THE MATsELL COMMITTEE ~ THE BOARD OF ALDER
Of Aldermen last evening II was moved that the re-
port be printed and the Committee discharged; IL
understood that the COmmi.tee expected 10 hold
another session to-day The motion was carried, viva
voce, and q division was called for.
Aid. WILLIANsos thought that the Committee had
done their duty and we had bad enough of it:
Aid. BRIGGs said that be hoped they would be al
lowed to travel little further. There was great ex-
ertiop MADE AT the last citing OF the Board to dig
charge the Committee, and he had prepared partial
report az he upderstOor the sxertion would be
made that evening They had found some light in the
darkness, ard he hoped they would be alo we'd to
continue the investigation.
Aid. Ely did not ike the idea of shutting or
Committee just when they bes an to see some pros
pect of accomplishing their object. He could think
other reason for this than that certain parties,
who exceedingly anxious To At the Committee
should be discharged believed that they Themselves
were about to be brought before il. Why else need
they interpose tie wss glad that the Aliermsn
from the Fourth moved that this report be printed.
He thought il womb ba interesting snd smuaiu..
AID. NHLI.ssOS said that he hsd no other motive
in making the motion at the last meeting thsn the
he gave at that time-hat this Committee wa' bring
ing ridoule upon the Bosrd. lie kneF nothing OF
this Committee excep, what he had read in the daily
pspsrs sid il certainly seemed 70 him tba' the pro-
ceecipgs we're b. I.eans crtd'able TO this Board
lie did rot believe that the party for whose especial
did not believe that Americ party could indorse
the proceed g of that Committee, for he sssf
cd that ali the political capital that could be made
out of it would be made by tn. other prty He ~ss
satisfied that it would make this Board the laughing.
stock of the town. Nothing else could come on, OF
X but weekly insta nent Of Amusement 10 the City.
Ii he thought anything was to be learned by this he
would Dot object
AID TUCKER thought that if the Board understood
that BY the next steamer acartifed copy of the parish
record of the Chiefs birth would probably arrive, the
Committee would be allowed 10 COON.
Aid. ELY said that il assuming considerable of
the power of prophecy for man 10 give his opinion
that nothing could result from investig .on which
was not yet made. If The people got ouly weekly
entertainment let them have that. He had no doubs
that the Alderman in spite of his engrosing business
read every word Of the evidence. A. to the odinm
that might be brought upon this Board, he did not
fear that Ii the COMMITTEES should act 10 a nisrepu-
table manner il would be only TO Themselves; the
public were not such set Of dumbheads as to attach
il 10 the Aldermen The public would at least give
that Committee the credit of perseverance, in the pur
suit of knowledge under difficulties. He certainly
desired that the Committee might have an opportunity
10 60 3D. and be could not dvest hin-e OF the belief
thst there was uIcer this bag of meal big cat when
gentlemen were SO anxious to shut oil the lnvesti-
CATION.
The vote was then TAKEN and the motion lost: IL
10 2. So the sharp.sighted Alder men will have an
opportunity of continuing their scrutiny this after
neon. The Board then sdjourned to Thursday.
