WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 31.-TwO of
this mornings papers relate the result of
injuries 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 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
D6eu seen IOI G"O uttyS previous 10 Tie lire.

fasting when alarmed. The boat was res
cued by the schooner Spy. A schooner
was sent towards the burning ship but re-
turned and reported that nothing was seen

breaking heavily in the reefs. Seven fe-
males and seven children were on board,

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 nevsNaDar
published in this city.
On Monday the Solicitor, a Renublican
informed the Judge, also a Republican,
that he wished to send up a new bill and
asked him to send for the Jury and in
struct them specially in 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
noL The Jury was brought into court and
the Judge delivered his charge, stating
that the matter set forth in the indict-
ment as exhibited in court constituted a
libel, and that if true bill was not found
the jurors would commit perjury. The
alleged llbelous 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 ola tender age, who, by promise of
mild treatment, were induced to plead
guilty before scoundrel like Judge
Bond without any trial at all. 1t is all
rightin Radical eyes to pardon the Penn
sylvania thieves, but it would be all wrong
to pardon the North Carolina kukluX, So
called
The grown man Gorkes goes free, and
the boy, Ramsour is in a felOn's cell. Can
North Carolinians reconcile it to their
manhood or to their coRsciences to vote
Tor Grant. If Grant is beaten Radicalism
Will die, if Grant is reelected RadicaIism
will live.
