The Reform bill is now the excltim? question In England. A medium ol tbo supporter of the Government was held at the house of Lord EuBsoil on tho evcnlnsr of April 10, and an address was made by the noble lord at Ihe head of the Government "with temper and Judgment," we are awiured by the limes. He repeated the de termination announced by Mr. Gladstone at Liverpool, that by the Relorin bill the Govern ment would stand or fall. Those who have op posed what Is called "piecemeal reform" pro less to be comlorted by the assurance that a bill for redistribution of scats will speedily fol low the Franchise bill. By ttiis measure the Ministry will stand a sternly as by ihe Fran-cbif-e bill. The Minea, as an enemy of relorm, but anxious to go with the tide in tavor or it, accept this assurance as an evidence of tho change "which the chief organs of independent opinion in tho press have produced in the coun sels of the .Minister.." In other word"), the Timet proteases to consider the announcement ot Lord Hussell as a change In the Ministerial jirouamme from what was declared bv Mr. tludtone in. the House of Commons, and thus pavs its accustomed deference to screngta Dy withdrawins all opposition. In the meantime, although the Times pro fesses a certain degree ot satisfaction wit It ftus eell's Bpoechihat satisfaction is not shared by thOHC recalcitrant liberals who have been oppos ing relorm. Lord Grosvenor will still press his f-tithiitf amendment, the success of which, we are assured, will dissolve Parliament. Mr. 1,0 we and Mr. llorsman are still opposed to the measure, and we shall have very ablo but severe speeches lrom them In Parliament. Mr. Lain? and Mr. Edward James persist in opposition, while Mr. JJouvcrie, not being anxious, per Imps, to-go-.to the poll with au anti-reform record, has-stated that he will support the Govcrninentr In the country and press the airitation' -is "Violent aud unraniittras. The leopiearem earnest, ana meetings ate Doing ild tn all parts or too kingdom dem anainsr reform. It is hardly possible that its enemies will permit a dissolution. They would scarcely wisu to go to tire nation on tne question tnat Eng land's labor and genius were unworthy of the franchise. Mr. Lowe, at Calue, and Mr. Ilors man, at Stroud, would meet a reception which Jinirnsh snobs know so well how to give. We have, therefore, hopes of relorm. The fidelity 01 tne Ministry to the cause, added to the firmness of the English Liberals, lrads us to Ix-lieve that the Government will be strong enough to carry this measure of justice. The bill is not as broad as we could wish, but in jBnglish a well as in American politics the true plan is when we cauoot get a wbo'.o loaf to take as many slices as we can. We&houla like Eng land to be as generous to her people as we are When they come' to live with us. or even as Australia and Canada. It would be wise in the aristocracy to do so, aa the generosity would give them claims on the people and excite an affection like that, for instance, which has for centuries clustered around the illustrious housd of KussclL We Hud the greateit statesman of that name aa devoted to freedom as he was thirty j ears ago, and when he goes from us wo may expect a similar devotion from Lord Amberley. The noblemen of England should learn that their real strength is in the respect and cons cience ot the people, and that the aristocratic evstem la weak only in its opposition to true freedom. . We believe it is the destiny of that system to fall, but that destiny will be hastened a century by the bigotry and pride of such houses aa those of Stanley and Grosvenor. Great Activity In Government Securities. JFrom the Timet Within the past week or ten days there has Taeon an unusually, and, In the regular coarse f trade, we might add, an unprecedentedly Jieavy business transacted in all classes of the national stocks, at steadily advancing prices. At the outset of the movement, the currency obligations ot the Government met with most favor, especially the compound-Interest notes and seven-thirties. The former were bought in mainly by the national banks in huge sums, to be held aa an interest-bearing legal tender reserve. The effect of these purchases Is seen tn the swift rise in the price, which is now within tne smallest traction of par. and the whole of the accrued interest. The eeveu-thirties have been taken out of the mar ket, chiefly by private parties for investment purposes, in such extreme quantities as to re duce the available supply to very meagre limits, rendering quite difficult the execution of large orders, at even the hirh rates now current, the highest, indeed, by about two per cent., that tnese notes have ever commanded. The notes cannot be bought in round lots to-day at less than 102, and the accumulated interest, which, in the instance ot the second series, make tho abfolute cost price ot each hundred-dollar note pieclsely 104j. Early in December last the rul ing figures were 9Ci9Uj, interest added. Leav ing abide the interest item, the actual improve rueut in this particular national security is nearly six per cent in less than six montha, or ubiiut one per cent, a month. During the rupid appreciation of the currency Interest obligations, the gold-bearing bonds moved rather slowly, until .their relative cheapness turned the current of the enormous investment demand in their- favor. They are now in most request, and must continue so to be, at least until they shall have reached a point whch will place them proportionately ts biph as the currency stock, all the circum stances of the permanency of the investment and the rate of interest being duly considered. The ten-forty Ave per cent, bond have risen five per cent, within a few weeks, being now up to D6 to 9C, as against 90 J to 91 a month ago. The six per cents, of 1881 (or the "long sixes," as they are called in ihe street) have advanced three per cent, in month, being now 107 4, as against JOiA about the middle of March. As thej have absolutely fifteen years to run at the liberal rate of six per cent, per annum In coin, many wealthy investment buyers give them the pre ference. The popular five-twenties have ad- vtanoed two per cent, in loss than a month. Tiu.w Are now auoted verv strong at 1054. which covers the three per rant, coin interna due nexi Tuesday.- At the ruling rate of gold, thin i tr.nnthH' 'interest i worth and can be sold fn-finv' tor' about 1380 in currency i'r each 4hrf.fi dollars An coin. Deducting the currency value of tho Interest from the absolute cost of each hundred-dollar bond (interest in cluded), tue net price would be a frap.t. inn less than 1011. ex the 1st of May .nniin. This indicates that Ihe five-twenties liave not, thus tar, advanced a speedily as . most other public securities, though iiipv are now tenaciously holding their in tliL- upward movement.

To tho noble con servative policy of the present head Of lb TreasnaV Department, the proeresslve tnorcae or (his confidence ia likewise largely due, Tho Mexican Question President Job-icon's Settlement With France, and Ills Ultimatum. ' , From the Herald. ' A grateful senso of satisfaction will be Im parted to all sections aud classes of the Ameri can , people in the Mexican correspondence Which we published on Tuesday. After many months of letter-writing between the two Gov ernments, in which every device of diplomacy is exhausted by Louis Napoleon, he gives way to oor inflexible requisition of non-intervention in Mexican affairs, and gracefully retires. We perceive, too, from the calm and deliberate manner in which this great victory of American diplomacy has been achieved, that President Johnson from the first clearly foresaw that the game was entirely in his hand, and that there wns no occasion lor any hurry in its solution or any excitement or apprehension. Louis Napoleon gracctully retires from his Mexican adventure, which, with the collapse of the late S uthern Confederacy, became to him a I'xdin? castle in the clouds; but what is the position in which he has placed the deluded house ot Austria? It Is a position at once ludi crous and humiliating. A prince of the house of Austria, under the protection of Napoleon, and with the escort ot a French army of fifty thousand men, is set up in "the balls of the Montezumas" as the Emperor ot Mexico. An election ie held under French bayonets, from which Maximilian is proclaimed Umperor by the will of the Mexican people. He is thus re ctguized by France as an independent sovereign, tuoueh still the ward of Napoleon. But Napo leon, from the remonstrances of our Government, is constrained to withdraw his buyonets and leave his Austrian protege to the will of the Mexican people. Maximilian then pleads the, necessity of European troops. "True," says ' Nupoleon. "They, however, will be supplied you by our brother, the Emperor Francis Joseph." It is understood, accordingly, tnat Austria is to fill up the deficiencies resulting from the recall of the soldiers ot France, and that ten thousand Austriaus, as tho first instal ment, are awaiting at Trieste transportation for Vera Cruz. Now, considering the present complication between Austria and Prussia, with Napoleon as the prompter of Bismark behind the scenes, the stupidity of the Uapsburgs in this Mexican ar rangement taxes our credulity. All the facts and all the indication connected with the pre sent situation of European affairs point to a set tlement with Austria, by Napoleon the Third, 01 all the outstanding balances against her from the time of her decisive alliance against Napo leon the First. They involve the p acriflce, first, ot Josephine, and next of Maria Louisa, who was given to and accepted by Napoleon as a cer tain bond ot peace between Austria and Franco. The perfidy of Austria, in Joining the Holy Alli ance which carried the first Napoleon to SU Helena, remains as an outstanding balance to be settled by Napoleon the Third, and that he meditates a settlement which will cut down Austria to a second or tuird rate sower, is now apparent upon the surface ot European politics. It this posture of Euiopean affairs. Austria, it appears, Is preparing to supply the places ot the French troops to be withdrawn from Mexico, and by an arrangement, too, with Napoleon. What, then, will be the course ot Francis Joseph when inlormed from Mr. Seward, through our Minister at Vienna, as it appears he U by this time, that the sailing of the first detachment of Austrian troops for Mexico will be the signal for the suspension of diplomatic relations between the United States and Austria, and that General Grant, if necessary, may next be called upon to enforce the doctrine of European non-intervention in Mexico ? In this dilemma Austria will doabtless apply for redress to Napoleon. But what then? Napoleon can only advise his im perial brother and catspaw to follow his exam ple. Maximilian must then return home, the In u thing stock of all Europe. There will be matter here for a misunderstanding between the imperial houses of Pari and Vienna, from which we may expect a. resumption of the work of Na poleon where it was left off in the late Italian war. With the snccees of Jeff Davis we should have had, no doubt, nnder Napoleon, a reconstruo tion ot the map of North America; with ihe downfall of Davie and the Mexican offshoot of his Southern confederacy,, we may look for a reconstruction ot the map ot Europe, and that Austria, the stalking. horse of Napoleon in one hemisphere, will become nis victim in tne otner. In anv event, the diplomatic solution of this Mexican problem at Washington is an achieve ment which will place this country tn its proper' position as a leading and positive power among the great nations of the earth, and as the arbiter ot the affairs of this continent. Kaiser Joseph's Difficulties From the Daily New. A veritable Ishmael, lust now, is Kaiser Joseph, of Austria, with hand lifted against everybody, and everybody's, hand against him. Much to distract his mind comes to him, now, planning in Vienna how to avoid overcrowding difficulties, and watching the cloud of battle gathering about him. Squabbles and threatened hostilities with aggressive Prussia over Intermi nable and fccarceiy-to-ue-uuciorbtooii question ot Schleswig-Holstein: menace ot war, too, for him on the borders ot tne umpire, aim wucn talk or Kheuish frontiers to be wrested irom his grasp by Emperor Napoleon in leatrue with Prussian liifmark; question, too, 01 Hungarian iaun, and threats lrom Italy in the luadnUtcral. Hence, truly, is Kaiser Joseph brought tj his wit's ends. And now supervene to his own home troubles serious words of warning from the United States over troublesome little Max in Mexico, last and mont noisy ot Haosburgers. especially ira ail nis cuiLipin-auuiia uuu quar reNome relations with other powers) should Austrian Joseph find a cause for mortined feel ings and disappointed hopes in the present con dition Ot Max,-late Arcnuuke on sonu iouuuo- tions. now Emperor on nimay tenure, r or nne opemng . was mat ior a younger oroiuur tuoublecome, too, ne, pernaps, wnen question of succc3sion to tho Austrian crown should come to be considered), aud much power and renown to be gained by setting up nouse, in an imperial way, in the land of Montezuma.

But lor an tnis nne prospect to be changed, atter much loss of life and treasure; great battles, sieges, and marches; load proclamations and decrees; excessive promised, and profuse expen diture of money on home improvements, pros pecting for railways, building palaces, and what not! ia serious matter tor reflection tor elder brother in Vienna looking out for the arrival of the younger lrom .Mexico, with wile, court, bag and baggage, to draw his yearly stipend from the? imDerial family treaswv. never verv ple thoric with gold, and )uat now sorely straitened wiui necessity ot meeting military contiugcU' cies. . Thus, then, environed with manifold obstacles to peace of mind and a contented spirit, is the present condition ot the man who inherits the peradveuture, if from him could come prompt military counsel, sagacity in disposition of sol diers and genius ot conception even. sav. like Frirdrlch ot lYussla, or, later, Corslcan Bona parte, who set Europe by tne cars, humbling oppoping kings and harrying armies ot enemies for marly to decides then, indeed, sreiU micht be the spectacle of him airing victorious war against tnreelold resistanea. Bat littlo enough ol that martial ' tact is poscs-d by Irancls JoKeph.

Robert Dale Owen's Plan of Recon struction. From the World. A Washington despatch In Tueiday's Eoen 7ig Post states that a majority ol the Recon struction Committee have agreed to adopt the plan of reconstruction proposed by Robert Dale Owen. We were prepared for this announce ment by a letter to the Chicago Tribune, writ ten from Washington by one of Its editors, whose acrimonious hostility to the President gives him confidential access to the Republican members. The Chicago editor stated that, so far as he could judge "from a pretty extensive intercourse with members, there are two propositions which meet with moft lavor, and the probabilities are that one or the other ot them will be adopted by Congress, and submitted to the states for ratification." These favored competitors to the plan of tbe President, are that ot Henator Stewart, already familiar to our readers, and the plan of Robert Dale Owen, tbe noted socialist, some twenty vears ago a member of Congress : from Indiana. If. as it seems likely, Mr. Owen's plan is adopted as tne sole Congressional nvul of the President's, it will immediately be mado a party test, ajd will, of necessity, array the whole Republican party, as a solid phalanx, against President Jonnson. It is on all accounts desirable that the iswue should be thus distinctly presented. As soon as tbe policy of Congress is relieved of vnguenesF, a large segment ot the Republican party will cleave off and support the President. Mr. 'Johnson is, as yet, politically clawed as a Republican; and aa Congress has agreed upon no counter proposition, as it nns set up no i definite policy as a rival to his, citizens who ' have heretolore acted with the Republicans have not eatistii d themselves as to the suffi ciency of the grounds of separation. Tho aspect in which the controversy has appeared to many, is, that while the President has a policv fully lormed, Contrress has merely Inter posed a delay for the purpose of investigation; and that the difference between them is more a question of time than of prlncipte. The feeling with many Pas been, that if Congress needs time tor inquiry, it is reasonable they bhould have it; and that so long as their inqui ries reach no definite retult, so long as they confront the plan of the President with no well shaped rival, matters are not ripe tor a party split. But when two hostile plans are presented on the most Important question of the time, fur ther neutrality must be impossible. Every voter will be either a supporter of Congress or a sup porter ot the President. Mr. Owen's proposition begins to loom up Into mch formidable competition with the Presi dent's that we Insert it. It is in the form of an amendment to the Constitution, consisting of (he following sections: Section 1. All discriminations among the people of ttio United States because of t ace, color, or pre viodi condition, in respect to their civil ribu, are bereafter prohibited. Section 2. On and afor the 4th of July, 1876, all male adult citizens of twenty-ono vears ol aiie, irre spestive of race 01 color, shall be eadowed witn the nirht ot suffrage at all elections, Federal as well as etato. Hcction 8. Bepresentatlon In Conarress, and e'ectors for President and Vice-President, until the 1th of July, 187S, shall be based on the number oi male adult citizens entitled to exercise the right ot sat. lrae bv the laws of the resueetive Mates:, but after that period representation shall be based on the whole population. Section i Obligations and liabilities incurred in aid ot iniunectiou or rebellion, and claims I t com pensation on account ot emancipation of s aves, are void, and shall sot be assumed nor paid by any state or the baited biates. Accompanying this plan and forming part of it is the following joint resolution: .Resolved, by the Senate and House ot Representa tives of the United State of Amerioa in con ureas assembled, That whenever any one of tho eleven Hiatt i whose inhabitants were lately in insurrection, through its Legislature, having Deeu.ttrst awthorized o tedoby a popu ar vote of its present electors, to vole under tho laws tbereol as tbev existed in 1860, shall have ratified the loreeoinir amendments to the Constitution of the United Status, and shall have meddled its Conetitution and laws in conformity therewith, then, and in that case, such State shall be recop nzed as having fully and validly resumed iu loriuer relations with this Government, and its chosen representatives shall be admitted into the two Houses of the .National LegWlature; piovided that cucb Senators and Representatives shall pos sess all the quaiilicatioBi required by the Constitu tion ana laws oi tne united btates. It Is perhaps hanlly worth while to co into any discussion of this proposition until it shall have been reported by the Keconstruction Com mittee. In good truth, we shall not be sorry to see it adopted by Contrress. It has lone been evident that no reconciliation is possible be tween that body and the Piesident; and as an appeal must be made to the people, the sooner the Coseressional policy takes shape the more ample will be the time tor discussion previous to the fall elections. Since there must ba a con test, we cannot doubt that the President will be as well suited to have this proposition of Air. uwen's presented as tne rival to his as to have another. The nioro nalnable its ab surdity, the more assured is the triumph ot the rresiuem. We wlP, at present, remark on only one fea mre oi air. uweun poucy;aoa tnat is its sell stultifying character. It recognizes the com petency or the present State Legislatures to ratily tbe proposed amendment to the Consti tution, wmie denying, in tue same breath, their present right to representation in Con gress. To ratify an amendment ie a much higher function than to propose it. It is absurd to say that btate.t which are acknow ledged to be comDetent to ratify, are incom. retent to participate in making the proposal. Why are tbey excluded lrom Congress r Is it Decause tney are not states r it is aamtited that they are States by asking their ratifica tion, since only States can ratitv. Is it be- eaure they have no competent LegiHlaturesf it Is admitted thtt their .Legislatures are com petent, by making provision tor their acting on theamer.dment, and promising full restora tion on condition that tbey act according to dictation.' The sole defense of the delay in ad mitting the Southern members has consisted In the allegation that the (Southern States had no btate governments which Ooneress could recog nize as vanaj and xet their Mate governments are fully recognized as valid by a proposition which acknowledges them to be comuetent tn perform the very highest of all federal funo tions. If they are States, with competent Bute governments, nothing is more incontrovertible than their right to immediate representation In Congress, ir they are not States, with com petent Slate governments, It is the height of absurdity to aK mem to ratify constitutional amendments. ' . i It there were no existing Constitution which the nieinoers or congress are sworn to support, they might, perhaps, act on their untrammelled judgment ot what is best for the interests of their political party. There can be no reasona ble doubt that the interests ot that party are promoted by the exclubluu of the Southorn States a- lonff As pLss-iblo; but, unfortunately, tlie Conptitiit Jti oeclures that every State In this I nion is tnthled to fwo Senators and to a num l,er of Representatives proportioned to Hi popu lation as derei mined by the deeeimint consu. The Senators m list Indeed be chosen by a com i.eient LcgWatore; but li i a manifest felt-cm-trsdiction to I old that a Legislature acknow ledged to be competent to ratltv a Constitutional nun minion t is not comtetent to elect Senators. Mr. Owen's proposition, like every pltiu that can be deviced u(?ainl the President's, cirs its own throat by its m plied Aduir-sions. Psab-nrrtity is as it some wordy member ot Con7TP?s should miike a -ct specch'to prove by argument that he Is dumb. SPECIAL NOTICES. PROCLAMATION. liitALTii Omen. I rntl.ADEU'iiiA.
