contained
q statement that an informal meeting
of Democrats was held last night at
the Ebbitt House, Judge Black, of
Penusylva mia. being the principle
speaker; that the Presidents South
Carolina proclamation was discussed
and the conclusion reached thai Gen
eral Hampton ought 10 retire from the
contest for Governor; let Grant carry
the State for Hayes and get the Presi-
Dental vote thrown out by the
House of Representatives, and that it
was determined to telegraph Gen.
Hampton to that effect. This paragraph
produced much talk and some excite
ment. l called on Judge Black to-
night to ascertain what truth. IL any
there was in it. He answered. with an
emphatic Dental of the whole story.
There was no meeting Of any kind,
informal. He had expressed no opin-
ion of THAI kind. He did not believe
that Gen. Hampton ought to with
draw, and no matter what he Judge
Black) might think, he would thrust
his advice on Gen. Hampton, nor Join
with others in offering him any coun-
sci whatever about his canvass. 'Ihat
gentleman" said he, lis as thorough
ly qualified as any man in America to
decide what should be done in the
emergency which he Is called to meet.
His blood and Judgment are so we'll
commingled that bis determinations are
sure to be right and his acts efficient
l think he will beat Grant, Patterson,
Chamberlain, and all the carpetsbag
thieves that back them"
Reporter-What do you think of
General Grants conduct In this bust !,
ness?
Judge Bit is the most law
less outrage on record. 1t is forbidden
by the express words of the Constitu
ton, 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,.
Judge B.-None whatever. Igno-
rance would be no excuse. But the
parties mainly engaged in pushing
this affair are not ignorant of the
law. Some persons who justified the
crimes of the Administration in Loni
siana might possibly believe this also
to be right. Sheridan, for instance,
may be stupid enough to think that
anything is lawful which promises q
chance OF shedding tbs blood of Dem
acrats. Mr.. .Ssoughton, of New York
will probably attempt to vindlcate 1t
He is good patent lawyer, and q very
honest man, but he knows nothing Of
the Constitution except that It puts
foreign missions in the gift Of the
President. John Patterson knows 1t is
all wrong; so does Cameron; so does
Grant. They laugh In their sleeves at
the fatterers who tell them they can
legally use the military force OF the
Union or the militia Of other States
for the purpose of controlling elections
10 South Carolina. They know also,
az a matter of fact that there is no
disturbance there, and will be none
except what they make themselves
