pecuIiarity Of iutonaton which as hirn ndrnraby

u pecunarity OF intonation which MS him admirably
for this kind Of public service. The effect however,
not precisely the same as on the first occasion Of
his reading to the brethren from THE TRIBUNE Then
whisng, swearing, and laughing held scarcely divided
sway. The emotions excited then must have been
different from those in the ascendent now Noise and
confusion now gave way to subdued and sohened ST.
ierce. The whole group presented the appearance of
society Of toads congregated under harrow in a
hail storm In fact, Brother CoOn seemed to regard
them i'll this light, for while reading he INDUCED 10
running commentary the text, and a. the subject
charged from topic to topic he designated by pointing
his finger the particular brother or brothers intended
by the Reporter At the close, the mingling of o.ths
end enathsmas showed plainly the necessity for the
library proposed by Reporter of some other de-
vice TO check vice rghtfully the increase.
Brother Griffith boldly exclaimed that "he did not
"care for The TRIBUNE, nor all the papers in New
York" Brother Corson felt nettled at tkis and was
about to lsmpoon Brother Griffith, but on being as
sured by brother that the Alderman did not mean
to include The EIpress he became docile.
Bro. Wainwright next moved that Mr.. Jeremiah
Petty brother Of Senator Petty who was expelled
from the Order last year for the offense of belonging
to the same committee at the Broadway House as his
brother, be now reinststed in this Council. Bro.
Palmer opposed this. He declared he would never
vote for it until Mr.. Petty explained the language he
gong 10 use on the plight of his expulsion. He
said Mr. Petty then had his mind made up to tell the
Council If neg asked him whether he belonged to the
Broadway House, that " it was none of their business
Bro. Palmer thought this ought to be explained just
as much as though Mr.. Petty had said it. After some
considerable firing the question was taken and
the resolution lost Bro. Mo<emus moved reconsid-
GRAFTON for the purpose of having voted down Here
upon an exciting scene ensued Bro. Buchanan, being
fearful the motion in good faith and not really to
kill Mr.. Petty, opposed reconsideration. Bro. jack
con took sides with Bro. Buchanan and said Mr. Petty
as Inspector of the late election, attempted to cheat
the Americans in canvaSsing the State ticket. He ad
ded several scurlous accusations showing plainly that
he was actuated by personal ll-wil
Bro Wainwright said the whole fuss was kicked up
by the resolution of Bro. jackson; and the moment
that resolution repealed, Mr.. Petty was therebyre
instated. That the Council had no charter he pro-
tested against further action. Bro. Wheeler there
upon sounded bis gavel again. and declared the Coun
Gil adjourned.
This sudden termination of wrangle which has an
uoyed Council No. for the past year left the brothers
in brown study Each and every one took it upon
himself to look with sort of vacant stare upon each
ard every other one, and by their to say,
plainly as silence and staring could say" Who was
the remarkable parsonage that struck the corporosty
of Mr.. William Patterson" Silence, however, was
in another place and at another time of short durs
ton. This temporary calm served only to show the
wonderful recuperative powers Of the brothers. De-
termined not to be thus summary deprived of row.
they formed into groups about the floor, and many
standing committees, pitched into The TRIBUNE
Among them was q thin. visaged somber-lookng, red
nustached, long-haired brother, whom they sin
gled out as the Reporter Without ventur-
ing q direct charge, several of the bold
ones astonshed him, by passing in his vicinity
ard INDUCING in strange CALCULATIONS regarding him
and CHS id paper" This of course Greek
to the stranger but they expect to it all in The
TRIBUNE Among the groups not before noticed was
deputation from the Nineteenth Ward Council, to
see if they could detect the " cuss." Our reporter
could not learn what success they met with On his
way home he ascertaned that Bro. Dolan, the Know
Nothing Assemblyman, was in the city; that he sp-
proved the project of library for Council No. 5; that
he would enrich this library with volume Of his pri
vate reflections upon the Maine Liquor Law. To this
he will append bis own experience, and perhaps that
of Bro Elias Combs on the effects Of strong drink
upon the human system. Their joint exploits Sat
urday evening last should not be omitted, therein
is full explanation # their Gb'eHoe from the Council!
b. Doan must be more careful in the selection of his
company Even the fumes of liquor from the breath
Of comrades have been known to produce drunken
ness.
Our reporter fearful that the election of Banks as
Speaker of the House Of Representatives may operate
as q sort of loosener to the eternal bung' of Know
Nothing profanity If they can be got over this snag
he feels that possibly the Tenth Ward Council may
yet become a model of morality.
