NEW PUBLICATIONS.

HARPER AND BROTHERs.-The most
handsome and valuable book of the kind
that has recently come from any publish
ing house in the United States is "The
Earth: a Descriptive History of the Life of
the Globe" written by E.isee Reclus,
translated by the late B. B. Woodward,
M. A., edited by Henry Woodward, of the
British Museum, illustrated with twenty
three page maps printed in colors, and two
hundred and thirty maps inserted in the
text, and published by the above mentioned
firm. The original work is the result of
fifteen years. careful study, travels and re-
search by one of the most able of living
French authors. 1t has already passed
through two French edition, and the pages
Of the present volume have, from time to
time, received the benefit of the authors
attention. We do not know of any work,
in either French or English, in which SO
great task has been attempted with such
remarkable success. It is divided into four
parts and eighty-six chapters. The first
part considers the earth as planet
the second, is devoted to the land
the third, to the circulation of water; and
the fourth, to subterrancan forces.
1t is hardly necessary TO say that such a
volume as this is intensely attractive-pri-
marty, because of the intelligence with
which the material is handled, and second
ly, because of the mechanical and artistic
perfection with which the publishers have
presented that material to the readers. In
all those details which render volume
matter of pride for the publishers "The
EARTH is as near perfection as anything Of
the kind which we have ever seen. Among
the colored illustrations is found map of
the world, ageoglogical chart of the world,
a geological map Of England, and maps

The New York Standard contains the
following deserved compliment to our old
friend Major j. NJ. Bundy. Major Bundy
is one of that first crop of young men that
the West has sent forth to freshen and
strengthen the whole life of our civilization.
He was a class-mate of Horace White, of
the Chicago Tribune, and is still below his
prime: g
Major j. M. Bundy, the amiable and ac-
complished editor of the Eoesing Mall,
and in many respects worthy to be called
the Washington Irving of the New York
press, makes the following judicious obser-
vation: ~. M
10 tell the news fairly, honestly and
Interestingly y to aid all good causes to ex-
pose abuses and stimulate reform to re-
present the most liberal thoughts and high
est tendencies of the time; to welcome all
schemes that promise good; to encourage
all humane enterprises; to stimulate the
love of knowledge, taste for art and the
culture of all the better parts of our nature
to sustain good government and honest
rulers and to condemn and upset the bad
these are few of the resources of a news
paper that has no quarrel with its neigh
bors, and that sticks closely to its purpose
of living at peace with all mankind. A
journal that uses these means of making it
self interesting and useful with any decent
degree of ability, will not fail because it is
free from abusive controversial articles.'
Major Bundy has shown, from the con-
duct of his newspaper, fine illustration of
practicing the gospel he breaches.

If we may believe w ashington cores
pondent who is usually accurate in his
statements, the Civil Service Commission
is hopeful. Its members express the ut
most confidence in their plan of COMPETE
tive examinations, and hope to be able to
do away entirely with the pernicious system
Of official patronage, under which incom-
potency has become too generally the rule
in government offices. So be It. Why a
people so emlnently practical as we, should
have consented during all these years to
any test other than that of competency
in the selection of our official servants,
must ever. remain q mystery. We ex-
anime critically the qualifications of the
errand-boys and porters who serve us
personally, but select the men who are to
manage our great partnership business at
Washington because of their ability to
cajole low voters in the interest of UNI
worthy politicians. If the Civil Service
Commissioners can uproot this evil of long
standing, its members will have done more
for the future of the country than one
body of men can usually accomplish with
in lifetime. 3

MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 90, 1871.
OF the Norfolk affair, the Dispatch SAYS

We did not understand the Mayor as forbid
ding the holding of such a meeting We do not
concede that he had the right to do so. We have
denounced General Sheridan for his conduct in
Chicago; and we are not inclined to Justify even
acivil magistrate in interfering with the right of
the people peaceably to assemble for the purpose
of consulting with one another upon any subject.
But we are curious to know why the STATE JOUR
NAL should take such high ground in the Norfolk
dan, who trampled the constitution and laws of
Illinois under foot, and adopted measures which
resulted in the killing of of the most respec-
table citizens of Chicago.
We will crafty the curiosity Of the Dis
patch by stating that Chicago is long way
off, and out of our immediate bailwick at
this time. There were some extraordinary
circumstances in the Chicago case, and the
facts are not yet clear. 1t has been charged
that Governor Palmer recognized Sheri-
dams action at the time and practically
delegated to him the full powers, which he
possessed himself. We are not inclined TO
believe this, and, in the absence of proof
have delayed any expression, lest we might
do injustice. We know Gen. John Palmer
to be one of the best and wisest of our
Western statesmen a great civilian as well
as brave and successful soldier, and we
incline to trust his judgment in this case as
against a merely professional fighter like
Sheridan.
With our present light we believe he has
the law with him, and that the action Of
General Sheridan, though undoubtedly cor
rect as to motive, was technically illegal
and unwarrantable. The extenuating cir
cumstances are very great, but nothing can
excuse the violation of those safeguards
which the law has set up to protect the cit
izen from the abuse Of official powers, ex-
cept necessity. If such necessity existed
and for the moment the clearly defined limit
Of powers vested in General Sheridan was
overstepped, all haste should be made to
reassert the law with unusual emphasis
lest a precedent be established dangerous
to freedom in the future.
