9TH WARD, Moo YORK,
Jan. "a, 1870.
The passige NV the 18th Amend
ment by the Ohio Legislacher created
a profound sensashen in this immejit
visinity. The news reached us in the
afternoon, and that evenin a large
meetin wuz held in the back room NV
my groseTy to express our views on
the topic, the elect NV the Democrisy
NV the ward bein present. / wuz NV
course called to the chair, and Tommy
Mick Farland, who wuz wunst a re-
porter, till an Overpowerin fOndnis
for hkker preventid him from dis
chargin his dOOtieS, and who, eZ he
kin write, heZ since make livin by
actin eZ SekretaTy NV DimekTatic
meetins in this ward, wuZ made Sex
rotary.
Terence OGrath, who is an under
waiter at the AstOr House, remarked
that his sole wuz filled with woe. The
passage Nv the Amendment by the
Ohio Legislacher, settled the question
Nv niger suffrage. From this time
forward a menial race, only fitted by
nacher to do mental offices for others,
wood be placed on a ekality with him.
1t wuz degradin to the race NV free
men to which he belonged, and for
one he would never, no never submit.
Mr.. O'Grath wood hev continyood
his remarks but he wuZ cut short by
the entrance Nv the mead waiter, who
cussed him viggerusly for bein away
from his place, and ordered him in
stantly to Ieeve. "Who's brushin the
gentlemen's coats, and pullin off their
boots, and sich, while yoor here blath-
erin?" Indignantly ejackilated the
head man, ez Mr.. O'Grath meekly left
the room.
TimnIy BrannOn, Il drayman, re-
markt that he wuz entirely discOura-
gee. Only last week he he'd bin ar
restid and fined for beatin his hoss
over the head with a dray pin, and
now kin nothing he dun to check
these OutTages?
Thomas Patterson, Esq, Il gentle
man known in pugilistic circles ez
''Patty the LITTER wantid to know
whether he wuz to be compelled to 90
to the polls twenty times a day beside
niggers? ''Igast my heyes" remarkt
Mr.. Patterson, vehemently, "I'li go
back to hold Hingland firstw
Mr.. Phelim AfaiiOy remarkt that 50
far ez Moo York wuz concerned he
didn't know ez 'twOOd make any diffir-
ence. He wuz entirely shOOr that no
nigger wood ever vote in the Sixth
ward, anyhow, ez we don't allow only
sich white men to vote eZ we want tu
hev vote. But
"But sposen they'll all vote the
DimOcrathic tikket?n sung out an
Alderman.
"That wOOden't do us any good, "
ret0rted Mr.. Malloy. So long eZ we
kin repate eZ often eZ needs be, and
stuff into the boxes eZ many votes eZ
we want, wat do we want NV more
voters? What he wuz about to say
wuz, that while it wOoden't affect us
in Moo York, his sole run out i'll pity
towards the Dim0crisy in the Ablishen
Distriks who wood be he wuZ to be
compelled to vote with niggers. Com
pelled to stan by helplis and see the
ballut=boX thus degraded.
At this pint there wuZ @ineral OK
preshun NV JOY, Okkashund by the en-
trance NV Mr. John Sykes, who he'd
list arrived from Sing Sing, where he
he'd been incarcerated two years for
burglary, which wuZ complicated with
shOotin the individjoOcl whose house
he wuZ burglin. His bein convicted
and sentenced wuZ OWN to the fact
that lie he'd opposed the nOminaShen
ov the Judge afore whom he wuZ
tried. Mr.. Sykes wuZ NV course i'll
dignant, at the unfair trcctment he
had experienced. but he wuZ more
profoundly affected ut the pOlitilllo
sitooashen than he wuZ at his privit
wrongs. "Thunder To Think sed
he, ''uv sich a mass NV ignOrence,
viShusneSS and crime bein elevated
up To Us. IF 'twant for some little
matters oonnectid with half dozen
hOuse-hreakins i'll Lunnun, I'd 90
back on the next steamer eZ sails"
And Mr.. Sykes actilly wept.
