The Eclectic for December is an exceptionally
good number OF a magazine which seldom
contains any thing that is not worth the atten-
ton of intelligent readers. The article on
M0ney is alone TO use a familiar phrase, worth
the price of the magazine; as the Spectator says,
it is $50 wise and so numerous as almost to
console any one who has none, or at least not
much" No story could be more interesting,
and yet the real nature and function of money
is explained with such lucidity that even the
wav-faring man can not fail to comprehend
Col. Chesney's article on The Military Future
of Germany is of real value as the opinion OF
one of the most competent military critics in
Europe. Prof Owens paper On Petroleum
and OIL Wells is of especial interest to Ameri-
cans, though it has attracted unusual attention
in England and Gen. Strachey's on Tie Place
of Geography in Physical Science is one of the
most important read at the last meeting of the
British Association. Other articles, of scarce
" inferior interest, are: COwper and Rousseau ;
West Indian .Superstitions; Michael Angelo J;
and In my Study Chair. The number is espe-
cially strong in poetry, The Chttdren's Bed
Time being one of the most beautiful of recent
poems relating to childhood, and 4 Lapland
Legend, a pictui esque version of one OF the old
nature-my tbs. The interest of Mrs. Alexan-
ders novel Her Dearest Foe is developing rap
idly, and Jonathan draws to II close Lastly,
the Editorial departments are filled with mis-
cellaneous good things Nor must we omit to
mention that there is a fine steel portrait OF
Professor John William Draper.
As the time for selecting next years periodi-
calls is rapidly approaching, such of our readers
rs have not yet made their choice, would do
well to get u copy Of the December Eclectic,

The Attorney Generalship.

The Governor has not yet indicated
what will be his action in the contest over
this Office between Mr. Wallis and Mr..
Gwinn. We have carefully read the argu-
ments filed on both sides in this matter
and we must say that in our poor judg-
ment we think the Governor has all the
necessary power to decide" the contest.
AS to the mode of procedure by which he
is to take evidence, &C., in order that he
may arrive at a proper decision, we think
that is matter entirely within his control,
and that he may prescribe such rules and
regulations to promote this object as he
may think right and proper. We cannot
for moment permit ourself to believe
that when the Constitution declared that
it shall be the duty of the Governor ''to
decide on the election and qualification of
the person returned as Attorney General,
that it meant he should not do so unless
the Legislature provided the necessary de-
tails and machinery for the summoning
of witnesses, sc. We do not care to 90
into an argument on the subject, bu' de
sire simply to express clear opirlon on
what seems to us a plain question. How
ever, as we said before, we have great con
fidence in the intelligence and integrity
ofGoy. Groome aud heljeYe that hi2 action
ap INC prrrrsrs viii be conscientious.
