The Dispatch of Tuesday announced

operations were resumed in the nail.
making department on Belle Isle, about
one third of the feeders refused to 90 to
work because the nailers would not give
them three fifths Of the amount paid
for cutting a barrel Of nails in-
stead OF one cent over one half,
which they had heretofore received.
The feeders, finding that their demands
would not be acceded to, have gone to
work, and now all Of the machines are
in operation except few in cases where
the feeders have obtained employment
elsew here. Most Of these, it is under
stood, will soon return ; ifthey do not,
substitutes will be put in their places.
Yesterday, for the first time since
early in June, things were in full blast
on the island, and the place presented
an active business appearance. 1t is a
source of qualification to the public
sat the differences there have been ad-
justed. and that, the men having re-
turned to their machines, everything is
working smoothly.

THE CONVENTION TOMORROW.
There is an increasing public interest
in the Convention which meets at e.

The Convention will probably be
called to order by the Hon. Henry l..

cided is whether the workingmen will
endorse the Hon. George D. Wise, or
will nominate a candidate Of their own.
or will make any movement at all with
reference to the election of a congress

who favor non-sction, some who wish
to have Wise endorsed, and others who
urge that the workingmen shall put for
ward a candidate of their own and from
their own ranks.

Fair progress Ii being made With the
excavation for the City-Hall foundation,
bat It will be month or more before
the stone. masops can bs set to work.
The earth removed is being hauled to
the north end of Seventh street and to
the north end of Eleventh street. With
1t at the former place . street will bs
constructed across the gulley to Navy
Hill, and thence or ward in the direction
Of the Tanner & Delaney Engine Com
pany's works. Il is desirable to de-
posit it all at Seventh street, but there
Is not sufficient dumping-room for all
the carts there, and hence some Of them
are being sent to Eleventh street, whore
also the street is being extended.
The City.Hall lot will be dug out to
depth Of about l5i feet at the high
est point, which is at the northwest
corner. The southeast corner is the
lowest, being about 6 feet 4 inches
lower than the northwest corner.
The building as projected by the
Myers plan will cover all the ground,
from sidewalk to sidewalk, between
Broad and Capitol stress, but will be
some As feet less than tbs width Of the
lot from Tenth to Eleventh streets.
On the northwest corner tower viii
rise to the height Of $50 feet.
Arrangements have not yet been
made by the committee for qusrryiDg
the stone, but soon will be. The plan
is to haul it to Richmond either by the
Danville or the Allegheny road, and
thence by the Connection railway to
Elba station, where the locomotives will
leave the cars, and horses will draw
them al night down to the City-Hall
lot. To render this scheme practicable
an agreement will have to be entered
into between the city and the Street
Railway Company, and one Of their
tracks-that on which the Fredericks-
burg cars formerly ran--will have to be
extended from Ninth street to Eleventh.
That the City Hall is row fairly un-
der way there can be no doubt. The
City Engineer, the Council Committee,
and the two branches of the Council all
seem resolved to push it steadily on

LOCAL POLITICS.
ALL TEE VOTERS OF RICHMOND CITY
10 BE REGISTERED ANEW.
Hon. George D. Wise at New Kent Court
hoase-The Labor Convention To-
Morrow Night. &C.. &C., &c.

There is to be . new registration o.
voters here on September 23d, Gath
| 25th, 9th, 2S,h, and Goth. The ole
registration books will be done away
with, and all who do not enroll them
selves on the new lists on one OF these siz
days, or on the regular day ofrevision ten
days priorsto the election, will be de-
prived Of the privilege Of voting for
member Of Congress-.
The last general registration here
took place ten years ago, and ever since
that time the books have been undergo
ing steady process Of disfguration by
the addition of new names and by the
transferring Of voters from one precinct
to another.
The names Of many dead have been
erased. but names Of many more still
stand upon the books. No system Of
purgiDg short Of general registration
can put the books in proper
condition to be relied On as correct
register Of voters. Having been in.
formed Of these facts, the General As
sembly clothed the Electoral Board Of
Richmond with the power to order
new registration in 1885, but the Board
did not see their way clear to accept
the provisions Of the act. Then the
General Assembly renewed the act
for 1886. The Board had deter
mined to have the new registration
in the spring Of the year, but the local
option election having been orderej,
and the municipal election following
close upon that, they we're forced to
reconsider rather than overwhslm the
people With a multiplicity OF elections
and registrations. Now they have fixed
upon the dates from September 23d to
Goth inclusive, Sunday excepted.
Registration begins on Thurs
day and ends on Wednesday. The
registrars will sit from sunrise TO
sunset at each Of the twenty-four pre-
cincts. Should any one fail to register
during these six days he will have an
other opportunity to do il at the revi-
sion Of the books, ten days prior to the
November election.
Each registrar is authorized to ap-
point clerk. Some Of the registrars
think that one clerk will not be enough
that there ought to be two clerks for
each registrar, so that one clerk may
attend to the white book and the other
clerk may attend to the colored book.
Whether a new registration should
have been ordered Just at this time is a
matter Of doubt with some 4; bat the
Board, composed Of Messrs. William
II. Palmer, r. I. Pemberton, and W.
j. Westwood,) had all the facts before
them, and, upon their best judgment.
have decided that the registration shal!
be had. There is, therefore, nothing
to do but to prepare for it.
