| Special 90 the chronicle.
SENATE-A message was read
from. Gov. Marks suggesting to the
Legislature that in case their views
prove irreconcilable; to take steps to
call a Constitutional Convention.
The Governor states that the ques-
ton should be removed from politics
as soon as possible, and that the
Convention, being a single body,
would certainly arrive at a conclu-
sion which would finally and decis~
lively settle the question. The cost
of the Convention, he thinks, would
not be more than that of an extra
session.
The following House bills passed
third reading:
To change the line of James and
Bradley counties; to declare Clinch
River navigable; to allow women to
give testimony in the protection of
property, character and person; to
amend the act to establish and main
tain the public school system; to
prevent County Courts from using
money to build bridges over public
roads to regulate and 7equalize the
salaries of certain officers.
The bill to refund the dog tax
was reconsidered, and failed to pass
for a constitutional majority.
HoUsE-The day was spent in
discussing the State debt, speeches
being made by Messrs. Beasley,
Lester and Rourke.
The following dispatch was re-
ceived to-day: "New York, Hon.
II. M. Wiltse: The Bondholders
Committee have no power or au-
thority to make any proposition
other than that already made"

NEW YORK.

New YORK, March 26.-The

Among the many actors and &C
tresses present were, Sara Jewett,
Maude Granger, General George
Roome, John Gilbert, Miss Agnes
Booth, Miss Maude Harrison, Col.
Sim Steele MacRaye and Frank
Mayo. The body was en-
closed with floral emblem.
The funeral services of the
Episcopal Church, were read by
Rev. DR.. Hougnton and his son,
who is assistant minister Of the
church, and the musical portion was
rendered by the church choir of the
Pinafore Company. Mrs. Baker,
the mother of the dead actor, her
daughter and the vile of the de-
ceased, were present. The pail
bearers were Messrs. A. L. Roberts,
VIM. Thompson, Francis Evans,
James Barnes, Charles Furnish and
Lewis Baker. No sermon was
preached, but after the services the
congregation viewed the re-
mains through the glass plate
at the head of the cas-
ket. The body was taken to
Evergreen Cemetery and inferred
in a plot of ground adjoining the
burial place of the Elks Brother
hood.

sheriffs have been looking for him
for several days past. One
suit against Mr.. Belden is
brought by General T. T.
Eckert to recover $4,000
which he deposited with the firm,
and which he alleges they converted
to their own use. Bail was fixed in
this case at $4,000. The other is
a suit by Henry Haas for $780,
600 damages for alleged false i'm
prisonment. Bail in this case was
fixed at 100000. Belden, accom-
panied by several friends from Wall

required, his bondsmen justifying in
double that amount, or $50, 900.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, March ga CORE
spondent of the Times, dated
Arment, Upper Egypt, Feb. Oath,
gives heart-rendering account of
the condition of the population of
the Nile Valley. The scenes de-
scribed resemble those in India dur
ing the recent famine. In some
villages the people are past help,
sitting naked like wild beasts, eating
roots and suffering with endurance
of despair. Madness, worked on
by famine, stamps such brand on
the starving fellahs as can not be
easily described. In one town
women and children fought over
scraps of bread like wild animals:
The case is believed to be still
worse in the inland hamlets, where
the villagers are said to be star wing
like dogs.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Th,
Senate Committee to inquire int
the alleged frauds in the late cleo
tions met this morning. The Chair
man offered in evidence the statute
relating to political assessments
and the Presidents order of June.
1877, on the same subject.
Geo. G. Gorham, late Secretary
of the Senate, was sworn and ex.
amined as to his connection with
raising money during the Congress.
sional campaign of '78. He said
about $685. 900 in all was raised for
the Republican campaign purposes,
of which $4,000 came from the
Federal officials and employees of all
grades, the remainder being derived
from friends of the party not hold
ing Office. Of the $4,000, per
haps $4,000 or $4,000 came from
the Senators and Representatives.
No assessment was made. The Con-
tributions in all cases were volun-
tary.
In reply to Senator Mcdonald,
tie witness stated that no contribu-
tions were asked for from National
Banks, as such canvass among the
wealthy friends of the cause in New
York city resulted in obtaining about
$4,000 There may have been
some bankers among those contrib
ting. No lady employees of the
Government were asked to subscribe,
but some refused to be excepted and
insisted on contributing. Of the
100000, $4,000 was expended for
documents, including postage, ETC.,
about $4,000 paid the employees of
the committee, and about $4,000
expended for furniture and general
expenses. This left $4,000, of
which SOD, 900 was sent to different
States, and 81, 500 paid to speakers
for their expenses. OF tho balance
of $4,000, 5000 was lost by the
failure of the German~American Ma
tional Bank, and $500 remains on
hand. A subcommittee Of five, con-
sisting of Messrs. Wallace, Garland,
Mcdonald, Hoar and Cameron, was
appointed to visit Philadelphia and
take testimony there Friday and
Saturday.
The President sent the following
to the Senate to-day !:
Andrew D. White, New York, to be
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to Germany; Cor
nelius A. Logan, of Illinois, to be
Minister Resident to the Central
American States.
The Senate made no confrma-
