NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 31.-The horse
lnalady has appeared here and in Ports
mouth Notwithstanding the vigorous
measures of the city authorities to prevent
its introduction. Two horses have died
of the disease and Others are reported in n

! WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 3l.-Two of
this mornings papers relate the result of
! inquiries made at the Rail Road Express
! offices and livery stables, and the conClu |
! sion reached is, that 40 or 80 horses have
| symptoms of the equine epidemic, while |
another morning paper, the reporter of
which visited numerous stables, says
! veterinary surgeons are not attending any
| horses in the city that are suffering from
| the disease above mentioned, and, further |
more, they did not believe there was q case !
in the city. There are horses suffering
with colds, certainly nothing unusual at
this season. But many owners and doc |
tors, who have horses in their care, express
fears that their animals will be attacked
by the disease and are taking precautions
| accordingly.
KEY WEST, FLA, Oct 31.-The only eX-
pense incurred in this port by the little
English steamer Anna belonging to the
Atlantic Mail Steamship Company, which
| brought to this port the survivors of the
| Inflated steamship Missouri, from Nassau,
was forced upon her by the United States
| Customs officers, who even charged her
| with tonnage dues for twelve months in
advance. Every one else with whom the
Anna had business worked willingly and
gratuitously.
When the boat of survivors left the
burning ship, one boat was seen keel
upwards with two men on the keel The
| boat lay by to save them, but it is not like
| ly that any of them escaped. No sail had
been seen for two days previous to the fire.
For forty minutes after the rescued boat
had left the ship they saw the passengers
and crew left on the vessel crowded on the
after part. The passengers were break
| fasting when alarmed The boat was res
, cued by the schooner Spy. \ schooner
was sent towards the burning ship but re-
turned and reported that nothing was seen
of the boat or passengers. The sea was
breaking heavily in the reefs. Seven fe-
males and seven children were on board,
none of whom got in boats.
! WILMINGTON, n. c., Oct. 31.-On last
Saturday the grand jury for the superior
court now in session in this county, threw
out bill of indictment for libel against
the Journal, a Democratic newspaper,
published in this city.
On Monday the Solicitor, Il Republican,
informed the Judge, also Republican,
that he wished to send up new bill and
asked him to send for the jury and in
struct them specially III relation to the law.
He also informed the Judge that the par
ties against whom he wished to proceed
were the editors of the Wilmington Jour
nal The Jury was brought into court and
the Judge delivered his charge, stating
, that the matter set forth in the indict-
| ii .,.N At ,,N,
libel and that if true bill was not found
the Jurors would commit perjury. The
| alleged libelous matter is as follows:
| The difference, according to Radical
ideas of right and wrong and of justice, is it
is all right to turn Northern convicts out
of the penitentiary, although they are
. grown men and notorious thieves, found
guilty by a jury after fair trial, but it is
all wrong to turn out young Southern
, boys of tender age, who, by promise of
, mild treatment, were induced to plead
guilty before scoundrel like Judge
f Bond without any trial at all. 1t is all
right in Radical eyes to pardon the Penn
sylvania thieves, but it would be all wrong
to pardon the North Carolina kullluX, So
, called
The grown man Yorles goes free, and
| the boy, Ramsour is in a felon's cell. Can
! North Carolinians reconcile it to their
, manhood or to their coasciences to vote
, for Grant. If Grant is beaten Radicalsm
will die, if Grant is reelected Radicalism
, will live.
, Yesterday afternoon the jury again came
= into court and were lectured by the Judge
4 in manner considered highly insulting
= for having taken no action on the bill. Up
to the present time the jury have not
e found the bill. The affair has created con-
5 siderable excitement in the city and much
= Indignation is expressed, at what is re-
. garded by many as an effort to stitle the
;, freedom of the press.
