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.

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.
David Nagle, Deputy United States Marshal,
iu 1881 received the appointment as
chief of police of Tombstone. While occupying
that position he had frequent encounters
1T<m oTTjcTng" a man of undieputable courage I
and bravery, lie shot and killed a Mexican
desperado in Tombstone after a fierce struggle.
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

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. Intloptl n?? mat*??r Itno na
sumed such proportions that our most intelligent
men aro considering how it may
he decreased, nnd what is tlie reason for
the incroaso;
Human life seems in the eyes of many to
be more than that of the brute, and man
kills his fellow-inan, in many instances,
for ?ery trivial acuees, and, without even a
reprimand, go out '.gain into tho world a
free man, withou'. any apparent repentance
for his most aWiul deed.
We search in vain for the cause of the
juurcuso ncooruiug 10 ine views oi many.
Men, prominent socially and politically,
are shot down like dogs, and in most cases
the plea of solf-dofensc is nil that is necessary
to acquit. We dislike very much to
believe that this thing will continue, but
unless the laws are more rigidly enforced, '
and the rope brought more frequently into
use, we have little promise for improvement
in the luture.
We hope to see n public sentiment cultivated
that will look down upon those who
seem to have such an utter disregard for
human life, and one that will be such a
pressure upon our courts and juries that
no guilty man will be allowed to escape.?

Our hiffhlv esteemed friend Mr .T r
L. S. i I ill, formerly of this county, b?l now o
of Ukoloua, Miss., paid us n very pleasant b
visit last Tuesday. In his visit to his native p
county, this time he is accompanied by his v
wife, who is the daughter of the venerable
and highly respected Col. Robert lleaty, p
about the oldest man in the county.
We arc glad to sec our good friend looking
so hale and hearty, with his usual How
of spirits, indicating that many years of life
are in store for him. Like all who leave
Union, Mr. and Mrs. Hill still love it, and C
would be glad to return if their business D
complications would permit.
BJ?,. W? learn that an injunction has s
b?cn served upon the committee of the f
Hoard of Trade and others interested in
changing the road between here and West's I
Spring, restraining them from encroaching a
upon certain lauds through which the new f
road would nocessarily pass. c
In this dilemma permit iih to suggest that n
the Town Council, the Hoard of Trade and I
County Commissioners join their forces find t
put the old road in good permanent condi- fi
tion. A small outlay of money, some blasting
and some judicious road work, would
make a splendid road, with a hard rock I
foundation, that would remain good for 3
years, and be better than any ?ew road. 1

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

We have often heard Medical men say that *

to mental and physical strength and
activity, as it rubs off the rust that accumu- '

We suggest, however, that if thej pur- 4

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

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.
What thi Allianoi uas Dons.?It would
bo unfair not to give the Farmere* Alliance
credit for the work it has dons in this direction:
Thoy have proaohod stead.ly the
doctrine of makiog the farms self-sapt
porting, and their troohings is large'*
duo to the result.
What else has the Alliance done? Noest<mate
is full or just that doss not take
account of the work of this rtmarkable
movement.
1st. 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. Let our friends be content,
therefore, with the well seasoned and well
approved axiom, that "Qod halpe those whe
help themselves."?Atlanta Constitution. t
