HIGGINS.
The Man who Carries the Irish Vote
i'm His Pocket.

in His Pocket
While out searching for news last Mon
day night, a UNION AND AMERICAN re-
porter "happened in" a. a little caucus
which was being held in Liberty Hall, on
Cedar street, near Cherry. The dOOrOf the
room stood inyitingly open, aud as the re-
porter in question thought that here was
an opportunity of hearing something more
about "harmOny," and 1.-THE march OF pro
gress. he stepped quietly inside and sat
down in a chair near the door, and imme-
diatelv discovered that his entrance had at
tracted attention.
Otto his left was a group composed OF
half a dozen colored men, and an indi
vidual known TO fame as A. a. Carter, and
with this group hurried consultation took
place at once, resulting in Carter sending
one of the cOlOred men to Mayor herche-
val, who was speaking at the time. The
harangue was brought to a close, aud the
Mayor approached the reporter, who at
once became impressed with the idea that
he was about to be invited to address the
meeting. But he was mistaken. The
Mayor had no such intention, but, on the
contrary, informed our representative,
much to his establishment, trat his room
was more desirable than his company.
Then the reporter quietly, but firmly with
drew, fully approaching the fact that IN
thus depriving themselves of his counsel
and wise suggestions, that mot
lev assemblage of patriots could
blame no one but themselves.
After leaving the hall, the reporter was
standing on Cedar street, near Cherry, and
in close proximity to a group OF colOred
men who were engaged in discussing the
situation. when Constable Higgins came
I'D. arm i'm arm with a cOlOred sovereign.
The constable from the Thirteenth district
cordially extended the right hand OftellOw
ship to the members of the group, replied
in the affirmative to a playful inquiry as to
whether he would vote for John COckerill
for chancellor, and passed on towards Lib
erty Hall with his swarthy man and brother.
sThat's Higgins" explained one OF the
party, after the individual referred to had
gotten beyond hearing distance. "He's
good man." he added.
eyes, he'll do to tie to, said another.
"Oh.yes,you can tie fast to him." chimed
in BosIey, the Radical colored nominee
for the Office Of sheriff.
"He can carry all the Irish" said a
fourth.
eyes. if ne was an engineer and had EN-
aboard train,' explained No. ., where
upon a general laugh was INDUCED in, and
the reporter turned sally away, convinced
that what he had Just heard in relation to
the influence Of his friend Higgins had
been said in bitter, bitter sarcasm, and that
Higgins extra cordiality had been thrown
away.
