The Twelfth Judicial Bar Associa-
ton is now in session. A few of the
fraternity arrived from the west yes
terday noon, others from the east in
the afternoon and the night trains
brought still others to swell the num-
Der present. Last night ball was
given in Phoenix Hall by the citizens
of Morris which was quite we'll at
tended, and which proved to be a most
enjoyable affair. AT the meeting in
the court house to-day a programme
of interest to the fraternity will be
carried out. This evening banquet
will be given by the citizens of Morris
in honor of the association at the
Metropolitan hotel.

run near this point Without doubt more per-
sons pass the City Hail daily than any other
single point in the city limits. Under ordinary
circumstances there could be no question OF
tue desirabi.ity-the necessity, in factor
choosing site for the projected building in
this neighborhood. The only reason tor even
thinking of putting it elsewhere Is this:
The opening of the East River Bridge
will in all probability be followed IN q
short time by the cutting through OF flat-
bush-ave., from Fulton-st, in direct line
to the bridge terminus at Sands-st. Such
an extension now seems inevitable, IN
order to furnish sufficient outlet for the great
stream Of travel which will make use OF the
Bridge. Various schemes are already on loot
for this purpose. We think there can be no
doubt that the enterprise will be carried
through in a few years at the furthest. Inc
new avenue will naturally become one o1 Tue
principal. business streets Of the city. HOW lar
it will affect lower Fulton-st., which mas oeen
the main business thoroughfare probably as
long as Brooklyn has existed, cannot he deter
mined but it hardly seems probable that III
ton-st. will ever lose its present position
Crooked and characteress as it is, 1t Is douot-
less destined to remain the main artery or the
city. The contingency, then, which might
make it desirable 10 erect the new building
near Fulton-st and Flatbush-ave. is remote
one. and should not have much weight with the
Commissioners.
Tho Federal Building, it is plain, should De

and natural place for the Post Office, and me

st. and Myrte-ave or on the site OF the Re
formed Church III the rear OF the CITY han
would DO entirely satisfactory. The appropri-
alton for the building and site ia $500, 600. Inc
Commissioners doubtless feel some embarrass-
ment In regard to the proportion OF this sum
which they may feel at liberty to spend IN Sc

ever, that the public sentiment OF Brooklyn VIII
sustain them if their choice falls upon either

TIE FEDERAL BUILDING IN BROOKLYN.
The Commissioners to whom is intrusted the
duty of selecting site for the proposed Federal
Building in Drooklyn-Messrs. George II. An
drews. Jackson S. Schultz and William Lain
beer-ought not to have much difficulty in de-
ter1uining where the building should be situa-
ted in oder to lie most convenient for the people
of BROOKLYN and best to meet the grow
ing needs of the city. The building should
either be- in the immediate vicinity of
the City Hall or else near the junction of Full
ton-st. ana Flatbush-ave. No one of the other
sites mentioned-a dozen or 80 in all-is really
available. To answer the purposes for which
it is to be erected, the structure must be close
TO the main avenues Of trade. 1t will not do to
place it two or three blocks away upon some
side street for the sake of securing site on a
little more reasonable terms. Economy in this
direction would DO unwise. To put the Brook
lyn Post Office in Atlantic-ave. or Adams-st.,
or Washington ST, a block or two from the
City Hall Park, would be as unreasonable as 1t
would have been few years ago to talk OF
erecting the Post Office for New-York West
Broadway or at Chatham Square.

instruments Of five per cent, to oe ieFicu al"
collact.d with tbe annual taxes upon the prop
ertv benefited. The law was so cumsiiy
drawn and the scheme so utterly lmprac''caoie
that Controller Campbell and the Corporation
Counsel decided that it was moperatlVe'
though il still remains on the statute-ooohs
It's purpose was evidently to permit specula-
tors to enhance tho value of their property by
costlv imnroyements. which would enable them
70 sell it adyantaseously. The buyer would
have the privilege of paying the second tlme
for the cost of the improvements IN annual
additions to his tax levy.
The deferred payment Of assessments, by
small instruments or otherwise, operates as an
incentive to extravaganza and speculation. The
amount of assessments for local improvements
confirmed by the courts, remaining unpaid,
now reaches $7,393,6S5. City bonds have
been issued for this sum, the interest on which
comes out of the annual tax levy. Special laws
have been passed at various times 5ducing the
rate of interest on unpaid assessments when
have made it advantageous to property -owners
to defer payment Of the principal. The interest
accumulates, and is collected with the princi-
nal in one payment. Those who paid two years
ago were charged interest at the rate OF twelve
per cent, while those who waited year longer
had only to pay at the rate of 7 per cent; and
if Mr. McMauus has his way those who nave dc-
ferred payment until this time will escape IN
terest altogether. This is the more UNJUST oe-
cause by the act of 1880 commission was ere
atcd to revise and correct assessments. DEM
ouent property-owners who can show TO that
commission any just grounds for the reduction
of their assessments not only secure the reduc-
tion but are released from the payment of all
interest. If Mr.. McManus's friends have any
justice in their cause that is the place LOT theDi
to CO. and not to the Legislature.

UNVISE LEGISLATION ON ASSESSNENT8
Many vicious measures in regard to the affairs
If this city have been introduced In the Legis-
lature by its Democratic representatives.
Where there are so many of q kind it seems
almost useless to attempt any distinction. But
there is one peculiarly bad measure, though
not by any means the worst, which ought to be
killed. The peculiarly consists in the fact
that OH its face its inherent badness is not APP
narept. 1t was introduced by John McAlanus
and has been favorably reported by NJ. Z.
Murpby from the Committee on Cities, and is
now before the Assembly for fiual passage. The
bill urovdes for the settlement of arrearaSes
npon unpaid assessments without the payment
of any interest that may have accrued previous
TO January /. If it should become law it will
cost the taxpayers of this city over half mill
ion dollars.
Controller Campbell was quick to detect the
character of the measure, and upon his recon-
mendation it was condemned by the "Mayors
Cabinet -; but that has not prevented the Leg
islature from giving the bill favorable consider
atiop. And as there are interested persons
Quietly pushing it forward, there is a prospect
that II may he successful. The great injustice

taxpayers of the city the private debts OF COM
paratively few delinquent individuals. There
has been too much OF that kind of legislation
in reference 20 this particular subject, and 1t is
time that it came to an end.
The theory of the assessment laws is that the
property benefited by certain local improve
ments shall pay its fair proportion OF the cost.
II Justice is meted to all alike the theory must
lac carried out. 1t is not right that property
owners who have paid their share OF an assess
ment should be made to pay also the proportion
that belongs to Others. Yet that would he the
effect of Mr.. McManuss bill, and it has been
tbe effect of like measures that have been made
laws heretofore In less than ten years, by the
fault of such bad legislation and an incompetent
Board of Assessors, the taxpayers OF this city
have had to pay $4,3l6,072 in principal, and
81 .OOO, 900 in interest which had been levied
in assessments upon private property the own
ers of which were in equity liable tor the whole
amount.
In 1874 a special law was passed which i'm
posed upon the city one-half the cost OF GER
tain street openings and other improvements
in the annexed district. Under that law the
Department of Parks, which by curious pro-
vision has charge of the streets and avenues in
that part of the city, began improvements that
will cost the taxpayers below the Harlem River
about million dollars. This is in addition to
the FIVE million dollars above mentioned.
Two years ago another bill was slipped
| through tho Legislature and became law. per-

PERSECUTION or THE "LAW-ABIDING."

PERSECUTION or THE "LAW-IBIDING."
A dispatch from Columbia, South Carolina,
indicates. though family, we presume, the
shocking condition OF affairs which the inhu-
man and brutal conduct Of Federal officials is
bringing to pass in that devoted State. " Yes

that the Democratic State Executive Commit

that the offence with which the - w-aDldng

ton of the election laws by intimidation OF
voters and frauds upon the ballot. Thai Is to
say, the claw abiding aud respectable cltlzens'
believing honestly that the Offices belonged
of right only to such law-aDiding ana
respectable citizens as themselves, either
drove away from the polls those who dli-
fered with them or so "amcnded the returns

more. To be sure, they violated the laws OF
the United States and engaged in the subver-
sion of the first and fundamental principle OF
popular government, but they meant we'll
They meant to keep the Offices in the hands
of the law-abiding and respectable citizens,
they being judges as to who were law-abidIne
and respectable.
And now they are suffering persecution for
it. Is it any wonder that the Democratic EX-
ecutiye COMMITTEES should unanimously vote to
employ eminent counsel to defend these VIC
tins of Federal hate The case of "Kurnel
Keyartcr," who, for merely shooting the top
of the head off blanked Yankee postmaster,
"came near getting into IA BANKED lawsuit
about it, was not so painful as this. These
Iaw-abiding citizens have actually got into u
lawsuit. 1t is comfort to think
however, that there will be no convic'
tjOns. The Democratic Executive Committee
have taken the matter in hand, and they will
never permit tho conviction of law-abidne
citizens who have felt obliged to violate the
law for the benefit of the Democratic party
They have already voted to employ eminent
counsel; of course they will pack tho jury il

come TO this, that law abiding and respectable

party, then the law-abidng and respectable
