between Summit Station and Garden

cries OF help, coming from the saeebrush

following account of his being shot. He

THE purchase of the New York Shoe and
Leather Reporter by Mr.. Isaac Il Bailey
who takes editorial charge of the journal,
has been commented on in terms most fat
tering to that gentleman by the newspapers
of New York and by the country generally
Mr.. Bailey's long experience as hide aud
FEATHER merchant-from early youth until his
retirement from business in 1S72.-gives him
peculiar qualification for conducting the Or
gan of the leather and cognate trades; while
his powerful and graceful style of writing,
familiar to readers of the PRESS over the sig
nature of Yarmouth" his large aud inti-
mate acquaintance with public men and
affairs and his accurate knowledge and COM
prehension of the financial and business in
terests Of the country ensure elegant, forcible
and instructive discussion of all matters OF
which he may treat. He has done a good
deal of newspaper and other writing in his
time and his regular advent into journalism
is greeted most cordially by the press. From
the many appreciative notices which have
come to our attention we append the follow
ing from Harper's Weekly:
Mr.. Isaac H. Bailey, president of the N ew
England society. and one of the Commission
ers of the Department of Public Charities and
Corrections, has entered the editorial fir ,ternity
having purchased the Shoe and Leather Re
porter and become its editor. The Shoe and
Leather Reporter is in the twentieth year of it's
publication. IL is quarto of twenty eight
pages, ald from its many columns Of adver-
tisements gives substantial indication of pros
perity. 1t is. of course, devoted exclusively to
the interests of that great branch of com.
merce, the leather trade, and its reading mat
ter is rich in information relating to every-
thing connected with leather, from a hide to a
shoe-string. In all the country it would be
difficult to find gentleman more thoroughly
competent, both by long experience and ability
to conduct such journal than Mr. Bailey,

In his speech in Brooklyn that veteran pat

In his speech in Brooklyn that veteran pat
riot, Gen John A. Dix, said that the Repub-
lican party throughout the Union stood upon
the platform of paper redeemable in specie,
and the honest payment of debt, and would
fight the battle on that ground. The con-
test was not yet over, as Mr.. Pendleton of
Ohio had announced that it would be re-
newed. 1t would be the great issue in the
political canvass of 1876. While he did not
question the sincerity of the New York De-
mocracv, at the moment, in declaring for re-
sumption, he had no faith that their leaders
would adhere to their position it they be-
lieved that they could, by abandoning 1t, grasp
the sceptre of power; and he thought their
Republican friends there and elsewhere would
make fatal mistake by giving any one of that
party their confidence or contributing to e!e-
vate their candidates to Office.

The prefectOraI MOvemeut

In French politics every day brings its new
issues as surely rs it. according to the wisdom
of "Lothair," brings its vexations. Just now
Republicans and Monarchsts are fretting
themselves over what, in the political jargon
of Paris, is called the "prefectoral movement"
The promotion and changes made by NJ. Buf-
fet, are, it is claimed, all in the interest of an
Imperialist restoration. The charge of SYM
pathy with Bonapartism has been persistent
ly brought against M. Buffet ever since his
ministry was formed. To others than French
men the charge seems ill-founded. The EN-
pire left behind it eighty projects, two hun
dred sub-prefects, and ten thousand minor
officials. Doubtless majority of these SYM
pathized with the fallen government. The
projects were removed; but, without entirely
disregarding the traditions of the French
civil service, their subordinates could only be
removed for cause. So long as their Impe-
rialist proclivities were not made Extensively
apparent no action could well be brought
against them. The vacant prefectures were
naturally, in accordance with the spirit of
the civil service. filled by the promotion of
the subprefects. So the service is practical
bly, unchanged, the officials all being old
Bonapartists. M. Buffet however does not
of promotion was began by NJ. Thiers, who
has never been accused of love for the EN-
pire, and continued by his successors. When
ever prefect has proved himself too strong
a partisan-on the wrong side-he has been
removed.
These considerations, however, do not
move the Republicans, who persist in declar-
ing that the projects favor a Bonapartist res
toration, and that they have been appointed
because of their preferences. 1t is true
that they all served the empire, but they are
probably as ready to serve any government
which will keep them in Office. The chief
ground of complaint by the Republicans at
present is that the projects have been in
structed 10 use all their influence in favor of
the scrutin d darrondisspment, or the choice of
delegates by communes instead of by de-
partments. As the legislature has all the
power in this matter it is difficult to see what
good or i'll can be done by the projects. The
Republicans favor the scrutin de Rste, for the
reason that it gives them an opportunity to
test the famous Bonapartist plan of pie
biscite. They will put the name Of M. Thiers
at the head of each list throughout France,
