DECLINE OF INTERNATI0NAL1sM

The proceedings Of the International Work.
ingmon's Congress-, as it IL called, which was
recently held ut Geneva, show that tho namo of
International has lost the importance which il
once possessed, and that it can no longcr bo q
terror to the European Governments, as it has
boon. It's power is thing of the past. Tho ro-
ports which wore presented to tho Congress-
show that neither tho section which was in eos-
sion, nor tho faction which waa lod or bY DR..
Marx, has male any progress. Tho session
was principally occupied with questions,
upon tho settlement Of which tho
very oxistonco Of thoir organization depends.
Tho only question Of interest to tho outside world
which arose was tho feasibility OF organizing
general strlko,--that ia, tho suspension Of works
on tile came day throughout tho world. Tho
Congress argued tho question for long tmo,
some contending TINT such strike Was impossi-
bio, aud others that it would bring about tho
real emancipation Of tho workingmen in ponco-
full mauuor. On ono point tho Congress- Was
unanimous, ard that was tho useossness
of partial strikes, from tho fact that any
increase Of wages wns always countcrbalancod
By an increase in tho prico of tho necessities of
life. Tho discussion summed itself up in tue
adoption Of areaolution, ''Ihat general strike
should not be declared until tho moment when
all the trades wero organizod internationally,
and TINT this organization, AZ yet worry incom-
plete, would hare to be accomplished in every
country" This il tantamount to q surrender
OF the whole subject Even without coustd-
oring the impossibility OF general strike, tho
worry condition OF tho international Society
itsolf. BY ita own reports, is I'll admis-
sion that they cannot deal with such gigantic
proposition. After this teeblo exhibition Of it's
powor, workingmen ought to be convinced Of it's
inability to accomplish any substantial good for
theu.

Notwithstanding tho al1-abHorbing interest of
tho financial condition OF the country, aomo of
tho Journals have found timo to discuss tho prob
ablo succoBRion to tho vacant Chiof-Justicoship.
Tho Now York Herald has beon publishing &c.
RIGS Of articles calculated to dofoat Senator
conkling's ambition Of whom 1t acon,s to have
serious approximations. THO Now York Tribune
thinks that Judge Hohr has ruined his prospect
for tho appointment by tho active part no took
IN tho campaign against Butler, and the very
strong intimation of bolt in case But1or should
be nominated. The conclusion. however, is,
that, by taking this stand, Judge Hoar has
dono tho country rs much service as II he had
boen nominated to place On tho Supreme
Bench and confirmed. Some fierco Ronub,,oon
newspapers arc calling upon tho opposition pross
to todonounco William M. Evarts claims to tho posi-
tfon because ho has, In his capacity as attorney
and connsclorat-faw, taken part in tho lofouso OF
tho Crodit Alobillcr suits brought by tho Govern
mont in tito United statos Circuit Court, at
Hartford, Conn. The connection is rather re-
moto. Now that Con. Grant has waited thus
long, It ls not probable that ho will mako tho
appointment before Congress- comes together

quito possible that he will nominnto aome ono

ago refused to pay their country balances. Tho
country banks. anticipating run upon thom-

city dopositors, being In daily consultation with
their bankers, and expecting no run upon thom-
solves. draw ovon less than usual, aud only
what their actual necessities require. OF
course, the country bauks have tho samc right
to demand tho currency duo to tlom TINT city
depositors have. They have their OWL liabili-
tics to meot. Refusal to pay them is an act Of
bankruptcy. Tho case Oh 1t stands shows that
the system Of paying interest on deposits and
thua attracting largo sums Of money, liable to bo
called tor at moments warning, is un-
safe. There Ia no reason why banks
which do not pursue this policy should
1t will bc time for thom to proclaim their own
bankruptcy when it occura. So long as they
can persuade their depositors to do business
with checks, certificates, and such amounts Of
currency as are actually required to pay wages
and 4rocors' bills, they aro on Holid ground
there ia no harm done. II thoy outstrIp tho
public in undermining confidence, thoy must e1-
poet the worHt consequences to fall upon thoul-
selves. City dopositors have thus far boon OK
tromely moderate and reasonable in their do
mands. They have right to demand that at
