NINETEENTH VARD KNOW-NOTHINGS.


than the previous evening when he visited them.
Entering the room before the Council wac called to
order, he found large crowd present discussing mat
trs and things The principal topic Of discussion
fhe report in THE TRIBUNE Of last week. The breth-
zen wondered how that Tenth Ward 90 Cuss" got up
there Several of the brethren expressed their ability
20 pick him out if he came into the room that even
ing so all hands turned their faces to the door and
watched for the entrance of some suspicious looking
Individual, but as our Reporter is not suspicious
looking individual it s fair to presume that they did
Dot him when he entered. Bro. Hatfield knew
the chap well. lie little thinfaced fellow with
blsck whiskers, who stood the door at the last
meeting, and kept all the time making inquiries.
Bro. Merrill was also confident he could "spot' him
the moment he laid his eyes upon him.
The "Taylor-Dooly men" were out in full force
pnd Brother Joe" and Dooly were there to martial
them and keep them in good order. After waiting
while for Bro. Bullock, "Worthy Deputy" to come
and install the officers, the Council called TO
der and proceeded to business.
There arose considerable discussion about receiving
Che proposition of Kelly Acker, who was expelled for
not voting for Ullman for Governor year ago last
Fall. II was announced that Acker was penitent
pnd his proposition was then received.
Communications were called for and three were
read from "Worthy Deputy Bullock. The first
recommended that the Council instruct their delegates
70 the "Grand Council to 60 for alteration of the
constitution so that the Deputies should be elect
ed by the Councils instead of being appointed
by the Grand Council. The second called
Convention, composed of five delegates from each
Council in the Twelfth, Nineteenth, Twenty
second and Twentieth Wards, to elect delegate to
attend the special meeting Of the National Council"
70 be held at Philadelphia next month. 1t was now
moved that the election Of the delegates be postponed
ill "byme by" which carried. Bro. Bullocks
other communication called on the Council, On the
first meeting in February, to vote, expressing their
preference for a candidate for the Presidency. The
next communication created some sensation. 1t was
an official document from Council No. 49, Mt Vernon
Westcheeter County, and the substance of it was as
follows:
II was the custom of that Council to infinite per-
sOns from Eastchester. On the oath of last month
special meeting called TO initiate some persons
who stated they from Eastchester and wished to
form Council there. Among these persons was VIII
Liam A. DOoly, who was brought there by Robert W.
Flnndresu and Henry c. Webb. Mr.. Dooly answered
all the questions put to him. and gave his residence as
Eastchester, and no more was heard of him untl-ac-
COmpanied by his aforementioned friends and " one
Mils"-he called for transfer, stating that he
about to remove to New-York. Mills stated that
DOOly was all right and the President granted him
n transfer signed by our Ex-Secretary Since that
Zine we find we have been grossly imposed upon by
having palmed off on us man who dare not proclaim
his residence. Passed unanimously Signed, John O. A.
Butler, President; George w. White, Secretary"
The Anti-DoOley men now began TO look up, but
ther hopes were in yan the majority against them
was too large This communication accompanied
by delegation from No 90, but the Dooly would
not let them be heard. But, as something must be
done with the document {" Brother Joe" moved that
it be referred to Committee chosen by the Council
President Merrill being ANTHOLOGY man he would
not trust him appoint. Noise, confusion and debate
now sprung up
BIO. Ketchum thought things had changed nightly
since the last meeting. Then there was effort made
70 appoint Committee TO ste if the transfer all
right, and was opposed by the Taylor aud Dooly men,
because before this meeting Mr.. Dooy would be either
confirmed or rejected by the Aldermen for Assessor
But neither had taken place, and it was now very
plain TO see why that Committee was voted down.
Bro Seey, President elect wished to define his position
Bro Seely lawyer, and this DoOly matter has been
a sore trouble to him; he has been endeavOring to
carry water both shoulders he thought this COM
munication ought to be sent back he did not think it
was authentic because Council No 80" was
not placed after the Presidents name. This silly
piece of haispttng excited the ndicule of the
DOoly men, because Bro. Seey last week voted to
Council had no right to go behind such documents;
but now, when there was delegation present to
plain it, il must go back to see if it regular.
The fact is Brother Seely is laborng under great
-sfcutes and reporter begs leave to explain for
him He is patriot who is very DESTROYS to serve
his country next Alderman of the Nineteenth Ward
and owing to the nharmonious state Of the Demo
cratic party he thinks that il he can get the nomination
from the Order il is a pot" He was candidate
for Councilman in the Order last Fall, but Bro
Maynard beat him by few votes, owing to the sym
pahes Of the brothers being enlisted for Maynard
account Of his losing his place as Captain of the
Police Now Bro. 5. must cut under the Council
man for the Aldermanship next Fall some how, hence
the necessity of keeping good terms with all parties,
which he has not succeeded very well in doing 1t
has been industrously circulated around that if the
truth were known, Bro. Maynard who came from the
country, born the Canada line, and having
never been naturalized is a good subject
Queen We" But these rumors cannot be traced
70 aby one Bro. Seely's is one that truly calls
)r COMMUNICATION. How shall he be Alderman
Before the question on the Committee decided
,ro Bullock declared that he in " deviliSh
hurry to get away" and he must install the officers
stanter. Before proceeding, however he said that
there were any appeals from the decisions of this
,uncil 10 tie Deputy he would now hear them M.
IRONS sppesls were put all relating to the recent
Hcutiee. all Of which were decided IN favor Of the
ylor and DoOly party, which caused the remark
