If tho llepublican Leog- islnture, which I hold responsiblo for tho fu- crenyo, ad passed that clauso of THE MAYON'S BILL giving tho Ohlef Lxceutive of tho city powor to vato any ltom in tho Appropriation bill, Mayor Colvin would have saved the city much monoy. Teportor—Did ;nn make auy effort to have such a lnw prasod Mr, Hosing—Yes. I went to Hpringflold be- fore the Mayor's bill expired, aud, ftor von- aultation with _Mr. Rountreo, & Dbill wes propared to that effect, bub sufliciont attention was not given to it to have it _pussed, Attor Ald. Dixon's olection to the Prosidoncy of the Council 1 went down agnip and spent two dngs on tho floor of the Semate, whoro tho bitl had been intvoduced, to gob it passod. I can preve that by o dozon gontlemen who live hore ; ut tho Chicago nowspapors, with the excoption of the Staats-Zetung, pitched into mo for trying to oust Dixon, which' 1 hnd not the romotast fden of doing. Aud that Ropiblican Legislature was foreed, by the Chicago Fs\\}mrn to defeat tha hill, Tho Jorrnal was especially abusive, and_now it atiacks mo, aud noys Lam zesponsible for tho oxtra appropriation. Roporter—Will not tho course of the Peopla's Aldermen hurt them politically ¢ Mr, esing—Hsrdly, Thoy have made tho trxon Jower than flm{ woro undor Mr, Medill's administration—2 milla lower; and for that roa- son thoy havo somo ground to stand upon whon thoy go before thoir constituonts. But I thiuk thoro ought to bo & different wodo of govprning our cities, The Aldormon should bo clacted on the goneral ticket, and districts dond away with, Or toore should bo two Boards of Aldermon ono appointed by the Judges of the Conrts, nn the othor olecied. Thon they could bo con- trolled, 88 ane would ba o eheck npon the other, aud If* tho Mayor, who T moro roptation ot stake than an Alderman, could veto any purt of the Appropriation bill, a great deal of ‘mischicf could bo prevented. s A D “ LORD GORDON GORDON.” The Last of o Sensution of 1872-Joy Goulp Giety o Juggment by Deraulp for $40,000 Aguinst the Mock Mills topai ¥ u the New York Herald, July 2.
