LIS s spiscn OF WELOOMI A nkoso DKLKJATS'S ID1A8 MB POWDBBLY's KKMARK8. Richmosd, Oct 4 The tappine of master workman- T. V. Powderly's gavel at 10.15 o'clock this morning gave the signal for the opening of the tenth aonnal convention of the Knights of Labor, in the armory of the First Virginia regiment. He stood alone upon a small pine platform at the fur ther end of the spacious room and looked upon the faces of a thousand delegates, assembled from every part of this oountry, representatives of a million of men and women.- White and black faoes; faces of men and women bound together by a common objoot, met his view. The session was to be an open one and in addition to the large body of delegates were as many others not of the order as could get seats or shared what little standing room there was with its members. The large room looked like ah immense banqueting hall, with tables formed cf plain pine boar dp, nearly the length of the room, in rows as close together as the possibility of moving between them would permit. On either side of these tables were seated the delegates. Neither flags nor stream ers broke the severe simplicity of the whitewashed brick walls and the un broken white paint of the arched ceil ing. The only things that even hinted at a decorative purpose were the litho graph portraits of master workman Powderly and general secretary Turner .that hung on either side of the room. While the 'sound of the master work man's gavel still re-echoed, footsteps Were heard approaching the entrance doors and a moment later Gov. FitzLugh Lee, of Virginia, entered. As he walked up the central able leading to th9 platform, escorted by William H. Mullen, master workman of the Rich mond district, and Tom O'Reilly, of t e telegraph operators' assembly, of New York-xity, the Governor was greeted witu enthusiasm, which re doubled as lie stood on the platform, bowing in response to this greeting. When the applause had subsided and Mr.' Mullen bad presented Gov Lee to Mr. Powderly, the latter stepped for ward and introduoed him to the mem bers, announcing that Gov. Lie was to deliver to them an address of welcome and through, them to those they represented throughout; the entire country. When the applause that again broke forth at the mention of his name permitted him to 4do so, Gov. Lee said: "Fellow j oificDt: I am here this morning in re sponse to an invitation from a committee of the Knights cf Labor of Richmond, for the purpose of uniting with them in meeting and greeting citiaens from other States, who come within the gates of this commonwealth to confer with a portion of her people, a conference which we earnestly hope will be productive of the greatest benefit to all concerned. We are always glad to welcome strangers within our walls, glad to extend to them the hospitality for which Virginia's capital has been so widely known in the past, glad that an opportunity is afforded for them to meet our eitisens nee to face and to see this beautiful city and test our genial climate. Formerly, as one of Richmond's most eloquent divines has said, loyalty to a king was a nobler filing than loyalty to a constitution. Men are acknowl edging now no master but equitable law, giving allegiance to principles rather than to princes. Freedom de velops its truest manhood and patri otism attains its noblest growth under a government aptly defined as 'of the people, by the people and for the peo ple.' And now what part are the rep resentatives of the assemblies of Knights 01 Libor going to play in bringing pros perity and peace to this republio r W hat bitot, have they in view and what plar? do they propose to unfold to the futurt'i The million of men who axe it tbe Knights of Labor, says Mr. Pow derly, (whom I am glad to see and meet here this morning), 'are studying the science of governrxu nt. ' 8urely we are all interested in that. One of Virginia's greatest statesmen has said : 'it is proper that you should understand what I deem the essential principles of gov ernment.' What were the principles of government laid down by this wise men ( lbey were 'equal and exact justice to ail men, of whatever persua sion, religious or political.' Fly from the fluttering folds of your flg that sentence and the ground on which you march will always be strong and firm. Wc are told, gentlemen, that the organ ization you represent is formed to elevate aad protect the rights of the: working cla&es. Why, who are interfering with joar rights and who tramples upon y ur privileges as Amenoaa citizonB 1 tl-gatrzed capital, do I hear? Against that is war declared 1 Will it be 'war to the knife and the knife to the hilt,' or will there be a peaceful issue .to the coD.flctf Which, in your opinion, is necessary to promote the interests of both T The helm of the ship of this re public was constructed by men of dif ferent and apparently irreconcilable views, and the constitution was only framed by a compromise of all conflict ing opinions, a compromise gave us our constitution .ud a compromise will solve the difficult problem of the hour 'which yoQ have assembled here to grapple with'. The 'Knights of Labor, says the head of their organi sat ion, 'never will be a political party, but its members may one day co-operate with other thinking men in forming a party that will keep the country straight in the Ulcs marked out for it by the founders pf the republic' The great author of the bill of rights, a part of the constitution of this State, which has been used as a basis for republican con stitutions everywhere, has -said: 'AH men are by nature equally free and in dependent and have certain inherent rights, of which when they enter into a state of society they cannot by any contract deprive and divest their poster ity, namely, the enjoyment of life and lib erty and tht means of acquiring and pos sessing property and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.' That wise sentence is one of tho straightest and dearest and dearest lines 'marked out by tbe founders of the republic' There has always been and there will always be two graat political parties in the United States ana room has never been found for a third. Wherever the formation "of this third party has been attempted it has failed, called by what ever name it may have been; and you well say,' Mr Powderly, .'the regula tion of the prices of labor and com modities does not come within the prov ince of political parties.' But the battle, we are told, is one of labor against capital and ccpital against labor. Why, some capitalists are dem ocrats and some republicans, and Knights of Labor belong to both of the great political parties of the day. Will dem ocratic knights fight republican capital ists, and u ill republican knights fight democratic capitalists ?; What a mixed combat tlint would be ! Let us follow your chie "b advi- e, and keep politics out, and let the oontest be &s it was originally started - between the capital ists of either political party on one side and the Knights of Labor, be they dem ocrats or republicans, on the other. But what class of capitalists are opposing ytU, and : vcLosc courss is injurious to tbe 'lines : marked ; out by the founders of the republic?' I divide capitalists into two; kinds, and will go with you and give the command 'Forward! and fight by your side against one of these classes; make war against incorporated rascality and we will help yeu to ride it down ; combat great moncjed corporations that seek to control your legislatures, Federal and State, by bribery and corruption in or der that they may get votes in the Fed eral halls of .legislation to perfect and fasten upon the whole country legisla tion for their benefit and not for the ben efit of the people at large. We will march shoulder to shoulder with you in that. : Draw the farif s from the money kiegs ' who seek to take possession of the great i telegraph lines of the coun try and deflect them from their 1 legitimate purpose by con trolling them to defeat the Will of free people in the attempt to defraud the whole country of their constitu tional right tp e'ect rulers, and we will order to your support 'horse, fcot and dragoons' io thit. Organ:zo against the capitalists! who furnish money to carry the elections,; and then claim as their re ward the selection of the men upon whose shoulders; shall be thrown the purple robe of the judiciary, and we are with you in that. You will feel the touch of our elbows too, in assisting to keep down: any men or set of men who seek to depart from the lines marked out by our forefathers and set up in the country a strong central govern ment to control the people, when the fathers formed a government to be con trolled by the people." In conclusion the. Governor advised the Knights to make war on incorporated rascality of ail kinds,! but not upon those who use their wealth to assist distressed man kind. It is wise, he said, to have peace between conservative capital and tbe laboring classes. He recommended the adoption ; of the following motto : "Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever persuasion, religions or po litical." ; i The large audience listened with clo3e attention and frequent applause marked their approval of the principal points me del When Gov. Lee had taken his : seat on the platform, Frank Farrell, (a colored member of the delegation of district assembly 49, of New York, whose associates refused to take up their quarters in a hotel in which he was refused admission on an equal footing) ascended the platform, and taking his stand beside the presi ding officer's table introduced Mr. T. V Powderly to reply to the addross of welcome of Go vernor Le. Farrell said the objects of the order included the .aboli tion of distinctions which are main tained by class, by creed, by color and by nationality. He said Mr. Powderly was a man whose mind was, he believed. abovo the suporstitions which are involved I in these distinctions. He went on to say: "Here we stand as brethen and as equals. My experience in the noble ordor of the rvoighta of Labor and my training in the district to which 1 belong have taugnt me tnat we have advanced very far towards the elimination bf these unfortunate and regretable distinctions. As we recog nize and repose cochlenoe in all worthy men for their worth to society, so can we repose confidence in the head of tbe noble sons of labor, T. V. Powderly." W: eu Mr.; Powderly stepped forward he Wos . received with loud applause Bowing to Gov. le and the large audi ence, he replied to Gov. Lee's address of welcome. He spoke of his high appreciation : of Southern hospi tality rind expressed tne hope that tho curtain had dropped forever upon the last scene in which the people ,of tho United States would stand arrayed as enemies. He went on to advocate the cause of labor, and declared it to be the duty of every Knight to assist in or eating a "healthy publio opinion upon the sub 1 act. ; in oonciuaing nis speech, Mr. Powderly said that some of the members of visiting delegations, who were of a darker hue than their broth ers, could not find a place at soma of the hotels. : This was in accordance with what had long been a custom here, and old customs and prejudices do not readily vanish. Theref had been par ticular mention made of one instano, where a delegation numbering sixty members had only one colored member among them. Ho was refused ad mission to a hotel where they in tended to go, and the delegation, standing by the principles of the order, which recogn'z'os no distinction of creed, nationality or color, went with their colored brother. That, he said, was why he made the seleotibn of that brother to introduce him to them, so that it might go forth that they prac ticed what they preached. At the close of his address Mr. Powderly requested that all those present who were not dele gates should retire and thanked them for having come to the opening session. Mr. Bennett, of the Richmond dis trict, moved a vote of thanks to Gov. Lee and after this was heartily and unanimously given it was followed by a burst of reusing cheers for Virginia's Governor. All save delegates left the hall and the convention settled down to practical work, in which it bids fair to be engaged for the next two weeks or more. In secret session the only busi ness done was the appointment of a com mittee on minor credentials. An ad journment was then taken till 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

A LEGAL ROW. HOW IRISH LAWYERS DIFFERED WITH A JUDGE. TUXY INPIGNANTLY LEAVB COURT BBC A USB OF A JLDGB 8 ACTION. i Bkifast, Oct. 4 The commission appoiiittd to investigate the circum stances causicg and attending the recent riots met toJay. All the lawyers en gaged to attend the investigation, save two, insisted on an adjournment for a few minutes, fifteen &t least, in order to decide on what course to adopt. Jus tice Day refused to grant an adjourn ment, ; saying it would be a waste of time. Despite the protests . pf the law- whereupon the lawyers present rose anaM left the court room in procession, taking their bags,: briefs and books with them. Several solicitors, priests and Orangemen interested in the investigation followed them. Lawyer O'Shaughnessy said that be was indignant at justice Day's con tluot, and added "The Irish bar is not used to such treatment." Duplla Ag-alB. Correspondence ot the New and Observer. j Chapil Hill, Oot. 4, 1886. There is a misprint in my letter about Duplin which obscures the snse. I atk, "What evidence is there to show that the Irishmen who settled in Duplin had any peculiar affection for Dublin," (not Duplin ) My idea is that the Irish Bottlers of Duplin were probably Sootoh Irish Presbyterians, who would rather dislike than like the capital of Ireland. Their pfetorence for the name of "Done gal", m shown by Col. Saunders' ex tractft from the records of the assembly tf 1749, seems to prove this, as Donegal is in the northwest of Ireland, a port of Ulster. ' However it may be that the abscmbly were seeking to compliment the Etrl of Donegal, whose ancestors, the Chichesters, had distinguished themselves in fighting, or ruling over Irishmen hostile' to the English govern ment. I find in Burke's peerage lord Du- filin's name spelt Dupplia, but in Smol ctt's history and other books the name has r nly one p. That is a small matter, as people 150 years .ago claimed and exercised mrs liberty in spelling than is allowed us now. The name was probably pronounced Dup-lin, and hence was mistaken by some Lr Dub lin ! : The effort of the lower house to call the county "Donegal," and the refusal by the Governor to approve the bill in that shape, strengthens onrcwe, because Governor JjLuston was a Scotchman and desired a Sotch name. Will Col. Saunders kindly publish all the names of the members of the board of trade of 1750 ? I greatly re joice that an officer so thoroughly com petent as be has charge of the publica tion of the documents relating to the early hist ry of our State. I request Col. Saunders to have an eyt to elucidating the derivation of Tar river. It was once oalled Pamtico, Pam lico, Pamlico, throughout its course. When was the name "Tar" applied to its upper waters, and whence was the name ? Edgecombe county was oalled in 1733 in honor of Richard E igcumbe (note the spelling), of Mt. Edgoumbe, created Baron Edgcumbe in 1742. His nephew, George, was created Eirl of Mount-hrdgcumbe in 1789. it was the latter who distinguished him self in the naval service and rose to , the rank of admal, Whee ler's history to the contrary notwith standing. Now Mount Edgcumbe ia in Devonshire, England, and lor, or Tawe, river is in the same county.- Was the name of our Tar river, which runs through; Edgecombe county, taken from the Devonshire river about 1733? The late Gov. Clark insisted ihat the old name of Tar was Taw, but he eried, probably, in supposing that it come from the Indians. Certainly Dr. Hawks is mistaken in supposing that it is a con traction of Torpejo, as laid down in' an ancient map, because that river empties into Albemarle sound. I hope that the documents now beicg published will eettle the question. Yours truly, Kbmp P. Battik.
