scs in different parts of the city last night,
and very likely decided upon some plan by
which each hopes to anuihilate the other, in
the convention to day. There was no abate-
mcnt Of the feeling between the two factions
| yesterday, and there is NO probability Of "A
compromise, on any terms, or to any eX.
tent, whatever. Both are equally confident
OF success, but one or the other will only
feel the more deeply the defeat which Is
certain to come to one Of them to day.
People in interior cities, when the

eye to our little oily, aud "pity Cairo 1t

ing the fact that Cairo suffers less from
floods than any other place, After the eX
pcrience Of Louisville, New Albany Chat
tanooga and other river towns, comes In
dianspolls, Paxton and inland cities, and
last, the mountain city Of Denver, few
days ago was flooded, from the little streams
around it, aud more lives lost in one night
from water, than IN Cairo Tor years.
News received from the county yc5ter-
day, is to the effect that perhaps the most
damage done there by the recent storm, is
on Circuit Clerk Twins farm about sixteen
miles from here The farm is well cultiva-
ted and the crops were standing finely, but
the great number of large trees, some of
them four or five feet in diameter, which
were blown down, and whose branches
spread over large patches, played sad havoc
with the crop. 1t will require much work
70 clear the farm of fallen timber and this,
together with the value of the ruined crop,
will probably cost about five hundred dol
lars.
Several Of the delegates selected by
the DamrOn factions in tie First and Sec
ond precincts recognizing the facts that
they are entirely at liberty to vote for
whom they may please in the county con-
vention to-day, as they were not instructed,
and recognizing also that their selection
was not in strict accordance with the rules
laid down in cushing and in good sense,
have intmated their intention, in the event
Of their admission to the convention, to vote
for "whom they may please" That they
have perfect right to do 80 none can deny;
| but where they will dare to be men in the
presence of their masters remains to be
seen.

A colored man, having deciplpSd the
item IN Granny Argus, on Tuesday, in re-
gard to fish in the sipe water, constituted
himself an exploring expedfwvn of one to
learn the mysteries spoken of in said item,
aud yesterday he proclaimed, and avgrcd
positively, that he saw great "sea sar-
pint in Edwards lake, measuring about
twelve feet in length and one in diameter
We wouldn't have believed it, but in view
Of such startling facts, SO strongly verified,
we must admit with the old lady that "the
committee appointed by the mayor has
indeed big contract on hand in merely
tracing the means of iDgress and cgress OF
these monsters.
