RIVALRY BETWEEN PUBLISHERS.


We have received and willingly publish the fol
lowing communication from Messrs. Harper &
Brothers on the subject OF George Euots novels.
While caring nothing for the rivalres OF Publishers
except In 80 far the unfortunate authors suffer
therefrom do not hesitate to assert that 1t Is high
time some arrangement was entered into, in the alb
sence Of an international copyright law, whereby
these squabbles between publishers OF prominence
aud responsibility may be avoided in the future.
Most certainly IT, the Messrs Harpers assert they
have paid In the aggregate the sum or $4,000
In gold for early sheets OF the novels In dispute,
they have q moral right to their exclusive
publication, which should not be disputed. 1t IS
sad fact, however that our publishers pay but little
respect Tor each others 'mora rights,n profit being
to them OF greater consideration tnan morality. We
would remark, conclusion that all the Hcom-
mentsn oil the HERALD on the subject have been
confined to simple references 10 the rivalry existing
between the Messrs. Harper ana Messrs. Fields
without Offering any opinion upon the merits OF the
case.

COUNTERFEITS.

tioB.
Yesterday morning party, whose residence
is not thousand miles from New York entered
Marshal Tookers Office and presented to that
functionary letter which he had received
from firm in this city, announcing that they
have $3.50, 900 of counterfeit United States notes
on hand of the denominations of of 81, S. and
$40, printed on tirst-class paper, and so well
executed as to defy the scrutiny of the most
argus-eyed expert. These notes, they inform
him, are made up in packages of 5000 each
and will be disposed of to a select
few of such of the Western wide-awakes as
may choose to risk some of Uncle Sans
greenbacks in their purchase at the following
rates:-$20O for $50, S400 for $35, $1,000 for $50.
The advantages sure to arise from this invest
ment are duly set forth, and the receiver of the
letter is strongly urged not to let slip so rare an
opportunity for becoming millionaire. Lest,
however this COulelu de rose view should fail to
inspire The person addressed with the necessary
confidence, they offer to send him by post or
express one $500 package to begin WITH if he
will only remit them 50 of the price in advance,

days, should all 90 WELL In conclusion they eau

but expect that he will not betray them should

ing these glad tidings the man fastened to
New York to seek an interview with the coun-
terfeter, and to have ocular evidence that the
bogus greenbacks were fully up to the descrp-
ton, but when he inquired at the number of the
street named in the letter as the firms place of
business, he was greatly chagrined on discover
ing that no such firm there to be found,
whereupon in the bitterness of his diappoint-
ment, he went away to the tribunal of justice
aforesaid and put the whole matter into the

The Gettysburg Reunion.

GETTYSBURG, Aug. 19.-The boarding-houses
and hotels of this new watering-place are rapidly
filling up, in anticipation of the attendance of
the generals of both armies at the indication of
the battlefield to commence next week. A re-
cent military arrival here reports that he had
an interview with General Lee, and expresses
the opinion that that General will eventually at
tend, not that he wholly approves of the mea-
sure, but that, regarding the indication as a
foregone conclusion, it is, perhaps, due to the
men he commanded in this battle to be present
at work which will probably assume historic
character; but, above all, because he desires to
avoid the misconstruction which would be
placed upon his refusal to attend by the enemies
to pacifcation and reunion between the two
sections.
1t is proposed to mark the termination of the
labors of the distinguished military visitors by
a grand ball. in which the fashion and beauty
of the principal cities are expected to partici-
nate.

stances over which he had no control. The fact
that he is the Presidents brother-in-law makes
il possible for him to write an impertinent let
ter to Secretary Boutwell,. Had he never been
dragged out of obscurity by Grants elevation to
the Presidency, it is just possible that neither
Governor Boutwell, nor the country would ever
have known that there was such person as
Judge Dent.
The worst feature of the business is that Dent
claims to be acting with the consent and coun-
tenance of the President. Whether he is or not,
there is good reason to believe that he has the
sympathy of Mrs. Grant, for the Dents are very
clannish and stick together. If there is to be
peace in the Cabinet the President must put an
embargo on his brother-in-law, for men like
Boutwell, will not submit quietly to assaults from
any quarter.
The Chief Justice ut Work.
If anybody supposes that Chief Justice Chase
has given up the notion of being President
before he dies, they are mistaken He is as
eager for it now as when he inuaugurated the
ChasePomeroy movement, just before the close
of Mr. Lincoln's first term. The Chief Justice
knows how to improve his vacations. His visits
to the Southern States, and more especially to
that famous resort of defeated Confederates and
disaffected politicians, the White Sulphur
Springs, mean something more than recreation
and pleasure. He has the sagacity to avoid that
mistake of all Presidential aspirants, letter
writing. What he does to advance his prospects
he likes to do in person. There is reason to
believe that he views with undisguised satisfac-
ton the result of the recent elections in
Virginia and Tennessee. He hopes that
Mississippi and Texas will repeat
the operation. If Pennsylvania and Ohio go
respectively for Packer and Pendleton this fall
it will be n fresh argument with Chase and his
friends for the formation of a new party. "The
conservative wave" as he said to a friend not
long ago, (which has commenced to sweep over
the South, will eliminate in a new party" OF
that party he hopes to be the leaderand the can
didate. He knows that he stands very little
chance with any of the parties now in existence.
| If he ever reaches the White House it must be
on the shoulders of new organization
