Magazine Notices.

That the publishers of the Atlantic intend TO
maintain the high character OF the magazine
in all departments during the year 1879 is fully
Shown by their programme for the coming vol.
umnes. The most able writers will treat OF
topics of political, economical, and social inter
est; serial and short stories by the best Ameri-
can authors will be given; and the admirable
critical papers, transatlantic sketches, studies
in art and history, etc., which have been found
SO attractive in the past, will be continued.
The Atlantic will still be the medium through
which so much of the best American poetry is
first given to the public. The January num-
Der of the Atlantic certainly shows no failure
on the part of editors or publishers In amply
fulfilling these promises. Aspects of Ameri-
can Life, by Charles Dadey Warner, Is Uni
versal Suffrage Failure? By Goodwin Smith,
and Workingmen's Wives, by the anonymous
writer whose striking studies of our social con-
ditions have received so much attention, are
all peculiarly noticeable articles worthy of Sc
rious consideration. The paper on Working
mems Wives, is one of the best of the series.
The women amongst the working people have
boroe their part brayely during the anxiety and
sufferings of these last years. Many of them
have been almost the entire support of their
families. and they are much less depressed and
injured by the hardships of their lot than the
men. The women whose stories are here told
well deserve to find so appreciative ehronicler.
Mr.. Howells adds four delightful chapters to
The Lady of the Aroostook. A Students Sea
Story.is in Mrs. Stoves pleasantest vein, and
Mr.. G. P. Lathrop's The Pines of Eden shows
both power and originality. Very charming
and full of delicate humor is Mr.. T. B. AL.
drich's little sketch of his New Neighbors at
Ponkapog. Miss Harriet w. Preston's study
of The Latest Songs of Chivalry is admirably
done, and the illustrative poems are selected
with exquisite taste. Under her pleasant guiS-
ance the reader revisits the smiling garder-
ground of old Euglish lyrical poetry, and sees
what the fruits of the spirit of English knight
hood really were. Round the World at the
Paris Exhibition fitly concludes Que of the best
series OF papers the great fair has called forth.

notice is Whittiei's The Dead Feast Of the

The Amended Blaine Resolution


The resolutions introduced into the Senate
by Mr.. Blaine having been adopted, the com.
mittee of investigation should be- speedily ap-
pointed and go to work as socn as possible.
Judging from the tone Of the Democratic
Senators in the debate which followed the in
PRODUCTION of the measure hearty cooperation
it the objects proposed cannot be expected
from them. 1t was hoped they would lend
ready aid to the investigation. II, as they
contend, no wrongs have been inflicted upon
the colored voters of the South, they ought
to welcome an inquiry that will substantiate
their assertions. Their opposition to it
SHOWS thaS tNeJ heS,e worry little confidence
in the truth of those assertions or in the
ability of the South to disproye the charges
brought against it of interfering with the
freedom of the ballot. The debate this week
has weakened their position still more. Mr..
Blaine's replies. especially to the North Car
olina Senators, have made still more appar-
ent the urgent need OF the investigation he
proposed. The true reason of the Demo
cratic opposition to committee sessions with
are hundreds of witnesses in the South who
dare not openly testify against their oppres-
so,s. Secret sessions afford them their only
safe opportunity to give the facts in regard
to fraud and intimidation at the polls. The
purpose of the investigation would have been
defeated had the amendment requiring open
investigation been carried. Foiled in their
attempt to indirectly defeat the resolution
the Democrats generally did not dare to di-
rectly oppose it. But six of them voted
against it. These were Messrs. Hill, M'Cree-
ry, Morgan, Whyte, Wallace, and Eaton.
The amendments made to the original res
olution seem TO be proper enough, though
they may inconveniently broaden the extent
of the inquiry. The first amendment en-
larges the inquiry so as to. include United
States as we'll as State officials the third
gives the committee the right to send for per-
sons and papers, administer oaths, and prose-
cute the examination by means of sub-com-
mittees the second is in these words: 'The
izen of any State has been dismissed or
threatened with dismissal from employment
or deprivation of any right or privilege by
reason of his vote at the recent election, or
has been otherwise interfered with; and to
inquire whether, in the year 1878, money
was raised by assessment or otherwise upon
federal office-holders or employees for election
purposes, and under what circumstances and
by what means, and if so, what amount was
so raised, and how the same was expended; !;
and further, whether such assessments were
or not in violation of the law; and shall fur
ther inquire into the action and conduct of
United States supervisors of elections in the
several States, and as to the number of mar

SUGGESTIVE note from the New York
Tribune: The most despicable sneak in
Christendom, in 1860, was the creature who
could see no harm in the solid and aggres-
i've sectionaism of the South, and wanted
the North to lie down and be kicked to all
time for the sake of peace. Not bad imita-
tions of that spirit may be found to-day, par
ticularly among those who think it perfectly
right and natural for the South to be "solid''
ip attacking the public debt, "sold" in
breaking into the public treasury, and "sold''
in defying the constitution and the laws of
the United States, but utterly unpatriotic
and shockingly sectional for the North to
resist.

A WASHINGTON despatch to the Chicago
Tribune tells of an interview with the agent
of German steamship line-who says that
his company could not think of investing in
ship. timber lands in Alabama because of the
prejudice in Europe against the South In
reply to the assurances that Alabama was Tree
from all political disturbances, he said that
he supposed it to be true, nevertheless the
belief had become SO general in Europe that
the Southern States were in an unsettled
condition and the rights of person and prop
erty, especially of those who were not natives,
were so constantly dsregarded, as to render
it impossible to induce capitalists to trust
either their money or the representatives of
their interests in any part OF the South. He
said OF late this feeling had rapidly increased
among European capitalists. owing to the
knowledge of the leDient, and, in European
eyes, extremely wise course pursued by Pres
ident Hayes towards the South. Where pre-
viousy there had been sympathy abroad for
the South on account of the interference of
the General Government, tie opinion now is
that no excuse tor such continued disorders
as have been reported exists, and such COM
panies as his own were making up their
minds that society there was in little better
than semi-civilized condition, and capital
could not afford to take risky investments.
