Upon the arrival Of Mr. Ashme sd, Mr. Lssliss coun-
eel, MIR. Graham produced the affidavita which
read in court.
Alderman Tuomey makes two complsirts. In the
FIRST Alderman Tuomey charges Mr.. Lsslie with lbe
in publishing in bis paper certain carcsturo which
represents him Tuomey as boisterous Irshmsn, or
board Of ths steamship Eticsson, with a bottle o.
whisky in one hand and shillelsA in the other, with
! the words beIesth, If catch The TRIBUNE repor
| ter, III throw him overheard, God d-n him."
The lbelous matter sst forth in Alderman 1uomsys
affidavit in tie second complaint is a. follows, which
msttsI he alleses was published in Mr. Lesiies news
p,psr:
am Examination of tie Srnl-MiN Trode--we
purpose giving breathing time TO the righteous, Ami
able ana ustwotby Aldermen aud Couocimen Tuo-
mey, Tucker, Reed and Cross. This unboly brother
hood combined for the purpose OF whltewsshins cor
,uption have hardly from the effect of Dur
mid castg cation Of sst week. We will therefore, 10
consideration Of the extreme heat Of the weather
give them partial rest advising them to reflect upon
the degraded position they occupy before the
Lity, and strive, by speedy ard radical reform, to
struggle back within the pale Of decent society, that
honest Inen may not be ashamed to say they have
| Known them"
Second CAarge.-"N ever New-Yofk Alderm an

seanst tie rampant rowdyism of our swiI. stable.
wbitewashirg Alderman Nike Tuomey.",
Third Charge" The poor, libelsd Alderman cut q
most sorry figure His uneasy and p ain
Iy betokeIed that he felt he asmskng fool OF hn-
SELF at tie time the knowledge that the public
feeling was entirely against him, urged him TO make
some chow Of an attempt to whitew wash bic own char
acter, and assume virtue If he had it not. We give
full report Of the hearing in another column, and
shall not therefore enter irto details. 1t was, how
f,rp -. tla ha zss nf n
face tor LsuIa Keene. Alderman Reed, profession 81
butcher, eynpstbizpg with the much sulierng
| Tourney gave him the countenance Of his presence,
and verify they were pair to look upon these prec-
GUS iepreee natives in the councils OF our CITY,.
"After putting in biz compleot Tuomey was asked TO
identity TIE figure in the picture which he supposed
was made to resemble him. The poor fellow, feeling
the ridiculous position he was in, selected the worst
locking Of all the figures saying that it looked like
| him from tie shoulders up but he utterly ignored
the body aud lower hubs Yes, Tuomey ack oow.
LEGGED to the head and shoulders but disowned the
| rest. Every felt that in this scknow ledgment
Tuoney betrayed very moderate estima ion Of his
own personsl beauty. Every face wore broad grn,
and even the iLared innocent himself got up grim
emile, though re felt the joke, but would not see
| that the iest was against himself.
FourM Charge.-" This terminated the proceed
| iDgs for tie present and Aid. Tdomoy slopsd gan
ty out of tie room with world of Importance in his
| " expressive" counteDarce"
In ADDITION to the above is small csrcsture Of the
two Aldermen, in which Their nasal peculisrtes are
most outrsgeously msgnifed.
The following the chsrgss, as get forth in Aid
ReeGs sffdsvit Of complaint:
| First C6arge.-"Mr. Alderman Reed has taken the
full swing Ct biz privileges; shall help hi along,
| slthough guess here his swinging propensi.
ties will lard him. We will help him along uotil his
Know Nothing friends will be more heartily and
thoroughly sick and ashamed than they are now, OF
assocating with such Pettitogging scamp as the
svill-milk indoIsng and chsracterl lbeling Alderman
| l.. Hausop Reed"
Second Charge" The SniU.naik Question:
| "Our readers are doubt aware through the daily
| press that these immaculate Aldermen Tourney and
Reed, whose hides those Of the rhincceros when
the wheel Of public opinion goes over them YET are
tlir knned as to vince at the weight of lively and
iuroceIt comic Illustrated in our paper representing
three worthy whitewasheIs at work. There would be
no greater proof Of the esp fitting them than
attention of the public as they put it upon their
own heads. We have wish to disturb taeir
own self.imnolaton which partskes more of the Ro.
man QuiLtius and Cuitus than the Alderman, and
have therefore cEeeriuDy met the question BY giving
bail TO defend cur case. We had however, scarcely
hoped they w0ud have so completely played in.o our
hsIds and we can only compare them TO the swine 10
Scripture, who, seized with madness, precipitsted
II fenseves into the raging sea, there 10 be swallowed
up alive instead of being bssted and roasted, and
served UP as dsh Of pork and beans with the apple
sauce and public ridicule.
:" Mr.. +. Harrison Reed was the first to venture
Ito the field, and with that contempt of common
so tInly Aldernanic. with lips still reekng with the
most arooious ibes upon Mr.. Leslie. be declared that
| cur portrait representing man with most Je wish
and IevotiDg countensnce was true and exact like
ness of himself, and actually acknowledged receiving
$50 for whtewashng the modern Augesn swill sbles.
| Truly Hercules must be thoroughly ashamed of his
Gotham desceLdsnt.
MIR Tuoney then took courage at what Mr.. Tucker
calls the xslorous doings of Mr.. Reed iushes after
hls bt arced leader, and makes affidavit. TO the
