| NEW YORK, Sept. Is The proceedings in
| the suit OF John Foley and others VS.. Cliy
| Government, was resumed in the supreme
| Court this morning. Bartlett read the affida
| Wits of Tweed. O'German read the second al
| hdavit of Cweed's denying generally the al e.
cations in the complaint, especially that In-
gersoll was ever his agent in matters OF coni-
plant, or that tue expenses of his department.
were ever in excess Of what the law allowed.

papers before the court in behalf OF piaihtns,
said Foley is a resident and tax payer ana
asks relief against defendants allegations
Plaintiffs 10 fact admitted that some OF the
defendants no doubt will come into court a.iu
swear in contradiction to certain statements
in the complaint, but every mater ial aliegation
remains sustained We have substantlated
from Mayor Halls own reply that the cIy an anu
county debt has been increased from S3U 90
$50, when Hall was elected, to Sl06 o9o,ooo' on
the 31st of July ult Srahan expressed the
belief that Tweed was himself both the n T.
Transcript and the Printing Company. IL was
very unsatisfactory to have allegations OF Such
character against city officials tried on mere
affidavit, and the plaintiff asked tor contihu
auCe of the injunction until all matters were
fairly and sqnarely disclosed. Strahan. pro
ceeded at length with his argument, I'D the
course of which he said the only answer IN
equity and justice to their allegations was the
production of vouchers, which conveniently
disappeared at the critical momeat OF those

which he maintained that Foley could have no
legal standing in The court, the act under when
he sued having been declared unconstitutional
aud void, hat Mayor Halls official record was
above reproacb, and that 90 UNAUTHORIZED Is

Guiding his argument the court adjourned I'M
