kong, that argument was furnished by the meeting of the official Sanitary Board bold yesterday afternoon. We are not cerinin whether the present shred of a Board is really a legally-constituted body, in accordance with the Ordinance still in fereo; but the action of the three officials (the official majority"), as against the useless attempt of the 'un- official minority (Mr N. J. Ede) is quite suficient to discredit the existence of any other official majority'so long as this Colony lasta. It may seem to be ungenerous to say, so, but the meeting of the Sanitary Board yesterday was not The only that of an official majority," but it was to all intents and purposes a toeeing. of the 'one-official order. The Hou. F. 201 A.

Mr Cooper assumed an attitude yesterday. at the Sanitary Board meeting which not only shows, what we have said before, that he possesses not a particle of the tact necessary for effective ad- ministration, but that he is an officer whose unchecked action (in or out of the Sanitary Board, as at prescot cou stituted) is calculated to seriously affect the good Government of the Colony. We have peither time nor space at pre- sent to enter into the details of cas question which furnished the occasion for Mr Cooper to out the community, and to give the British residents this object lesson in official methods which should be invaluable to them for future use and guidance.
