    FROM NEW rOBR.
Nkw York, Sept. 1W- Yesterday a large in
/voice of D. Appleton A: Co.’s books were sold at
the book trade-sales. A large number of those
Interested attended, and the prices were high.
At the trade-sale of Monday evening the lists of
Charles Scribner <& Co., and of Scribner, Weli'ord
<fc Co., were gone through with. Of Timothy
Titcomb’s works, nearly one thousand copies
sold, “Bitter SWcct” taking the lead—a fact
which promises-well for the success of the forth
coming poem, “Kathrinn. Ik Marvel’s works
also proved the prominence of their popularity,
“Bachelor's Reveries” and “Dream Life’’leading
the list.,Of the standard works, “Fronde's History’
and“ Lang’s Commentary"bronght high prices and
provoked a brisk demand, five hundred volumes
of Lange alone being disposed of. The illustrated
holiday books,“Bitter Sweet,” “Cotter’s Saturday
Hlglit, “Floral Belles,” Ac., were taken up very
rcadilv and promptly. In Scribner, YVclford A
Co.'s Ilßt,-which was’ confined to English works
of their importation, the iUustcd editions brought
the highest prices, although all the works by
standard and popular authors were Arm. Alto
gether the sale was one of the most successful
and-spirited thus far made.
The Citizens’ Association has recently made a
protest against the expenditures for the support
of the National Guard. The list of officers and
■ men who appeared at the annual , inspection of
last October numbered 0,846, including the First,
Second, Third and Fourth brigades. This com
putation is correct, with the exception of three
regimentß (the 73d, 77th and 79th,
jnen, which have been disbanded.) It is held by
good military authority, that the National Guard
of this Stnte/hould be reorganized, giving to this (
city 10 regiments of l,ooo.men each; it bemgpro
vided that, when the membership of a
regiment falls lieiow eight hundred
men, the remainder shall be distributed among
other organizations. By this means, we Bhould
have a much more effective militia than at
present, and at a considerably reduced expense.
The Congressional Committee appointed to in
vestigate frauds ip the Pay Department, met yes
terday afternoon in Room No. 20 of the Astor
House, and organized preparatory to proceeding
witli the examination. The committee consists
of the Hon. W. S. Lincoln (Chairman), N.Y.:
Gen. Cobb, of Wisconsin; Mr. Scofield, of Pa.:
Mr. Buckland, of Ohio,, and Mr. Holman, of In
diana. .
Major-Gen. Sickles at rived in this city yester
day. Last-evening the; Union Republican Gene
ral Committee met and appointed a committee
to wait upon hitn and invite him to address the
citizens of New York, at the Cooper Institute, at
such time as would suit his convenience. A
number of officeis, formerly of the Excelsior
Brigade, also met and made arrangements for
giving -a serenade- to —Gen- Sickles on-Ymuay
night. .
The American Pharmaceutical Association com
wticed its annual convention at the New York
Unrnrsity yesterday. The session will last seve
rairiay*. ’ The attendance is large.' .
VCwo desperate burglars wen-, arrested yester
day in Brooklyn, E. D. One of them drew a pis

NEW JE ISSEY MATTERS.
Ri.mmotrs Mattkus—'The-impetus given to
religious enterprise in South Jersey by the cen
leniirv efforts of Methodism is working decided
advantages for that denomination of Christian
■worshippers. Unusual zeal and nlnerity have
been manifested in the building of new churches,
and by the close of the present year some eight
or ten will have been completed in the First
Congressional District alone. But the most
tasteful and commodious of these line structures
will be that one now in course of completion in
Camden, known as the Centenary M. E. Church.
The members of this congregation consist of
manv wealthy individuals, who branched off
from the Third Street Church in March, iB6O,
and who have taken a deep interest and pride
in the new structure they are erecting. _ When
completed, it will be an ornament to the city and
a credit to all who have exhibited an interest
m it.
Sanitary Mkasukk*. The present warm
weather has induced the authorities of Camden to
(attend to the mutter of cleansing the streets as a
necessary sanitary measure. An unusual amount
of decomposing substances have accumulated in
many of the principal streets, which omitted
sickening miasma, which it was
should be removed, and the afreets cleansed, in,
order to prevent the prevalence of sickness.
To Be Commenced. —The route of the Camden
Horse-Car Passenger Railroad has been surveyed,
and nearly all the preliminary preparations for
commencing the work perfected. The citizens of
Camden wiU hail with joy the completion of this
road, for it will inaugurate a new system of pro
gressive improvements which cannot fail to ad
vance materially the prosperity and growing in
terests of the city and its inhabitants.
Atlantic County.— At the present time there
are seven persons confined in the jail at May's
Landing for various offences, awaiting trial. This
is the largest number ever in that jail at one
time, ana as the court commenced its September
term yesterday, it is most likely their cases will
be acted upon" this w-eek.
Elegant Cars.— Six new-and improved pas
eemrer railroad cars are now building at Borden
town for the New Jersey Railroad Company.
They are to be finished in the mijpt superb style.
New Buildings.— About two hundred new and
commodious private residences are now in pro
gress in Camden. „ .
THE POIUINIOA OF CANADA.
A New Governor-General anil New
Con>man<ler-in-('Uief—A Itouge ”
Election Victory.
Montreal, Sept. 10, 1807 Earl Mayo suc
ceeds Lord Monek as Governor-General of the
Dominion next J line.
General Charles Windham, known as “ltedan’’ .
Windham, iroin having led a successful assault
on the Redan, replaces Michel as Commander-in-,
Chief of the army.
His appointment will he officially announced
this week.
The Earl of Mayo belongs to the ancient house
of Clauricarde, in Ireland, and the earldom is one
of considerable influence. The family name is
Bourke. I believe the pee'rnge is now held hy
Richard Southwell Bourke, Lord Naas, who was
•Chief Secretary for Ireland during-tlie Fenian in
surrection, and was spoken of in connection
with the Governor Generalship of Canada beforo
Lord Monck. His father (Itooert Boiirke, Earl of
Mayo) would be now about seventy years of age,
and, to the best of my recollection, died a short
timeßlnce.
The families of the Bourkes and Windhams—
that of the new Commander-in-Chief—are re
lated by marriage.
Mr. Docmie has been elected to the Dominion
Parliament by a majority of twenty.
The result is a “Rouge'’ victory.

out with the keys of the instrument any article
held up by the audience without his seeing it, is
certainly a marvel. He plays every night this
