A Good Point.

Mr.. Danford made 4 iorcible and very
encouraging point in his speech last
night, when speaking OF the difference
between Indiana and New York as fac
tors in the Presidential problem on the
9Th OF next month. Indiana is sott-
money State, but New York Is not. Hen
bricks is the bugaboo who rides behind
.Tilden, and all the New Workers look at
him. Wheeler, on the other hand, who
rides bOhind Hayes, looms up to good
advantage in the eyes Of New Yorkers.
BE is not only Son OF York but New
Yorksrs know that il Hayes dies in Office
the Government will not be Andy
Johnsonizad as to a currency policy or In
any other particular. /. Is important
not only to have one sound man but two
on a Presidential ticket, for, as Fred
Douglass we'll said In his speech al

Vice Presidential Office Is a standing
meanace to the President. We have had

THE QUEENS CABINET IN COUNCIL.

LONDON, October 20.-The Cabinet met
yesterday. All the Ministers were pres.
ent. The Times says the meeting was
rendered necessary by the critical state Of
affairs in Europe, for the negotiations
which have occupied the last u months
are virtually ut an end, and war be.
tween Russia and Turkey is supposed
to be unavoidable. Every reso-
luton at time like this is
momentous. Even the conclusion that
nothing remains 10 be done Is one which
a single minister might decline to be re.
sponsible for. The ministers met only to
confirm by common accord the conclu-
sions at which the country had arrived.
II the result be only negative as far
as the present action Is concerned, this
only represents the almost unanimous
desire Of the nation. There is to be no
ultimatum or contingent declaration OF
war. There will, moreover, be no au-
tumnal session Of Parliament. The Cab
inet did nothing which can justify the
prevailing fears OF the British.

From the San FancIsco BIlletln, Oct. o.
An interesting question was elucidated
by Judge Wheeler this morning. It ap-
pears that on the 10Th Of June, 1875,
judgment by default was entered in the
l2th District Court against Thomas o.
Larkin for between $1,000 and $4,000,
and on this judgment ah execution was
issued against city lot. An action was
then begun in the 10Th District Court by
Frank Kennedy. as trustee for 7. Q. Lar.
kin and Minnie Lsrkin, to enioin Sheriff
Numan from selling the property.
The facts, as appeared from the papers
In the case, were these For many years
Larkin has been addicted to excessive
drinking to such an extent as to render
him unit to carry on business. In 1858 F.,
desiring to provide for the support Of his
daughter Minnie, Larkin conveyed the
property to Kennedy. It is set out in the
trust deed that Kennedy is to take charge
Of the property, to collect the rents, TO
pay expenses, taxes, &c, and to pay the
little girl $50 per month during her nat
ural life, the residue, after paying ex-
penses and the $50 per month, 70 &C, TO
tarkin duriug his natural lie. II the
daughter should die before the father,
then the $50. il to be paid TO him. The
trust is to continue until the death Of
both parties, and then the estate is to
descend to their legal representatives.
In case Larkin dies frat the daughter
may devise her interest byswill. 1mme-
diately after ithbdeediwe executed Ken
nedy accepted the trust. There was am
other provision 10 The deed that Kennedy
might sell the property il, in his judgment,
he co uld better invest the proceeds.
The complaint Of Kennedy states that
after Larkfn executed the trust deed he
incurred the debt upon which the execu.
ton was issued. The debt amounts to
over s., 900, solely for liquor sold to Lar.
kin by the glass oyer bar. The eques.
tion was whether Larkin had such an In:
terest in the property that the land could
be seized and sold 70 pay this debt.
The Court could mot see how Larkin
has any interest in the land, and rs II
would not be influenced by the character
Of the indgment-ior liquors sold-it was
ordered that the injunction should stand.

A Good Way TO Carry q state lor
the Democracy In which There
Is q, Large Republican AA'
inHliY.,

A Good Way 10 Carry q state IOE
the Democracy In which There
Is a Large Republican ma
jority.;
The Democratic reform party count
upon the Electoral vote OF South Caro-
lima, because Wade Hampton and the
whi.e.L Liners are relied upon TO suppress
the Republican majority as they have
sworn 70 do. They are saergetically sup.
pressing IT with their rife clubs and their
rough.rlders, who, fully armed, attend
Republican meetings, demand half the
time for their speakers and hall the seats
for their armed followers, while with
their fingers on the trigger they Signii.
cantly modulats the speeches Of Republi.
can orators and the applause Of Republi.
can audiences.
How It comes that South Carolina is
one OF the doubtful States is pointedly
indicated by Gen. Gary, enc of the most
prominent White. Line leaders Of the
State, 10 recent speech in which he said:
II any one tries 10 prevent you from
carrying the State for Tildeu and Hamp.
ton, the person or persons who so try
must be removed out OF the way by the
use OF sufficient force, and II it becomes
necessary to shoot them in order 10 re-
move them, then Re mTa be prepared %
shoot rdtlsr than be prepeated from rede:ning
Lhs STATE from Radical lr,sIe.
And that is the programme being car
ried out, and which makes South Carolina
one Of the dOubtfal States. How 1t
works is significantly indicated by the
Columbia R:giaer, Hampton's organ, in
its report ola meeting a few days since
at Darlington:
"During the speaking, news reached
the meeting Of slight disturbance in the
village. In few moments the mounted
clubs-600 strong and fully aruIed-sUsre IN
line, cool, steady, and quiet, Col. Law COM
mauding. The difficulty was soon settled,
when the business OF the meeting was re-
sumed. All was quiet in thirty minutes.
The ladies behaved splendidly, there be-
ing no panicor confusion. The difficulty
originated in the shooting Of negro by
white man in selfdeiense.
Naturally enough, the effect OF such
demonstrations upon the colored Repub-
licans, who are daily growing more and
more unwilling to be shot by "white men
in self-defense," is to make the result
doubtful in South Carolina. And the
reform Democracy, that accepts the FIJI
teenth Amendment. and wants the bloody
shirt buried, stands behind the White
Liners, with their avowed programme Of
removing" even by shooting whoever
tries to prevent the State being carried
for Tilden; and the Democratic outery
against military interference" to sup
press the riHe.clubs is already as blatant
| as in ls6O'6l 1t was against military ln-

which the rias-club4 are Il surviving
