Chester Grand Jury Report.
The grand jury of Chester, in regard to
so much of Judge Mackey's charge as related
to the disturbances which occurred in that
county in March, 1871, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
In reference to the disturbances and alleged
conspiracy in this county in the spring of
1871, to which the attention Of the jury was
especially directed by the court, they would
report that after diligent effort, they have
been unable to arrive at any reliable informa-
tion upon which to base presentment. None
of the facts with reference to said occurrences
are within the personal knowledge of any
member of the jury, nor has any testimony
come to their knowledge calculated to throw
any light upon the same. From the most re-
liable information that this bod could obtain,
there were three citizens killed in the fight at
New Hope Church, and so far from their bo-
dies being allowed to lie for daya on the pub
lie highway, they were inferred the next day
by white and colored citizens of the vicinity.
The nearest Trial Justice to the scene of the
conflict was Mr.. H. G. Brawley, but whether
or not he was informed of the occurrence, this
body is not prepared to state.
Ravages Of the Horse Malady.
- Among the most important localities at
which the malady now affecting so large a
number of horses has appeared, we may men,
tion Eastport, Maine, Boston, the city of
New York, Poughkeepsie, Port Jervis, East
Orange and Newark, j., Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, Pa, Columbus, Cleveland, and
Cincinnati, Ohio, Chicago, Washington, Bal
timore, Norfolk and Portsmouth. Seven
hundred cases are reported in Chicago and
fifty in Pittsburg. In Philadelphia, though
ten Thousand horses are sick, not fatal case
has yet been reported. Over twelve hundred
cases are reported from Cincinnati At East
Orange, N. j., the disease has attacked COWS
causing the death of fifty. In Cleyeland the
disease is spreading, while in Poughkeepsie
and other places on the Hudson river, it is
also increasing Little change is reported in
Boston, while the disease is spreading in the
New England States. In Baltimore it is es-
timated that four thousand houses are affect
ed, in consequence of which many of the
street cars have stopped running. The fatal
ity in New York city has been very great.
On Thursday one hundred and ten deaths
were reported, and On Friday eight hundred.
Oxen are now employed in the streets to do
the work of horses, and it is with the greatest
difficulty that draying and carting can be
done, while all the street cars have stopped.
The steamer India, which arrived on Friday
has not commenced to discharge her cargo,
and it is said if the present state of things
continues week longer, steamers cannot be
unloaded. Severe cessation to business must
ensue as regards the carrying of freight.
By the latest kilograms we learn that in
New York city the disease is abating, though
disagreeable feature of the epidemic is the
number of carcasses in the facilities
for removing them not being equal to the de-
mand. In Washington city no street cars are
running, and but few hacks. The laboring
horses in Norfolk are nearly all affected, and
many in the surrounding country are disabled.
In that city, on Monday, the outward-bound
mail and express matter failed to make the
trains and boats for want of horses. The dis
ease has also appeared at Goldsboro, N. c.,
and at Charleston, in this State, in which lat
ter city majority Of the horses and mules
are affected.
Petition for the Pardon Of Ku-Klux.
AT the recent term of the Circuit Court
for Chester county, the grand jury addressed
the subjoined communication to the presiding
Judge Hon. T. J. Mackey. The document
is signed by fifteen of the grand jury-ten Of
whom are white men and FIVE colored. 1t is
hoped that the grand jurors of York county,
may deem it proper to pursue similar course,
and thus endeavor to secure the release of a
number of the persons from this county, who
are now confined in the Albany penitentiary :

Circuit Of South Carolina:
