NASHVILLE, Tenn, December ia let
ter dated yesterday, from Bloomington,
Putnam county, says In a fight, twelve
miles east Of Cooksville, between the
Welshs and Captain James Davis, United
States Deputy Collector, and United States
Commissioner G.. w. Campbell, Davis was
killed and Campbell beaten nearly to death.
A letter from Cooksville, December 9th,
dictated by Campbell to Collector Wood
cock, says Davis and / were attacked by
Lees in the east end of Putnam county to-
day. We had seized a lot Of brandy, when
we were attacked by the party. Davis had
ordered me to issue a writ for Ihomas
Welsh, and / sat down on a wood pile to
issue the writ, when Lees hit me with my
gun, which he broke over my head, knock
ing me down. When / got up, Davis was
| down with his feet on a log, as IL he were
dead. / helped him into Jackson Lees
house. About this time | saw two men
coming up with guns. Itook hold of Da-
Wis and said Lets go away" We were
both without arms. Davis was added,
and did not seem to know what had hap
pened. We had gone about a hundred
yards from Lees house, when a gun was
fired about fifty yards from us. Davis
fell, and cried, "Oh, Lord. George |" I
moved on, thinking the next shot would
be mine. / reached Cooksville at 10 P. NJ,
and am now having my wounds dressed.
| am severely cut and bruised on the head,
| but will go back tonight with Sheriff H. J.
Branner, Of Putnam county, with a war;
rant for the arrest of Alexander Welsh.
| Will write you particulars tomorrow. 1
fear to learn the reality. Myself and
| Squire Thomas Welsh were in a fight when
Alexander. Welsh knocked me down with
my own gun.
LArER--A Lebanon special reports that
Captain Davis is not dead, as reported.
Result of an Old Grudge.
DAVENPORT, December ia horrible
murder occurred ON Saturday night, three
| miles from Colona Station, on the Chicago,
| Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, % miles
east Of Davenport. At an early hour the
next morning Thomas Dilley, a wealthy
farmer and an old resident, was found
dead in his bed, his skull crushed in, and
his face and body horribly disfgured. Be-
| side him was his wife, unconscious, and
probably fatally injured by blows about
the head, inflicted by some sharp instru-
ment. A short distance from the house,
| a spade, battered and bloody, was discoy-
cred. 1t had evidently been the instru-
ment of death. There was quite a large
| sum of money in the house which vas not
| touched. 1t is believed that an old grudge
| and a lawsuit, in which Dilley came out
ahead, we're the causes of the deed. Two
young. men, Clement and Albert Gallian,
are suspected. The police are on their
track.
To the Aldermen that Did Not Vote
for Kelly.
NEW YORK, December 13.-The Evening
Express (Tammany) thus speaks to the
Tammany Aldermen who on Friday turned
traitors and voted with the Republicans
and anti-Tammany Aldermen:
To Bernard Goodwin, Robert Foster,
Frederick Helbing and Henry Hoffen-
Sirs You were elected Aldermen by the
votes Of honest Democrats, who believed
in your professions and trusted in your
honor. You were elected as members OF
the Tammany Democracy of this city, in
the belief that you would carry out in
good faith the pledges given before your
nomination. You have betrayed your
trust, repudiated your professions, turned
traitors to the people who elected you, and
branded yourselves as utterly without
principle, honor or manliness. You have
sold yourselves cheap-very cheap for the
disgrace and infamy Of your conduct will
stick to your names while you live, and
will attach to your children. A grave was
dug for you, and you lay down in it,
There is no resurrection for men who have
damned themselves. The parties whose
abject tools you willingly became will moi
trust you, and have no further use for you.
All honest men despise you. Judas went
out and hung himself after he had got his
thirty pieces Of silver. You need not hang
yourselves you are already worse thar
gibbeted. The brand set on Cain was
harder to carry than death. Live and en-.
Joy the price Of your treason if you can
but If you live to the age Of Methusaleh
you will never outlive the crime Of which
you yesterday convicted yourselves.
