City IupRovEMEEts.—We see by the pro- | ceedings of the Board of Aldermen at its last session that a majority of the owners of prop- erty on Tenth street, between L and M, ha petitioned for leave to pave that section grith | ‘wood. using the “Stowe Foundation Pave. | ment”—a specimen ef which has been fd at | the intersection of Eleventh street with Penn- sylvapia avenue, where it has proved an ex- cellent and durable process. Some opposition, ‘we understand, was made to this project, be- cause a single property bolder was said to be | ¢0 poor to pay his share o! the expense, or be- cause a sewer bad not been Inid in the locality. So important and necessary an improvement Ought not to be delayed on such pretexis. Jae ‘Protesting property Bolder can realize, on sale: | Zor his property much more 1m addition to | 3s present value than his outiny for paviag; | ‘Bnd surely those who have so long prevented the putting down of a sewer sbould not seek to ‘Wield a two-edged sword, and now oppose the Paving because there ts no sewer. Besides. | ‘Private enterprise has already pat down sewer Pipes, and secured the requisite drainage to | all who have wisked or may hereafter desire to avail themselves of its advantages. Let these public spirited petitioners be per- Miltted to accomplish their undertaking. The Capitol will be removed from our city long be- | ore sewers and pavements will be isid where ‘they are reqa:red, with the consent and volun- | tary co-operation of property owners, if such objections as the above are suecesstully urged. Teduction in the commutation rates on its new branch line between New York and Newbaerz { That passengers are now carried each way—a distance of over sixty miles—for the trifling | som of twenty-four cents. Before this new | Foute was opened the regular fare, by boat or | cars on the Hudson River Railroad, was sixty | cents each not am extravagant price, one ‘would think, considering the distance. So amuch for sharp competition. But, to preven extortion where competition does not exist, the | Legisiature of New York has fixed the rates of Passenger tare on all the railways in that Scate ats limit not exceeding two cents and a half, per mile during the winter months, and two | cents per mile during the remainder of the | year.

There was also @ personal spat in the con. vention between Mir. Svewart of Alabama and Gov. Pile ot New Mexico over the “lost cause,” and between Gov. Pile and John Hogan of Missouri, pos the poiat whether it was policy to make the question of removal exclusively a ‘western one. Altogether the capital wheelers, though few ™m Bumber, proved anythieg bet a happy family. si Tas Orry Hatt InvEstidérion—It seems to be understood that the committee of the Councils will report to-night exonerating the Mayor from the charges made by ex-Uom- missioner Crane. The public, we believe, is quite prepared to endorse such a report. At any rate we bope the committee are ready to make a report of some kind, that the subject ‘May be disposed of, and a stop put to the heavy expense to which the Corporation is subjected by the apparently interminabie investigation. The bill for phonographic reporting slone amonnts to about ® thousand dollars, we hear, already. We can see nothing im the testimony to show thatthe Mayor acted otherwise than with a ‘View to what he deemed the best mterests of the Corporation, both in the matter of giving out the street contracts, and im making the ad- vances customary upon work executed, upon the certificate of the Surveyor that the amount of work done justified the advances. P. S.—We hear that the committee will meet at 7 o'clock this evening to determine the ques. || 1% tion when the report shall be made. The story telegraphed trom Mississippi a few days ago, that Mr. Dent was held to be the only legal candidate for Governor of that ‘State, because, as & was alleged, the disabilities of General Aicorn, the radical candidate, had no? been removed, is not worth much in the | for light of the tacts of the case. By reference to the act of Congress approved July 23, 1868, it will be seen that «all legal and political disa- bilities imposed by the United States” upon Mr. Alcorn and other ditizens of the Southern States therein named «in consequence of par- ticipation in the recent rebellion,” were form- ally and regularly removed. Some other rea- son for the election of Mr. Dent must be brought forward. it is now stated that the reason why the Mex- ican and Peravian listers were not invited to | te recent diplomatic dinner given by the Secre. tary of State—a circumstance whigh haselicited | considerable newspaper comment—is the fact that they bave omitted to call on the wife of | the Secretary, as official etiquette required them to do. . 8. ao. cupiversery meeting pext =F MEERANCE—GOQD GaManrt, i.
