Reform la England.
Trom tfie Tribune.
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.

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.

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.
