ellis ExcEIAEscy THE MAyoK"-One Of the
Tribune philosophers, more learned than the
rest has worked himself into dangerous state
of mind over the fact that the Mayor of New
York is alluded to in the correspondence be-
tween Lord John Russell and Mr. Dallas as
CHS Excellency," when the proper title is 'hs
Honor" This is declared to be an unwarrsnta-
BILE interference with the prerogative of the Co
vernon and the President. The Tribune man
has made double blunder. The term "excel-
lence" is freely used in diplomatic cores
pondence when official personages are alluded
to; by the action of the Common Council
authorizing the Mayor to invite the Prince to
the metropolis, without regard to the action OF
the State Department of the general govern
ment placed Mr.. Wood in higher position
than that of mere municipal officer. He
assumed, for the time being, diplomatic func
tons, and was addressed in the usual manner,
which originated with the French. or itself,
the term "excellency" means very little in Eu-
rope. On the Continent il is applied to official
personages from foreign parts of any grade.
To go further. We have no doubt that Hon. Mas
sa Greeley himselfhas been addressed in Germa-
ny as "Your Excellency," and his friend Seward
was invariably so accosted beyond peradven-
ture. With reference to the Presidents and
Governors prerogative the Tribame talks bosh.
No official of the federal government has
title of any kind; the proper titular designa-
ton of the President is simply the President;
and so with the heads Of departments. The
application of the term Excellency is a matter
of courtesy and does not do any harm or good
In the States, except one or two in New Eng
land. where some of the old colonial forms,
"whcn we lived under the King" are retained,
all ttulsr prefxes are dropped. As rule, our
officials are not particularly distinguished for
grace or dignity, and the application of titles to
them is absurd. The Mayor of New York,
whatever else may be said about him, is we'll
hammered man, admixing the fortiter IN re with
the suoriter Il, n,odo very judiciously; and if
anybody can stand being called his Excellency,
he is the man. Governor Banks, of Massachu-
sets, who carries the title by right, also wears
il WELL Greeley, we fear, would find it little
too heavy at first; but if we could only put him
in as Governor for a couple Of years, he would
soon get used to it, and might with our aid and
counsel, wear it as jauntily as he does the ''old
white coat

The n Y. Times seems TO be particularly un-
fortunate in its course in regard to the case OF
John Crimmins. At the outset, it went out of its
way to grossly misrepresent the facts connected
with the commission of the crime for which Grim

cuse for attacking Gov. Morgan. When weshowed
that il had published perversion of the truth In
order to excite false sympathy in behalf OF the

in a new place. It condemns the Governor for ap-

Edwin ID. Morgan, James Il. Brady, and William
Kelly are rival candidates for the Governorship Of
our State Wesupport the first named because We

not word to say in personal disparagement OF
either Of his rivals. We hold each Of the three
competitors an honorable, upright man, who, ii
elected, will do his utmost inaccordance with hls
political prir cplos, for the good of the State.
When we meet Messrs. Brady and Kelly-as We

sometimes in the past-we shall meet them as hon.
orable, many opponents, who have no reason 10
regard us otherwise than with personal good WILL
So With all their colleagues on the Breckenridge
and Fusion State tickets. And we believe they
will each and all bear testimony TO the personal
fairness and courtesy with which they have been
treated by the Republican Press throughout the
canvass.
How have The Fusion organs, on the other hand,
treated Gov. Morgan
The following paragraph, from the last Albany
argus, is a fair sample of the whole:

Morgan had urged members Of the Legislature to override MS

This caluupy We promptly and positively
contradicted weeks ego, yet it has been circulated
ever iir &c by the Fusion organs throughout our
State. and seems to be one Of their chief weapons

men conscious that truth will not serve them, and
that they must win, if at all, by deliberate and
