THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1870. 3 C'tiy Affairs. A mafia meeting of jeumeymon tailors of the Mmtbern section of th city tu held last evening at the House of Industry, Catharine street, near Serenth, for the purpose of form ing a new lodge. , . . i . Yesterday afternoon James McQrath, twenty years old, residing on Twelfth street, above Carpenter, was taken home in a greatly prostrated condition from sun-stroke. The Union of Locomotive Firemen will bold their fifth annual convention in this city in September next. Delegates repre senting every railroad in the United Btates and Canada will, it is expected, be present. The fund in the hand of the Grand Lode trustees, I. O. of O. F., for the construction of an orphans' home, now amounts to $10,000. It is understood that another effort to have the institution erected will shortly be made. The lightning express train, whion left Tittsburg yesterday morning, arrived in this city last evening, having made the trip in nine hours and a half the fastest time ever made for so long a run on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. The train made over ii7 miles an hour, including stoppages. Last evening, as a colored military com pany were passing Seventh and Lombard streets, on their return from the funeral of the late William Carney, who was killed up town a few nights since, they were assaulted by a parly of colored men and boys. Pistols and knives were drawn, but the police dis persed the mob before any serious damage occurred. A stated meeting of the Board of Trade W8s held lost evening, Mr. James C. Hand presiding. A communication was received Irom Mr, John Welsh, resigning the position of President of the Board, in consequence of absence in Europe. Mr. F. Fraley submitted the following, which was adopted: Ilciohed, That the Executive Committee of the Board of Trade decline to accept the resignation of Mr. John Welsh from the Presidency, and leRpectfulIy request him to represent the Philadelphia Board of Trade, as President, while in England, and avail himself of every opportunity to obtain and transmit informa tion on the commerce and trade of the seve ral countries he may visit. The question of discrimination against Philadelphia by the Pennsylvania Railroad, in regard to freight and passenger travel, was taken up, and the Committee on Inland Transportation were requested to take action upon the matter. The Committee of the Month were appointed as follows: Messrs. Hood, Hoffman, and T. C. Hand. Domestic Affairs. Gold closed yesterday at 112$. The receipts of internal revenue yester day amounted to $1,12",000. At Albany yesterday the thermometer marked 98 degrees in the shade. Senator Howard is writing out the report of the San Domingo Investigating Committee. A cash loss of $40,000 is acknowledged by the Manager of the Beethoven Festival in New York. Many important amendments to the House Taxation bill have been reported by the Senate Finance Committee. The Senate Judiciary Committee has de cided to return to the Senate the nomination of Amos T. Akerman for Attorney-General without recommendation. A circular has been issued from the Census Bureau authorizing the marshals to yive to the press the ' total population of towns, cities, and counties when complete returns shall have been received and ex amined. In the United States Senate yesterday, after the close of our report., the Southern Pacific Railroad bill was considered in even ing session. In the House the Fortification and Army Appropriation bills were passed. A bill was klso passed extending the provisions of the Artificial Limbs bill to the navy. Fsrelca Affairs. Several important reforms have been promulgated in Portugal. Several people were killed by an explo sion in a powder mill at Waltham, near Lon don, on Sunday. Peninsular unity, under the house of Braganza, is said to be the aim of the revolu tionary party in Spain. M. Disraeli has replied sharply in B'ack wood to the criticisms on "Lothair, "published in that magazine. Any counter-movement on the part of the Church of England to the Oecumenical Council is discountenanced by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Charles Dickens, in 'his will, declines a monument, preferring to rest his fame on his works. He urges his children to practise Christianity in a broad spirit, eschewing nar row constructions of men or sects. NEW BOOKS AND NEW EDITIONS. From tht London A therurum. Whilst Mr. Disraeli is being denounced in certain quarters where the politico-religious views of bis new novel are especially unac ceptable as one of those false prophets of whom it was predicted that they should cause men to say, "Lo here" and "Lo there," sim ple people are asking how it comes that the tale, which they see on every other drawing-room table, ' has only j ust now been announced in a modest advertise ment as having reached a third edition an inquiry that" points to an ordinary usage of "the trade, and raises a question as to the meaning of the word "edition." For the benefit of simple people, and many persons whose simplicity consists solely in their ignorance of literary practices, it is well to observe that no term is more elastic than "edition," which may signify any number of copies, from a hundred to a hundred thou sand. The ordinary edition of the fashionable amateur, who gives a West End publisher jE50 or 100, together with the copyright of bis or ner new romance, on condition that he causes it to be rewritten, printed., aud floated into the circulating libraries, numbers some three hundred copies, whilst the first edl tions of Mr. Charles Dickens' more popular W A . ll 1 - worKS comprised lens oi tuousanaa ot copies, the average edition of another novelist, whose works not long sinc were lorcea into con aiderable sales by strenuous puffery, which credited them with the honors of ten or twelve editions, never exoeeded five bun dred copies. And, though a sixth thousand of "Lothair" has beeu bound, and, if net already sold, is being rapidly absorbed by the trade, it is just entering on tne tnira edition So many strong influences, distinct from the literary merits ox an amusing perform anoe, contribute to the popularity of the 'Du chess v" tale, that no one needs to be told why the author can afford to do without sen sational advertisements; but the quickness nd quietude with which his copies are being distributed are grounds for questioning whether the customary proclamations or com. mercial success have the desired effect on fcoci&l opinion. Nothing but a very conside rable benefit to the producers of literature can be held to justify or even excuse a fashion lUt jwults jut J beting uj pottUrnj ju standard of excellence, and too often insults truth by misrepresentation. It must be ob served that in strict language an edition means the full quantity which the producer of a work calculates on being able to sell of the production at the time of making arrangements for its publication. Whether a publisher hopes to sell five hundred or five thousand copies of a book, his first genuine edition always equals or slightly exceeds his expectations of demand. A pru dent publisher never arranges from the outset for a second edition: he always prefers a sale which falls a little short of his calculation, to a sale which requires him to incur, without enabling him to recover, the expense of re setting type. Of genuine second editions not one in three pays its expenses, not one in five is liberally remunerative to its producers. Publishers, therefore, are so strongly dis posed to provide against the risks arising from the manufacture of second editions that tkey seldom produce too small an original edition of a work of transitory interest. In oases, as in "Lothair, where they anticipate a large sale, but are uncertain to what number of copies it may rise, their custom is to keep their type standing until the sale shows clear signs of coming to an end an arrangement which makes the genuine edition almost precisely commensurate with the public demand for the book. This arrangement is so generally had recourse to for regulating the dimensions of genuine second editions that persons have reason to be suspicions of the advertisements which proclaim the issue of several editions within a few weeks of the first publication of a work. Cases sometimes occur where the demand for a bock revives soon after a lull following on the exhaustion of its first edi tion; and yet, again, when the second edition has been disposed of under circumstances that appeared to indicate a termination of the demand. In these instances five or six genuine editions may be re quired tor tne same work wittun a year or two years. But such cases are so rare, that it is usually fair to regard the announcement of the fifth or sixth edition of a new work as, at best, nothing more than a declaration on the part of its producers that its sale has exceoded the number of copies contained in two or three average first editions of new literature. Writers would preserve themselves from imputations of con niving at the commercial charlatanries perpe trated in their favor if they would, on issuing a new edition, declare the number of copies comprised in tne preceding issues; or, better still, let them request their publishers to for bear from calling attention to the number of their editions and the magnitude of their sales. Bad and altogether worthless books may be very popular; and a good book is none the better because its goodness has rendered it widely acceptable. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
