The INTERNATIONAL Observation-Disclosures
may be the result Of the trial OF skill
next June between the representa-
tive marksmen of Ireland and America
the Irish people are resolved that the
American team shall bring away with
them pleasant recolections of their visit to
the Green Isle. On all hands the note OF
preparation is heard, and in the anxiety to
organize fitting Inequalities for the occasion
the real contest, which is the motive and ex-
cuse Of so much interest, seems almost to be
lost sight of, except among the comparatively
small number of marksmen who wish to be
the champions in the coming contest. There
is evidently more active national interest
felt in Ireland anent the coming match than
there is here 1t is looked upon as an excel
lent opportunity of demonstrating the good
will of the Irish people to the citizens of the
great Republic where 50 many Of their friends
have found home.

Mr.. L. BRADFORD Prince.

The above prominent member of Assembly
from Queens county sends us letter, printed
elsewhere, claiming that he is a stanch friend
Of rapid transit and complaining that the
HERALD did him injustice in printing his name
in its list Of members who opposed the Com
mon Council bill. 1t appears by his own
statement that ne was not incorrectly classed.
lie not only avows his strenuous opposition TO
the Common Council bill, but goes on TO argue
against and denounce it as one of the worst
measures proposed in the Legislature during
the long period he has served in that body. That
bill was drafted in this city with the assistance
Of some Of our ablest lawyers; it was approved
by the Mayor and Endorsed by the Common
Council; it was passed by the Senate, body
which was at least equal in ability to the AS
sembly; it was vigorously opposed by the
lobby in the pay Of the horse railroads. which
was quite needless if the bill was as palpably
unconstitutional as Mr.. Prince contends. 1t was
the general impression both here and at Alba
nv that the amendments of the Assembly were
intended to kill the bill by creating o dead
lock between the two houses. Everybody
accepted the amendments, instead of noncon-
curing and calling for committee of confer
ence The acceptance Of the amendments by
the Senate frustrated the suspected trick for
defeating the bill by disagreement between
the Senate and Assembly. Our "black list
was printed in the interval between the
amendments of the Assembly and the final
action Of the Senate, and we were careful not
10 cast aspersions on individual character
We said explicitly 1--WE do not charge that
these men are corrupt" but we did class
them as o body, as enemies Of rapid transit
and Mr.. Prince virtually admits that he de-
sired the defeat Of the Common Council bill,
although lie claims to have been uniformly
friendly to its object The success of the
Hustled bill in the Assembly is probably due
in great measure to the warmth Of indigna-
ton manifested in the city on that occasion
and faithfully expressed in the HERALD
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-05-20
rapid Transit In tn. Lsrlslaturs.

Anpiu transit An the Legislature
1t was thought yesterday that the
Legislature would be ready to adjourn
to-day to which we can see no OBJ
lection If the new Rapid Transit bill is hrst
sent to the Governor for his approval. The
Assembly, which passed it unanimously, must
not consent to o dissolution until the Senate
has acted on the Rapid Transit bill. The
constitution declares that ''neither House
shall, without the consent Of the other, adj
Journ for more than two days" The Assem-
bly, can therefore prevent final adjournment
as long as it may think the public interest
requires and it is its duty to keep the Legis-
lature in session until this important bill is
regularly disposed of. 1t may encounter
some opposition III the Senate, but we are con-
fident it will pass if time enough is allowed.
After passing the Assembly by unanimous
vote on Tuesday evening it was sent at once
to the Senate and motion was made to ex-
pedite its passage by considering it in Com
mittee of the Whole. Objection was made
and the point was yielded on the assurance
of the Chairman of the Appropriation Com
mittee that he would report during the morn
ing session yesterday. He kept his word, and
the bill was reported tavorably. So far it
went on smoothly and expeditiously. But a
motion to make it the special order
Tor last evening was lost, because it
required two-thirds majority The vote
was fourteen yeas to thirteen nays,
showing a majority in favor of the
bill, but indicating disposition on the part
of the minority to obstruct it by TAX
In the evening, however, it came up
before the Senate and was progressed.
1t would be easy for the minority
to prevent its passage by dllatory
tactics il the Legislature should adjourn to-
day, but if the Assembly dealt fairly and
it is bound to keep the Legislature in session
until this most important bill is disposed of
in the Senate.
The amendments made in the Assembly
render the bill more acceptable to the people
of the city. The most important Of these
amendments was the transfer of the power
to appoint the commissioners from the Gov
ernor to the Mayor--a recognition of the prin-
ciple of home rule in which the Governor is
understood to cordially acquiesce. The
amendment made in the Senate last evening,
limiting the action Of the bill to New York
and Westchester, is one that we are not dis
posed to quarrel over, as at present steam
rapid transit is only wanted within these
limits. It comes up again in the Senate to-
day, and we are entitled to demand that be-
fore adjournment it will be in the hands of
the Governor Tor signature. Let the friends
Of rapid transit be prompt and vigilant to-day,
for we are certain that its selfish and 'inter-
ested'' enemies will.

The supply Bill Fight.

The fight over the Supply bill has been
mainly personal one. Senator Wood on one
side and Speaker Mcclure on the other have
been the prominent figures in the squabble.
During the whole session legislation has been
married by personal considerations, TO the
sacrifice of the public interests. Generally,
at the close of the session, the two houses
and contending members have managed to
get together on common basis of plumber.
But this year the antagonism promises to last
until the final adjournment. No member OF
either Senate or Assembly would oppose
liberal supplies provided the question
as to who shall dispense the
patronage that follows large appropriation
could be satisfactorily settled. The Governor
has it in his power, under the amended con-
stitution, to veto any items in the supply that
appear Objectionable and to approve the re-
mainder of the bill. But he would not have
the power to cut down an item from larger
to smaller sum- Hence exorbitant appro-
prations made to any institutions or for any
purposes may, in the end, leave them
altogether without aid. We commend this
suggestion TO the attention of the gentlemen
who are pressing for extravagant sums for the
several concerns or jobs in which they are
personally interested.
