sow and then a poor wretch, whose only crime i
teemed to be poverty, mingled with the dissolute,

Ite evidences of happier days and more comfort

sod misery. Sergeant Kelly informed me that the
greater number of arrests made for drunkenness
0t those of women, they being served with the
Mry drinks of the bucket shops at half the
lates charged to men. In the station there are
?f*y-two cells, and It is no unusual thin* of a lively
aight to find them all filled. The cells are well
ventilated and the walls are clean, contrasting
fcvorably with many other city prisons, which sadly ,
aeed overhauling.
When the examination o! the prison had con- j
?laded the policeman who was to be my escort for
the night arrived. "Mr. ? said the Sergeant,
-*"I wish you to take this gentleman around the i
ward and show him everything that is worth l^iug ,

Change my bat and coat and be with you in a jiffy."
In a few moments the .. Ulcer was ready and we de
parted on our mission. My guide was thoroughly
acquainted with the ward, having been stationed

the rooms, the hoarse notes of the men
?uiglingwlth the shrill streams o! their wretched
wives una daughters. The windows were all
broken in, and from them the ragged garments or
the inmates fluttered in the night air. "John was .
a pretty tough man," said the oiKeer, "and 1 will

which is so pitchy dark at night that itisim;<os

?Thrue for yon, Mrs. Snllivan," said an Irishman,
who was preparing for his night's sleep. "I have

"That's the way to talk, Malnney," said Mrs. Sul

Bidding Mrs. Smllvan good night, we came out

THK WATER RTBKET DANCE HOVSHL
"Let tin go down Water street, now," eakl the
officer: "tills is about the right time to s c the
duncc nouses In full blast." When we got upon
Wj|ter street Ihe sound or mr.slc was heard irom
every hguse, aad we^ntjred one of tl?v largest
of the aanc? TlouSeB, kepi ^ fi Iiiuy \tno Is known
an "('.alius Mag." Here about a dozen half-naked
women, who made no secret of their
charms, were dancing a "breakdown" with a
number of ward roughs, drunken sat'ors and
one wild looking soldier. Mag on recog
nizing the officer Invited us to c>>mc
forward to the bar and couitcously asked me to in
dulge in a waltz with one of her young ladles, i
declined the oner, Mag excMtng me on the score of i

platform, discoursed sweet limbic, wliich stiangciy '

Menity of the dancers. You might look iu vain for |
a pretty face. Here and there might be seen a
countenance which might oncu have becu liar.d- ,
some, but years of dissipation had removed every
trace of beauty long since. "Black eyes." disfigured
countenances, swelled heads and broken nosui \
were the most prominent charactcmUc* of the ,
motley assembly, and not one redeeming feature ,
could be discovered In the appearance of any. Mag i
herself was the best looking woman in the room, |
were It not for the ponderous size of her frame.

leaving here we went Into "Johnny WsgstafTs,"
where the same scene waH being enact .'J. j

which burns like a coal of Are In his head. He
rather roughly asked me what 1 wanted and did 1 1
come for a dauce, but on seeing the officer lie made ,
an abject apology for his rudenes*, aud aeked us to I
take seats. In this place abont a month ago a
sailor was stabbed In the doorway, and his assailant
was arrested and taken from the house t he saute
night. Occurrences of this kind nr<- freqtienti n t!ie
den, and the officer on the beat is kept constantly
alert watching the place.
A lady who rejoices In the name or
"MVERVOOI, MARY ANN"
keens one of the largest dance houses in the street, !
and business was pnitlcularly lively when we ;
entered. The proprietress is buxom, ruddy and \
good-humored looking, and rows are not w tie
quent here as in some or the other honses of the |
same kind. We drank some bad soda at twenty- :
live cents a bottle, and after a chi? with "Mary
Ann,"' who Is a perfect pattern of politeness, we ,
left.
KIT BCRN'S OLD STAND.
"Now." said the officer, "let us take a look at j
Kit Burn's old stand." We went up the Street to
the one; widely known crib of tiie Ifttnous Kit,
which is now. through the exertions of some
philanthropic people, euuverted into a ho.ne lor
luilen women. Irow many ratting matches, tlog

fighters : but all this is now changed, and, with the
exception or a smalt saloon In one end or the build
ing, the walla gf wuich are atlil adorned with por
raits of ring celebrities, no vestige remains which
would mark the character of a place which was
i oace known throughout the lengtti and breadth of
the Union.
- "THE WIOKBDRST lliN."
Directly opposite is a vacant lot where John Al
len. "the wtokedeut man," used to hold forth, he
had abandoned the danee house and becomo a
Christian. 1 asked the officer what he thought of
Joha's converatoB ana he said:? 'That was the big
gest flraud'T have e?er known. The man was no
more converted than Johnny Wagstatf Is, ana he
did nothing bat impose upon the credulity of the
people. I have seen oi a Sunday evening this
whole street crowded with people who had come to
hear and see Allen? old ladles with gotd-rimmed
sp eta "les, doctors of divinity, strong Christians
from other cities? and John entertained them
all, but when the meeting wuh over 1 went to hear
him talk In Kit Burns' about the way he was fooling
the pious, and he would make signs across the way
at (he upper portion of the building in which he
held forth, the upper part being occupied by pros
titutes. Those who came to hear htm became con
taminated in time ul-o, and. John's wife became so
Jeuioua or the attention other women were paying
to her husband that she raised a row, and the
whole thing burst up. No, sir, John Allen was not
converted ; he died as he had lived, without any
change passing over him."
THE DUOKCT SHOWi
were by this time lu full fling, and groups of
drunken awn and women, noisy sailors and ward
roughs surrounded the haunts, largely drinking
the villainous stuff sold, "ten cents a drink to
sailors," live cents te roughs and prostitutes.
Every now and then un luubriate would be drag
god itway by the police, and as the night run on
the lights "grew last and farious." These hot beds
of hell are owned i>y men who, commencing on
nothing, are now worth hundreds or thousands or
dollars each, one oi them is owned by Mark l,ani
pan, who Is ft prominent supporter or Greeley apd
an Influential ward politician. He has organized a
club of 300 men and predicts an overwhelming ma
jority against Grant. Mis bucket shop was the
most extensively patronized of any we encountered
on oar rounds.
JAMKS HTHKET BAGNIOS.
We came on to James street and entered a place
called "The Flag or Our Union," a German dance
house, which Is mainly patronized by foreign sailors.
Here "poor Jack and his unlovely cove" were dis
porting themselves on the floor, the legs or the
loniale portion ol' the Inmates In the flaring gas
light looting much more substantial than elegant.
Ouo group or swarthy Italian sailors were danc
ing an Italian Jig, with wild gestures and loud ex
clamations. The oflfeer said that there is a great
dread or attacking these men, as they always go
lu groups and arc every ready with the knll'e. The
balance ol those present was made up of Nor
wegiens, Swedes and Germans, and very good
order was preserved during the time we re
mained. These German dance houses do not give
near so much trouble to the police as the Irish and
American ones on Water street, and affrays are not
so frequent. On Water street the girls are nearly all
from the upper part or the state, and go by the
names or "Buffalo No. 1," "Buffalo No. 2," and so
on. They come off the canal boats about this time
of the year, and remain In the city during the Winter
months. We leit James stieel and came up a nar
row alley to New chambers street, every man and
woman wo met on t!io way ou the lookout for some
one whom they might plunder. The oillcer assured
me that in the alley a man would be murdered for
twenty-live cents o .? the clothes ho had on his back.
CI1ATUAM STREET.
About one o'clock we came out on Chatham
street and wont into oue or two ol the dives with
which the street aoounds. Those places are in
finitely worse than the dance houses of Water and
Cherry Btrcets, and no night passes in which one
or more robberies are not committed in tliem. An
Innocent countryman is roped in and stimulated by
the presence or the society or one of the hideous
haildans, whose paint and short clothes blinds the
eyes or the loo! to these deformities, he pays
five dollars, and when his money is received
if he ventures to ask for the completion
of the compact he Is kicked, robbed aiid
thrown bleeding into the street. It is a disgrace to
tho police authorities that these places are allowed
to exist. Some tlm9 ago a movement was made
against them and many of them were clcaned out;
but thoy are again as numerous as ever, and are
constantly increasing.
As there was nothing An ther to ho seen, the offi
cer departed to the station house, ami I went
home a much wiser man than when 1 went out.

PAYING AM ELECTION BET.
A Greeley Man Carries a Grant Voter from Union
Square to Houston and Snliiran Streets for a
Wager? A Torchlight Prooearian, a Ger
man Band and a Thousand Per mm Ac
company Them? Wild Excitement
and the Greeley Man Wine.
On the day after tbe Democratic Convention
which met at Baltimore had nominated Horace
Greeley for the high oillce of President of the United
States two gentlemen bad a friendly discussion aa
to the merits of that candidate at No. 128 West
Houston street, at the house of Mr. Henry Husch.
The names of the two gentlemen were Mr. Lionel
Kcane, a cleric in the house of William G. Leask A
Co., who are importers of laces, nezt door to tbe
St. Nicholas Hotel, aud Mr. William H. Van Gleson,
proprietor of an oyster saloon, at 112 West Houston
street. General Grant had been nominated at
Philadelphia on tbe 9th of June, In convention, and
Mr. Greeley's nomination followed in July.
Mr. Van Gieson Is a Grant man,
WEIGHS ONE HUNDRED AMI) SIXTY-TWO POUNDS
and is exactly six feet blah, according to bis own
statement. He wears ? high black castor and has
a pair of small Dundreary chop whiskers. He is
of slender lrame, but has large bones, and all his
relations for eighty-five years have been in the
Oyster business. Mr. Van Gleson has a model of an
oyster schooner m his place of business.
Mr. Llonol Keane is a New Yofrker, who weighs
149 pounds, and is five feet eleven and a half inches
high. Both of the political antagonists were ex
actly twcnty-slx years of age. The mutton-chop
whiskers of Mr. Keaue were not so large or so pro
ductive as those of Mr. Van Gleson, but he had a
clear eye, a solid form and a determined look.
Mr. Van Gieson backed Grant very enthusiasti
cally, and declared that he would be elected. Mr.
Kcane believed that Mr. Greeley would be our next
President, and was willing to give odds on his
election.
"Don't let us bet money on tbe election or we
will lose oor votes, " said Mr. Keane.
"Well, 11 you are satisfied, I am," replied Mr.
Van Gie3on. "What will we doV"
"Let us do Bomc tiling; let us wheel the man who
loses up Broadway after the election."
"No," said Keane, "if I lose I will carry yon on
my back from the house of Mr. Henry Husch, 123
West Houston street, to Union square, and I will
take you arouud the statue of Lincoln three times
and then down Broadway to 123 West Houston
street again. We must have a band of music and a
torchlight procession to accompany as, so that we
wc can havo some good fun.''
,L"raJlV? be,*teB 1 wni carr7 a loaded mus
ket ki my Hhlrt sleeves up and down before
Husch's door for three hours, with a loaded knap
sack lull of bricks," said Van Gleson.
THE AiiHKEMENT WAS HAT?,
and last evening the bet was paid. Mr. Keane.
who lelt bad that Horace Greeley had been
defeated, was ready last evening to pay
his forfeit. A great crowd began to assemble at
l?l Houston street, and Henry Husch had all be
could do to serve lager to the thirsty mass. Keaue
was the first man to make his appearance, and he
looked cool, quiet and calm, like Billy Kd wards be
fore a fight. Van Gieson came soon I
after, and the Heraid reporter Interviewed
him briefly. He wanted to bet every wav
"hundred to twenty-five that Kcane could not
carry him, or a hundred to twenty-flve that Keane
would carry him." Then people began to look (or
the German band, who had been at the soloon, bat
could not be found. Van Gieson ate four ftries early
in the morning, and at two o'clock Keane
rph0n ro:i2* hpe!> beans and mince
pie. The crowd was swelling all the time
and soon the people In the street saw them
coming. They had walked all the way from Third
street and Third avenue to save the five ccnts car
fare on the Houston street cars.
A Brfi FCRNITTRE TRUCK
was filled with oaken chairs, and the crowd nonred
in. A man In the truck bore a large American
flag. A barouche was ready, with a driver, who
never laughed while the jonrney was being made.
The German hand got Into the truck, and the
barouche lollowed up Iloustou street to fcouth
Fifth avenue, and through Amity street to Broad
way, with Keane, Van Oleson, Henry Husch and
the Hekai.d reporter sitting together. A vouiur
gentleman named Andrews carried a permission
from Mr. SuiK^iutendent Kelso to "iorm
a procession ten feet in width in
side of the curb," which he showed
to every one, at the head of a mass of one thousand
persona. The truck with the baud of music reached
?ho?2?ia??e'tJ bnnd pIajm? crasy waltzes all
10 J 10 amusement of the people on the
sldou alks and in tlio windows, who could not un
arr'v who believed it to be a circus just
A' rived at Union square, some solemn ceremonies I
were performed. The barouche was driven arouud
the Lincoln statue twice, and Keane stood ur and
took on ins overcoat, which he passed to a man
witn a romantic goatee to hold. Then Van Geison
took off hla cloak and frockcoat and vest, and
Art THK BAND PLAYED
he appeared sunUlng up in the baronehe with
Kcane 11 mid the cheers of the larjre crowd the
moving 01 Chinese lanterns and the blaze of' fire
works. solemnly Van Geison cried out. "I want
another drink," aud Keane answered, as he de
scended to shoulder his poiilical antagonist. '-No
I won t let you do mat. I'll be blamed il I am Volne
to carry a walsney distillery down Broadway. You
have got enongb all eady." (Cheers.)
Then Keane said, "1 want that surcingle to tint
around and over my hips," and a filcnd brought
him ajcath?m belt, which he clasped over his hlns
Then he stooped his back and Van Gieson, with an
Inebriate shout, lei^etf across his back, having

a moment before. The nroce^sfoil was formed, tbe

never probably be seen again in our greatest street
People came out of stores and buildings to shout

M i YOU O'NEILL'S COUP.
The Convicted Police Commissioner* of
Jersey City Appealing to the Courts
for the Pay of the Police Force?The
Mayor Will Not Yield an Inch.
The men who were tried, convicted and sen
tenced for misappropriating tbe public funds
entrusted to their keeping for the Polico Depart
ment In Jersey Citv arc becoming once more
arrogant. When Judge Bcdle extended to them
unlooked-for mercy by withholding a sentence
which would consign them to the State rrlson, It
was expcctcd that for the sako of decency they
would hide their heads and think often on
sackcloth and ashes. Mayor O'Neill refnsed
to sign any warrants ordered by them on the ground
that they are Illegally in possession and that the
Commissioners appointed by Governor Parker con
sult', te the only legal Police Hoard,
Now, however, the convicted Commissioners
are making u bold move to regain their grasp
on Hie public treasury. They have served
notic* on Mayor O'Neill to appear before
tho Hipr-me Court In Trenton and show
c ui.- j wi,y lie should not sign the warrants. Asa,
test case they make mo of Sergeant Bobbins, an*'
excellent and worthy officer, but who becomes the !
scapegoat in this proceeding. The question will be
argued at the present term and the decision will be
awaited with imxletv.
Mayor O'Neill still stands by the people,
and will not yield an Inch. When the pa
pern were served upon him he quietly re
marked, "What sha'l I do about this?" then
laid the papers aside, aud attended to his
business yesterday as collMtMly as If nothing had
occurred. The excessive coolness of the proceed
ing 011 the part of men. who are debarred from glv
Ing evlnenen 111 any Court of the Htate, created
much comment in every quarter of the city.

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
JUiwl BUatr of th? OflMn' Vnio* at
DelmmWfHpceeh by Mr. Charlti
O'Coaior am Manlclpal Parltr-Kur. H.
W. Beeehcr on (he Hcitanlilc CUii-A
Pl?UMt STMiBg.
The annual meeting of the Officers' Union of the
Mercantile Library Association was held last even
lag at Delmonico's. There was a numerous
company of present and past officers of
the Association, and among the Invited guests
were Peter Cooper, Rov. Dr. ormlston, ltev. J. Cot
ton Smith, Edmund Yates, Mr. W. EL Hurlbnrt, Mr.
Isaac H. Bailey, Ethan Allen and others. The din
ner waa in Delmonico's usually perfect style, and
having received due attention, Mr. Daniel F. Apple
ton, who officiated as Chairman, made a few brief
remarks, and at once introduced Mr. Charles
O'Conoras the first speaker In response to the toast
of the "City of New York."
MB. O' CONOR'S SPEECH.
Mr. O'Conor was received with tremendous cheer
ing, and after making a comparison between Now
York as it was when he knew It first, City years
ago, and its present greatness, he went on to say
that in the perceptions of mankind America was
the United States, and the United States was the
State of New York, and the State of New York was
the metropolis. This was the grand central point
upon which all eyes were turned, and iu propor
tion as in physical, intellectual ana moral great
ness we rose to the standard that became men
who represented the great Republic, Just
in that proportion would America be honored
in the estimation of mankind. Our general
character in these respects had been good in the
past, and yet It did seem as a consequence of our
great prosperity, and the great multitude of our
occupations, that the matter of government had
been for a long term of years In a large degree
neglected or overlooked by the mercantile classes.
Overlooked by them, it of course came into the
hands of the
LEADING POLITICIANS.
Demoralization crept in, slowly at first, but In
steadily increasing progression until it reached
its climax in tiic lilag in power in 1S71. Then,
whatever might be the ftict, it was announced to
the world that the Legislature was not pure, and
that its administration was marked by pecu
lation and dishonesty. Not only did vice
exist, in estimatiou at least, in the departments of
the State and city governments, but in that also
which had been so pure, so highly estimated, so
honored in the parent State for centuries, which
hail come to us pure and been by us purely sus
tained down to about that period? he meaut our
glorious judiciary. Even that was said to be stained
by the reception of bribes, as it was certainly
DI&HOKOREI)
by the exhibition of vulgar praticc. All this was
in the year 1871. Uut the mercantile class? the oU
spring, he might say, of the Mercantile Library
Association? having their attention called to the
enormities that were being perpetrated, rose in
their might and smote the serpent. He writhed in
hia agony and struggled to sustain his power for
twelve months after tne blow, but finally he had
irank prostrate, as ho hoped, forever. Indecorum
would not soon appear again on the bench : un
fairness and partiality frim evil motives and bad
appliances would, he trusted, henceforward, for
a long period at least, be wholly unknown in
that department. Of course, in expressing these
ideas, he spoke only in reference to meu. lie did
not regard them as a political assemblage, and he
was, therefore, speaking only to the great question
of honor and good faith, and good government and
good morals and purity In administration. Upon that
subject they were ail of one opinion. They might
differ, perhaps, in some degree in reference to re
cent conflicts, nut he would elose his remarks by a
single statement. He hailed in recent events a
disposition to strike down all applicants to public
favor who wore either unworthy or were exposed
to any just suspicion. Ho saw, and he was re
joioed to flee,- many happy circumstances connected
with the recent controversy. One ol them should
be the subject of a sentiment, which he would ven
ture to present. It waa certainly
A MATTER OF DELIGHT
to all honest men that the great State of New York
having to nominate a Chief Magistrate, each party
selected a man whose antecedents, whose life,
walk and conversation were unmarked by aught
I tuat could even excite a suspicion of moral
impurity, and that in point of moral Integrity
eaoh held the higiiest rank. lie therefore now
proposed the health of John A. Dix and Francis
Kernan, "endowed alike with integrity, in morals
above reproach; they were fit rivals for high sta
tion ; we trust they have Inaugurated a new era in
candidacy. "
This toast was drunk with enthusiasm, aud,
coupled with that of "The state of New York,"
was responded to by Mr. William E. Dodge.
Mr. William H. SMrrir revponded to the toast of
"England and America.'' aud alluded to the great
ness of the Republic, the order that prevailed at
the last election, ana other pleasant features of
Amerloan life. His remarks were greeted with
great enthusiasm, but were interrupted by the
entrance of the Rev. H. W. Beecher, who was
hailed with three hearty cheers and a tiger, all the
company standing and evincing by the earnest
ness of their cheers their utter d sbellei ol' the
recent hideous scandal. Mr. lieecher looked worn,
but railed as Mr. Tsnac H. Bailey advanced to meet
him and led him up to the guests' table.
Rev. Dr. ORMrgTON responded to "California,"
which he had recently visited.
Mr. Henry Wakd Beecukr then spoke, but
not f any particular toast. His remarks
specially alluded to the importance of
tne mercantile class, which, he claimed,
was the best m the community. We had
already seen what money and learning had done
abroad for intellectual cultivation and for manners.
But wc Americans were now undertaking to do
for forty millions what in other countries was
only done for the upper ten thousand, The time
was coming when, from the top to the
bottom of society, all would be ele
vated to tho highest standard of morality,
virtue and intellect. And this would have to be
chiefly done by the merchants of the future, from
whom he hoped the highest tilings.
Other toasts were drunk, and the company sepa
rated at a late hour, after having i?j>cut a very
p J cowan t evening.
