-The New York papers are still burthened with accounts of continued riots, wherein blood flows freely. and grim death is served up in time for the morning editions of the daily mail. We must receive these statements with several grains of allowance, remembering Inc partisan character of the Press in New York, aed the influence Mayor Wood sexerts among thos6 of his own class. What the anarchifs tfSls8f government in New York and most of our large cities fore shadows We do no. pretend to say. Bu. it does seem, when a man notorious as criminal, in the face of public and published evidence of guilt. is twice elected to the government of a city like New York, and in defiance of the laws of the Stale, and the decisions of is highest Court per- mtied to retain his position, to insult the mode- rate portion of community. to excite riots, and publicly asserting even before the assembled body of the city council, that he knows how to prevent the officers of government from fulfilling tl,eir duty, that We are yerging upon crisis novel, at least alarming in the annals of Republican gov rrnInents. However nnpalaiabIe the decision of tl'e Court at Albany Mayor Wood mus, be made to submit. and dsgraceful indeed is it that nan steeped In crime should hold a position of such importance ss tia. tf Mayor ef the fret city in tfe Uuiop.

 The shoe business continues in a more de. pressed state than at any time before for twenty years. Leather has fallen considerably and labor greatly; yet many workmen are out of employ. and the manufacturers, with little demands and Glliag prices for their goods, would not care to increase their business. even if the stock could be worked for nothing.
