The Booksellers at War with the Press
Paid Critics and Saiaries Reviewer

We give elsewhere, to-day, strong article
on the subject of the war which has lately
sprung up between q number of book pub
fishers in this city, and certain persons at
tached to the daily press who write what are
facetiously called criticisms upon new pub
locations.
We find this article--part of which we know
to he true and all of which we believe to be
founded upon fact-in the official organ OF tne
New York publishers and have rescued il
from that depth of obscurity, for the purpose
of saying word or two upon the general
merits of the highly interesting subject upon
which il treats.
In the first place, it may be well enough to
ask how the publishers happen to have an
organ at all; for we have no doubt that nine
out of ten men who read new books have,
until now, been ignorant of the existence of
the hebdomadal from which we quote the
eal,osf of the so called reviewers. A few
months ago the Book Publishers Association
sent circular to the leading journals requesting
to know their lowest terms for advertisements
of new publications. One of these circulars was
scut w tHc IiEhAID, dHu We OHcTeu 10 TAKE OH
twenty-five per cent from our regular rates,
providing we could have all the advertising
We thought that the discount would be made
up by the increased interest Of the paper to a
very large class of our subscribers who desire
the announcements Of what is new in the lite
rary world. But the scheme fell through; and
ii was found impossible to select any one pa
per, because some Of the publishers had q pc
cuniary interest in other journals, or could be
disturbed in some nice little arrangements
which they had with certain writer's. The pub
fishers then started their circnlar--which Is
not often seen out Of the trade. 1t is, undoubt-
eddy, very useful publication to booksellers;

CRY 0ppITlEs--At q shop window in Broad
way, where the likenesses in plaster Of several
notabilites, dead and living, are to be seen, a
new object of attraction has recently been
added. 1t is the head of mummy, from the
catacombs Of Egypt, upwards of three thou
sand years old. Turning from the contempla-
tion of this curiosity, and casting q glance
over the road, the pedestrian will perceive
what is called heraldry Office, and on its
front and in its window various grotesque de-
all interesting enough, no doubt, though
equally unintelligible to the members of

tive and no better exempli6cation of turnkey
ism can be conceived. The antiquity Of u

something very small in comparison with tho

Thus we see that; neither in efficiency nor
economy, has the country been gamer by the
new organization, whilst at the same time it
has been effected with large amount of in
justice and individual suffering. Men of the
highest moral and professional character have
been retired from service, while others noto-
rious for their dissipated habits and inefliciency
have been kept on the active list. That many
Of the latter cases may have occurred from
ignorance Of the characters of the parties, we
are disposed to believe; but we cannot alto
gether acquit the board of the imputation of
Partially, when we find, for the same Of
fence, one officer honorably retired, another
furloughed, and another dropped. To aggra-
vate the cruel and arbitrary character of these
proceedings, the decisions of the board were
conveyed to the victims in the most I'M
courteous and unfeeling manner. They were
notified summarily of their retirement or dis
missal. without any reason being assigned for
the fact. The common privilege allowed to
dismissed servants, of informing them Of the
grounds of their disgrace, was denied to them
proceeding for which we find no sort Of justi-
fication on the part of the department. There
is no reason why the country should be less
conscientious and courteous towards those who
have passed their lives in her service than in
dividual employers. The effect Of such treat
ment on the minds of honorable and high
spirited men, with large families involved in
their ruin, must have been bitter in the ex-
IRENE. We question if their feelings Of pa
triotism would have resisted at the moment the
test OF such shock.
We have always been the strenuous advo-
Gates of naval reform, but we never contem-
plated the adoption of measure which vio-
lates the principles of our constitution and of
justice, weakens instead of imparting strength,
adds to the expenses of the country without
yielding any adequate return, and infiicts un.
me1ited suffering upon large number Of de-
serving families. If Congress cannot cure
abuses without creating others of greater mag
nitude, il is better to let the old evils flourish
We entertain confident hopes however, that it
will not only find its way through the difficult
ties that environ this question, but that it will
discover some means of redressing the griev-
ances that have been created by its last bung-
ling effort of legislation. Q

During the administration Of President Ty-
Ter q large number Of nominations for promo
ton were sent into the Senate, which the latter
refused to confirm, and law was passed limit
ing the plumber Of officers and seamen in the
navy, the latter being fixed at 1900. The re-
ports of the Secretaries OF the Navy have fire.
quently recommended reduction in the num-
Der Of captains and commanders, there being
more of those grades than the service required.
The total plumber of vessels at sea in 1865, by
the Navy Register, is forty-two, and that num-
Der canno be increased without an additional
number of seamen The commissions now issued

The consequence of this enormous increase
of officers in the navy will be, that the proper
ton of sea service of the respective grades
will be as follows
Captains viii be at sea..................1 year in
Commanders .........................! ao.
We put ii to Congress and the American
people whether these officers, after such
long periods on shore, are likely to be
efficient and competent officers at sea ?
Would merchants and ship owners entrust
the care Of their vessels and cargoes to men
who had been SO long off duty? Would any
one, in short, like to employ q lawyer, physi-
clan, or mechanic, who for SO many years
had not entered court room, treated pa
tient, or worked at his trade?
But not only have the provisions of the old
law limiting the aggregate Of officers been
violated, but we find similar departure from
the new act, as regards their aggregate pay. A
clause of the second section provides "that
nothing in this act should be held or construed
to authorize any increase of the aggregate
pay of the said grades, or of the naval SER
vice, as now allowed by law" The following
comparison will show how closely this provi-
sion has been adhered to-
