We would add, that the steamer Pacific was

cTL.-The Joint committees appointed 10 inves,i-
gate the charges made by the Chief Engineer Of
the Fire Department against the Common Council
will meet tins evening, at seven o'clock. in No

business which they have been appointed 10 per-
form. We understand tha. il Is that portion
Of the report Of the Chief Engineer that re-
lates TO the bell ringers which will occupy the
attention Of the committee at the meeting this
afternoon. A number Of witnesses have been
summoned by the Chief Engiaeer, for the purpose
OF suhstanatng his charges in that respect. 1t is
expected that each and all of them will be in at
tendance, without fail.
II is to be hoped that the investigation will no,
be conducted with closed doors, as was originally
decided by the Common Council committee. Ii
,he Common Council are innocent of the charges
alleged against them, the more public the iavesti-
cation 10, the better and any auemp, TO give Il
star chamber character will be- aiken as evidence
of the truth ofthe charges. The public demand to
know all relating TO this matter, and they will not
tolerate any investigation with closed doors II Is
quite immaierial, however, whether the committee
st with closed doors or not. We have received
several communications, stating that Mr. Carson
would make n capital Mayor, and, a. he is a
blacksmith by tssdc, and no doubt a irst rate
workman, lac would, after his election, draw the
nails, and open the doors Of this and other abuses
10 a scientific manner, with his big hammer. We
live in strange era, and II would not surprise ss
at all IL Alfred Carson, fireman, were the neat
