Iauni6cpnt sum Of one hundred thousand dollars,
to be applied to this lhudablc enterprise. The pa

lie has wisely made the donation now, and IL is
placed at the disposal Of the trustees whenever
they are ready to use it, We learn, that in conse-
qur"ce Of this act, The trustees have determined
to call the institution the Lind University. The
only condition prescribed by Mr.. Lind in s..s4ing
he grant Is, TIL 81 1000 shall be used Tor the

The Conventions.

We head our columns, this week, with
the full district and county ticket, and
We take great pleasure in referring TO
the spirit which was manifested in all
the Conventions which put the ticket in
nomination.
The Judicial Convention came first ir
order, and our esteemed fellow citizen,
B. F. HOFFMAN, was nominated upon
the first ballot. The people of the judi
cial district had settled upon him as
their first choice, with great unanimity,
and his nomination has been everywhere
hailed as n eminently fit to be made.
His long experience in legal practice,
acknowledged ability, and well-knewn
industry and integrity. give assurance
that the people will find in him a most
just and upright Judge.
At the County Convention, business
was disposed of with similar speed, two
of the nominees being chosen by accla-
nation.
In the Congressional Convention the
same spirit prevailed. 1t was evident
before the Convention assembled, that
the people of the district regarded it
their duty to return to his seat the vete
ran who has so long and so ably borne
the brunt of the anti-slavery party in
Congress, unless he should peremptorily
decline. They looked to the wishes of
the Republicans throughout the Union,
and acted with high national motives.
The other candidates for the nomina-
ton were filed with the same patriotic
spirit, and al an early moment in the
Convention, Mr.. Hutchins lead off in a
very neat and happy speech, in which
he recognized the wishes of The people
Of the district, and declared, hat in his
opinion, it was the duty of the Conven-
ton to nominate Mr.. Giddings unani-
mously; he, therefore, withdrew his
name from the list of candidates for
nomination.
Mr.. Sutliff, and Mr.. Tayler followed
in similar speeches of declination, and a
motion to nominate by reclamation be-
ing made, the Convention rose and NOM
mated the old war-horse by three rous.
ing cheers.
Messrs. Hutchins, Sutliff, and Beaver
were called out, and each responded
with soul stirring speeches. The Re-
publicans of the district have no little
reason to be proud of the spirit which
was manifested in all these Conventions.
is usually the case that the party
which is in a majority is ~reproached by
its opponents for the number of anxious
candidates for office which come before
its conventions but the Republican
party has shown SO noble and patriotic
spirit, that it must compel the admira-
ton of every candid opponent. The
members of the party have merged
every private consideration in the sue
cess of the cause, and have shown that
their only desire is 10 make free piinci-
pies triumphant.
Never was a campaign so auspiciously
commenced. Never did a cause enter
the field with so united a band of de-
Tenders; and We risk nothing in predict
ing that the victory gained will be as
gloriously triumphant as the commence
ment is promising.

FAIR PLAY.
Great Storm, and Loss Of Life.

New ORLEANS, Aug. IA.
A terrible storm occurred in this VI
cinity on Sunday. 1t lasted all day, and
also, all Monday. Its effects, however,
were most disastrous at Glass Island, a
great summer resort. Our accounts
represent it to have been entirely mum
dated. Every building on the Island is
said to have been swept away, and no
less than 1877 lives are reported to have
beer lost.
The steamer Star, Captain Smith, left
here on the 9TH ult., with a large num-
Der of passengers encountered the
storm before reaching Glass Island, and
became completely unmanageable, and
soon after vas a perfect wreck. The
scene among the passengers was terrific,
there being no less than $50 persons
clinging to the wrecked fragments of the
vessel, each anxiously awaiting the ar
rival Of some vessel 10 take them off. -
Whether any of the company have been
lost is not yet known, although hopes
are entertained that all were saved, as a
steamer is understood to have zone to
their relief.
Gallon Island has also been sub
merged, but the o ale very
meagre.
1t is reported, however, that an i'm,
mense amount of property and many
lives have been lost
The ships Bowditch and E~llsler, as
also the brig Creole, which we've lying
near The mouth of the river, have all
been seriously damaged by the storm.
On the lake and river, we also hear
of numerous steamers, fiat boats, and
other crafts, being injured.
Nearly all the whalves at the water
ing places have been inundated, and the
buildings thereon, bath houses, DC,
swept away.
Altogether the less of property must
be very heavy, but ii is impossible now
to calculate the amount. The crops it is
feared have also suffered severely.
The steamship Philadelphia, just ar
rived from New York, via Havana,
escaped the storm and is now lying
safely at quarantine, with all well on
board.

MURDER Saturday evening, 10th
inst, about 6 O'Clock, an affray took
place on the west side, in which one
Rodolphus Streeter, an Irishman, was
killed. The circumstances, as near as
we can learn, are as follows: Charles
Davis, born in England, of Irish parents
who keeps a saloon on River street, in
passing by the residence of Streeter,
threw an apple against the window
breaking the glass. When Streeter
come out, Davis desired to know the
amount of damage done. Streeter re-
piled, FIVE cents, when Davis, with an
other apple, struck him in the face, and
then kicked him in the stomach until he
fell down, and then trod on him, from
the effects of which he died in a few
minutes. Davis was intoxicated at the
time. He was arrested soon after the
ARRAY, and after being brought to the
prison, said, when informed that Street.
er was dead, that he supposed, then, that
he would have to go down to Columbus
about seven years, but he did not care
a id /; he would willingly serve
seven years in the ~penitentiary for every
Dutchman he could kill.
The affair undoubtedly grew out of
the effects of bad whisky C2ey. Dealer.
