As the smoke of the battle clears away, our
victories in the great States of Pennsylvania
and Ohio are placed beyond reasonable
doubt The majority for Gov. Geary is
small-between three and four thousand
and considerably below the proper Re-
publican strength of the State, while that
of Judge Williams is about 5000, as we tried
to say in yesterdays TRIBUNE. Our latest
dispatches from Ohio give assurance that the
Republican State ticket is elected by about
10000 majority, and what is still better, and
of moro Importance, that we have carried
both branches of the Legislature, thus
securing the affirmative vote of the State for
the Fifteenth Amendment Returns from half
the State of Iowa indicate that the Republican
majority will exceed $4,000; but nothing else
was expected of that State She has been in
the habit of doing such things for several years.

The question whether the City Hall Park
shall remain intact or not has been effectualiy
settled by the location of the New Post Office.
But whatever it may be, its present condition
is a disgrace to the city. The gateways are
insufficient, and the only crosswalk has been
broken up by hacks and other vehicles. What
right have these in the Park at ALT Why
should private enterprise encroach on public
property But this is not the only testi-
monial to executive imbecility to be seen
here. The grounds in 1.-THE rear are a per-
feet epitome of shiftlessness-walks strewn
with bits of bread and meat, cOrn-cObs,
rotten fruit, and other refuse broken and gull
lied pavements, where little pools of filth
collect after every shower; tumble-down fences
of many patterns, which freely admit the little
Arabs of the Press to the dyspeptic grass plots ;
broken glass, municipal dirt boxes. If this land
is to remain public place, it ought to be made
decent. Do away, if necessary, with all fruit
less attempts at high art, or elegance, or land
scape gardening, and let us have convenient,
well.kept paths, and clean, trim grass plots,
enclosed by neat fences. Let it no longer be
reproach to our civilization, that the vastly
expensive public buildings of New-YOrk, in the
very heart of the city, are surrounded by a
dirty desert, presided over by solitary free
stone image, with broken nose.

JUST RIGHT

So much dust has been raised by the wall
st. gold gamblers routed on that memoraoie
Friday, with intent to avenge themselves OIL
the authors of their downfall, that we feel
that the general and hearty approval OF Gen.
Grants and Secretary Boutwelrs action ID
that emergency ought to find authentic and
commanding expression. The pretense of Tin
dicating the President from the charge of collu-
sion with the gamblers he broke, is too preposter
Gus to provoke even smile. He might as wei
be suspected of collision with Lee In the VII
derness and at AppomattOx Gen. Grant needs
no defense of any kind; but the People CRATE
fully recognize his services in crushing out
conspiracy which was absorbing in baneful wall
ST. speculations the money required to-move
their crops, and reducing the business OF the
country to a lottery in which Fraud takes all
the. prizes and leaves to Industry but the
blanks We rejoice, therefore, to learn that
Gen. Walbridge, in the Louisville Convention
on Wednesday, moved the following:
Resolved, That this Convention heartily ap-
proves the recent sales of gold In the CITY OF
New York by the General Government, and
that the thanks of this Convention are hereby
rendered to the President of the United States
for his prompt authority to the Secretary OF
the Treasury to take such measures as would
prevent the extension of financial crisis,
which was already deranging all the channels
of trade, and, but for such action, would have
resulted in widespread commercial disaster IN
every section of our extended country
We trust the above will be adopted ,)y the
Convention; but, whether adopted or not. it
expresses the emphatic sentiment of the great
body of our people, and we thank Gen. Wal
bridge for giving it emphatic expression. 1t
will be heartily responded to by many Convon-
tons, if not by that now sitting at Louisville.

Too many voters imagine thai, because none
but National Elections are interesting to them
selves, no others possess sufficient political
importance to occupy their attention. Hence
the insufficient registration of the past two
dnys. This is deusion. No Republican, who
has the welfare of his party sincerely at heart,
should let single chance slip by Even il
State Elections did not involve the weightiest
interests on their own account, their effect
upon questions of greater magnitude would be
of the utmost Importance. Apathy in local
contests is eagerly seized upon by the
enemy as evidence of general weakness; and
the evil consequences of the inertness of those
who shrk duty on such occasions extend far
beyond the event of the moment. The army
which betrays indifference to success In It's
minor encounters, is apt to find its strength
and prestige suddenly diminished at the mo-
ment Of the grand engagement. Nobody ex'
poets that the registration of 1859 will ap-
proach that of 1868, though there is no sound
political reason why it should not fully equal
it; but a falling off 30 great as now seems
probable, unless vigorous stride is quickly
made ia the right direction, not Only betrays
cupabe careessness and neglect, but is oml-
nous of future peril.

THE FMpIRE lost

NJ Emile Girardin, editor of La Libert6, is an
old time acquaintance both of the Prince and
the Emperor Napoleon. To the one, when
counseled by M. Theirs. before his election to
the Presidency, not to commit himself by
promises of fidelity, NJ. Girardin gave the re-
markable advice to be honest. To the other,
when it was suggested that he might become
Emperor, he is reported to have given the as
surance that he would not reign for three
months. M. Girardin may not be true
prophet, but il is certain that long ago he
earned the nickname of The WeathercOck.
On this, and on royal accounts, we take more
than usual meaning from his averment that the
second empire is approaching its end" and
that ats fall is inevitable
Napoleon might have prevented what now
appears fatality cOeval with the prostration
and decay of his life. He might have Ma
poleonized France in liberal way many years
ago. thinks NJ. Girardin; and even so lately as
in 1859, after the general elections could have
ordained plebiscte instead OF a senatus con-
sultum, and an amnesty without conditions,
instead Of one excluding such man as NJ.
Ledru Rollin. The French editor is well
aware, doubtless, that Prince Napoleon, impe-
rialist as he is by virtue of palaces and pen
sions, and republican in respect of an exceed
ingly liberal speech, was pronounced opponent
of the plebiscite however earnestly he in
Weighed against aon-elected body like the
French Senate making a Constitution for
France in the utter absence of the representa-
tive part of the Government. The Prince is
supposed to be a shrewder politician than the
editor, and may have calculated that at best
an appeal to the people was profoundly
dangerous Better the monstrosity OF the
Emperor's own chosen Senate voting a
Senatus Consultum, than tsummoning the
people unfortunately to n feast after
so long az starvation. BE this as
it may, the opinion of La Ldbert6 is not shaken
that the invalid Emperor is about to encoun-
ter the greatest crisis Of his life. Is it still
possible to avoid catastrophei asks our French
contemporary of man who knows how to look
revolution in the face.n Should the peril OF
the hour neither inspire nor enlighten nor slim
ulate him. then he loses the remnant of his
power, and. says NJ Girardin, the empire is
"lost.D
He would be bold who would venture to
predict at this date either that Napoleon or
his empire can long survive the crisis upon
which France seems to have entered. Peace
remains with the empire. though the radical
deputies, albeit not many in number, loudly
and justly complain Of tho propagation Of the
Legislature. though the press is unusually bold
and outspoken, and though the people
at large, as witnessed in part by
the late Councils General. are not
entirely satisfied. The moment has arrived,
in the judgment of the Steele, when France
must know something abont her foreign as well
as her homo policy, and with all her proneness
to rebellion be taken into the imperial cent?
dence. There is to be a new empire or % new
France; but as YETI everything depends upon
the pulse of one sick man and the sick man
swear.
