The willie du Havre-The Decision In
the French Court.

thc EF0ncn (OuFts
The decision of the French Admiralty Court
in the collision case between the Vile du
Havre and the Loeb Earn has been decided in
favor of the French ship. The maneuvring
of the Vile du Havre is declared to have been
blameless, and the disaster is ascribed to the
bad management of the Loeb Earn. In place
of condemning the Court eulogized Captain
Surmont. The decision in the French Court
is thus quite the reverse of the decision in the
English Court Captain Robertson is pro-
nounced blameless Captain Surmont is pro-
nounced blameless. Who is to blame? The
trial on both sides of the Channel has been q
farce No one is held guilty; and yet the
disaster occurred on o clear night, when the
lights of both vessels could be easily seen.
The result of the two investigations--the one
in England and the other in France-proves
the necessity of grand international marine
court. Until such court is established ma
tional jealousies will stand in the way of just
and righteous decisions in all cases which
bear any resemblance to that of the Vile du
Havre We do not belittle the difficulties
which lie in the way of the establishment of
such court but the difficulties are not in
surmountable. This is q matter which ought
at once to command the attention of all the
great maritime Powers

The MAYOR OF BRooKLYN's MESSAGE. -
Mayor Hunter, in his message yesterday to
the Board of Aldermen, takes the position of a
thorough reformer-a very popular kind of
person nowadays. He wants the public in
terests to be protected from those naughty
people who are so fond of insinuating them
selves into the city treasury, and he believes
in making a commencement towards the
liquidation of the city debt, which is trife
over thirty seven million dollars. He will
likely bring o storm about his ears on &C
count of the suggestion to make church prop
erty bear its share of taxation but in city
where churches and dwelling houses are
popularity supposed to be equal in number
he parsons should certainly do something
handsome towards the public treasury. The
vast amount of money absorbed by the East
River Bridge seems to frighten the worthy
Mayor, for he is of opinion that the Brooklyn
people would on their part, have postponed
the undertaking had they foreseen the fnan-
cial consequences. There are many prac-
tical sensible and well-hmed suggestions in
the message

CoNaREss AFTER THE HoLrDAYs.-Botb
houses of Congress met yesterday after their
Christmas festivities and New Years calls
and, in resuming the business of the nation,
they selected eminently practical and inter-
esting subjects. The Senate wasted the
precious hours in discussing the irrepressible
salary grab, and the House was not behind
hand in its earnest disquisitions on the equally
irrepressible negro. The principal speech
concerning the colored gentlemen was made
by Mr.. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia,
who, it was to be presumed, knew all about
the practical bearings of the proposed Supple
mentary Civil Rights bill among the Southern
people, and who eloquently opposed it.
His arguments were based on constitutional
grounds and also on the inexpediency Of such
bill, and, in his peroration, INDUCED in q
glowing apostrophe to ''old Jeffersonian demo-
cratic and republican principles"

The summer-hke weather Of Sunday, which
extended over nearly all the Atlantic States,
was most abnormal freak, and has been
speedily followed by reaction. The peculi-
arity of this warm streak of weather appears
from an examination of the Signal Office
reports, to be due to a remarkable phenome-
non. On the I'd inst the equatorial winds in
the Gulf of Mexico and the Southern States
became established, and the vast stream of
the equatorial current projected, il tongue
like shape, from the Gulf to the Ohio Valley
On Sunday it pushed its way to Lake Ontario
with thermometers ranging seventy-three at
Pittsburg and sixty-seven at Rochester-about
the same temperature which the soft austral
winds now bring to the invalid in Florida or
to the consumptive retreats on the shores of
the Mediterranean. The prevalence Of these
long continued reflections of the equatorial
air current northward has been, 80 far, the
Characteristic of the winter. The mean tenn
perature of Key West for the month Of January
is lower than that which prevailed this side of
the Mississippi River on Sunday.
The effect of this broad southerly air stream
is observed in the great humidity and frequent
dense fogs which follow. Its remote cause
would seem to be traceable to an extraordinary
radiation of solar heat during the present mid
summer of the Southern Hemisphere, the
excess of heated air being forced across the
Equator into our hemisphere These warm
spells have already very materially shortened
and mitigated the winter, which the poor so
much dreaded, and if they should continue at
intervals till February this will be one of the
mildest winters in American climatology
These non-periodic or abnormal changes in
the opinion of able meteorologists, come
from causes exterior to the Continent and it
is said that they seldom have compensative
changes during the same year and in the same
hemisphere. 1t does not, therefore, follow
that the extreme mildness of the early part of
the winter will be followed by extreme
severity, but, if we may Judge from ex-
perience, rather the contrary.

Bridge. in calling for State subsidy. win BE-
come proper subject for searching investi-
cation. Nine millions. they say. will finish
cost five millions the work to be done at the
same rates will hardly be finished short Of
twenty millions. Both cities want the bridge;
but the taxpayers have the right to demand
some reasonable limit to the bill, and some
fixed responsibility and solid securities for the
the bridge has been very costly job, but mill
ions may still be saved upon it in retrench-
ments from rigid responsibilities.
1t is reported that there are some twenty-five
or thirty grangers in the Assembly, and that
the ruling idea with them is cheap transporta-
one can predict the action of this Legislature
upon our railways and canals, it may be safely
assumed that special favors to our railway
kings have had their day, and that a general
reaction has set in against them which will
not be checked short of general system of
upon the subject; Pennsylvania has taken tup
in her new State constitution, and Congress al
ready feels the pressure of public opinion
upon this vital matter of cheap inland trans
portation. If, then, we have thirty grangers
at present in our State Assembly we may have
hundred before the end of the session, and
bills regulating railway freights and charges
which will gladden. the grangers of the West.
But, notwithstanding this new disturbing or
stimulating element of the grangers, we antici-
pate nothing startling from this Legislature.
We rather incline to the opinion that it viii be
distinguished only for its mastery inactivity
that if rendered too cautious to venture upon
any grand schemes for the public plumber it
will be too indolent and too discordant to give
us any substantial measures in the way of
much needed improvements or wholesome re-
forms that it will expend the session upon
the ordinary routine bills and in dabbling in
little jobs and that finally it will return to the
people with record with little in it to admire
and not much to condemn Against the recent
general Generalization and corruptions of our
legislative bodies, from Congress to Kansas,
there has been general popular awakening
which, we think, secures US against any great
schemes of robbery from this Legislature.
Otherwise we are disposed to be thankful for
small favors and have learned the folly Of great
expectations.

The Assistant Aldermen In . Muddle--
A Tempest in . Teapot.


The Board of Assistant Aldermen had q
lively time yesterday, growing out of the att
tempt Of the democratic members, who are in.
the majority, to reorganize the Board by the
election of new President and Clerk. The
old republican President, elected by bargain
one year ago, refused to surrender, and there
was for time aouble-headed session and o,
general row, ending in on adjournment until
Monday next. Mr.. Wade was chosen Presi-
dent of the Board in January, 1872 for ona
year, his term expiring with the year. Subse-
ouently the new charter was passed by tha
Legislature and became law. In section sin
the charter provides that the boards of Alder
men and Assistant Aldermen shall eaclsl
schoose President from its own members by
q call of the names of the members Of the
Board, upon which call each member shall an,
nounce his choice, and when once chosen hen
can be removed before the expiration Of his term.
rs Alderman or Assistant Alderman only by a
vote, taken by call of ayes or noes, of four,
fifths of all the members of the Board of whichl
he shall have been chosen President" The
same section further provides that "thiA
section, however, shall not be construed t0
require OF authorize q reorganization of the
existing Board Of Aldermen or Board Of AS
sistant Aldermen"
