ONLY Two MURDERs-A SOLEMN DECLARE
TON
SiLce the last sitting of the court, We
have only heard Of two murders committed
IN the county by white persons one was
committed 10 personal quarrel about
some property, and the murderer immedi-
ately fled and has not yet been arrested q
true bill has been found against him at this
term for the offence. The other murder
was ccmnitted by four white persons. in
the night time, undieguised the two col
ored persons that saw them did not know
any of them, and it is not known for what
he was murdered.
We. the grand jurors, upon our oaths,
are compelled TO say, from the testimony
which We have taken aud from our knowl
edge OF the different parts of the country,
that the allegations contained In tho proc
lama'iOn of the President of the United
States are without foundation aud must be
the result OF faltehood communicated tC
bin by persohs equally regardless of gooC
order and the peace OF society, and whose
only dim is their elevation to public place
as reward for their excessive partisan
z eal.
THE NJ LURE MURDER.
We would say that, in regard to the muir
der OF Bird Mcclure, we examined the Hon
Barney Humphries, but We could elicit NJ
| facts from him that would lead to the dis
covery of his murderers. We also examin
ed Squire Sims and Margaret Mcclure,
brother and wife of the deceased, who in
formed us that John Jaggers had told
Squire Sims that he knew some of th,
parties that we're connected with the muir

Twelve months ago the European press
teemed with accounts of battles and
sieges. War in it's most fearful form was
wasting the fair land of France, and the
voice Of desolation made itself heard, even
across the broad Atlsntic. In this now
happily peaceful Fall, the British news
papers and pietorials are again filled
with accounts Of battles. The ILLUSTRATED
London News" and the penny Illustra-
ted Paper" comes to US with spirited pic
lures of charges, retreats and skirmishes,
looking very much like the real battles of
last year. In addition, We are furnished
with elaborate maps of the ''theatre of
war" and plans of Sir Hope Grants in
trenchments on Chobham Common, with
the advance and repulse of Sir Charles
Staveley's forces in their attack upon
Grants position. All the redoubts are &C
curately laid down with their ranges of
fire in dotted lines according to the most
style. All this, together with

TERRORISM In CHESTER, S. c.


PresIdentr Allegations Without Foundn
t1On.
We find in the Chester Reporter The
presentment of the grand jury of the coun-
ty which disproves entirely the charges
contained 10 the Presidential proclama-
ton. The grand jury (six whites and six
blacks) ray /:
In consequence of our having seen in
the public press q proclamation of the
President OF the United States stating in
substance, among other things, that public
Justice could not be administered by either
the State or Federal judiciary or the Off
GERS thereof, and the rights of citizens
could not be protected by the ordinary
means heretofore provided for such pur-
pose s, and not being cognizant of a single
case in which al executive officer of the
State or Federal Government has been re-
eisted by either an individual or combiua-
ton Of individuals in this county, we
thought proper to inquire of the command
ant of this post for any facts that he might
have ascertained which would tend to veri-
fy the allegations contained in the said
proclamation.
THE SO CALLED KU KLUx GASES
The only facts which the said command
ant communicated to US was notices to two
freedmen, one of which is dated August
22i. signed tx. K. X" commanding the
freedmen to leave the State in two days
from the date thereof the other, without
date, signed by TX K. H." saying that
he was a traitor, and that he would receive
a traitors doom in two days, with the pic
ture Of the coffin drawn thereon, These
two freedmen were brought before us and
examined by us, and their testimony
is submitted with this report. from which
it will appear that no violence has been
doIe to either of them, who still reside at
their former places of abode. We also ex-
amined several other freedmen, to wit ::

form you that papers from your Office. addressed
TO parties at Angola. are freq 1enty put off here
on Friday morning, instead Of being carried to
Burgaw. from which point the angola mail
starts, and when papers and other mail matter
is thus carelessly LETT off here Friday aud for
warded by me to Burgaw on Saturday, it is
then too late for the Angola mail, and hence it
has TO remain over. just one week longer before
it can reach Angola. Sce if the fault is not in
the route agents.

Rocky Point. n. q.

We willingly give place to the above
letter, but must. at thesame time, disclaim
any intention of rejecting upon the post
master at Burgaw or the Angola mail car
rier. We have been satisfied, all along,
that the fault lay in the mail agents on
the line of the railroad, only, we thought
that they did not take the time to distrib-
ute it, but ran by with it and left it at
Burgaw on their return. This opinion,
not expressed, is still plainly in
timated in our first article. We hope that
the evil will be corrected hereafter.
