H^^^^H|flR^LAPPKD JUSTICE FIELD'S was shot by a MABSHALL. San Fr4ncisco,~ August 14.?Ex-Judge David 8. Terry km shot and killed by Deputy United States Marshal David Nagle, at the breakfart table, In the depot hotel, at Lathrop, this morning. The shooting was eaused by the assault made by Terry upon Juslioe Field of the United States Supremo Oenrt. Latbroi*, Aug. 14.?The Southern Overland train arrived here at 7.30 o'clock this morning, and the passengers alighted^ for breakfast. Judge Stephen J. Field and a Deputy United States Marshal Nagle walked into the depot dining room and sat down vb for breakfast, side by side. : JlldKfl VkTUi a. .Ttirrv and mi+, ed_in the Sharon divorce case, oame in also. Tbey were going to another table when Mrs. Terry recognized Justice Field, aud immediately returnd to tbo train for some unknown purpose. As soon as sbt bad left the dining room, and before she reach, the train, Judgo Terry walked to where Justice Fied eat, and stooping over him, slapped his face. Deputy Marshal Nsgle thereupon arose from his scat and shot Judge Terry through the heart. Stockton, Col., August 15.?At the inquest last night over the dead body of Judge Terry no new facts were developed. A number of witnesses were examined, among them bciog the proprietors of the hotel at Lathrop. The coroner's jury returned a vordict that the deceased came to his death from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by David Nagle, at Lathrop. San Francisco. August 16.?lhe following facts were submitted to Justice Field and declared.bv him ,tp be correct statemen t of During Juagc 1 erry s confinement in the County jail be threatened upon his release to take the lives of Judges Field and Saw* I yer. Prior to contempt of court, for whioh he was in prison, Mrs. Terry, in his presence, had made an assault on Judge Sawyer in a Pullman car. It is believed that had Sawyer resisted the insult Terry would have killed him. Terry's threats were so publicly uiade that they reached the ears of Justice Field's colleagues of the Supreme bench and were made known to tho Department of Justice iu Washington, whereupon Attorney Genoral Miller ordered Marshal Franks to take whatever means were necessary to protect the persons of Jusiico Field and Judge Sawyer from assault. On his arrival in California to hold court in this part of his circuit, .Justice Field objected to being put under the protection of the Marshal's office. When asked if he intended to carry arms to defend himself, bo said, "No, I do not, and will not carry arms for when it is knowu tho Judges of courts arc campelled to arm themselves for the defence of assaults offered In consequence of their judical notion, it will be time to dissolve courts, consider the government a failure and let society lapse into barbarism." Notwithstanding his objection to protection, the Marshal declared himself subject to the order of of his superior officer, Attorney General Miller, and deputized Mr. Nagle to keep within reach of Justice Field, ready to carry out the orders of the Department of Justice. In an interview at Indianapolis Attorney General Miller corroberates this statement and says he gave Marshal Franks orders to protect the Judges. A passenger who was on the train at Lathrop says that when ho heard the shooting he rushed out of tho car and saw Mrs. Terry with a satchel in her haml. She w.n trvin,? t.i open it nml lie look it from her. She tried to gaiu prosession of it ogain but failed. When the satchel was opened afterwards a pistol was found in it.

Xngle was appointed Deputy Marshal here a year ago, and when Terry made an assault on Marshal Franks last September, Xnglo disarmod him. The reports circulated that Terry intended doing Justice Field some injury when they met. caused Xnglo to be detailed to act ns a body guard to liim when he came to the coast a few months ago A Fkaiulm, IIecobd.?We arc really afraid to say how many homicides we have had in South Carolina luring the past twelve months, but of one thing we are certain, and that is that it presents a most fearful recurJ.

For the life of us *e can see but one reason for any one leaving tho town of * Union in quest of health and comfort, during any part of the year; and that one rea- '' son Is, a desire for ?kwse, and to be In the fashion. We have often heard Medical men say that * a change of nir and surroundings was conducive to mental and physical strength and activity, as it rubs off the rust that accumu- ' iates from the monotony of everyday life, rests the mind and body, brightening both, and renewing their vigor for the better per- ? formnncc of all their functions in the duties ^ of life afterward. Hut when any one leaves Union pretend- * ing to seek a healthier or pleasanter place in ? Summer, or any other time of the yoar, be or she will have a long and dreary road to r' ravel, and will return greatly disappointed t( in the result of the search, and perfectly satisfied that Union possesses all the attrac- J' lions of health, comfort, society, or solid v business advantages, equal to any place on it. r nf a, . a ?? i ilm ? ?> ?

We suggest, however, that if thej pur- 4 hase a bell, it should be plaoed on the b lotel. That would bo the most central (j >osition and being nearer the populous part f the town, the alarm from it would be ? icsrd quicker and by more people than if Cl ilaccd at the extreme end; besides, it & rould be always accessible, and at the ame time under the eye of some one to ? resent its being rung for false a'arms. j 0 Pa&~ The action of the Liverpool Cotton Exchange upon the matter of cotton vs ute bagging, it seems to us, should show ^ he cotton producers of this country how ompletely they are at the mcrey of foreign U oarkcts and speculators, and impel them to ^ brow all their influence and means toward stablishiDg and sustaining among them- ^ elves all those industries in which cotton orms a part or n whole of their products. ^ Many fear we arc overdoing the Cotton ftl 'antnrv htiainami Whr in ilia HahIIi ? ro hardly on the threshold of the cotton T abric enterprises.

Many graves have no stone to mark the spot, lost in awilderness of grass and weeds is almost every sacred reeling spot of our beloved dead loved and honored in life, forgotten in death. This sacred ground is too ofica made a cow pasture. As we walkccTthrough gross grown streets of this silent city of the dead, we were amazed, and ' wondered in our mind, what would some 1 who are buried there think, If they could * come from their graves and gaze for a mo. -Mieut npuavhe scene ?

TABS Oil COTTON BALKS. 1 will publish the following extraot from the Xetcs and Courier of Aug. 14, whioh gives to the farmer a pries for net cottOQ; the weight of hoops and oottea bagging boing deducted : Major L. A. Ransom has just reoelved a dispatch from Col. Butler, eommisaioder ef ^ agriculture, who, with other Southern oommisioners, is in New York for the purpose of inducing the Cotton Exchange te ohange the tare on ootton bagging. The dispatoh states that the Cotton Exchange to-day granted all that the commissioners asked. What they intended to ask and doubtless did requsst was, that the prion of ootton he fixed for net cotton ; that Is, the staple without bagging or hoops. Ileretofore an average of about per oent has been dedaeted for tare, or the weight of bagging and ties. This concession opens the way for the general use of cotton instead of jute bagging, as the Liverpool Exobange will hardly refbse to make the same agreement. But, Mr. Editor, that arbitrary body has refused : Cotton Baooiko Condemned bt the Liver* tool Association.?Charleston, August 19. ?The President of the Charleston Cotton Exobange has reoeived a letter from Peter Brown, President of the Liverpool Cotton Assooiation (Limited), in whioh that official says: I have beeh instructed to intimate to the American exchanges that this association condemns the use of cotton begging, add does not see its way clear to make any 1 egislative dealiog with ootton so covered. As the Farmers' Alliances in this State have already made arrangememenls for ootton covering for the ooming crop, the situation looks alarming. Most of the members of the Charleston Exchange are out of the oity, and no action has been taken aa yet on the letter. Illooke very muoh like there will hi trouble here as soon as the eotton m (Toman' begins.?Col. Register.

Tho crops bavs been made on less money than ever before in our bis'ory. "Economy and self-denial" has been the watchword of the Alliance, and it has been carried to the point of heroism. Ths noble women of the Alliance have been foremost in this as in other good works, end beep worn faded and dingy clothes that their husbands and sons might onoe more get on their feet. Is it not enough to ssy that Georgia's oreps this year will cost bor 80 per cent, lees than they coot last year! 2d. The farmers art less In debt than ever before. Merchants evsrjwhtrs will testify to this. Trad# Is thus mads safer ; prices to the farmer are m&le lower, and he will market his orop with more liberty ana to setter advantage?obooelng hU oy(M selling timo and place. The advantage*' of this will be ao apparent that he will not, easily go in debt again, and the old, unsafe. unbalanced and oppressive system of v<?52 farming under a lien and buying on line, will be largely abandoned. Tbia ayatem haa been a false one from beginning to end, > under whioh general prosperity and pendenoe was impossible. It meant uneasl* ness and risk to the morohantand vassalage to the farmer. Let us hqpe that In tne abundant harvest* of this season accounts will be squared, the old systsin abolished; and a new and beiier plan adopted. Maoy of the speakers now addressing the Alliance meetings claim that in the un- M precedented harvests cf the year Uod is fl bestowing his blessing on the Alliens* movement. Many of the farm'ers believe ' j that through these harvests Qod smiles en their work and approves. No man oan interpret the wisdom that la inrcrutable.
