The ~InternatiOnaIs..

j It is almost of as much Importance to the
lnternationais' to seem powerful as to be
50, and accordingly its friends and supper
tess arc very ready to claim some of the
responsibility of every tnmult, revolutions,
uprising, strike, riot, and confagration that
occurs in any part of the world. They are
willing, in short, to accept q bad reputation
for the sake Of inspiring terror. We have
not as yet heard that they claim for it any
share in the burning of the Wisconsin
woods, but they have darkly limited that
it had something to do with the burning
of Chicago, and we should not be surprised
to hear hat it was at the bottom of the
next great earthquake. It certainly
claimed a larger part in the troubles of the
Commune in Paris than it had any title
to, and we suspect that the great strikes
which have recently taken place in Europe
would have occurred it had never existed.
That it does exist however, and that it is
rapidly extended its Organization, there
can be no doubt; but it must be remem-
bered that such organizations do not be-
come stronger in the ratio of the increase
oftheir' humbers-on the contrary, they
become weaker they gather in the begin
ming the elite of the class among which
they seek their recruits. As the work
of propagandism goes on, the aecessions
decline in quality, and the cohesiveness of
the body diminishes. It Is not difficult to
foresee that the International will 90 to
pieces under the weight and vastness of
its own design. / A correspondent Of the
Cologne Gazette furnishes an account of a
convention of the body, consisting of twcn-
ty-fiye delegates, held in London about
six weeks ago, at which it was reported
that there were one hundred ands eighty
thousand enrolled members of the Society
in England, furnishing a revenue of about
thirty.fve hundred dollars a = year.
The French delegate said that the organi-
zaten had been swept away in several
French towns after the Communist reyollr
ton, and it was decided to take special
measures for its restoration in these places,
and Ia make Russia the field Of energetic
missionary effort. Secret societies and
conspiracies were vigorously denounced,
and political agitation, as it is in England,
strongly recommended. The object Of this
agitation seemed to be the conversion of
'capital and land to the use of the work
ing1nan; in what manner was not de-
sc,ibed. 1.-THE Nation

Our District Court.

Our District Court, Hon. JohnE.
King, District Judge, presiding, is
now in the fourth week Of its session.
The jury SO far has been engaged
exclusively in the trial of criminal
cases. 1t will be seen by consulting
our previous issues that there have
been eighteen trials by jury at the
present session, and that there have
been fourteen convictions, three ac-
quittals, Il mis-trial, and three
plead guilty.
1t is universally conceded that in
point of intelligence and morality
the present jury has never been excel
led, if indeed equalled, and that the
uniform patience and attention with
which the jurors listened to the evi-
dence, arguments, and charges of the
court, and the conscientious, cnlight-
ened, and impartial manner Ill which
they formed and rendered their YER
diets, justly merited the high compli-
ment of the District Judge that they
had given dignity to trial by jury.
The jury was discharged Oh We'd
nesday until Monday, December 4th.
Already it is acknowledged publicly
that the hands of the friends and Of
ficers of law, justice and good order,
have been greatly strengthened by
the proceedings Of our present ses.

mark that with the same officers OF

Until the geological survey of California had
pushed its explorations to the southern por-
ton of the Sierra Nevada, it was supposed
that Mount Shasta was the heighest pr ak in
the United States, if not in North America.
The altitude of this mountain was deter
mined at IA, 400 feet. In the southern Sierra,
however, the adventurous geolosist found a
region of 300 or more square miles, which
has a general elevation OF 5000 feet, and is
capped by a century of peaks, rising more
than 500 feet higher, w of which are
higher than the Shasta. The most lofty of
these peaks, Mount Whitney, was assembled
to a elevation of Is, 7s0 feet, and is probably
800 or 400 feet higher. Ehe next highest,
Mount Tyndell, measuresl4,500 feet.
