been received with the lveliest satisfaction
/ by those Of our fellow citizens who glory in
the American name. We sent abroad so
many representative Americans in Tammany
| and shoddy and petroleum times that the
thought OF a real live Mayor at last visiting
London as the type OF American chivalPy and
comeliness fills Us with pride. The Mayor
fear that the public convenience would suffer
from his absence has been removed. AS the
only undisputed duty now remaining to his
Office Is the reviewing Of Irish professions
Governor Tilden has kindly accepted the
task He has purchased an orange and a
green coat-the orange for the 18th of July
and the green for st. Patrick's Day. What is
moro, the Governor is an expert horseman,
and could reviow the procession mounted like
the Emperor Napoleon. In this respect the
| Governor is superior to the Mayor, who
never appears to so much advantage Us in
o hack. II we only could induce the
Governor 70 60 on horseback, with Wickha m
following after in an open barouche, holding
the American flag aloft, the sensation they
would make on Pail Mall would be remem-
bered for ages as one Of the brightest memo
ries in our history AT such o spectacle
Tilden. the Ring smasher, and Wickham, the
procession royicwer-the British lion might
we'll slink away and hide his anger in the
dark recesses Of the Tower But we cannot
spare Tilden. He has the Rapid Transit bill
TO sign and the Delafeld Smith matter TO set
tie and Comptroller Green to remove. Then
he is not as handsome man as the Mayor.
Moreover, 40 Is bachelor The public spir-
tied fathers and mothers of this Republic
would never consent TO be represented by
man who, with all Of his virtues, makes his
life a protest against the hottest and nobiest
emotions Of the human breast
Now that tho Mayor is really going let US
send him off with an imperial retinue. There
is no hope Of Green furnishing any money for
the trip, but New York will not stand on q
matter Of million or two for purpose like
this. We could have benefit at all the the
atres for instance, and assessments on the
o6ice-holders We do not know any subject
that would appeal 50 warmly to the liberality
OF the people as this proposed excursion. We
should DO willing, for instance, to pay Green's
expenses ourselves and TO supply him with
beer and tobacco if he will only go and stay.
AS for the four bosses, the money would come
naturally The Beef-eaters would gladly sub
scribe Boss Tom Murphy's expenses, while
the Swallow Tails would have no difficulty in
giving Boss John Kelly princely outfit.
As for Boss John Morrissey, of the
Short Hairs, and Boss Tom Creamer,
OF the Plug Uglies they are both rich
and public spirited and would pay their
own bills and lavish largess on London cii-
zens Boss Tweed, if he could be released
from the pressure Of existing engagements,
would, no doubt, contribute with his historic
prodigshty toward any enterprise that enabled
him to visit the homes Of his ancestors II il
Just possible Tweed's money has all gone into
the hands Of his lawyers but Jay Gould,
Tweeds old partner would not be niggard in
his contributions. Then there are Uncle
Dick With millions OF his own, and Uncle
Dan with millions Of other peoples. These
eminent hnanciers are now somewhat with
drawn from public affairs and have abundant
leisure to improve their minds and study
British civilization. If the matter was pre-
sented 10 Uncle Dick in its true aspect he
would pay the bills himself, for he has a
widely reaching elevated mind, and believes
thoroughly in any enterprise that would re-
dound to the glory of our native land
/ As for Disbscker, ho will probably havo
earned enough from his garbage extracts
and Harlem dat essences" to enable him to
rival the splendor Of the Buchu Prince, his
T hn NJ. A -
can enter prise and wealth Ia London. Tho
police surgeons could raise money enough in
Harlem in q day to give them royal time
abroad and secure them long, long, long
vacation. These financial difficulties vanish
at the touch. We have only to firmly grasp
them. New York was never niggard in her
gifts. Never was there subject which ap-
pealed 80 strongly to her generosity. We
think OF the glory that would inure from the
presence OF Wickham in Guildhall; Wickham
I in the flow and rush of centennial elo-
quence, dilating upon 'ths times that
tried mems souls'-the virtues Of Wash
ington and tho vices Of George ~. We
men, inancierr, clergymen and authors,
1 who would proudly march down Pail Mall in
His Honors train to the tune Of yankee
Doodle We think Of Big Bonanza Gould
addressing the London Exchange on the mys-
teries Of the Erie management We see the
four bosses explaining how the largest num-
Der Of votes can be extracted from the smallest
/ given number of voters. We SEQ Boss Shep-
herd eloquently instructing the Aldermen
| how to reconstruct London on the basis of
Washington. We see Andy Johnson, Ben
Butler, Nevada Jones, Centennial Dix and
other representative heroes discoursing on
love and war and patriotism. We see
Beecher and Tilton reconciled with holy
kiss, succeeding Moody and Sankcy as the
apostles Of free and easy theology religion
OF Horticulture and oscultaton-painting
