BEFORE the Legislature passes any Dill re-
turning their money to tho individual sub
scribers TO the Brooklyn Bridge, it should de-
termine the question now raised whether the
subscriptions voted by Brooklyn and New
York are invalidated by such repayment.
Morally the obligations Of the two cities Will
be removed by any such act; it was a primary
condition Of their subscription that half
million dollars should first be paid in by in
diyidual subscribers. To secure the S4,5OO,OOO
thus voted, the Directors who had taken pos
session of the enterprise paid up the subscrp-
tions of Messrs. Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly, and
Hugh Smith, who had meanwhile failed
politically. Here was direct admission
that the obligation was binding on the
individual stockholders. They cannot carry
on the enterprise after the manner
they had originally contemplated, and propose
to withdraw from the management II their
money is returned to them with interest. The
equity of this is not very clear. At any rate
the consequences of hasty and mistaken action
in the matter are too serious to be ignored
and the Legislature will do wisely to hesitate.
The argument that the repayment of the in
dividual subscriptions repeats the obligations
OF the two cities can be made sufficiently
plausible to put a stop to the work on the
bridge Probably this is what the Ring man
agement desires to see, as proof that the
enterprise cannot prosper as pubic work.
| The Legislature can hardly be seduced into
helping them to this spiteful revenge against
those who have spoiled their schemes by insist
ing on publicity.

Coopers in this vicinity are on a strike for
a curious reason: they object to the sale and
use of barrels brought from Portland, Maine.
In st. Louis, the other day, the ooOpers were
in a fcrment because Chinese laborers were
employed in one or two of the shops 1t is
one of the singular phases of the trade cOmpli-
cations that cheap Maine and Chinese labor
should both happen to be disturbing elements
among the baTrel-makers.

The miseries of Moving Day were only
subject of laughter so long as the city re-
NAMED small and communications were easy
But that time is long ago passed, ana inc
Jokes and caricatures of the First OF May are
scarcely less dreary than the facts on which
they are founded The custom by Which
almost all leases expire upon that day Is
m absurd anachronism and is wholly
upsuited to city of the size ana
importance of New-York. 1t has become
a grave annoyance to all who live in rented
houses, and no good reason can be given 1or
its continuance. This is the only city IN the
world where q large proportion of the popu-
Iotion makes this forced hegira on a given
day in the year, and the distinction Is not al
all creditable.

The prodigahty of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies in voting nearly half a million of
dollars for an arsenal, when it is unable to
provide means for covering the annual deficit,
has caused Cabinet crisis. AS the Deputies
have always shown great aversion to take
the initiative in providing money to carry on
the Government, they may have to regret that
they have driven away the best Minister of
Finances the country has had for many years.

There is some prospect of an extra session of
the Legislature. The recommendations of the
Constitutional Commission are yet to be con-
sidered and it is proposed that the Governor
be requested to call the extra session-after the
adjournment of the present One-for that pur-
pose. This will save to the members their SO
per diem; but the Republicans say that they
are afraid it will hurt their party. They can
not trust themselves very long with legisla-
ton.
