THE CITY ACCOUNTS.
Opedyke, president Of the chamber OF
commerce, to-day replied TO Mayor Hall s
letter, asking that committee be appoint
ed 20 examine the city accounts. Opedyke
informs the mayor that the presiding Off
Ger Of the chambe. Of commerce has no
power to convene a special meeting unless
requested to do SO by at least one memb Der;
he adds that SO far Is he has been able TO
ascertain no ton members Of the chamber
could be found who would sign their
names to such request. An exact state
ment Of the finances can, in his opinion,
be prepared more easily in the comptrol-
lers Office by tho clerks employed
there than by any committee appointed by
the chamber. Owing 10 the Absence of

lieve that q 81 tiiciently large number could
be convened to form committee whose de-
cision could bo accepted - the sentiment
Of the chamber.
The above reasons, Opedykc thinks,
justifes him in declining to make per-
sonal effort towards appointing special
committee as demadded by the Mayor.
He,therefore, declines to interfere.

THE FAMINE IN PERsIA.--The
stories Of the Persian famine, result
ing from long drouth and crop fail
uro last year, are terrible. The peo-
pie are literally dying of hunger in
the streets of Teheran. In Khoras-
san, parents are selling their chill
dren as slaves to the Turcomans in
order to keep them alive, and in
Ispahan, as is said, men have been
seized in the act Of digging up
cospsos to serve as food for their
starving families. In Shiraz-Ker-
man and Yezd the wretched fami-
lies cndeayor to support life on the
grass and roots which they may find
in the neighborhood, and, as might
be expected, pestilence follows hard
on the footsteps of famine; between
them, the half of the kingdom of
Persia is being rapidly depopula-
