Od. The Counter Revotution—How It Can Be Made Triumphant. We publish today an interesting corres- pendence touching the Presidential election. The letters, which come from various quartera, are descriptive of the condition and prospects of parties, and speculative as to the peril of the country in the event of black republicanism proving victorious in November. The writers stroogly urge union againet the common foe for the eake of the national Union founded by our ancestors; and one of them (the last in order) endorses the plan proposed by the Hexatn, to “loose the Gordian knot” and save the repub- lic from the difficulties and dangers by which it is beset. From these letters and from all the signe in the political firmament, it is evident that the old parties are broken up by the corruption and rascality of the leaders, and out of the ruins a new conservative combination is being formed, whose aim and object are to overthrow revolutionary abolition. This is the only defi- nite shape the counter revolution has yet taken. All the rest is involved in obscurity, and ia the eubject of conjecture and apeculation. What seems alone certain is, that none of the candi- dates opposed to Lincoln can be elected, ac- cording to present appearances and all human probability. The first great object to be secured is the defeat of the black republican candidate; and ‘o accomplish that, the claims of all the other candidates must be kept in abeyance. The candidate who most strongly presses his own pretensions, to the risk of the common ob- ject, will find himself in the end the lowest in the scale of popular favor, and the old saying sball be verified—‘“the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.” At present the Presidential question is in a state of temporary chaos and confusion, be- cause the old parties are dissolved into their original elements, and the new combinations in process of formation are not yet completed. But for this, as for all other political evils, there is a remedy in the constitution itself. The electors, upon whom devolves the right of choice, have the power in their own hands if they will use it aright’ Why does not the con- stitution give the people the right to elect a President direct? Because the founders of the republic thought it was wiser and safer to en- trust the important duty to honest, discreet and select men, in whom the people have confidence, in every State, than to leave it to the masses of the voters, who might be temporarily led astray by party artifice and demagoguism. The electors are the people’s committee to do what their sober and deliberate judgment dic- tates, By the provisions of the constitution and the laws of Congress, the people elect the electors, in order that they may elect the President, according to the discretion vested in them, and the obligations of their solemn oath. Why does the law provide for delay after they are elected, before they elect a President? Why is a period of three months allowed to elapse? In order to give the colleges of electors time for deliberation, and@ for consultation with the colleges of the sister States. This provision is utterly incompatible with the idea of party conventions making the President beforehand. By the practice of recent years the design of the constitution is frustrated, and by a gross perversion, instead of the electors electing the President, he is elected by vaga- bonds in the barroom and the grog- shop, and no discretion is left to the electors but to do their bidding. According to this system, what a furce it is to have electors atall. Why not let the rowdies and the shoulder hitters, and the blacklegs and thieves vote direct for the President? The electors are really re- sponsible to the laws and the constitution, to God and the country; and yet in the fuce of these considerations, and in violation of their oath, they have been hitberto in the habit of voting in obedience to the dictation of bands of con- spirators who league together to plunder the pecple. They are worse than useless; for if there was a direct yote for the President, all decent men who have a_stake in the community would have a fair chance. But as it is now the electors do what conven- tions tell them, and the conventions are the creation of the bands of burglars and bul- lies, and the scum and offscouring of society. It is high time that the electors should awaken from their delnsion, and become alive to n sense of their own responsibility, and act accordingly. They are not elected by the peo- ple to elect Breckinridge, or Douglas, or Beli, or any other candidate, but such man as, after due and the honor of the country. They are men of better character and sounder judgment than the members of conventions, or the members of Congress, and they are better qualified to se- lect o President than any conventions which bave yet met, or than such corrupt scoundrels ne those who constituted a majority of the late House of Representatives. I¢ remains for them to vindicate their own dignity and the free- em of their choice. according to the intention of the constitution, and to give a death blow to the system which has so long superseded it. By taking this high ground and making this bold stond, they would save the country, and immortalize their nomes in American history. Pexyevivaata Ponrretaxs axo New Yor« Moyet -The Pennsylvania politicians are again in the city, endeavoring to hambug the New York bankers and merchants into giving them money to carry on their cawvass, and save the State of Pennaylvau'a from the black republicans. This is the oll gome, and there are reasons as plenty as blackberries why it should not be played now. Tenneylyania poll- ticians are shrewd fellows with other people's money. In the last Presidential campaign some fifty or seventy five thousand dollars were raixed at the New York Hotel and sent to Philadelphia, but nobody ever knew what be- came of it after it got into the pockets of the Pennsylvania politicians, It subsequently leaked out, when certain other matters were overhauled, thatone man got fourteen thou- sand, and that he gave six thousand of that to somebody else to do something, pocketing the balance for hie own services. But even sup- posing the Philadelphia lawyers were not sharp and selfish, there is no reason why money should be required from New York to NEW YORK HERALD, ‘ te Py the conservatives and the destrncttves, Or} If we are to judge of | such on igsue, and with such a margin. Penr Sjivania ought tc be able to cave herself. We wart all the money we car raise here for New York State, which we are going to eave from | the black republicans, toc; aud we advise tle Pennsylvania politicians to go home and squeeze their own purses. To the New York- era we say, save your powder, we sre hardly getting into the heginning cf the fight yet, aud you will have chances to blaze away to some purpose before it is over. The Pres a the People—The Modern Vent for Grievance: The patriarchal picture of the kings of anti- quity, sitting at the gates of their palaces or fn their audience chambers, to hear the complaints and to receive the petitions of their subjects, always commends itself even to the minds of us moderns as a beautiful illustration of the sim- plicity and love of justice which are supposed to have fourished in those days. There was thea a direct accountability from the subordinate to the superior. A fraudulent tax gatberer or an oppressive underling was quickly brought to his senses under the summary mode of proce dure which obtained before civilization suc- ceeded in complicating forms and making jus- tice inaccessible. How inestimable would be those primitive and simple modes of treatment in these days of venal Legislatures and thieving city fathers, When we think of the Japanese swindle and city railroad franchises, we almoat regret that we have so far outlived the customs which prevailed In the golden prime Of good Haroun ‘Alrasobid. But though the Caliph no longer sits at the gate of his palace dispensing justice with an equal hand, or starts in disguise on nightly ex- peditions through the streets of Bagdad with his cute vizier to hear what his people say of him and his acts, we have, even in this in- tensely civilized age, an institution which responds, in many respecte, to the same needs. The independent press stands day and night in the most public place hearing complaints, lis- tening to suggestions and correcting abuses. Imitating the impartiality of the caliphs, it makes no distinction. High and low, rich and poor, ignorant and enlightened, come alike to this modern judgment seat to make known their gtievances, or gain attention to their sugges- tions: and the intelligent reporters of the press fake, themselves unknown, those daily and nightly rounds of investigation that used to form the evening amusements of the Caliph aad his vizier, and make them, too, with more effect. The independent press of the country thus fills the void which onr departure from these habits of antiquity made. Whatever grievance of a public nature exists is denounced to us by scores of pens. Whatever ideas of « practical or philanthropic nature illumine the minds of any members of the community are immediate- ly communicated. Nothing of public interest is allowed to escape our attention. We live in the full sunlight of events, and no public func- tionary betrays his trusts or neglects his duty without our being informed of it. And though we cannot bastinado the trans- gressor, or visit him with any of those exemplary modes of punishment which were in vogue in the @uys we refer to, we have a mode of our own, which ia, probably, on the whole, quite as efficacious. We can pil- lory the offenders by holding them up to public reprobation, as we have done in the case of our very honest and worthy legislators, Aldermen and Councilmen ; and if the people place them again in offices of public trust, the people de- serve to be again victimized and plundered. The national Congress has ceased to be a body for practical legislation ; State Legislatares are invariably rotten and corrupt; and as for mu- nicipal councils, they have long been given over to the hands of the rowdy and thieving portions of the population. The people, then, fing that the only honest and impartial judgment seat is in the independent press. They therefore come to us with their complaints, their grievances and their suggestions ; and we administer impartial justice to all. The press is a universal congress, sitting en permanence, and having jurisdiction of all enbjecte. The summary of communica- tions and petitions received by us in the space of a day or two, and which we publish else- where, gives an idea of the amount of business we have to do in this line. The people know where to apply for a redress of grievances; and instead of going to corrupt legislative bodies or stupid officials, they come to the independent press. Let it be ever so, and let the press never cease to prove itself worthy of this Nigh honor and trast. Tur Dreroot Coyrnact at Wasutyoroy.— Some of the republican papers aremaking a great fuss about an alleged case of federal cor- ruption which their correspondents at Wash- ington have just discovered. The facts of the case as stated are about these: In 1834 Capt. Meigs, Superintendent of the Washington Aque- duct, contracted with the firm of Deggs & Smith, by authority of Congress, fo furnish a certain quantity of bricks at a certain price, which contract they gave up In the following year, nct being able to compiy with ite terms, Their sureties ther made a sub-contract with a Mr. W. H. Degroot, who associated bimself with Messrs, Stearns & Darling, and agreed to furnish the bricks in the terms stipulated; but | these parties also fulled to supply the materials | im the required quentities, and Capt. Meigs was compelled to purchare them elsewhere. Another sub-contract was then made with a third party, who also folled to comply with ite terms, Sub- | sequently all these contractors looked to Con- gress for a recognition of ‘Wiel: claims for the amounts due to them upemthe contracts, and Congrets referred the mat.et to Secretary Cobb, who awarded to the entire bateh cf claimants | $20,504 19, a8 an equitable Gscharge of the claime. Mr. Degroot, it appears, wax not content with this decision, and be procured a resolu tion to be passed hy Congrese June 16, 18¢0, referting his case to Mr. Floyd, Secretary ‘of War, who. after reviewing it, awarded Degreot the lange sum of $119,000—mere than fonr times the ew awarded by Mx Cobb to all the claimants. All this may be ver There is corrap tion enough at Waekingtes to justify credence; and the Willetts Point case and the Fort Snel- ling case are fresh in memory. But, after all, this decision of tie Degroot case may be o grent caring (o the country; for, if we had a republican sdminietration and a republican sare Pennsylvania.

Had Thurlow Weed been there and else- wonld to ge the business. no doubt he would have urranged iton a more Liberal and munificent eevle. But the democratic party is a cheap party, and mean withal; it is content with moderate pickings; it has not the magnificence and enlarged ideas of the republican party in Cesling with the public money; so that, efter all, the country may have made s clear saving of e few hundred thousand dollars or eo by this matter. Tes Dericmencies and Farnrnes OF THY Crvrrat, Park,.—We publish to-day a lengthy communication, criticising the various works on the Central Park, and pointing out the de- ficloncies and failures in detail which we had cccasion to refer to before, with regret that eo fine a public work should fall so far short of what the public need demands. The money expended on it was lavishly supplied, and no ore would complain of the smount devoted to an cbiect which might be made of the first ad- vantage to the metropolis if prudence, discre- tion and good taste had been exercised in its construction; but unhappily such has not been the case, and after a heavy expenditure, and the labor ef two or three years, the Park at the present time offers few of the advantages whick the public bad a right to expect. With the exception of the Ramble and a few prettily contrived walks, there is literally nothing enjoyable about it. No re- freshing shade, nor pleasant green eward, invites the weary pedestrian, and the visiter, dur ng the hot and dusty Gays of summer, must be con- tent with the hottest and dustiest tramp in and about the city, in lieu of the cool retreat and tecluded lounge which one would expect to find ia anextensive park. No leafy shades— For whitporing lovers made— beguile the footsteps in the Central Park; no rustic haunte— Pmbosomed soft in trees— tempt the labor-worn toiler tc rest within their inviting shadow. All is arid, unsheltered and unprepossessing; add to these deficiencies the abominable transverse roads, or canals, which bisect the Park at intervals, spanned by expen- sive bridges, destroying the uniformity of its surface, and breaking up the coup d'ail of the Park, and we have a fair idea of the miserable failure which the whole work presenta, ind we fear is now irremediable. The late Albany Legislature, of infamous memory, created a commission to lay out the Washington Heights region—the moat pic- turesque part of the city, for which nature has done so much and left 60 little for art to am- plify—and the Commissioners are pursuing the samme course as the Commissioners of the Cen- tral Park, by appointing a bureau of con- tractors, architects, architects-in-chief, engi- neers, and so forth, here, there, and every- where. They have already demanded an ap- Propriatian of some twenty-two thousand dol Jars for a work which is entirely unneeded, and they bid fair to destroy that beautiful portion of the island, if they carry out their present de- signs. The Commissioners are authorized to lay out the portion of this region lying north of 155th street only; but in order to make the proper disposition of the ground they should have power to commence at Manhattanville and Harlem, and take in the entire space to Washington Heights, In this way they might run a circular road from Manhattanville round the side of the hill clear to Fort George, and there connect with another road from Harlem, thus making a complete circuit, in the midst of all the splendid residences and demeenes, which would embrace nearly all the features of a beautiful park in itself, and would make the finest boulevard in the world. Instead of that, however, they are going to lay out new ave- nues and streets on the top of the hill, cutting through the grounds of private residences, tear- ing down bouses and stables, and in short, to make a grand dash generally, to the destruction of all the natural beauties of the country. What that district requires is simply that the great central avenue, the Kingsbridge road, should be widened, and the circular road referred to be constructed, leaving the cross roads to be opened by the owners of property when they fare required. This accomplished, the northern end of the city would be the most charming eubarb on either contiuent. It is agreat misfortune that public works like the Central Park, and others designed to beau- tify the metropolis, cannot be constructed with- out biundering and extravagance. Tux Porrtcat Fostox.—What are the politi- claze doing about finishing the conservative fusion that has been so happily begun’ The Syracuse men appointed a committee a few days since, with Ben Wood at the head of It, to do something. What has been done! As for Ben Wood, he is one of the slippery school of politicians—-something like one of his own lot tery tickets, either a blank or a prize~and yeu never know how he is going to turn out; but in the present question it does mot matter whether his committee draw « prize ora blank; for, when the election comes, the people will vote a eonservative Union ticket. without refe- rence to the politicians, and they may just as well put ten Breckinridge men on it as four. Nor will the electors be bound by the dictation of dead and rotten organizations to violate the wishes of the people. They will be elected to defeat Lincoin, nnd they will vote in the way best to do thir. Ond or tue poimes-in the Present political revolution is. that it may give life to the hitherto inanimate electoral college, in order by © legal election to save the House of Representatives from the disgrace it may bring upon itself by being forced to attempt an election. Toe Jaravese Trews ar Lasr.—We learn that the fumone committee having in charge the reception of the Japanese Embasay will Present to the: Common Council on Monday night the items of the expenditure, amounting fin all to $105,000. We preeume that the bills will pars both boards, ond be paid without much delay. The city has incurred the re- sponsibility; and if the affair might Lave been done better for less money, it is the fant of the taxpayers, who suffer small politicians to mono- polive the best places under the municipal government.
