Our Pnbllc Stock Abroad. tYom the Time. Five-twenties of the United States now J.rlng in London nay 73-4. If converted into live per cents., payable alroad, they would ap ' pieciate In value, as is proved by the price of . other bonds having similar conditions. Mas sachusetts sterling bonds, for example, gene rally rule two per cent, higher than Five twenties. The later Russian loans, which are made payable in London, bring fifteen per cent, more than those payable iu St. Peters burg. Holland three per cents., payable in London, bring one hundred and forty. Peru vian bonds, during the war with Spain, stood at ninety, or about twenty per cent, higher than Five-twenties, etc.; hence the justice of the inference that United States bonds would appreciate if issued in compliance with the same business principles which govern the loans of other first-class nations, . c., U'ing rmido payable at the great money centre of the world. The appreciation of Five-twenties hi Europe would necessarily carry with it an approxi mate increase in the value of Five-twenties held here, the amount held in Europe being largo enough to fix the market price of the whole loan here as well as abroad. All other Ameri can securities would likewise be influenced in the same direction, and greenbacks, which are the same security as Five-twenties, except that they bear no interest, ana are redeemable at the rate of four millions per month, would be thus brought nearer to the gold stau'ard without excessive contraction. The United States, with abundant resources and recuperative energy and force, has only to acquire the confidence of the financial world to take the highest stand in the market, and to borrow money at the lowest rates of in terest. The almost unprecedentedly low rate of in tere?t abroad at the present time 2 per cent, a year is peculiarly favorable for the pro posed conversions, and renders immediate ac tion on the part of Congress authorizing the new five per cents, highly important for the welfare of the whole country. It is a subject which can be appropriately legislated upon at the present session, as the proposition in volves no party or sectional question, anil being exclusively financial and promotive of the public credit originally recommended and again urged by Secretary McCulloch it would meet the prompt approval of the Presi dent and of the country. The Administration and the South Active Movement! Towards Reconstrc tlou. From the Herald. The White House, it appears, was the scene of a good deal of bustle on Saturday last on the important business of Southern Recon struction. Among the distinguished visitors present during the morning was General Grant, who remained in consultation with the President for quite a long time. The General had completed a letter of instructions, ap proved ly Secretary Stanton, and which he submitted to Mr. Johnson for his considera tion, with the name of five generals for the five military districts into which the ten ex cluded Rebel States by the new law are divided. These officers are Generals Thomas, Sheridan, Schofield, Sickles. Urd, or Hancock all good men. Meantime two enabling acts under the new general law have been proposed in the Senate one from Mr. Sumner and the other from Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts. Mr. Sumner's "bill to guarantee a republican form of gov ernment" to each of the ten outside States, and to provide for their restoration to practical rela tions with the Union proposes a provisional government for each of said States, to consist of a Governor and Legislative Council of thir teen, to be appointed by the President, with the approval of the Senate, and a registration of voters by said provisional Governments (excluding various classes of Rebels), in view j of a regular State reorganization. Mr. Wil son's bill proposes the shorter method of em- ' powering the military commanders in the I premises, or, with the consent of the com- ) mander in any case under his jurisdiction, I that the acting Governor shall be charged with I these provisional arrangements, including a I registration of voters. Some enabling bill pro viding a uniform system of action will proba- I hly be passed before the adjournment of the ; present session; and Senator Wilson's plan, i substantially, we learn, is approved by the : Judiciary Committee of each House. 1 While these proceedings are under way in Washington, the leading politicians and the people of the States directly concerned are beginning to recognize their real situation, and are actively moving to meet its requirements. In Virginia the Senate of the existing Legisla ture has agreed upon an election of a conven tion under the terms imposed by Congress; while the colored population of Richmond have taken the initiative towards a new party organization. North and South Carolina and Georgia are in an active state of fermentation, while in the name of Louisiana Governor Wells has issued a proclamation that all politi cal elections henceforth -.in the State must be regulated by tliis Reconstruction law of Con gress, including the disfranchisement of Rebels and the general enfranchisement of the blacks. He appears, however, on the charge of an un Htitutional assumption of power in this mat ter, to have come into collision with the exist ing pro-Rebel Legislature a dispute which the forthcoming military commander over Louisiana and Texas will most likely have to settle. Looking over the whole field, the idea is entertained in Washington by intelligent par ties that all the excluded States, from present indications, will be reinstated in both Houses of Congress by the 1st of January next, which will give them abundant time to organize and tlL.me their respective courses in regard to the coining Presidential election. On Saturday niiri.t last, however, on the occasion ot a com plimentary serenade, the new Senator, Morton, late Governor of Indiana, said that "there might le delays in reconstruction; hut lie anticipated that in two years the South would le admitted to all its rights." In other words, Senator Morton thinks this great consumma tion will hardly be reached till atterthe Presi dential contest of lcUS; but if the States con cerned, eac h and all, proceed actively to the work in meeting, in 1M!7, the terms of recon struction laid down, the dominant party will le compelled by Northern public opinion to oi.cn the doors and let them in. From every point of view, and in any event, the industrial, financial, social, and political interests ot the excluded States invite them to the speediest possible fulfilment of the terms of Congress. Progress of Ileconatruttlon. rVntn (he Trilmne. The Reconstruction act which passe 1 the late Congress over the President's veto is already virtually accepted by the South. It is, of course, denounced and execrated by cer tain noisy ex-Rebels (mainly of the bomb proof variety); but not many, even of these, talk of resisting it, while the policy of "mas- j terly Inactivity" has few advocates, and their , number is rapidly dwindling. And for this J there Is excellent reason, in the fact that, if j the ex-Rebels refuse to organize their States , under the act of Congress, the unconditional ' Unionists (white and black) will organize i each of and by themselves. If, then, the ex Rebels should insist on testing the constitu- j tionality of the act before the Supreme Court, ' they will simply compel that Court to decide whether a State organization by loyal men in obedience to an act of Congress, or a rival or ganization by ex-Rebels in deliance of Con gress, shall be recognized and upheld by the authority and power of the Union; and it does not seem probable that a majority even of our present Judges will decide that issue against Congress and the loyal organizations. The ten Rebel States are to be reorganized ' under the late act of Congress, and are to 1 choose Representatives and Senators to claim seats in the present (Fortieth) Congress. So much is already assured. And it is morally j certain that the great body of their people, irrespecti ve of past differences of politics or con dition, will participate in such reorganization and election. Nor is there any symptom of violent pertur bation or deadly collision likely to result from the act which was so lately stigmatized bv its enemies as one "to organise hell" in the South. On the contrary, the prospect is decidedly favorable to a nearer approach to peace anil order than has been exhibited at the South for years. Outrage and violence are less pre valent there than they have been; and there is reason to hope that the reconstruction at hand will be marked by no such hideous tragedies as those which in JSCS disgraced the cities of Memphis and New Orleans. The only clouds on the horizon are fairly chargeable to an omission by Congress to pre scribe the machinery whereby reconstruction is to le effected. Had the act preseriled a day (say the 4th of July) whereon the people of the ten States respectively shall (not may) meet and choose delegates to a Constitutional Convention, and directed either the provisional State authorities or the military district com manders to designate persons to hold the polls, count the votes, etc., all trouble would have been precluded. That the omission is unfortunate is already manifest in Virginia and in Louisiana. In Vir ginia, the blacks and other loyalists are ex horted not to vote at the election which will doubtless be held under the auspices of the State authorities, but to hold an election of their own. We trust means will be found to avoid a double election; and we cannot help advising the loyalists of that State to follow the lead of Francis H. Pierpont rather than that of James W. Hunnicutt. In Louisiana, it is reported that the ex Rebels propose to hold a constitutional elec tion as if in conformity to the act of Congress, but to reject the votes of all colored men ! We do not believe they will persist in this stupidity. If thoy mean to deny and resist the authority of Congress in the premises, their obvious course is to adhere to their pre sent State organization, and take no part in the choice of delegates to make another. On the whole, the good work of reconstruc tion is progressing favorably and rapidly. Those who have for years vociferated that the radicals were bent on keeping the Southern States unrepresented and in chaos until after the next choice of President, will be singing a very different song before December. Lord Perby and hit Dukes. From the World. The Tory Dukes are coming forward, as befits the derivation of their title, to the van ot their party in the impending battle with the great Liberal leader whom Mr. Beresford Hope pleasantly describes as "a blustering, foul-mouthed Quaker from Rochdale." The telegraph informs us that in the now com pleted reconstruction of the Earl of Derby's Cabinet, the Duke of Richmond takes the Presidency of the Hoard of Trade, the Duke of Marlborough becomes Lord President of the Privy Council, and the Duke of Bucking ham goes into the Colonial Ollice. The highest rank in the British peerage has never been so fully represented in any previous administration of the present century, nor, indeed, at any time since the Cabinet disre spectfully chronicled by history as the "Broad Bottom" Government of Henry Pelham in 1744, in which no less than six Dukes pf Dorset, Grafton, Bedford, Montagu, Argyll, ; and Newcastle had seats. As the British i peers have commonly had the courage and ! good sense to anticipate the advent of mis- ' I chief to their order, this influx of the "straw- ! ' berry leaves" by no means prognosticates any ell'ort to stem the tide of parliamentary i reform. ! One of the noblemen who have thus taken ollice under Lord Derby, indeed, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, is both an abler and a more liberal politician than the Marl of Carnarvon, who has made way for him in the Cabinet. As the heir to a magnificent position and a ruined fortune, the Duke, when Mar quis of Chandos, proved himself to be a man both of character and of ability. He was for many years chairman of one of the great English railways, and, as he has visited both the United States and the Canadas, he comes into the Colonial OtttVe at a time when his experience of travel and of business life will be of particular advantage both to himself and to the Cabinet which he has joined. Like his colleagues, the Dukes of Marlborough and Richmond, the Duke of Buckingham is still in the prime of life. The Duke of Marl borough who made himself famous, as Lord Blandt'ord, in tho House of Commons twenty years ago, by his efforts to reconstruct the Church of Kngland is a peer of more weight in certain sections of the English ecclesiastical world than iu the realms of politics or finance. If he cannot greatly help the Derby Govern ment, however, neither enii lin p reatlv barm it, in the essenti.n !1 v limmrni'v nftien which h lias accented. 'I'liu T.nnl lr..uiil.nt nf tin. 1 "V ( uicil is, in a manner, the Turveydrop m ,Jinti,,u administration, and the Duke ot .Marlborough i probably a match for any or Uie V hig p,.r8 i tli matter of deport ment. In England, where opinion as well as acres are hereditary, and noblemen are hnl 1. i T Polii'nl convictions as they are born to their coronets, the reappearance of a Duke 0f Richmond in the field ol public life, after a lapse of eighty years may perhaps excite attention. The grandfather of the actual buke (whose stately figure is familiar to us from it prominonoe in tne long popular picture of the "Death of Lord Chatham") sat in me ; Rockingham ad- ministration during tho list year of our national war of independence. His grandson may get some light from his ancestor's poli cal experience to help him in dealing with a popular movement which has already been signalized by London crowds cheering for "the United States" under the windows of an American Minister, himself the grandson of tlrtit John Adams on whom the Tory Kngland of 172 not unjustly looked as the loudest voiced and most implacable of her trans atlsntio rels-ls. The political lessons which America may read to Lord Derby and his dukes, however, roust unfortunately now be taken with a very large grain of salt. It will not be easy even for so bold and eloquent a speaker as the "blustering Quaker from Rochdale" to bring the Union just now into the llritish Parlia ment on a question of equal representation. If Mr. P.right appeals to America as a political model, the Tory Karl and his dukes may fairly turn bis own guns upon him, by simply show ing, what is the lamentable truth, that not even rebellious Ireland, shaken with rumors of a Fenian war, is so utterly unrepresented in the Hritish Parliament as are one-third of the Inhabitants occupying more than half the settled area of the United States, in the so called Congress of the American Republic.
