There is consequently great joy in all tho land, both among producers and dealers. Thc Reform movement? The New York Herald, of the 17th, says: A despatch hy tho cable, yesterday, ?informs us that thc Tory Government of England is preparing a plan to think John Bright's reform, move? ment. It is announced as a brilliant scheine for battling tho reformers, in tho coming session of Parliament, bj introducing a Government reforii] measure, which is to bo laid on the table until tho succeeding session, the Ministry generously offering the House of Commons au opportunity of considering it in the meantime Whenever the Tories obtained power they were always accustomed to make a higher bid for popular favor thai their predecessors in office; but theil attempts in this direction were usually confined to promises, which wert rarely, if ever, fulfilled. In the pre sent advanced conelition of public in telligence, quickoned, as it is, by tin agitation of Bright and his colleagues .the Tory Government dare not go a far as the people are prepared to de maud in the matter of Parliamentary reform. It is one of those moment ous crises in which an aristocratic an< land-owning Government is placed ii a most embarrassing position, be tween the popular clamor for th right of suffrage, which they canrro acceelo to without signing the cleat warrant of their own order, and th desire to retain a tenure of offic which, without, some concessior must, in the existing state of affair* bo very brief. The object of this new movemen is doubtless to gain time and t weaken the effects of Bright's agit; tion by some assurance of a compr< misc. We hardly think, howeve that the Government will succeed i flanking John Bright, and we ai morally certain that no reform me; sure which the Tories dare introchn will satisfy the demands of the Britis people, with the present high-strur sentiment that prevails in tho thr< kingdoms. A WONDERFUL HOBBY-HORSE.-Tl Washington Star .mentions an ant maton horse, invented by William '. Godwin, of that city, for exhibitie at the Paris Exposition.

The Southern cotton crop, it i ported, will realize over $200,000. Tilt- Rfcsalt. Tho National Intelligencer reviews the result of tho recent elections as follows: The radical organs allude to their recent successes as "positively over- j whelming,"because they were achiev? ed, as is asserted, "in tho face of au official patronage wielded by an un? scrupulous Executive, amounting to nearly $300,000,000." They argue from this assumption that the result is au unquestionably popular verdict against the conservative policy of tho President. This argument is as de? fective as tho premises are false. "Un? fortunately for the country and the Administration, this vast offical pa? tronage, the medium of almost incal? culable political influence, was not "wielded"' by the Executive, but was left almost exclusively in the hands of tho radicals, and was by them used ? industriously, etiergetically aud un? scrupulously in tho achievement o? their recent victories. The result emphatically teaches the lesson that if this vast pat ron age had been "wielded" by the President, as was done by all his predecessors, and as had come to bo tho established practice of National Executives, there would have been few radical victories in the last election to record. It is useless to deny that this patronage exercises a great influence .upon elec? tions. Every office-holder is a politi? cal worker. We have heretofore shown, by a minimum calculation, that this patronage is worth to the party exercising it at least from 30,000 to 40,000 votes in Pennsylva? nia, and from lu, 000 to 50,000 in New York. Tn New Hampshire, Connec? ticut, Illiuois, Ohio, Indiana and other States, the influence of this pa? tronage bears a corresponding ratio. It has been a canse of incessant com? plaint on the part of friends of Pre? sident Johnson, that he has declined to follow the example of all his pre? decessors, and has permitted almost the whole of this vast patronage to remain in the hands of radical parti? sans, to bebytbxm "wielded" against those who were supporting the policy of his Administration. Au analysis of the result of tho recent elections in various localities, shows conclusively that, wherever this patronage was enjoyed by sup? porters of the Administration, there were great conservative gains; and that wherever it had been left iu the hands of tho radicals, largo radical gains were realized. For instance, in the city of Philadelphia, where a con? siderable portion of this patronage had, only a few days before the elec? tion, been transferred to tho conserva? tives, the radical majority was reduced more than one-half ; and, in the city of New York, where a similar course was pursued,.the conservatives gained over 11,000 votes; while, wherever else in those States the radicals were left in undisturbed possession of the public offices, they succeeded in ef? fecting a heavy increase of the radical vote. It is a plain deduction, from these facts, that, if removals had been made in the same proportion through? out these and other States, the small majorities by which they were carried by thc, radicals would have been con? verted into much greater conserva? tive majorities. An examination of the results by the light of these facts proves that, with very few exceptions, the radical victories are attributable mainly, if not entirely, to tho possession and unscrupulous use, by that party, of this vast . patronage, "amounting to nearly $300,000,000," by their own computation. They have enjoyed and still continue to enjoy nearly the whole of this patronage of the Ad? ministration they continually de? nounce, and are striving to break down; and yef. the President, who has left in their hands these elements of vast political power, has been and is still daily abused by those who aro thus fattening at the public crib, quite as fiercely as if he had followed tho example of his predecessors, and taken the offices-from them. The National Intelligencer says: "The Southern people were educated in the school of States rights. They denied the sovereignty of the Federal Government. They held it to bo the creature of tho States, and that the power which made could also un? make. They, therefore, subordinated their allegianco to tho Federal Go? vernment to that duo their State, and pride themselves more in being Virginians or [Alabamian^ than citi? zens of tho United States. What? ever others may think, therefore, they justly scorn the idea of being perjurers. Hut laying this consider? ation aside, they entered into a revo? lution for what they deemed a just cause, or when begun, supported it as a choico between two evils." John Bright declared in a recent speech, that during tho last six years the British navy has cost as much as the United States navy. In this time England has been in a condition of profound peace, while the United States have had to build or buy GO J ships, to man them, to furnish them with munitions of war, and to fight them during the greatest struggle that any nation ever waged.
