THE TEN7H WARD xXow-NoTHrvGs

Our Reporter again visited Council No. on Satur-
dsy evening From the calm state of the weather he
was in expectation of seeing large turnout Of the
brothers, and of proportonably large amount
Of laughable demonstrations He disappointed,

the funny to be ample reward for his attendance
At o'clock p. m Bro. WHEELER, the new Pres-
dent called the Council to order The reading OF the
minutes of the previous meeting showed the apness Of
Bro Ccrson for reporting, as he had incorporated all
the speeches OF the brothers into his minutes. II
that he fearful our report might be adopted
instt ad Of his own and he had exeIted himself
not to be outdone. He did well-realy well. lie mist
be valuable as q reporter for The Express.
Under the head of "New Business, Bro. CORsoS
read long preamble and resolutions, which he said
were based on the report of the Nineteenth Ward
Council mo. l5 in The TRIBUNE Of Friday last. The
point of the resolutions to censure Council No. IS
and Council No. 80, Mount Vermont for taking VIM.
A. Dooley into the Order. Bro. C.. said that both
those Councils well knew that Mr.. Dooley was no
Amencan-that he was merely initiated TO save the
Know-Nothing Aldermen from violating their " obi
cations in voting to confirm him for Assessors that il
was well known in the Order that he had been nom
mated TO place which had been promised to several
members of the Order. The resolutions were passed
unanimously.
II appears that young Joe, by his conduct in Coun-
oil No. Is, has stirred up all the old wrath Of the
brotherhood. Our reporter thought last week that
things were getting quiet; but it proves to be the
ouet before the hurricane. The little joker had best
see 10 the brethren at Albany, lest in the revamped
Charter the Commissioner Of Streets will have very
short tenn TO serve.
After passing the resolutions, Bro. Jackson moved
that james W. Barker be censured for accepting the
position of President of "LiveOak Club The
PRESIDENT declared the motion out of order. Bro
JACKSON appealed from the decision. The president
put the question on sustaining his decision, and not
being able to decide, count was called He then
asked those in the affirmative to RISE They did so,
and hereupon a man behind big nose, by the name
of HALL-driver of ponies, and sometimes called
"poney Hall"-jumped up and said he had not come
10 make a speech, but lie wanted to know how to
vote. He hoped the reporter of The TRIBUNE would
take down his speech. He hoped the brothers would
not quarrel like pack of Paddles. He wanted some
dinner-chicken pot pie going to turn out on the
22d Of February with his pones-they THE ponies)
kuO1g something when they get the flags in their ears
Hoped the brothers would all come ont with " new
hearts'-no anmosities. Said his ponies good
Americans anybody. "NOw Brothers" said he,
edo come out with right feelings on the 22d of Febru-
ery." After again exhortng the reporter to take
down the whole speech, the nose disappeared To the
sonshment of the Brotherhood he did not repeat his
dOggerel:
"John Alcohol will not cart,
But all thngs else with all my heart;
Old Dick has good oats for dinner;
Come sign the pledge, and live forever"
hia egto SOeepl the PRESIDENT,
telling Bro. Hall how to vote, again put the question,
and I" nosey" came up among the Yeas. The Chair
was sustained; "a to 4. Afer which Bro. Jackson
gave the reasons for making the motion just ruled
out The main point made was that the Live Oak
Clubs were forestalling public opinion. Bro. j. T.
Brooks the late President followed in defense of Bro.
Barker, and showed logically that Bro Barker was
always right when he decided the same question
all sorts of ways. Bro BROOKS illustrated this point
by supposing a quarrel thousand miles distant, and
that Bro Barker heard side first and decided for
that, then heard the other and decided for that.
Would not Bro. Barker be cOnsistent?' said
Bro Brooks He then went into history OF dis
turbance in the Thirteenth. Ward Council but its per-
Thence not being perceptble, and lis ruthuness not
being admitted by those who knew the facts, we pur
Iosely omit it. Judging from the solemn qlietness
which pervaded the room for moment after Bro.
able arguments had fully convinced the brothers that
they ey had done right in sustaining the lucid decis-
ION az Bro Wheeler. Even Bro. Jackson must have
seen his error in offering such resolution. lie will
sooner or later learn that while is perfectly in order
10 censure Council No Is and No. 49, it will not do to
censure the Mogul. Oh, no.
Bro CoRsoS then read from his favorite paper The
Express an article in regard to the selection OF one
delegate from each Congressional District to the Ma
tonal Council to be held in Philadelphia on the 18th
If February next lie said that Bro. Barker advised
that such delegate be chosen by convention made up
of FIVE delegates from each council in the district Inc
suggestion being approved Bros Brooks Coats, jack
Son Willis and Van Duser chosen such delegates
from Council No 5. There being no further business
The brothers adjourned
II is proper TO state that AID Griffith was present
during the evening, but took part in the meeting
The attendance being slim, our reporter asked OF
brother why so few came, and why the Alderman
elect was not more active. The was that the
brothers were afraid of being reported in The TRiB
rSy. This Of course cannot be true, a. 1t was only
last week that the Council voted to read the report
from our paper and on this very evening " big nosey
wished to be reported 1t is barely possible however
that such men Bro Henry c. Atwood, Bro. Henry
d. johnson, Bro. Moses ID. Gale, Bro John Van Tine,
md few of this stamp, have concluded to keep in
The back ground, lest they might jeopardize their
standing at Tammany Hall
Our reporter suggests that library attached to the
Council might have some influence in checking the
terrible profanity of the brothers He would advise
