TERRY's FATE.

the chief subject of interest in the
papers of the Pacific slope, and
many of those of New York during
the week, and has reached more
than "nine days" notoriety. News
of the shooting of ex-Judge Terry
was received with intense interest
in New York by thousands of peo-
pie. Among lawyers especially
was the story discussed. 1t is al
most safe to say that the legal fra
ternity of New York sympathize
with Justice Field, and look upon
the taking off of his ferocious an

Senator VOORHEES, heartily sustains
Attorney-General Miller in what he
did to protect Judge Field. He be-

Fields life was threatened by so
desperate man as Terry, it was
eminently proper tor the attorney
general to see to it that no harm
came to him while in the discharge
of his duty. Cyrus W. Field, Gen
eral Sherman and many other en-
inent men, concur with Senator
VOORHEES, in this opinion. The su-
preme court of California, of which
the late David S. Terry was form.
erly chief-justice, refused to adjourn
out of respect to Terry's memory,
The decision was announced from
the bench, and the reasons given
were that Terry resigned his official
position to fight duel, and that he
was killed while in the act of as.
saulting Justice of the United
States Supreme Court.
