The Knights of Labor have committed what is called in Richmond an unpardona- ble sin sillcs their arrival in that city. There were widespread mutterings of dis content on Monday when it became known that General Master Workman Powderly was introduced to the tenth annual con- vention of tho Knights of Labor by a color. ed nan, Frank Farrell, ofSNewL York, -ana that Farrell l'S introductOry remarks imme- diately followed the address of welcome delivered by Gov. Fitzbugh Lee. The latter had no idea that such programme had been determined upon and PoWderly has bdAn haFbhly cfiticIsed for takink ad- vantage of Gov.

One man bought eighty tickets of admission, and on one of these FsrEell entered the theater and occu- pied m orchestra chair.

 The delegates boasted that they would sttend the.

CARP IN HOLLAND COUNTY. Some time ago the statement was made in news paper published somewhere in Holland county, that no carp had been successfully bred in the county. This was a mistake, one of if not the best carp pond in Nov England lies wholly within the limits of' Holland county. This pond IS situated in the southeast corner of the town of Upiop. and is owned by Albert Kenyon of Kenyon vile, Woodstock. Mir. Kenyon commeu- ced breeding carp in this pond three years ago. ''' 5.ea.rV s.f i. tusi
 After stocking he waited two years, then drew off the pond and found the fish in number, and growth had greatly cxceeded his expectations tA +-'s7, ibs n1 ,o
 The second drawing occurred on Wednss- day, Oct. 9th, the day was fine and about two hundred people were present, many that were interested in carp fish coming from quite distance, Stafford Springs being we'll represented, as were also the towns of Willington, Southbridge, Putnam and others. .@'.H.H .-7 .H..es3rFs Hs fs
 The fish were found to be in fine con. dition, and averaged about four pounds each in weight, the largest weighing Ave and three quarter pounds. sa1 -.I
 At the preyious drawing Mir Kenyon returned to tho pond two six pounders, to see WIlhJ grown tney would make m year, and was much disappointed on wedness. day at not being able to And them. s,. s'ss
 About 500 weight of carp were sold, one or two of the largest at auction, the remainder at ten cents a pound, ' ..t
 Mir, Kenyon's experience with carp has fair ly demonstrated what can be done towards providing plentiful and wholesome articlesof food from the old mill ponds of New England, at small cost. Any living stream, however, small if flowing through a small meadow, will answer. n.
 The carp has come to stay, and will nd doubt become quite common in n few years. Though inferior to the trout and certain other fish, the carp is considered by many to be very palatable. It is n hardy Ash, proli6c breeder, and grows to much greater EiEe than any other fresh water fish of New England.
 All things considered the carp deserves the fish commission. K. w. BAoKus. | North Ashford Conn, Oct, [, 1880.

footing without discrimination, compe-
tition being regarded as necessary and
beneficial TO the public, and something
to be promoted instead Of prohibited.
Ii is said, for instance, that during
the session Of the Legislature Of 1882
as many ~ four railroad companies were
chartered, each having Memphis and
New Orleans "a its objective or terminal
point, and each company authorized to
construct its road in the narrow belt
between the Illinois Central and the
Mississippi river, without any restric-
ton or condition as 70 location, which
would necessarily have made these sew
eral roads il built not only parallel with,
but very near TO each other, and the
same liberal policy has been observed
as 10 the location Of competing roads
elsewhere in the State.
1t is supposed that this contest will
result. in the adoption Of general law
providing for the organization of
railroad corporations such as most
of the other States have enacted,
leaving each company free as to
the matter Of location, and ignoring al.
together the question Of rivalry or com
petition as ore to be considered by each
company for itself. This policy seems
10 be in consonance alike with i'm
partial justice and the public interests.
What the action Of the Legislature may
be in this particular case cannot be fore.
told, but it is alleged that whilst this NJ.
b. & A. Co. is seeking to prevent
its competitor from Interfering with
its proposed fine Of construction
through Mississippi, it is itself an intru-
der upon the prior grant to another
company over precisely the same line.
How this may be am not prepared TO
say, but il true, it will of course defeat
the plan of the NJ. b. and A. Co., for
protection, especially as that company
has not yet commenced work on the
route in dispute. RAILROAD.
