THE NINETEENTH WARD KNOW
NOTHINGS.


NOTHINGS.
Council No. Is. JOS. s Taylor proprietor, did but
very little business last Wednesday evening. Our
renorter remarked that the number of " enthusiastic
"boys" who came up so boldly TO Bro. Joe's support
at the commencement of the difficulties have very
greatly diminished of late. The Of this is that
those little places on streets and other little jobs whore
a dollar or two day could be made without doing
ANYTHING which were literally promised, do not
turn up 20 plentifully. year or two ago the
Common Council abolished the Inspectors on opening
streets very much to the damage of the patronage OF
the Street Commissioners office Some of the Anti
Dooey men assert that Bro Joe promised them they
would be good and wait patiently, be would get
these Inspectors restored, and then there would be
room or ALL Some of them informed reporter that
they had come up there and "voted things through
for him long enough and if he did not give them an
office soon they would 60 back to the old Council.
But these gentlemen should not be impatient, things
care working; the Inspectors Sewers are about to
be restored as will be by the proceedings of the
Aldermen last Wednesday, and those on streets are
expected soon to follow.
1t was also noticed that several Of the old leaders
don't appear at the meetings lately among whom are
ex Alderman Rich, Jno. Colviu and Councilman May

The TRIBUNE reports. Bro. Rich we believe, has
len the Order, and it is rumOred that he and the
Councilman and a portly functionary, known as
Uncle George, have started an Order in the lower
end of the Ward in the of the Observatory for
the promotion OF civil and religious liberty which
may account for the Counclman's absence. We learn
that their affairs work smoothly; but only
Judge from the entries made in the minutes. How
ever, they keep open doors, your reporter will try
and find time to pay them visit soon.
About o'clock Bro. Seeey took the chair, aud az
ter the usual forms of opening Council were gone
through with, the Investigating Committee reported
avorably on all the members of the old Council ex
cept Bros Clark Merrill, Lehman and Whitfield.
These gentlemen being the leaders of the old anti
Dooley Council, were considered very great sinners
above all others, and the Committee wished TO keep
them in purgstory short time longer before they adj
NIT them to the full-bown joys of HDdoo paradise.
Bro. Tompkins the Marshal now reported from the
anteroom, through the wicket, that of the can
didate. was frozen to death Bro. Tallnan start
ed out to see about the matter, but finding all in dark
ness returned bringing a candle stuck in a bottle,
when he found in waiting for initiation Bros Luke,
Brannin and Fitch, with old members. Bannin has
enjoyed the distinction OF having been blarkbaled
twice for bis anti Dooley sentiments, but both the
brothers last night received again into the bosom
of the Hindoo church
Bro Joe now entered amid the most profound sen
saton after which the report Of the Committee sent
I'D to the State Council to " back up" Bro. Joe

first day of the session. and that the credentials of

made things so hot for the Dooey men that Bro.
DooIey popped up to point of order stating that the
question was not the adoption Of tn resolution but
