A PEEP BEHIND THE CURTAINS.

We gladly publish the communication Of
Supervisor S,oddard, giving the unrecorded
history Of the Sickles nonsense All the
information the ARGUS had was obtained
from the official record, as furnished by the
clerk, and that it seems, is very imperfect.
We are gladSupervisor Stoddard has lifted the
curtains and given the public a peep behind
the scenes. OF course the Argos would
not have said "the excused members sat
dumb in their seats, had it known thatthey
said anything. But neither their talk or
their opinions find any place on the record
and, for all the uses ofhistory, they might
as well have remained dumb. The record
shows no opposition to the SickIes ntamy.
/, seems to be true, however, that, first the
chairman tried, privately, to coax SickIes to
withdraw his nonsense, and failed in thu
effort. Why did he 90 whining and begging
Sick.es to withdraw the thing2 Why didn't
