HNlE ALDINE, while issued with all the

periodicals. 1t is an elegant miscellany Of
pure, light, and graceful literature, and
collection OF pictures, the rarest specimens
of artistic skill, in black and white AL

fresh pleasure 20 its friends, and the real
value and beauty OF THE ALDINE will DO

Ameetng Of the officers, executive boards and
election district committees Of the several ward
councils OF political reform held last evening IN
the medical college, corner OF Fourth avenue and
Twentythird street. Mr.. william ii. Nelson pre-
sided. There were about two hundred and fifty
persons present.
Mr.. DEXTER A. HAWKINS was the first speaker.
He discussed at great length the new charter,
favoring it in every particular. He also claimed
that those whom he was tlen addressing were act
ing In conjunction with the Committee OF Seventy.
A convention has been called, he said, to meet at
Chickering Hall, which win be composed Of seventy
gentlemen and who will present ticket that, II
elected will do honor to the city. The nominations
would not be given to either professional politicians
or professional offce-holders.
Mr. classy, Of the Eighteenth ward, followed.
He took the ground that the Council OF P0nticai
Reform had no right to make nominations, AZ their
delegates had not been chosen for That purpose.
Mr. DAY of the same ward thought the body had
a right to make nominations. During the discus
sion several decidedly compromising compliments
were bestowed upon the Committee OF Seventy.

Saturday night party OF twelve fifteen disguised
men went to house occupied by colored people,

A word to our Republican friends through
out the districts yet to be registered. Do not
think that because the election Of our ticket

It Is unnecessary for you to register your

great Importance. The Republican party of
the District should show to the people Of the
country, by the majority 1t will roll up for its
candidate, that we, the wards Ol the nation,
are In full accord with the great party OF the
country, aud In swelling the majority for
General Chapman, the pronounced adherent
OF Grant and Wilson, We will prove that this

IL THE REPUBLICAN yesterday We printed
the amount of assessment for the work of
paving with wood Pennsylvania avenue, from
Fifteenth street west to Rock creek. The
great bulk OF the cost falls upon the General
Government, and will be settled by It, The
railroad company has good round sum TO
pay, while the intersections Of streets arc
charged with nearly $4,000, The total as
scssment against the property along the line
Is S7I6O6.67, and when figured down we
learn that the sum per trout foot to be paid
by property-hOldcrs Is tribe over "a, about
one fifth the sum paid by tue property
on the Avenue, between First aud Fifteenth
streets, for the pavement laid under the dlrec-
ton VI the commission appointed by Con-
gress. THIS speaks well for tho manage
mcut Of affairs by the Board of Public
Works, and does not look much like "plun-
dering" or "robblug' the poor tax payers.
We learn that the prOperty-hOlders along the
line Of the work aro delighted with the i'm
provcmcut and It's small cost, and are coming
up with alacrity to pay their assessments.

their opinion of how the country they per-

that he ordered the offensive Quaker hat re-
moved. OF course, here Is q row In the city
