TRAGIC AFFAIR AT MONTICELLO, GA
The Atlanta Constitution says that one Of
those tragic rencOunters has occurred at
Monticello, Georgia. that calls to mind
the dark and bloody days of wild from
tier life, where human passions rage un-
regulated by law, and personal difficul
ties find moro ready settlement by the
terce arbitrament Of arms than before
tho slow aud circuitous tribunals of JUS
tice. We have au account of the affair,
received from private sources, that is by
no means as clroumstanliul and certain
aa We should like to give. but it is un-
donbtedly close approximation to the
truth.
The dispute had previously originated
about the hire of a negro. The parties
were Clinton Digby and brother on the
one side, and Seaborn Kelley and two
brothers on the other-nll farmers.
They met in Monticello on tho 7th inst,
at the election of ordinary. The dispute
revived between Clinton Digby's brother
and the three Kellcys. Young Digby
drew his pistol, but before he conid use
it, one Of the Kelleys seized his arm and
held it up while the other two Kelleys
pounded away in sledge- hammer fashion
on Digby. At this junoture Clinton
Digby came up to the assistance OF his
over-powered brother. AS he approach
ed one OF the Kelleys shot him in the
leg. Nothing daunted. he fired, killing
the Kelley who held his brother; then
reeling quickly, he shot another OF the
Kelieys, who died in about an hour.
Thon mounting horse he rode furiously
over fences and through the woods, and
made his escape.
1t was quick. sudden. desperate rem
counter. as tragic in its results US fierce
in its character.

of his companion and friend, Charles

that the boys were bird-hunting, having
only one gun between them. which they
shot alternately The gun was in the
hands OF Willard when bird was dis
covered by the boy Allen. who wished to
shoot it. Willard also wished to shoot,
and refused to give up the gun. when u
tustle enaued. The gun was thrown
across Wizards shoulder, with tho muz.
zle pointing behind him. Allen grabbed
the gun. behind Willard, resting it upon
his shoulder, also, and. in pulling It. it
went of, sending the whole load into

The New York Euening Post. fguers
out pretty close work for the political
parties next fall. Grants popular ma
iority in 1868. was about 800, 900, in
total vote Of 6. 7eo. coo. end four South
ern States were then not allowed to vote.
The total vote of the country at the Oon-
gress elections was about $500, 600, aud
the Republican majority was about 4O,-
600. When these elections were held
the Democrats had gained several States
which had been carried for Grant in
1868. The Post aruges that il coali-
tion takes place between the Democrats,
the Labor Rsformers and the Republi-
can boilers, the chances will be very
much in favor of their suocese. It sets
down lis electoral votes as sure Tor
Grant, 104 as sure for the coalition, and
1873 as doubtful. Among tho doubtful
States are New York, Ohio and Penn nsyl-
vania. but tho Pos! says that change
Of only 25. 900 votes in these three States,
which cast 1.8O0.O 900 votes, is required
to carry eighty-four electoral votes
against the Administration and ensure
its defeat. Of course this "6gnring up"
is easy enough at any time, bnt we would
not he at all surprised to find that the
Posts figures are very near correct.

MEETING OF LUMBER MERCHANTS. There
was conference of lumber dealers at the Fall
mouth House last evening, to take into consid-
GRAFTON the matter of he additional tariff on
lumber recently imposed by the Grand Trunk
Railroad Company. 1t seems that that eorpo-
ration have revived an obsolete tariff that was
applicable only to transient freight, and are
imposing it upon some of the heaviest lumber
dealers of Portland. The increase is from eight
to ten dollars car, and amounts to an abso-
lutte prohibition. At the conference general
expression of sentiment on the part of those
dealers and manufacturers present took place,
and it was decidedly hostile to the increase in
rates, the opinion being advanced that the in
crease was death-blowi to the lumber in
terest in this city. A committee, consisting
of Messrs. Pitcher and Hamlin, of this city,
and Mr.. Hobson, of Island Pond, was raised
to proceed to Montreal and state the case to
Mr.. C. j. Bridges, general manager of the
road, who will undoubtedly see that an equit-
able reduction is made. +s1-
