Special to the Banner. Ixdiaxapoi.18, August 16.—Attorney' General Miller was seen again at his residence yesterday,and asked if he had anything further to say about the shooting of Judge Terry by Marshall Nagle. He replied: “I see from the papers that the ac tion of the deputy is pretty generally endorsed. It appears to be considered that Nagle’s presence was necessary and his action justifiable. I do not care to speak of the legal aspect of the case: I do not know any' case analogue iu our history, and I do not recall that it has ever been necessary' before to provide protection for a United States judge. If the case comes to trial, I sup pose I will he called to testify, but I question there will ever be a trial. The grand jury may refuse to act, or the cor oner’s jury may find it a case of justifi able homicide. I have not examined the legal side of the question, however. I thought protection of officers of the law might be necessary, and I knew something about the desperate charac ter of the man whom Justice Fields had to deal with. I thought of trouble when the trial began, but of course I did not ‘look for it at a way station or upon a train. If the Justice’s life was in danger, though, he was as much entitled to the protection of the officer at an eating house as in a court room or upon the bench.” Though the Attorney-General was very guarded in his utterances, his language indicated very plainly that lie believed Deputy' Nagle fully justi fied in shooting Terry. A MODERN MARCAXTOXY. Stockton, Cal., August 16.—Judge Porter, of {Arizona,'one of Taylor’s friends, will deliver an oration at the funeral of Terry this afternoon. He say's he will go for Justice Field, and denounce Terry’s shooting as a foul murder. A number of citizens declare that if Porter does this they will stop him, If they have to use force.

Atlanta, Ga., August 16.—Four or five.hundred Confederate veterans from all parts of Georgia met in the old eapi tol Thursday at noon, for the purposed of organizing a State Veterans’ associa tion. Judge W. Lowndes Calhoun,of Atlan ta, called the meeting to order, and in doing so made a fine address.

B. P. Wheeler, representing the great jute bagging manufacturing firm of Bullard & Wheeler, of New York, was in Athens this week. So soon as The Banner learned.of 31r. Wheeler’s business, a reporter sought him out to learn the latest news from the trust that tlie Farmers* Alliance is fighting so bitterly. Mr. Wheeler we found in conference with one of our wholesale merchants, but they were not discussing the sub ject of jute bagging, as every Athens merchant has resolved to stand firmly by r the farmers and their fight. We at onee introduced the subject by asking Mr. Wheeler the latest news from the seat of war onTiis side—was be selling much jute bagging in Geor gia? ‘1 do not not think I have sold a roll in your State myself,” was the reply, “but my firm lias received orders that are hold-loeks for future shipment. I am not trying to sell my bagging to the Georgia merchants, for to talk jute about this time would he like striking a match in a powder magazine. I am simply traveling through tlie cotton States, on a tour of inspection.” Are your jute manufactures not sell ing any bagging then?” Ob, yes, we feel no fear but that we will sell as much as usual, or all we can make. We have already placed orders in Texas for enough of our bagging to bale three-fourths the crop of that State, while all the large cotton planters in tlie Mississippi valley are ordering jute. You see there is a difference of fully one dollar per bale to the planter in favor of jute over cotton bagging, and the big planters cannot afford to lose this. Be sides, in the West there are not so many mills convenient at hand, where infe rior beled cotton can find ready sale and be successfully used.” “Are there not many Alliancemen, then,out West?” Oh, yes, a great many, and they are pretty strong in Texas; but they do not carry their opposition to jute bag ging so as to makt! a financial saenfTC? io forget it. While a mate raising fifty or a hundred bales of cotton can afford to make the sacrifice necessary to use cotton bagging, the farmer who grows his thousands of bales is not so patri otic.” “You think, then that the Georgia farmers will stand by these colors aud fight the battle to the end?” “Yes, l do,” replied 31r. Wheeler, as will also many planters in the other Eastern cotton States, but it will not materially effect the jute bagging man ufacturers, as we will supply bagging for their cotton all the same.” “How so?” we asked. “This year the cotton crop will exceed 8,000.000 bales. I have traveled all over the South, and never saw such prospects in my life. Out .West, it is not a ques tion how much cotton the farmers will make, bnt what they can gather. The NO MAN S LAND. One Hundred Aeres in Carroll Comily Looking for an Owner. Special to The B:>nner. Atlanta, August 17.—In Carroll count}' there is a tract of land for which no owner can he found. The tract, em braces ninety-four and one-half aeres'of land a mips a fractional part of land lot No. 107 in tlie ninth district of the county. When the land in this section was given out or sold about 1821, this strip, whoh is next to the Alabama line, was left untaken. For some unexplained reason this land has remained unoccupied, and no notice has been taken of it until within the last two weeks. About a dozen people from Carroll county have been into tho secretary of state’s office asking about the land, and one of them offered 31 r. Ben Davis, one of the clerks, one hundred dollars if lie con’d find any record of its being given or sold. The record could not be found, so the secretary cf state, will order tlie sheriff to sell the land at public outcry to the highest bidder. Land in this section is worth about ten dollars an aero, but it is thought gold has been discovered on this strip which accounts for the anxiety of so many to find traces of its being sold. Tare on Cotton. Sp eclat to the Banner. Atlanta, Ga., August 17.—Judge John T. Henderson, Georgia’s Com missioner of Agriculture, has returned from New York, where lie went as a member of the committee from agricul tural commissioners of tlie South to confer with the cotton exchange as to tlie tare on cotton wrapped iu cotton bagging. With Judge Henderson were Messrs, nooil, of Tennessee; Butler, of South Carolina, and Chonoy, of Alabama. The New York cotton exchange passed strong resolutions iu favor of the position taken by the Southern planters and recommended Liverpool to grant a reduction on tare on account of cotton covering for the staple. The action of the New Orleans board was read in the presence of the. South erner.' Thfe New Orleans exchange met successfully all opposition from the exchange in Liverpool. Judge Henderson thinks tlie English exchange will be forced to grant a re duction in cotton tare. Regulators Arrested. Special to The Banner New Orleans, August 17.—Tlie Pic ayune’s special from Opelousas says: Sheriff Fontenel returned from Conic’s Crochet with ten persons charged with the shooting of Mr. Duplechein by reg ulators.

Planters will probably go so far as to use some osna- burgs and other utterly worthless bale- ing. . When this cotton is received by the compresses on the seaboard, it will at once be stripped of this covering and jute bagging substituted.. The com presses will then reap the difference in stead of the planter, to whom this extra weight rightfully belongs.
