Tho lsat decluion of tho Judge gave the olty authorities until Monday to Present amonded pleas, and on the reception of these pleas ty based the hopos of tho present City Government. Thoro remaina but two courses for the city's lawyers to pureuo, Thoy may elther join issuo, or may make roply setting up new facts, Judge Dickoy, although he hav not taken any interest in the case, thinks that the latter course will be taken. ‘The Judgo states that tho fret and wecond pleas hhayo boon demurred to, the third ploa ‘has boca hold good by Judge Farwell, but he has goue further and bay siso old thre out of the six repli as good alo, ‘Tlie will of form tho question at it~ the cane uow on hearing. Aw for aue the replication on the question of minority representation, for inetance, if taken on inwue, tho city must deuy it, or’ they may set op new facts regarding 1¢ which they claim to have in their posseemou, Tho first two pleas will of course bo abandoned. If oither of these ropli- cations is decided agaiuut the city, the city's ‘attorneys have no doubt but that the Supreme Court will decide that all the facts sot forth in them ary merely collateral iesues, and have uo bearing on the validity of the oluction, Oh thin idea they base all their hopes. ‘The objections wade by the Cltizone' Avsocis- tion they claim ere purely tooliical and formal, If tho efection is held to be invalid it is not be- cause a majority of legal yotos wore not cast in favor of it, nor because of the alleged fraudu, neither of which outer into the case on hearing, Dut beeauao the mannor of presenting the mat- ter for olection was not formal, and because the technical changea in poiling places were made by tho Council shortly bofore tho day of elec- tion.

To the Biitor of The Chicazo Tribune: Citcaao, July 30.—An article entitled ' Pint Contradictions,” in to-day's paper, gives intor- views with Detective Dixon and Pawabroker Langloy, whoroin thoro aro some atatemonts I desiro to correct. Dixon saya: ‘About tro weeks afterward a man whom I did not know camo in and asked about it, and I told bim all T know." Now, tho fact is, I called at Mr, Dixon's oftice in company with Commissioner Hono; not finding bim in, I sat down and waited about throo-quarters of an hour, but, aa he did not ap- pear, 1 could wait for him no longer. A day or two after Leailod again, but he was ‘not in.” Somo weokaattor Dr. Fallows visited Chicago, and 1 porsuaded him to accompany mo to the office of Mayor Colvin, which ho did, I explained to the Mayor that, on the lat of April, the Doctor'a hone in. Bloomington was entored in the night by barglara and his watch stolen; that, having notified the police in Bloomington of the theft, tho Doctor let the matter rest with thom; and that sbortly after a letter came from Detective Dixon offoring to return tho watch if he would ay £55, ‘Tho lottor is now in my possosrlon, ‘Yhe Mayor oxplained that this was the usual way of doing such business. Iasked him if thore was no way by which this watcn might be recoyorod without paying cho detectives $45. Ho repliod that ho did not soo how it could be done, and entored upon a discursive argumont to show why it would bo bad policy for the city authorl- ties to insist upon it. 2He, howovor, auvised that wo should sco Dixon. Wo accordingly went over to his office, but again that gontioman was ‘' not in." Ar, Dixon gave we noluformation about this matter; never gave mo tho name of the party who had tho watch, nor did bo givo this informa tion to any other porson In the interests of Dr. Fallows. ‘Tho aubjoct was again agitated by a tramp calling on the Doctor and offaring to got his wateh for $65. ‘Tno Doctor then called again at tho dotoctive's offico whon Dizon disclosed the namo of a pawabroker who did have the watch, but ho thought by that tuna it was dis- posed of. As to Langloy’s story about monte nien baving won this wateb, it isso absurd on its face that no roply is necessary, ‘Thia man olaims Lo has ‘done nothing hois ashamed of” agit wos in bis ‘line of bLneinoss.
