THE delegates present at the State
Convention, informs us that Hon. W. G..
Donnan, of this city, was selected to
formally announce the name of Mr..
Sherman to the Convention as candidate
for Governor, and further that his
speech on that occasion, though entire
ly impromptu, was really one of the best
spoken during the session; admirable in
tone and temper and eloquently ex-
pressed. 1t was interrupted and follow
ed by the most enthusiastic applause, a
demonstration of approval and endorse
ment, not equaled by that accorded the
set and prepared speech of DIR. Boards
ley in behalf of Mr.. Gear. 1t was at
once tribute to the excellence of the
effort, and an indication of the real SEN
timent of the convention, respecting the
candidates; sentiment stifed on the
first ballot by previous pledges and
promises to Mr. Gear, in response to
repeated opportunities and the most
persistent Office begging.

man, whose lectures in other places
have elected favorable notices from the

purpose of delivering his lecture upon
life in China. He rented the Opera
House, got out bills and did what was
deemed necessary to advertise his pur
pose but when the night came, scarcely
twenty persons were found in the house
and the illustrious celestial refused very
properly, to speak. We regret that our

tertainments of this kind and are con-
WINGED that they missed treat on this
occasion. Wong Chin Foo has the APP

LET US HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING.
We are in receipt of communication,
the purport of which is that some of the
firemen-we presume members of the
Steamer Co. are meant-are viciOusly
inclined toward us, and are making
threats of personal violence on account
of the position we have chosen to take
in these columns, relative to the remov-
al of the fire apparatus from the city at
time when it is especially needed as
protection from possible fire. We have
heard from other sources of these
threats, and while we are disposed to re-
gard them as mere windy buster, not
worthy of notice, we embrace this occa-
sion to say to the parties who utter
them, and all others who are inclined to
resort to ruffianism to suppress utter
ances not in consOnance with their
views, that we do not propose to be thus
intimidated While we are careful not
to do injustice to anybody, we propose
to discuss fully and freely all matters
of public interest; to criticise the acts
of public servants when criticism is nee
essary, and to condemn when in our
opinion the public good requires it; in 9th
er words, to make use Of all the legiti
mate functions of the press, without
fear favor or affection. We propose to
do this whether one or a thousand take
exceptions to it, and if any man or any
company of men propose to take issue
with this position, and to oppose argu-
ment with violence of any sort, we will
simply say to them that the ball cannot
open too early If buster and brayado
are to silence the press or overawe Off
Gals, the sooner we know it the better.

A Big Snake,

The citizens of New Boston, ILL.,, left
their business yesterday and turned out
in force to capture large serpent that
was seen about mile east of the town
The reports as to the size of the snake
differ little. The first man who dis
covered it didn't wait to examine it very
closely, but his opinion is that it was
about sixty feet long. Quite a number
of others have seen it, and two young
men shot at it, not hurting it very
much. The opinion Of the majority OF
those who have seen it is that the snake
is about thirty feet long and twelve
inches thick. Our informant, the en-
gineer of the Gussy Girdon, measured
the track the snake made in the sand
after it was shot at and was running
away The track measured just twelve
and one-half inches. The color of the
snake is black on the top and brown on
the sides. Some very large snakes were
seen on the islands north of this city
few years ago by citizens of this town Of
undoubted veracity, but this one near
New Boston gets away with them all
