During the past week large number OF
bills have been introduced, both in the Senate
and in the House, bat as the holding of Con-
| stitutioual Convention has been ally;decided
| on, it is not probable that any of them will
pass.
In the election of Senator to succeed Senator
Eustis, very little progress appears 80 far to
have been made. In the Democratic caucus,
where the contest is to be practically decided,
Messrs. Kenner, Eustis and Jonas are the
leading candidates, each receiving o vote Of
from twenty to thirty on every ballot. 1t is
thought possible by many that either Cav.
Nichols or Judge Spencer, Of the Supreme
Court, will be brought out at the last hour and
nominated by the necessary two. thirds ma
jority (52 votss) of the CAUCUS.

Death of Mr.. Thomas Byrnes,

With sudden and painful shock to hi
many friends came the announcement of tn,
death OF this most estimable young gentleman
last Wednesday morning. Though he mac
been IN we'll for some weeks his condition was
not such as TO cause much apprehension to hit
family, aud the fact that he was able to visit
| his store on Monday seemed to indicate ,tha
| his lrdisposition wac nc of q serious character
Hence the sad news of his death on Wednes
| day morning, from congestion of the brain, was
rendered all the more cad because it wes 30
| totally unexpected.
Mr.. Bgrnes was q native OF County CavAr,
| Ireland, and was in the thirty-fourth year of
| his age. In 1549 his family came to this city
| where his father some years sfterward died,
! leaving naught but the precious legacy Of an
| honored name to the loved ones of his hoase-
hold. Thus in early youth did the subject of
this short notice find himself the sole reliance
and support of his widowed mother; the guide
and protector of his fatherless sisters. True to
every duty, with manly dignity that COM
manded respect and an afectionats solioitude
for the peace and comfort of these confded to
his care that secured for him universal admi-
ration, he steadily won his way in the CONNER
cial world.
Some seven years ego he engaged in the
Western Produce business, and soon became
known as one of the most reliable m erch ants of
our city. To bis excellent Judgment and liberal
management are principally due the extensive
business and high standing both here and in
the West of the firm Of Byrnes 6, Bro W ioh he
founded and of which his younger brother,
Mr.. VIM. Il. Byrnes, is the junior partner.
At all times the unfailiug and liberal friend
of the poor, during the recent epidemic Mr..
Byrnes proved untiring in his exertions in
their behalf Night and day was he laboring
in their service. giving literally of his own |
means and securing from the charity of others |
relief for the large number of deserving fami. |
lies whom he knew, by personal visits, or
through reliable persons, to DO suffering from
she scourge. Long will the memory of his
name be cherished by the poor in his neighbor.
hood as that of the friend who ever stood
ready to assist and comfort them in times of
need and sorrow.
The funeral took place Tnursdsy evening at
O'Clock from the family residence, 424 Com.
mon street. Rev. Peter O'Neil, en-, of Saint
Joseph's Church, cffi,isted, assisted by Very
Rev. T. j. Smith, C.M. of the same Church, and
Rev, Fathers Begley aud Downey, ST., of the
Churoh of the Immaculate Conception. AtSt.
Toseph's Church, which was draped in mourn-
ng, t1e usual solemn ceremonies took place
nd thence the remains, followed by one of the
Srgest funeral professions ever seen in this s
ity, were transferred to the family tomb in St. e
'Atrick's Cemetery.
