MINORITY REPORTS.

The majority of the committee claim
that the report of Mr. Larkin was surprise
and that from the previous conferences and
conversations they had no reason to expect
it. The minority report had one thing in
its form, it was outspoken and made re-
Communications, thing which it is parti-
cularly the province and duty of commit
tee to do, but it certainly was the right of
the majority of the committee to know
whether or not minority report was to be
submitted. The report of Mr.. Larkin bears
evidence of careful preparation and the
copy presented to the council shows on its
face that it is not an original, but copy.
There are alterations that would never be
made in the same shape were this not SO. The
right of one member to make an adverse
report is undoubted and can not for a mo-
ment be disputed; but the majority are ma
nifestly right in their claim that such re
port should have been submitted to them,
or at least they should have had knowledge
of its existence. The report of Mr.. Larkin
undoubtedly did not originate with him;
but ii has, as before stated, the merit OF
coming to the point and expressing an
opinion.

the overseeIs; Warren IS not mentioned IN
the connection.
In regard to the evidence the majority OF
che committee seem to have taken every
word that Warren said as the truth and
diseredited all the other witnesses. 1t
may be that Warren is an Instance of prod
igal truthfulness and that his single unsup-
ported word is better than an array of
other testimony, but if so it is news to
any one who has the first knowledge Of the
rules of evidence. It may possibly be that
Warren is an instance of veracity in con-
trast with which George Washington
would grow pale; but it is necessary that
be should be in order to justify the impress
sion given by the report. that because
Waeren denied any statements that they
were not true.
The ARGUS stated yesterday that it. would
not call the report whitewashing report
and it still adheres to that decision, but
it will state that for all practical purposes
the verdict of the majority of the commit
tee is about as useless an outcome as could
we'll be. Much time, paper, ink and
has been wasted on it and so far as
giving any information or advice to the
council goes, it might as well have been
an essay on the descent of man or an ar
gument on protoplasm It means nothing;
says nothing; advises nothing 1t is farce.

Conkling can have theiopportunity to calm

congratulation in the fact that we shall
thus escape theinfliction OF seeing SO poor

The Paris correspondent of the London
Tablet, (Roman Catholic) says: THE
Union Generate was svowedly started in
opposition to the Jewish monopoly of cap
ital, which has made the Jews masters OF
the money markets of Europe. The En-
peror of Austria, whole territories of whose
empire are in the hands of the Jews com
mercially as well as financially. lent his
countenance and his capital to the scheme,
and the position of State bankers was
taken frem Messrs Rothschild and given
to Messrs. Bontoux & Co. Now there is a
great outcry against the jews for bringing
about q calamity which has sent thousands
of worthy families into trouble Those
who expected Israel to let himself be sup
planted in its gains and profits and vested
interests, without making a fight for them,

THEN AND NOW.

Whenever General Hancock now makes
public appearance, the journals which
opposed him in 1880 are, considering their
gross abuse of him then, something too
warm and lavish in their commentator of
him as soldier and patriot. He is now
described as very decorous and NEST ar
dent lover of his country. He was then
denounced as brute and a traitor. He is
now complimented upon the ROBUSTNESS of
his health 1t was asserted during the
campaign that he larded the lean earth as
he walked along-the same earth which
would speedily cover him, since he was
a sorry wreck, mentally and physically
He is now so very modest in his bearing
He was then, according to his later eulo
gists, ridiculously vain and unwarrantly
ambitious. Perhaps the general himself
would, on the whole, be better pleased if,
at the expense of their present super1atives
these organs had treated him in so with
like common decency and fair
ness. And it would certainly eonduce to
the reputation of these journals if they
would not so persistently and openly cali
attention to their own gross calumnies.-

WHY We EAT OYSTERS RAW.

DIR. William Roberts, in his interesting
lectures on the digestive ferments, says:
''Our practice in regard to the oyster is
quite exceptional, and furnishes a striking
example of the general correctness of the
popular judgment on dietic questions. The
oyster is almost the only substance which
we eat habitually, and by preference, in
the raw or uncooked state; and it is inter
esting to know that there is sound phys
ical reason at the bottom of this prefer
ence. The fawn colored mass which con
stitutes the dainty of the oyster isits liver,
and this is little less than heap of glyco-
gen. Associated with the glycogen, but
withheld from actual contact with it dur
inglife,i is its appropriate digestive ferment-
the hepatic diastase. The mere crushing
of the dainty between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the glyco
gen is at once digested without other help
by its own diastase. The oyster in the IN
cooked state, er merely warmed, is, in fact,
self digestive. But the advantage Of this
provision is wholly lost by cooking; for
the heat employed Immediately destroys
the associated ferment, and cooked oy
ster has to be digested, like any other food,
by the eaters own digestive powers
