| Both Republican factions held caucus.
SEES in different parts Of the city last night,
and very likely decided upon some plan by
which each hopes to annihilate the other, in
the convention to-day. There was no abate-
ment OF the feeling between the two factions
yesterday, and there is no probability Of a
compromise, on any terms, or 10 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 i'll interior cities, when the
floods are out, always turn sympathizing
eye too little city, and pity Cairo" 1t
probably always will be 50, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Cairo suffers less from
floods than any other place. After the ex.
perience OF Louisville, New Albany, Chat
tanooga and other river towns, comes In
dlanapolis, Paxton and inland cities, and
last, the mountain city of Denver a few
days ago was flooded, from the little streams
around it, and more lives lost in one night
from water, than in Cairo tor years.
News received from the county yester-
day, is to the effect that perhaps the most
damage done there by the recent STORM, is
on Circuit Clerk Twins farm, about sixteen
mics from here. The farm is we'll cutiva-
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 the 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 intimated their intention, in the event
of their admission to the convention, to vote
for "whom they may please" That they
have a perfect right to do so none can deny;
but where they will dare to be men in the
presence of their masters remains to be
seen.
The English sparrOws are every day
becoming more unpopular. A gentleman
near Mt. Vernon had twenty acres in wheat
from which he expected fourth of a crop,
the heads having every appearance of prom
Using such yield. He resolved to cut it
for seed, and sent some persons to gather it.
They returned soon after and report that
there was not grain of wheat in the field,
the sparrows having eaten the entire crop.
One man in this county, it is said, furnishes
boys with all the ammunition they want
ifthcy will use it in killing sparrows, and
the most expert young sporsmen gets
sauce of ice cream.
"A coored man, having deciphered the
item IN Granny Argus, of Tuesday, in re-
gard to fish in the sipe water, constituted
himself an exploring expedition of one to
learn the mysteries spoken of in said item,
and yesterday he proclaimed, and avcrred
positively, that he saw great "sea sar-
pint" in Edwards lake, measuring sbout
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 ingress and egress of
