the city charter, which, IN this respect. is Il
transcript q! the Constitution, the power re-
posed in the Mayor to correct abuses. by the
suspension or removal OF individuals. is con-
lined 70 "QtHCcrS." and the charter and ordi-
nanccs OF the city define who are "ctHccrs."
In the @aS department there are but two
the superintendent and the Inspector A.
In the superintendent. see no caliSc which
would justify his removal, and no useful pur-
pose which could be served hy his sll>pcu-
sion. I,c late Inspector has been removed,
anu tic present Inspector, having been ap-
pointed hy the Committee on Jiyht with full
knowledge uf the ci,lrrrS against him. I am
bound Ia presume that thcv--ihc apuoinsing
