Those within ‘tue hall were such only as really felt an interest in tue purposes of the iaeeting. Nearly every seat was occupied. A dozen or more ladies were Present, Besides the Clerks’ Assembly there were resent lane delecations from the Carpenters’ niom, the Carpenters Assembiy, Knights of Labor, the Columbts Typographical Union, and the Excel sior (mixed) Assembly. Mr. E. W. Hambleton, the Presideat of the Clerks’ Assembly, introduced Mr. August Donath as the presiding officer of the eveuing. MX. DONATH’S ADDRESR Mr. Donath expressed his satisfaction at being Selected to preside over an assembiage of so many honest men. ‘ihen in a brief address he stated the purpose of the meeting and gave some words of advice. He urged clerks who were not members of the Cerks’ Assembiy to Join af once, Saying that 4t was not honest for theta to stand By and permit Others to do all the Work, and that It was not good poly either, a8 the tinie would come when em- Ployers would fod it tw their interest to have Ineubers of the assembly in their service. He sald that le knew of Dut one employer Who would not ermit his clerks to belong to the assembly. All Be tied tu say about this man was that he was not At to de an American citizen. ‘The speaker was here interrupted by cries of “name bim! name hima! ‘nawe him! coulag trom all parts of the hall.

Mr. Hambleton was next introduced, and gave [is experience as an over-worked clerk. He spoke ‘Welerks to urge thelr more general co-operation 4m the early-closing movement, and pleaded with general public for assistance by early shopping. ticularly asked Governinent clerks to make Purchases before going home to dinner. He Pointed out how each and every one, no matter ‘What their ewployment, might shop ‘early. He aid he reluctaatly referred to the action of certain female clerks He sald they got out of their stores t 6 o'clock and, after loitering about the streets, Went lato otuer stores Justa minute betore 7 @clock, and kept the 7-o'clock cierks at work after hours pulling down goods to show them. He criticised the Clerks for dealing with mer- chants who keep their stores open until 10 or 11 o'lock. He said be had heard that some cierks were afraid of losing their ms if they joined the assembly. ‘The assem- had ip back and white, the deciaration from many of the Merchants that they did not ask What orders their clerks belonged to #0 long as Wey were good salesmen. He then read testiio- Bials from merchants who close at 7 o'clock, de- claring that they do better business under the early Closing policy. Among them were G. G. Cornwell & Son, Wim. Habn & Co., C. Auerbach, N. L. Kosen- Derg, 'Frankle € Co., L."K. Brown, B. L Wheeler Ashby & Co., #xd Calivin Witmer &'co. MR. PRERY'S SPEECH. Dennis Ferry, president of the Bricklayers’ Union, was the next speaker. Political parties had, he said, endeavored to elevate the human race. Kings and potentates had met tn solemn conclave to consider, as they said, the advance- Ment of the human race. But on examination it had always been found that they sought only to rate themselves and the oppression of, the Whole race. ‘They liad tried political parties until the naturai course of events, the evolution of na- ture, had given birth to the Knightsof Labor. He contrasted the condition of tae clerks before this eariy-closing movement with thelr present condl- Ton, where the early closing has gone tato effect. He Said be bad watcuea things, and had observed | that the stores that closed early were doing better Dusiness, while those that kept open late were | losiug trade. The popular love of justice was | effecting this. He advocated the inauguration of the “card system” with the clerks, and not deal Ang Where the clerks have not assembly cards, A COLORED KNIGHT. ‘The next speaker was Jesse Lawson, a colored Kuight of Labor. He sald that they stood in this movement for all that was best in government and society. He said they asked the public to open the eyes of their minds and tueir conscience and See this movement in its proper light. His line of @rgument was that with modern Ume and labor- aving inventions the number of hours of work, nd not the number of workmen, should be re- duced. Osborne Ward, Jno. Thompson, Jos. Fan hing and George Spreeve also spoke abd favored ‘we thorough organization of the clerks and the Boycotting of stores not acceding totheir de- Mands.

A special to the Baltimore American trom Jack- Sonville, Fla, October 19, says: Conflicting testi- mony before the coroner's jury to-day, and the in- terest taken in the case by Col MacWilliams’ Intends, has created quite an excitement in this city over the Bangs-MacWililams shooting affray. While the corouer’s jury is doing its best to ascer- Tain definitely who fired the frst shot, friends of The dead man are going about discussing all sorts of rumors, some of wuich are plausible, und some ¥ umprobable.

From the testimony furnished, ‘the shooting took plies in trunt of Houston's sa Joon. Bangs was standing in aside door to the Saloon, in the dark, the cl-etrie light in front of the building not "reaching the place where he stood. Itt claimed that MacWilltams €rossed the street to the saloon and fired at Bangs, who was standing in the door. ‘The short- €st and tuliest wen on the coroner's jury have ed Lue entire [rout of the building, but have Iniled to find Where the bullet struck, apd ne. aust tired wid of his mark OF not at all.

NBED OF RCONOMY—TEMPERANCE PEATURES—CARPET WEAVERS NOT REINSTATEO—THE NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO BE HELD IX INDIANAPOLIS. The Minneapolis special to the Philadelphia Press last night says business was pushed through with vigor at the last meeting of the general as- sembly of the Knights of Labor yesterday. The ‘Committee on laws introduced measure after meas- lure in rapid succession, which were adopted or re- Jected In most cases according to ita recommenda- ons. First, an amendment to the article on co- operation in the constitution was Teported to make 1 optional instead of compulsory, as heretofore, ‘With local assembiles to pay assessments to the co- operative fund. The article as it stood before was ¥ery objectionable to the large trade assemblies, which care little about co-operation, and accord- ingly the amendment was carried. On recom- mendation of the committee it was decided that ho changes should be made in the management of the Journal of United Labor, and that bodies of the Knights of Labor, when’ parading in pubiic, Shall be allowed to carry none but Suite and na Uonal colors. Another amendment to the consti- tution was sean proposed, remo} strikes from the jurisdiction of the general executive board and depriving it of the power vested im it by the new constitution to step in and take charge of strikes unless asked to do $o by the districts involved. This amendment was passed without difficulty. TEMPERANCE FEATURES, ETC. After the disposal of a number of minor amend- ments the committee introduced with unfavorable Tecommendation a proposition to do away with certain of the temperance features of the constitue ton Which refuse membership in the order to any- body dealing in or deriving profit from the sale of intoxicants and prohibit assemblies from selling beer at plenics or social gatherings. After a lively discussion the amendments were put to the house to vote. The yeas and nays were called for, re- sulting in the defeat of the amendment by a vote Of 104 to 49, the delegates who advocated the amendments and vied in support of them were those representing District Assembly No. 3, of Pitts- burg; District Assembly No, 24 and 57, of Chics District Assembly No, 49, of New York; Dist Assembly No. 50, of Detroit; District Assembly No. 108, of MilWaukee, and ‘others mostly from Western States, It is not probable that any of these district assembiles will withdraw on this account, although there has been some talk that District Assembly No. 50 and District Assembly No. 108 would do so. Mr. Powderly was authorized to appoint a general of the Knights of Labor mm land attached to trict Assemibiy No. 208, th compliance with the request of that asirict) made public iast Week. Hereafter organizers will pee dues in Coggea from i erly ‘commissions, Having cou the work ‘of the law committee = THE COMMITTEE ON APPEALS AND GRIEVANCES Teported. A number of charges against General Secretary Litchman had been filed, but were all Pronounced by the committee to be groundiess, No debate was had on the report, and the charges Were dismissed. The bills of impeachment pre- Pared by Printers’ Local Assembly 3875, of Phila- deiphia, charging Mr, Litchman “with tilegally awarding the printing of the order to his own printing ofice in Marblehead, Mass, were not A number of documents had been filed with the Jaw committee by assembites in and around New York asking for the rejection of the new constitu- Uon, but they were reported unfavorably and were Fejected by the convention. Everybody was ina hurry to get through, and, considering the fact WAL most of the obnoxious features of the new constitution had been removed at this eer they Luougnt that to debate the question woul be to waste time. Other propositions to amend and add to the constitution were rejected, among them belug these: To strike out section 14, giving the inaster Workman all the rights and privileges of a representative In the general ussembly; to Inake Siate assemblies the highest authority 1n 1ts geographical limits, exept on trade mnatters; to totally abolish the order of Knights of Labor, and to estabiish a general court, to be elected by the general assembly, with all officers to receive salaries, Shortly before uoon the committee on appeals reported the case of Carpet Work- ers’ District Assembty, No. 126, and at this point THE FIRST LITTLE ROW OF THE DAY occurred. The committee stated that they had been able, in the time allowed them, to hear evi- dence from only one side of the case—the evidence of the representatives of District Assem:iy No. 126, besides thatof Wm. H. Bailey. They asked the case to be left in their hands until they had beard all the evidence from both sides and had thoroughly investigated the cause of the expul- ‘sion, and then the case could be submitted to the deiegates Individually after return home. Before Uhis request was acted upon, Delegate Perry, of Liligols, moved that the whole controversy be're- ferred to a committee of arbitration, to consist of three members, one to be selected by District AS sembly No. 126, one by the general executive board, and the Unird by the other two, and that Unis committee, after thoroughly investigating the case, pubiish tiie evidence, with thelr recommend. ations, in circular form, and submit to the local assembiles for their consideration, leaving 1t to Them to decide whether or not District Assembly No. 126 should be reinstated. This pian was agreed to cordially by George Murray, John Mor- rison, and Joseph MeGinn, the representatives of ie district, Defbre it was presenuéd, Inasinuch as they felt coafident that if the case were thus subiaitved they would win. Before this plan could be adopted, a resolution was offered by an adiainistration delegate that District Assembly No. 126 be reinstated when ik complies with the Jaws of the order. This resolution was immedi- ately put lo tue house, and voted through with a Tush. Murray, delegate from District As- sembly (4, of New York, and counsel for the car- pet worxers, Jumped to Hts feet in indignation and criticised the action of the convention as snap — aud the action of the committee as un- POWDERLY'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Powderly then made a short speech in de- fense of the course pursued by the general execu- tive board in the expuision of District Assembly No. 126 John Morrison, he sald, was debarred from the Richmond convention because, not having been legally transferred froin one assembly to an other, he Was not a member of the order in good standing, and that since then h- had not taken the proper sieps for transfer. He had never sald, he added, that Joun Morrison was not_a member of Ue ofder, but that he was not a member in good standing, Consequently, he said, District Assembly No. 1s had no right to elect hum as iis master Workwau. POWDZRLY ACCUSED OP UTTERING AN USTRUTH. Mr. Murray replied hotly to this, and sald that the generai master workman had uttered what he knew to be an untruth when he said he had never declared that Jno. Morrison was not a member of the order. ‘Tue general master workman did say 80,” continued Mr. Murra;, “and tunis decision stands on the records of this eneral assembly.” Tuiscreated a decided stir and Hugh Cavanaugh, of Cincinnad, a member of the committee on a} peals, arose dud sald that Brother Murray should biogize for what he sald. Mr. Murray refused todo that and reiterated his former statements, addi that by passing the resolution the convention had Virtually condemned District Assembly No. 126 Without hearing Its case, inasmuch a8 the evi- dene, If pre-eated, would have proved that It com- fied With the law. ‘The committee, he Said, had eard only Oue side of the ease and had pronounced a virtual condemnation of District Assembly No. Ho5 tons lvtag its representatives a proper ering. re seems now to be,” he declared 10 ho rigut of appeal to the general as- sembiy.” "This action of the convention. practt cally shuts out District Assembly No. 120. for aucther ear, and exclides 1t perhaps forever from. membersuipin the Knights of Labor,notwithstand- ing the Tact s 10,000 members tn Philadel. pla, New York city, Yonkers and Amsterdam are &LXIbUS Lo be restored to the fold, RIGID BCONOMY NKEDED. The finance committee next preseated {ts report, 4m Which It was stated that over $400,000 had been expended from the general treasury of the order in the past year, and recommended that rigid economy be practiced In the future. A motion Was at once made Usat the report be approved, but at this juncture Geo. Murray arose and démanded that the committee read and explain the items in the bist Of $5,005 for hotel expeuses of the general ex- utive Usctrd, abd also In the bill of $10,038 for auizers ahd lecturers.” ‘The chairman of the cominittee, Geo. S, Dovey, of Pittsburg, repited that the cowiiitee had the itemized acoount included in the bill for hotel expenses, Dut had not the ttems tu the ocher. ‘The delegates showed a great deal of futerest tm the matter, and called upon thé chatr- man to read the item’ of hotel expenses. Chatr- man Dovey did so. Among the items was one of $5 for wine and beer bills of the general executive committee board, and one tor service amounting to $61, including $23 for Mrs Jno. W. Hayes’ Washing. "The ing Of Uhese items con- fired tue statement made by T. B. Barry on Sat- urday and caused @ sensation.

The congress also adopted a resolution in favor of a reform of the franchise, 80 that one man shall have only one vote. It was decided to hold a meeting of the federation at an early date im Ireland.

He condemned the revival of the phantasy Of protection, He urged tne extension of local rnmentin the direction of decentralization, ut he sald that these, together with the questions of liquor trafic and disestablishment of the church in Scotland and Wales, could not be touched until sound adjustment had been affected in regard to Ireland. It was hopeless to attempt to deal with the arrears of legislation or to attain a better and healthier position until there had been a total re- ‘Versal of the Irish policy. “We do not believe,” he said, “in indefinitely ad- Journing the discussion of the great and crying ‘wants under which the coun:ry 18 laboring, for we believe, from all the signs around us, that the great Irish controversy wili in no long time be satistac- torlly and triumphantly settled.” He advocated the enfranchisement of the nation as the primary tool essential to the work, and he condemned fagot Yoting—declaring that ohe man should have only one vote. Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said it was sometimes thought that he should go further and bind him- self, and as far ashe could, his friends (who per- ‘aps would decline to be #0 bound) in determint ‘the precise manner in which all the princlj enactments in his future bill for the government of Ireland should be framed. He was ‘not prepared and did not intend to so bind himself. He had en- deavored to give clear and intelligtbie indications 8 an honest man should, and he Was constrainee to act within the letter and sptrit.

PIERRE. Capt. Lawson, of the fishing schooner Herman Babson, arrived at Gloucester, Mass., Tuesday from the fishing banks, and reports finding a water- logged French sloop off Newfoundland and the dead bodies of eight of the crew floating in the cabin, The wrecked vessel was sighted Sept. 3 toward night. The Babson bore down on the ves- sel, which was. ag the St. Pierre, Of St. Plerre, Miquelon. ‘The captain knew the St. Pierre, having frequently seen her baiting up at St. Pierre. She was low down in the water, and her decks were split, Her masts had beea washed away. Capt. Lawson and his men boarded the ‘sloop, and were horritied to find the bodies of eight of her crew foating in the cabin. They had been dead some time. All were Frenchmen. Capt. Lawson thinks her entire crew was fourteen men, and that the other six must have been saved. The Babson hovered all might close to. the spot Where the French sloop was found, which was 150 miles south of Newfoundland, but in the morning the St. Pierre was gone. Capt. Lawson says 1 Was rough, and too dark the night before to take the bodles off. A ‘Temperance Appeal. THE CLERGYMEN OP ATLANTA UNGE THE PEOPLE TO STAND BY PROHIBITION. Prohibition is to be again submitted to popular Yote in Atianta the last of November. Seventy- seven local clergymen, of all denominations, have signed the following appeal: “We, the ministers of the gospel in Atlanta, ear- nestly appeal to the citizens of Fulton Gounty and this city to use tuetr utmost efforts and influence to prevent the return of the bar-rooms to our county and city. We make this appeal because of the manifold blessings that have come to our peo- plg.as the result of prohibition. 1s seen in the eased attendance Upon our public schools and churches, the elevation of public morals, and the reat number of good people whe have sought jomes among us because of our freedom trom the Dar-room curse. ‘The eyes of all elvilized people are upon us. ‘This {3 a pivotal point.

Grand Chiet Engineer Arthur, in his annual address, sald that political schemes and aspirations had no part in their association. They numbered 25,000 men. During the last fiscal year they had paid out $259,500 to widows and orphans, making a total of $2,244,009 paid since 1867. He added: “Taking all things into consideration, our relations, both to ourselves and with: various railroads employing brotherhood men, are amicable.
