Boventeen yoars ago, & murdor waa committed near Cairo, 1n his State, and until yostorday the Inw bias not been able to lay its hands on the al- loged porpotrator. Iis name is Smith, and his victim was Goorge Denny, whom he killed in 1856, A convention to meet in New Orleans, Nov. 24, has boen called by the Committes of Savouty in that city, to consider somo morsuros to better tho political situstion in Louisiana. It will be compored of dologatos choson by porsons irre- spcclive of party who are opposod to the Kellogg clique. e In the Michigan Constitutional Convention, sostorday, thoro was & loug discusslon conoorn~ ing the proposed section of the article on Rail~ roads, prohibiting the issue of waterod stooks. A Mr. Jarome opposcd the soction, a8 belng of & piece with the injudicious railroad logislation of other States, to which ho attributed tho prosent tinancial crigia. . An unfortunate balloonist mot a sad fato yes- terdsy at Wapello, Tows, when making an ascen- sion from the fair-grounds, His hot-air balloon caught fire as it loft the ground, and carried him up unconecious of tho flames above him, tll at tho hoight of 1,600 feet tho ropes that supported tho bar on which ho was performing somo gym- nastio feats burned away, sud be fell to tho ground. It is but a fow woeks sinco that & simi- lar fate bofell Lo Mountain at Yonis, Mich. The State Board of Assossors of New York havo comploted theirlabors, attor soveral montha’ gossion, and return the aescesed value of 27,~ 876,338 nores of lond in tho State at $1,693,623,- 071, and that of the personal proporty $487,102,~ 815, Of theso amounts, Now York County (which is virtually Now York Gity) pays on $707,- 148,665, or nearly onc-half of tho asscssed value of tho entiro real estato in the Btato, and on £300,949,423, or about three-fourths of all per- gonal property in the Btate, Tho total nssessed waluo of roal and personal property in the Btate 18 £2,129,625,386, of which New York is crodited with $1,104,008,087. Mail advicos from London regarding the last doys of the Gorman occupation of Verdun re- port a singular incident that was neglected in tho cablodispatelies. Whon tho last installment of the indemaity had boen paid, and srrange- ments for tho ovacuation of Fronch torritory had boon comploted, the Gorman authorities pre-’ souted & supplementary claim for 1,000,000 franes. This extraordinary levy woa justified on thoground that oxpenditures to this amount had been mnde in maintaining the French postal- aervice In the dopartments occapled by tho Ger- man forces. The Govornment at Vorsailles was at onco apprised of tho complication that had arigon, and an ordor was returned for the pay- ‘mont of the sum demanded. Tho bids for the ornamental plastoring of the Ilhnois State-Flousa wore oponed at Springfield on the 3d inat. Tho highest bid was $185,000; tho lowest, by Smith & Eastman, of Chicago, was for §05,000. Tho job was of course awarded to thoe latter firm, which bas sinco doclined it, forfeiting §1,000, according to the terms of the contract, The noxt lowest bid was by Goddard & Do Joune, of Chicago, for £127,000. If, by tho rulo, upon tho failure of tho lowest bidder to tako the contract the next lowest succoeds, then Goddard & De Jeuno - ‘1d woll afford to pay the forfeituro of Bmith & Eastman ; other bidders might do the samo for Goddard & Do Joune. The forfoiture scems to have boon & small ono §f intended to prevent collusion. The Iutor-State Industrinl Exposition was formally oponed yosterday eveningin the pres- euco of an sudionce which did not fall much below fiftoen thousand persons. The incessant Iabor of the day had cleared away all the rub- bisb, and loft the main hall and gallory in & con- dition very near completion, There were somo vacant spaces, but tho expositors to whom they hiavo been aesigned will have their goods in place in a fow days. Tho general appoarance of the Exposition was most creditablo to all concerned, and this display of the arts and Industries of the Northwest was looked upon with admiration by ol presont. Tho mooting by which tho Exposl- tion waa formally opened was presided ovor by Mr. Coolbaugh, and was addressod by Senators Oglosby and Logan, Gov. Bovoridge, Mayor Boud, aud Mr. Bouton, ————— ‘The Chicago produce markots wore loss active yestorday, bu breadstuffs woro higher all round, ths rocont dovline having brought large buyiug orders here, accompanled by the cur- ronoy. Mess pork was quiet and easler at §16.60 @16,00 cash, and 913,00 seller Docomber.

A sonsational and lnghly-colored statomont was promulgated yostorday, that nll the banks in Chicago hiad rosolved to close thelr doors and suspond business, This vicious falsohood pro- duced & tomporary panie, both lore and olsowhora; but whon the ho\}x camo for oponing their doors, and it was found thal thoy woro all- traneacting their business a8 usunl, and that no exceasivo domanda wore mado upon them by depositors, tho usual courso of things was resumed in busi- ness ciroles. If thoro is to bo a gonoral suspen- slon throughout the country, it is inev- itabla that the stronger and more fortunate banks will not consent to sacrifice their standing resources to carry tho woker ones much longer, An isauo of clearing-house cortificates, such ns has beon adopted in New York, Philadelphia, snd othoer cities, may sorve to avert the crisis here. Up to the prosont timo, howoever, all tho cloarancos in this city havo been effected with ourrency, showing that the Chicago banks are botter provided with roady moane than those of Eastorn citics. Tho [ doy olosed without any symptoms'of a panic, although great anxioly was folt to ob- tain nows from othor parts of the coun- try. On tho Board of Trado & 1ather buoyant faoling prevailed in consoquonce of the arrival of purchagors from tho East and from Canada, with supplios of currency, to take advantago of the low pricos of grain, At tho Union Stook-Yards, howover, it was found im- possible to receive any more cattle, tho yards being already full and no buyers to take away the oxieting stock. In New York, the day passed off quictly, Tho crowds whioh have assermbled in Wall and Broad stroots for somo days past wore not visiblo, A feoling provailed that a general suspension of thoe banks would be nccoseary, aud s rumor .provailed that tho Bocrotary of tho Treasury had advised that course. This rumor, howaver, was suthoritatively contradicted, the Secrotary doclining Lo adviso the banks in any way. It transpived that tho Sub- Troasury in Now York had disburacd $25,000,000 in greenbanka in the purcha o of bonds,and that o portion of this had como out of the so-called resorvo of $44,000,000. At this pointthe purchase of bonds wag stopped. I was also learned that a large amount of bonds were in fransile from country banks to Now York for conversion into groenbacks, which, of course, cannot now bo sold. It is ovident that if tho law permitted such con-~ vorsion without limit, rolief would soon be ob- tainod, since the ability of tho countryto hoard money is itself limited, and is far less than tho smount of bonds which would bo offered under tho stimulus of the prosent low prices of property. The difticuity of gatting curroncy has caused a blockado of the breadstuffs, provision, and cotton trades in New York. Nevertholess, large shipments of curroncy wore made yesterdny to the South and Wost by the various expross lines, Tho banks of Baltimore; Cincinnati, Bt. Louis, New Orleans, and several other cities have fol- lowod tho action of the Now York buuks, and are only paying out curroncy to meet the actual nocessities of customers, Inthe prosent condition of things, it ie not likely that this currency will be rodoposited in the bauks. Everything depends on the next fow days. If tho banka sueceod in maintalning their credlt; if they can satisly their oustomers, not of melr:flmmm solvonecy (for nobody-doubts that), but'that all reason- able demands upon them for currency will bo mot, tho monoy now 8o rolentlessly hoarded will bo returned to them, and the crisis will be past. A genersl susponsion, however, would b an enormous calamity, sinco thoro is no place upon which business could rebuild itself. To provent this every offort should e strained. The banks are tho channels through which tho mighty exchanges of the continent aro adjusted. To adjust themseclves to any other channols must be the work not meroly of daya and weeks, but of years, and the losses - incurred in’ tho readjustment would bo enor- mous, And theso would bo real and not imag- inary losses, since the construotion of such cost- 1y machinery must bo paid for out of the prop- erty exchanged. Tho only place where anything liko a panic ac- curred yesterday was at Memphis, where thrao banks closed their doors, The Boaton banks mot and resolved that thora was nothing in the situation calling for any change in their ususl modo of doing business, About $700,000 in gold was shipped from Liv- erpool to Now York yestorday for the purchase of breadstuffs, and this is likely to ! s followed by still larger shipments, sinco the price of ster- ling exchange Lhas fallen to a morely nomioel polnt, Tho London Daily News thinks that the prosent panio in the United States may causo & resumption of speclo payments. It ia quite certain that any large sule of gold at tho progent moment would force the prico down to a much lowor figure than it has reached at any time since tho War, in spite of the now issue of greonbacks from the $44,000,000 roservo, AN INCENDIARY PUBLICATION. Binco Mondsy or Tuesday last, somo of the banls of this oity which havelargo doposits from country banks have been unable to return those ‘balances in currency es fast as thoy wore drawn for, To that extent thoy have beenin o state of virtual suspension, Other banks, and by far the larger number, having to deal only with oity dopositors, Linve been paying all domands upon them, both ovear the counter and at the Clearing- Touse, The firat-montioned bauks, find- ing their own tails out off, thought it would be a wiso thing to call all tho foxen togothor, and got them to ouk off thelr toils, soanto be in the fashion. Accordingly, thoy assombled on Wednesday night, and, after considerable debato, resolved, in substance, that if any fox wanted hiu tail cut off, tho reat wonld make no objection. 1In othor words, if any bank wanted to pay small cheoks and rofuse to pay largo onos, the rost would consent that it should do ga. Al the banka opened thelr doora yestor- day morning, and wout about their business as uaual, and all sottled their Clearing-House bal+ ancoa with currency, The Ohicago Times, however, seized npon thie insignificant ciroumstance to mako & sensa- | tlon ¢ the exponso of oreating a panlo, It do- olared in flaring hoad-lines that all tho banka in Obicago liad *cloved thoir pleces.” Oitizens | who saw thig startling announcemont camo down town oxpecting to find every bank shut-up and mobs of dépositora besleging tholr doors, Tostond of this thoy found overy bauk opon aud tranancting its business as usual, and no disturbance anywhero oxcopt such ay had beon crented by ihis incendinry publication. Novortheloss, = sovero shook bad boen givon to publio confidonce, and the Loalth- ful and renssuring tono which had been recovered on Wodnosday wnas rudely roveraod. It was soon that tuls alarming falsohood, that all tho banks in Cbicago wore shut up, would go out to the country and produco frosh dismay in quartora whoro it could not bo contradicted, and that the result would bo & still groater and florcor domand for groonbacks, oausing evory- body to hoard curroncy, and precipitating the very panio which Las thus far been skillfully avoided. v If & gonoral panio ensucs from this affair it will bo due entirely to tho action of tho short~ tailod banks and to the willfully-oxaggorated and sensational articlo in tho Zimes. A plaln statomont of tho oase is, that & fow banks have obtained the eanction of thoir neighbors—such sanotion being not necessary, and of no avail ouo, way or tho other—to do publicly what they havo baon doing privately for govoral dayaj that is, to refuso paymont in curroncy of their country bal- suces, just as tho Now York banks some days ago rofused to pay thelr country balancas. Tho country banks, anticipating a run upon thom- solves, call for their balances in the city, while city depositors, being In daily consultation with thelr bankers, and oxpecting no run upon thom- solven, draw oven loss than usual, and only what their .actual necossities require. Of course, the country bauks have the same right to demand tho curroncy duo to thom that city depositors have, They have thelr own liabili- ties to meot. Rofuesl to pay thom is an act of bankruptoy, Tho caso as it stands shows that the systom of payiug intorest on deposits, and thus attracting largo sums of monay, liable to be callod for at & moment’s warning, is un- eafo, Thore is no reason why banks which do mnot pursue this policy shounld involvo themeolves in the samo calamity. It will bo timo for thom to proclaim their own bankroptey when it occurs. 8o long 88 they can porsuade their depositors to do business with checks, cortificates, and such amounts of currency 88 are actually required to pay wages and grocers’ bills, they aro on solid ground— there is no harm done, If thoy outstrip the public in undernmuning confidence, thoy must ex~ poct tho woret consequonces to fall upon thom- solves. City dopositors have thus far beon ox- tromoly moderate and roasonable in their de- mands. Thoy have aright to domand that at Ienst equal cooluess shall bo exhibited by the banks thomselves. INSENSATE FOLLY. ‘The flurry, datingits origin with the failuro of Jny Cooke & Co., is now nine days old, and it is timo to ask what there is in tho circumstances ond condition of the country to warrant the ap- prekionsion of auy porson. Tho man who spoc- ulates atakes his monoy on the chances of large rolurns, or partial, perbapa total, loss. If the speculation fails Lo, loges. Hia loss, howaver, involves no destruction of property, nor any ro- duction of real values. There has been an ac- tusl investmont of many millions of dol- lars in unproductive railways; this money has been for tho time sunk, To the extont that it was built with foreign capital thoro hias boen no loss to us, because wo have the property and our creditors havoe thoe bonds. Wo aro In possession of the assots, bo they groat or emall, and the foreign creditor i8 at the disndvantage. The failures of Jay Cooke & Co., Heury Clews & Co.,and tho forty or fifty sma'lor brokers bave mot boon csusod by any loss of | property, or any calamity or misfortune in the loast degreo affocting tho production or wealth of the country. Theso persopa were carrying stocks and .bonds st o flotitious valuation ; thoy were uuablo to munintain theso socuritios at moro than their actusl worth ; and, aa all their means was invested In themargin betweon the real ond tho fictitious, they collapsed. Their fato a8 0o moro than the ordinary fate of any man who stakes his money in a game of chance, Notwithstanding thoso facts, known to all per- sons, thero is a foeling, as irrational as i ia fov- erigh, to draw from the banks and other places of doposit such monoy as may bo there. Whon it Ia drawn out of bank, to proteot it from being robbed It must bo placed on doposit somewhoro olso. Porsons depositing ‘their monoy in any bank are presumed to bave given at loast ordi- nary iuvostigation to the character of the insti- tution in which they make it. Dopositors with Jay Cooke and Honry Olews got more in- torest than thoy could from legitimato bankers, Tho fact that these bankers were ou- gagod In speculatich—that thoy woro floating bonds and stocks at figures far sbovo theirrosl value—was notorious, and depositors, in con- sideration of tho rate of intorest, nssumed the increased riek. Both banker and de- positor wero wpoculators in that case, aud both ehared the consequences of tho explosion, But, in tho caso of ordinary deposits in banks doing an ordinary businoss, the depositor must be presumed to havo investigated tho responsibility of tho inati- tution to which he confided his money. The renson givon by those who scck to draw their deposita is, that the bank may suspend pay- ments. A bank supponsion, general or partial, had some significance or moaning when tho money of the country was gold or silyer. A baok may be rotton and lusolvent, and fail ; but to tolk of a susponsion of payments at this timo is the use of an old term witlout any of its eignifioance, A suspension of payments in promisos to pay at somo indofi~ nito time In the uncertain future, is absurdity on its faco, In fact, the United States Govorn mont has suspended payments ever since it made Troasury notes a logal-tonder, Ever aluce it stopped paylug coln for its debts it Las sus- ponded payments, It has {ssued ovidences of {udobtedness, boaring no interest andpayablo at , no time, and those constitute the “money” which the bauks hold and which the dopositors aook to draw out before the hnnkfi **suspond paymont.” Tho wholo theory of o gonoral sus- pension of payments, when there s not a dollar of coinon doposlt anywhore, and when the entiro ciroulating medium conalsts of indefl- nite promises to pay, is an abaurdity, Yet tho bunt after groonbncke is aa ardent as it could bo if tho monoy on depoit was a roality and not s fiction, It seems to be forgatien that the whole businosa of tho country is done undor a suspension of actual payments, and that we have no monoy othor than irredeomabla printed promises, A bank suspension as distingulshoed from a bank failure moans nothing moro, at best, than a refusal $0 pay out one olsss of promissory notes, or evidencos of debt, in oxchango for another, ) Considorlng that thero Ia just the ssmo smount of pioperty, with undiminished valuo, now in tho couniry as thoro was bofore the panio began ; that wo havo oll tho goods, mer- ohandiso, bread, and provisions that we had bofora tho panio ; that nothing has boon loat ; that nothing s disapponrod but what was fraud- ulont and fictitious,—tho penic is a supromo absurdity, The convorsion of properly into . ‘conbacks, and the hoarding of the latter, Is ono of thoso irrationnl procesdings which in- tolligont pooplo oceaslonally adopt in moments ot blindnosa and suddon fear. Tho wisest courso {8 to draw out tho groonbacks from thoir hiding- places, and put thom in somo form of tangible property, whoro it will be productivé and can bo soon, 'HE G ADE, In the prosent orisis, whon tho financial sklos arodark aud throntening, thore isone dopart- ment of trade whoso current cannot bo stopped, although it may bo momontarily chocked. Wo allude to the movomont of wheat to tho soa- board and to Europo, Our crop is abundant, tho quality fs good, sud it is cortain that Eng- land and tho Continent must Lave all we can sparothem. Dispatchos received horo roport that tho correspondents of Livorpool housos in Now Yorkworoready on Wadnosday to purchase whoat and to pay for it in curronoy or coln. This fack was manifost on the Board of Trado yestorday, where pricea advanced and buyers wero roady to pay for thoir purchasos by cash on delivery. Bomo of the buyers had dispatehos that cash had been shipped by expross, and would arrive in a day or two, but to them an advauce of one to two conts was made. The low pricos atill ruling will stimulato buyors, and wa should not bo surprised to sco & very active markat within the noxt week, oven though all transactions woro made with groonbacks from hand to hand, Tho movoment in whont broaking as it must the business blookade, our morchants and manu. facturers and commisslon-houses may still ex- poct s good fall busiucss, Tho Northe wost hes an sbundanco of all food pro- Quots, and tho Enstorn Btatos and Europo must have them. Of courso thoy must poy for thom, and, if our peoplo have not maturing indobtodnees to offset, they must pay in ourron- oy orin coin. Our citizena will remembor that, when tho banks sl suspondod in 1801, and for & weak or two nobody had any money, the Enstorn clties sont their gold to the West to buy our grain, and provisions, and, for a time at lonst, business was excoodingly mctiva, Wo seco no renson, therefore, for any continued staguation in the channels of trado. 5 CONDITION OF THE RAILROADS, Tho rosponsibility for the presont Anancial crisiaests mainly with tho rmilroads and thoir sutagonists. Thoughtful observers predictod & popular reaction against the dangorous power concentratod {u the groat corporations. Con- sclous of thoir might, the railronds ignored tho rising importance of tho Grangers. They do- clined to conciliate them. Now the littlo cloud, at firat no biggor than & man’s hand, has gathe ored in sizo until its gloom oversprends the con- tinent. Exagporated at boing deomed of no conse- quence, tho Grangors united in an onslaught that has been translated in Europo as a commu- mnistio war upon vested rights and ‘proporty, This impression was given at an unfortunate time. Noarly 0,000 milos of raiiroad wero pro- Joctod, chiofly in tho Wost. The capitat roquired amountod to the enormous sum of $240,000,000, placing tho avarage cost at 30,000 per mile. ‘The expectation wag to socuro at least one-third of tho amount from Europe. Hod the political Lorizon not beon ovoreast, no dificulty would have boon oxperienced. The plothora of capital in Gormany, consequont upon the prompt payment of tho French war indem~ nity, creatod a demand for invostmonts. Amori- can soouritios would have hoen eagerly seized upon had tho capitelista not rocently sufforod from worthless railrond Londs issued by some of our Western roads. While negotiations woro ponding to convinco thom of tho cortain profit of thoso offored, the threatenings of the Gran- gors rerched Europe, aud American railroad bonds became a drug on tho market. As goon a8 this rosult bocamo known, all rail- rond construction stopped, Then the impond- ingdisaster bogan to bo felt. Ohicago was not exompted. Ordors woro g'ven to suspend all. worl upon tho short lino to St. Louis, aud halt & dozen other projecta calculated materially to dovelop tho Woat foll through. The Mil- waunkeo & Bt. Paul surrondorod the St. Croix land-grant from sheer fuability to build the ro- quired rond, and the Northwostorn indefinitely postponed the construction of their proposcd air- lino from Milwauloo to Lodi, The Canada Southern, which was confidently expected would run into Chicago next month, dragged slowly along, and has now littlo prospect of connacting Chicago with Buffalo for & year or two to come, + The roported capital of the railronds of the ‘Wostern and Southorn States amounts to nearly $1,900,000,000. To wage wur upon this vast; propor= ty in a mannor caloulated irroparably to damago it, wag corfainly ill-ndvised, and must return upon the promotors of the hostility. Griovances undoubtedly there were, In tho nature of things, it could not bo otherwise, 8o stupendous & systom could not bocreated without sbuses creoping in, but correction is not to be found in annihilation, One thing is iuevitabls, The failure of tho railronds to nogotiato their bonds will nocossl- tate rigorous cconomy. In prosperity thoy are among the groatest patrons of industry, Ono offect of thoir embarrassmonts Is alroady soon in the recont dischargo of over one thousand men at tho Patorson (N. J.) locomotive works. Thoy will scarcely bo in the market this soason for incroased equipmonts. Ono Obicago com- pany yostorday dismissed 500 mon, aud will shortly add to the numbor. Tho samo economy will extend to evory branch of Industry affoctod by tho railronds. Some of them aro carrylng lieavy burdens, Tho cutting off their rooeipts at & time whon notos aro fast falling duo prosonts & prospeot gloomy to contemplate, Evon shiould they weather the storm, and tho Grangors, eatisfled With what they havo dono, ceaso thelr attaoks, inoromsed equipment and stool rally aro not probabilitios of the near fu- ture, Bome vory Intoresting details in the lite of the Hon. J, P. Jonos, the new Bouator from Novads, who croated considorablo sousation last winter by plaolng about $80,000 whore it would do him most good, vamely, to cloct himsolf Bouator, hiavo recently appoared. Ho is au nglishman, and was born in Herofordshire, in the yoar 1820, His parents immigrated to Cleveland, Obio, whon he was but two yoars of ago, and in that olty ho commonced his busipass Lfo as a bauk- | teller. Ho wont to California during the gold oxcltemont, and got n position in the San Fran- claco Custom-Houso, Ilo aflorwards turned up 88 & Justico of tho Peaco, and subsoquontly servod os Dopuly Shoriff, Bhoriff, and State Bonator, In 1867, ho stumped California a8 n oandidato for Licutonnut-Govornor on the Qorham ticket, was dofeatod, and wont to Vir- ginis City, Novadn, n poor man., Tho Comstock lode, howover, paved his way to & princely for- tuno. In comblnation with others, ho got con- trol of tho Kontuck mine, aud it Ia statod that, during tho past six years, his mining opera- tlons hinve amassod for Lim a fortuno of 810, 000,000. Tho quartz mills have ground him out both a fortuno and o Seuatorship, Iow tho lat- ter was accomplishod, Low rival sspiranta wore bought off, and how tho campaign committoss wero fixod, has beon told bofors. It {m only nocossary to comploto this briof blogrsphy by stating that ho is & Ropublican. e REFORM AND REPUBLICANISM. Tho exact difforonce betwoon Reformors and Ropublicans may bo ascortained by comparing tho rosolutlons passed by tho Now York Repub- lican Convention and the Wisconsla Boform Copventlon, both of which were heldon Wodnos- day lnst. The Now York Ropublicans did not touch o pingle izsuc now before the American peoplo; on tho other hand, tho Wisconsin Re- formors grappled with vital issuos, and ox- pressed thotr views In no uncertain way. The Ropublicaus rosolved, as they have done for yoars, on elavery, tho supprossion of tho Robollion, tho preservation of tho Union, etc., otc.,—tho snmo old questions which wore settled yoars ago, and have no more con- nection with or influence upon the condition of affirs in thia country to-dsy than the Iast firman of the Sultan of Turkoy. Tho Roformors, on tho othor hand, seized upon such issucs ny tho publio credit, transportation, railrond sub- sidios, protectivo tariffs, railroad oxtortions, corruptions, bribes, bond-swindles, usurpation of unconstitutional powars, Credit Mobllicr frauds, snlory-grabs, and fraudulont clections, and Bugs geatod tho romodies to apply in each cage. Horo 1s somothing real’and tangiblo. These are tho quostions which aro the topics of tho day, tho vory questions for waut of o sottlomont of.. which the country is now suffering the results of financial panic. Those are the questions which aro now discussod at every firoside aud at overy gothering of the peoplo, and which must bo amonded before nnothor Prosidential claction. Tho Ropublicans dodged; thom; tho Reformers confronted thom, and showed them- aclves capublo of dealing with them, all of which goes to show that the Republican party is s porty of the past; the Roform party, s party of tho presont ; that the ono is raking over dead oashes, while tho othor recognizes an emergoncy, ond is compotont to deal with it; that the one points back, while the other points forward, DECLINE OF INTERNATIONALISH, The procoedings of the International Work- ingmon's Congross, as it is called, which was recontly hold at Genove, show that tho name of International nias lost the importance which it once possessed, and that it canno longer boa terror to the Europesn Governmonts, ns it hag been, Ite power is & thing of tho past. Tho ro- porta which woro presented to the Congress show that neither tho soction which was in sose sion, nor tho faction which was lod off by Dr. Mars, hos made sny progross. The soasion woa principally occupled with questions, upon the softlemont of which tho vory oxlatonce of thoir organlzation dopends. ‘Tho only quostion of intorast to tho outside world which aroso was the foasibility of organizing n goneral strikio,—that is, the susponsion of works on the pame day throughout tho world. The Congroes arguad tho question for a long time, some contending that such a strike was impossi- blo, aud others that it would bring about the real omancipation of the workingmen in a ponce- ful mauner. On one point tho Congress was unanimous, and the} was tho usclessnoss of partinl strikes, from tho fact that auy incroaso of wages wns always countorbulanced by an increase in tho prico of tho nccossities of lifo. Tho disoussion summed itself up In the adoption of arosolution, * That a general strilo should not bo doclared until the moment when oll the trades were organized internationally, and that this organization, as yet very incom- plote, would have to bo accomplished in overy country." This is tantamount to a surrender of the wholo subjoct. Even without cousid- ering tho impossibility of & gonoral strike, the vory condition of tho International Socioty itsolf, by its own roports, is an admiss sion that thoy cannot deal with euch a gigantia proposition. After this fecblo exbibition of its power, workingmen ought to be convinced of its inability to accomplish any substantial good for thom. Tt is saxd that Carl Yogt, tho man who wag ar- rented in this country last March as the alloged murderer of the Chovalior do Biauco, in Bel- gium, Ling beon motamorphosed during his im- prisonment from n handsomo young man with osy cheoks and black bair iuto o decrepid old man of gray locks and haggard look. Ho has cortainly passed through enough trisls and viciesitudes to whiten his’ bair' aud blanch his cheoks ovon if remorso has had nothing to do with the change,” Threo times has he bcou on tho vory brink of destruction, and as many timos saved aftor ho bud forsskon all hope. Tiice tho dotectives had him in a carriage on tho way to the ocean steamer to talo him to Belgium or Prussia for trial, aud each timo ho was rescued with but & tow moments to spare. First, Bol- glum mado application for his dolivery on the grounda of international comity, but the appli- cation waa finally refused becanso thore is no oxtradition treaty botwoon the two countrios, Thon Prussia mado tho domand on tho ground that Vogt was n subjoct of that Kingdom, and the Court ordered the extradition ; but the Beo- rotary of Stato, on tho opinion of tho Attornoy- Goneral, declined to issus tho papers. At one time the prisonor was to be expolled from New York undor an obsolote etatuto, and Gov. Hoff- ‘man actuslly mado the order. But he was ros- cued on o writ of habeas corpus a8 the oficers wore taking him to the stoamer, nud tho statufo wad deolared uunconstitutionsl, When dis- chargod, o fow days ago, Vogt was rearrcated n acivil suit for the rocovery of the stolon property, and Is again in Jail Benator Windom, of Minnosota, has given the Minneapolls Zribune his rousons for niot having coverod his baok-pay Into the United Btatos Troasury, He uays, in briof, that he has not done 8o bocuuso there is no Iaw authorlzing such a transnction, and thot it would romain subjoct tolls order it ho would doso, Ho intimatos that hio has boon sustained in this opinion by the United Btatos Tronsuror and tho Comptrollor of the Ourroncy. Wo havo soen some vague in- timatlons to this offoct, bLut donot remembor that cithor of thoso gontlemen has over made an official statomout of llm‘lldnd. ‘Whothor thoy hinvo done o or not, it would not change the fact that thoro Is no Inw agaiuut Congroas- mon covering thelr back-pay futo the Treasury it thoy soo fit to do #0; and wo spprohend that it would ba someyhat difficult for them to ro- covor what thoy iad thus given away. Iowover, it Is gratifying to loarn that Mr. Windom I8 op- posod to the whole back-pay buslness, and thiat ho will, at an early day, Introduce a bill to ro- poal tho salary act, and to onablo allto cover tholr back-pay iuto the Trossury who have boon troubled with tho anme compunctions ss Mr. Windom.

The New York Tribune thinks that Judgo Hoar has ruined his prospect for tho appolntment by the active part he took in tho campaign against Butler, and the vory Strong futimation of u bolt in caso Butlor should bo nominnted, Tho concluaton, however, is, that, by taking this stand, Judge Honr has douo tho country ns much sorvico ns if he had boen nominated to & placo on tho Supreme Bonch and confirmod. Some fierce Ropublican nowapapors ara calling upon tho opposition pross todonounce William M, Evarts' claiis to the posis tion becauso ho Luns, in his capacity as attornoy and connsclor-at-law, taken part in tho dofonsoof tho Crodit Mobilicr auits brought by tho Govern- mont in tho United Btates Cirouit Court, at Hartford, Conn. Tho conneotion is rather ro- moto. Now that Gon. Grant has waitea thus long, it 18 mot probable that ho will make the appointment before Congress comes together Then, a8 in tho cage of Judge Ward Hunt, it is quito possiblé that he will nominate some ono ‘whoso name haa nover yet boon suggested. Gen. Grant’s appointmonts are somotimes, as Dun- droary eaye in tho play, *“ Ono of those things that no fellow ean understand.” — The death of Lidi-Mahomed, the Bultan of Morocco aud Fez, was recently announced by cablo dispatch, Ho was in his 70th yenr at tho timo of his death, and had beon on the throne sinco 1860, Ho married, in his youth, s Fronch woman, named Virginia Lanternler, un- dor rathor rotantio circumstances, Sho wont from Franco to Algoria with hor parents, in 1834, and was takon prisonor by tho Moroo- cosus. Tho Emperor saw her, and, fas- civated by her beauty, fall in love with and mwried hor, and afterward at{ached the whole family to his court and took caro of them, His reign was full of turmoil and outbreaks, and was also often seriously disturb- ed by tho diplomatio arrangements of the Eu- ropean Powers. In 1864, he accorded to Eu- ropoana tho privilege of trading in Lis domin- dons, and, in 1867, Lo placed himself at the hoad of an army of 80,000 people, and roducod his rofractory subjects to comploto submission. Binco thon, his dominions have boen tranquil,, and his subjeots have rogarded Ohristion na- tions with respect. *Tho action of any Ropublican Convention at the presont timo posscescs very little intorost, but tlio Now York Ropublican Convention, which met at Utica on Wednesday and pased resolu- tions, scems to havo succooded in muking itsolf not only very unintoresting, but entirely absurd, For n convention of Republican politicians to got togother at the presout timo and rehash the same old stalo stufl about the nbolition of slavery, the supprossion of tho Rebellion, tho prosorvation of the Union, tho establishmont of equal clvil and political rights, the adjustment of foreign complications, the overthrow of Tammany, and othor issucs which were sottled yoars ago and buried, is no compliment to their own sagacity, 88 well as a virtual fnsult to the Intelligence of tho peopte. The resolutions of tho Now York Republican Convontion, which do not meet a single one of tho vital issues crowding upon the peoplo of this country for solution, na they never ‘have before, are of no maro conesquence than the resolutions of a convention of fossils of the saurian period would be, The Iatest Californin papers bring the impor- tant intelligence from Australia, via Honolulu, that the Captnin of Her Dritish Majesty's steamer Basilisk has takon possession of Now Guinoa in tho name of the Queen, No dotails aro givon. The posaossion of this island, ono of tho largest in the world, teoming with every va- rioty of mineral and vegetablo product, occupied by thrao distinct races of men, numbering several millions, intéraccled In every dircction by navigable rivors, and having every gradation of climate, is of moro than ordinary importance, as it virtually givea to England the command of the Bouth Pacifle and tho China soss, and must have & very important influonce in angmenting her eastorn commeorce.
