here Before the audience had ceased Laughing at
King Lsger," the audaoious manager was reported
to the great guardian of public virtue. Early on
fue.6ay Mr.. Wood sent for the author and manager,
who forthwith proceeded to the City Hall, and after
due to'maltss at tie outer door and proper examine
ton at the inner wicket were introduced to The Pres
epoe. HE Honor was glad they had come, and at
once preceded to business. He had been informed
By some friends that scandaoas burlesque had been
playing at a certain theater, in which he Fernando
Wood, was wickecly held up 10 ridicule and he had
cent for the writer and manager to inquire into it, Mr.
T. b. Johnston the managerl and Mr. Charles 7. p.
Ware the suttor admitted the production of the play,
brit cenied soy malicious intent, and Mr. Ware rather
thought that public officer of Oh Distinguished rank
was fair game; while, of course the private character
Of "tfe present incumbent too high to suffer by
q harmless pssqunsde. MIR. Wood thought there was
depgr In IL that 1t meant to ipjure him polti-
esly Both author and Manager denied the imputs-
ton; they were politicians, aud felt particular
interest .cr or against his Homer, any other officer

he did vote for Mr.. Wood last November.
This seemed to molify that Injured Virtue, and he
dropped bic individually and fell osck upon the
dignity Of the Office" 1t was due to the great City
dNew York hat its Chief Executive office should be
led il ali respect. and however humble the individual
occupying the Mayors chair, his position ought TO
stietd him from ridicue and misrepresentation. 10
