culated to mislead those who have not had their
names placed on the assessors list We stated tnat
two days still remained for that purpose our atten-
tion has been called TO the sections OF the Registry
act which bear upon this subject.
By the 31st section OF the act the canvassers meet

october 2) to register those who can produce tax
receipt and those intending to vote on age.

charge OF dragging Harry c. Thompson, citizen OF

Policeman Pidgeon, Of the Fourth district will be
before Alderman Betlerthis afternoon for violently
assaultiDg MIR. Start, member Of the Sixth Ward
Executive Committee, while in the room where the
assessments were being made for the ward. A war
rant had been issued for this beautiful preserver Of
the peace, and in accordance with custom, it was
shown TO the Chief Of Police, but the policeman did
not put in his appearance at the hour agreed upon
| this morning The warrant was then served upon
| the derelict functionary
morning contemporary, in addition to the above
charges, stated that Mr.. Pidgeon, some time ago,
arrested for rioting on the cars, imprisoned
| in New Jersey, and subsequently pardoned. This
should be sufficient for an investigation by Mayor

| number of country members of the Legislature
were seen on the streets this morning. and this fact
has given rise to number OF rumors, one of which,
and the which seems to be generally credited, is
that it is in relation to the defeat OF the Metropolitan
Police bill last winter. Madame Rumor also states
| that an assessment has been MADE on the police
force for election and other purposes, and many be-
leve that the other purposes include the "divvy on
| the Police bill,
