Ready to Begin Actual Work.


RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 8
Although it is the third dav of the X of L.
convention, its members are not ready to
begin actual work. There still remains to
be settled the question of seating eight or
ten delegates whose cases the committee on
credentials have referred to the convention.
Throughout the city to-day the principal top
&c of discussion was the admission last night
of colored delegate Faarel to seat in the
orchestra circle in the Academy of Music,
section of the auditorium in the Richmond
theatre hitherto sacredly guarded from the
intrusion OF all persons of his race. The
general feeling among Virginians here is one
of bitter resentment, and they regard the
delegates from district No. 40 with anything
but friendly feelings
At noon recess was taken, and Powdcrly
announced to the representatives of the press
that he had nothing to communicate to them.
Some secret business has been transacted.
The morning session was mainly devoted to
consideration of the report of the committee
on credentials which has not been acted upon.
The afternoon session began at 2 and lasted
until nearly and the matters then stood
about where they were this morning Pow
derly said the convention was still consider
ing the report of the committee on creden-
tials and hadn't yet acted on it. Until this
discussion is ended the convention is at
standstill and no work can be done. The
contest will be resumed tomorrow forenoon
