GRAD SUBURBAN PARK AT WASHINGTON
HE.GHTs.-We understand that the Gamma.
sioners appointed by the last Legislature for
laying out Washington Heights have come to
entertain some very proper ideas as to how the
work should be done-ideas which are entirely
acceptable to the owners of propertv In
that locality. Instead of perpetratins the
stupid vandalism of reducing these elevated
aud beautiful grounds to the level grade. and
interseoting them with avenues and streets in the
style in which the upper portion of the city Is
laid out the idea now is not to interfere with
the natural beauties Of the location, but to run
a semi-circular road round the heights from one
point on the Hudson, just above Manhattanvills,
UP to another point near Tubby Hook. This IL
to be wide, macadamized road, with fine shade
trees On each side, and is to be in its use a.
we'll as name, the Boulevards Of New YORK.
The grounds comprised between it and the
river, over three miles in length and about
mile in width, will form magnificent, spacious
PARK, through which access will be had By
means OF numerous winding roads, extending
from the Hudson to the Boulevards.
design is to widen by fifty feet the old Kings
bridge road, plant it with shade trees, mass a
splendid drive of it, and convert it into a
Champs Elysee.
We are delighted to learn that the Com
mi:sioners are manifesting 80 much good sense
AID refined taste. No better plan for laying
cut Washington Heights could be proposed.
For purposes Of business the ground will not
be needed by this generation. But for the pur-
poses to which 1t is proposed now to be applied,
1t is needed at the present moment The Cen-
trai Park, after all the money expended upon
1t, and ail the efforts made to popularize it. is
dead failure. Neither its natural nor arti-
fetal beauties respond to the requirements Of
good taste. But here is park already laid out
by Natures hand, in the most enchanting va
riety Of hill and dale, rock and rivulet. forest
and glade, and interpreted with charming
villa residences Of course there ia no intea-
ton Of interfering with the privacy Of these
retreata They will still remain sacred within
their respective little demesnes; but handsome
drives and picturesque footpaths will wind in
and out among them, revealing their varied
beauties, and giving glmpses of the elegance
of the suburban life of New York.
We trust that the Commissioners. having
once entertained this excellent idea, vii, cot
abandon it, but will carry it out in the sams
refined taste in which it has been conceived.
Let them do so, and in few years New York
will be able to point Partisan to Champs
Elysee ana Bouleyards more exquisite THAI
his own.

OPEN AIR PREAcHrNG.-W We see that the Bishop
Of London has been preaching in the open air
to large assemblsges Of the working men and
children of the British metropolis. It il graft
flying TO find that something Of the old Apostolic
spirit has been infused into the haughtiest and
proudest ecclesiastical aristocracy that exists 10
any Of the churches. Would it not be well if
our own clergy were to initiate this example
They are continually making complaints OF the
insuficiency of church accommodation in orr
cities; but here is means Of meeting the evil
which removes all difficulty. II. instead Of
coveting fancy structures and fashionable audi
erces the shining lights of our congregations
were TO go forth into the moral wilderuesses
that lie within our city limits, they would DO
much more good, and convince people far more
Of their sincerity, than they do at present.
Hitherto open air preaching in this metropolis
has been confined to persons without any quail
6eations for such duties, and the police have
found II necessary to put a stop to their gather
ing Of idle and noisy crowds of men and boys.

requisite degree Of ZEAL abandon their cushion.

TIE Prospscr IN MARE-The State and Con-
eressiona! elections take place in Maine on the
llth o; September next. and their results will
bear relation to the prospects Of the black re-
publican party in the coming election very SINH
lar 10 that the recent local elections 10 Kentucky
bore TO those Of the Breckenridge democracy
in the South. According to the best advices
we can obtain from Maine. we shall not be sur
prised.to see there in September the same up
rising Of the latent national sentiment among
the people, and popular political revolution,
that have been witnessed in the Southern States.
The large commercial and maritime interests of
Maine are not willing TO accept the revolution
airy and destructive theories OF Seward. Lin
coin. Sumner and the black republican fana-
tea, aad since 1856 the tide of popular feeling
has set steadily against them, as will be seen in
the following table,

II has been Characteristic of the elections 10
Maine that larger popular vote has generally
been thrown in the State than in the national
elections. This fact has been due to the local
excitement relative to the Maine Liquor law
and similar local questions. which have been
largely adopted by the black republicans. The
Iiquor question has subsidized greatly, and the
revelations Of Elder Peck, the peculating
State Treasurer last year, in regard to Neal
Dow and other Maine law" apostles, have
contributed to give the black republicans
a bad odor locally. In addition to this the sea
fariug population in Maine find in Mr. Douglas
squatter sovereignty theories quite enough
aboiitionism for them. If, therefore, the con-
servative masses in Maine unite their ballots
they will call out the immense latent conserva
tive vote which the above tables show TO exist
there, and Maine, on the 18th Of September.

can fanaticism, and lead the way to the utter

THE CRY AND ITs REAL EsTArE-CCsI-
Gus DEvELoPEMENTs.-The city Of New
York is certainly most unfortunate in the
management of its property and finances. 1t is
not only plundered by its civic functioaaries,
but permitted to be plundered by outsiders
We cay nothing now Of the manner in which it
has been victimized in the matter of the Lowber
property, the Fort Gansevoort property, the
West Washington market property, and the city
railroad franchises. These were all positive
acts Of plumber. But it seems that the city is
being also defrauded to considerable extent
by the gross and culpable negligence of officials.
Recent Developments have been made which
show up very curious state of facts.
II seems that our very efficient Comptroller
was waited on, not long since, by a mysterious
individual with an offer to disclose. for a con
certain property OF which her officials knew
nothing, and which had been for years in the
undisturbed possession of parties who had not
the slightest iega! title to it.
The Comptroller was somewhat dumbfounded
by this extraordinary proposition, and con-
ceived ii his duty to acquaint the Commission
ers of the Sinking Fund thereof. They in
their turn directed him to prepare list of all
the property owned By the city. In complying
with this order some curious discoveries were
made For instance, it was ascertained that
some valuable property was in the posses
sion OF parties against whom a suit was COM
menced by the Corporation twenty-three years
ago, which suit is not yet determined A very
fine commentary on the fidelity and activity Of
the various gentlemen who have beld the fat
office of Corporation Counsel for the last quar-
ter Of a century. Then, again, it was discovered
that the city owned at Williamsburg property
worth at least $4,000 which had never been
entered on the lists Of real estate. What CAPT
tai Comptroiiers this city must have been
blessed with. Whether these discoveries have
anything to do with those which the party
whose offer set these inquiries On foot was pre-
pared to disclose, is matter of uncertainty.
The probability is that they have not, and that
this well posted person might still make large
per centsge on the property which his insorma-
too would enable the city to recover.
We respectfully suggest to Mr.. Haws the pro-
priety first, of renewing negotiations with this
mysterious individual; second, Of causing i'm.
mediate steps to be taken for the recovery aud
proper registration of the property which has
been discovered, ard third, Of not letting the
matter rest until full and Ineligible list of
all the real estate belonging to the city be made
out by his department, so that there need be no
more cheating allowed in that line The
thieves Official and otherwise, who congregate
in and about the City Hall, require to have a
sharp lookout kept upon their actions; and it
depends good deal upon the Comptroller
whether their villanous schemes shall be frl,s-
trated. Keep keen eye upon them, Mr. Haws,
and hurry up the documents.

THE REAL QUESTION BEFORE THE PEoPLE.-
We give in another column to-day graphic
ally interesting sketch of Mr.. Seward at home,
from our special reporter. The man and the
statesman are pictured in their natural colors,
and in these we present them to the whole coun-
try. Against Mr.. Seward as man we have
| never drawn our weapons, and we record his
good social qualities with pleasure and truth in
our columns. With equal truth his detestable
position as a statesman is there also made mani
fest in these words from his own Lips
hold that slavery wrong and myself and those Who
think with me are in conflict With those who think
slavery right There bpt two sides TO the question.
There is middle ground. Who're be phosophi-
zing upon the point, The right or the 'soa9 Of sorery
TIE only iSSLs
Here is the true issue presented by the black
republican party, and in il lies the capital
error Of Mr. Seward as a statesman. He aud
his followers aim to convert a purely moral
and social question into political issue, pro-
missing to administer the government, If elected,
on moral and social principles, as they under
stand them. They do not claim that any harm
accrues to themselves by the persistence Of
other communities in believing in other moral
ah" soe'ai Piin'iPies, ou' lucy WISH 'i'e Po"ei'
of the government to be 30 administered as to
make others believe in what they believe.
This is the fundamental error Of persecution
for opinions sake, of state church, and Of the
inquisition. In all ages, and in all countries,
whenever men have adopted moral and reli-
gious views as guides in political conduct, 60
vernment has been prosttuted to the behests of
fanaticism; and the uncharitable spirit which
the black republicans exhibit towards our
Southern brethren, who are just as moral. Just
as religious, and have just as good a chance To
get to Heaven as our Northern fanatics, proves
that Seward. Lincoln and their followers would
WELD the powers of government in the same
spirit that animated the Jesuits and inqaisitors
Of old
