Magazine Notices.

The international ReUieao almost in its Begin
ming gained position in the forefront of peri-
odicals OF its class, and has steadily maintained
itself there ever since. 1t has hit both the nom
ular and the scholarly taste. and its custom of
printing contributions from eminent foreign
authors is one which has materially increased
strength and widened its circulation. The
number for March-April is notable for the arti-
Giles treating of topics of current interest The
opening paper, Republicanism under President
Grant, by an Independent Republican, natur-
ally attracts more general attention than any
other, though deserving it less. 1t is caustc
review of the late administration, and is as
remarkable for its exaggeration of statement
and unwarranted inference as for its literary
merit and force of expression.
Inc article in the numbers most worthy of at.
tention, worthy because of its weight of thought,
hencisy OF expression and the Importance of its
suDlect-matter, is by Prof. Van Buren, Deus-
low, and 10 entitled Responsible Government
by responsible government the writer moons
that syetem wherein the administrator 10 w.
sponsible to the legislature and to the neon1o
for everything that is done, and wherein the
legislature and the people have the means Of
removing and changing the administration at
any moment, to conform to the voice of the
nation constitutionally expressed. The writer
sets himself to answer these questions: Is the
principle of responsible government indigenous
only in monarchies and an exotic in republics?
Gan the United States get on we'll without it?
II NOT BOW shall we introduce it? In answer
ing these questions occasion is found to describe
Inc system of government of nearly every coup-
Try In Europe. We shall take early opportuu
y to refer to this paper at greater length. An
other article of immediate interest is on Safety
in Dwellings and Public Buildings, by James
r. Bayles. The theory and practice of arcbi-
lecture are treated Of and the evils attendant
upon a disregard of hygienie laws in house
building, as well as those resulting from cheap
and fimsy construction and neglect of the

Tweed Not Nikely to be Released.
The Times tomorrow Isays the prospects of
Tweed's speedy release seem to lessen daily,
and the determination of the prosecution not
to settle the cases seems to grow stronger. The
Attorney General has recently declared that
Tweed has nothing to divulge, which would be
of benefit to the people in the way of enabling
them to recover the money or property. 1t is
positively denied that any differences have
arisen between Mr.. Peckham and Attorney
General. The former is decidedly opposed to
any compromise with Tweed's, and believes the
Attorney General is of the same mind.
