obviously intended to mislead public opinion
and the latest dispatches indicate the probable
failure of the whole plan. England, Prussia,
and Russia had from the beginning shown
indisposition to take part in the Conference
unless France would submit definite proposi-
tion for the settlement of the Roman question
All these three Powers appeared to sympathize
more with the desire of the Italian Govern
ment to complete the national unity than with
the arguments Of Louis Napoleon in favor OF
the French Intervention and the maintenance
of the temporal power.
1t is now reported from Europe that speech
of the French Minister Rouher on the Roman
question will probably defeat the plan of
conference, as it seems to PREJUDICE the whole
case. What were the sentiments of M. ROuher
on the subject can be but imperfectly derived
from the brief, and perhaps inaccurate,
wording of the cable dispatches. They make
M. Rouher say that France is not opposed to
Italian unity, but objects to Italy taking
possession of Rome by force. This would not
exclude the agreement Of France to a
new European convention, which would
transfer the greater part or the whole
of the Papal territory to Italy; but both the
clerical party in France and the Governments
of England, Prussia and Russia, have construed
the speech as an adoption by France OF the plan
of the clerical party. If the construction put
upon M. Rouher shall prove to be correct, the
conference will probably not meet at all.
The Moniteur assures us that the negotia-
tions for the meeting of the conference are still
continued, and the Government still hopes to
carry its points We are likely to learn now
within a few days whether the announcement
of the Moniteur is correct or incorrect. But in
| either case it is almost certain that the in
huence of Napoleon will be insufficient to Sc
cure any permanent guarantees for the pre-
| servation of the temporal power.

July 4, 1862 will be that the premium on gold
wiz gradually decline, until at that date Il
will stand at par. We do not see anv such
power In a mere act Of Congress over the price
of gold. We can see that il gold is made arti-
fcially dear by boarding it, the price will 90
up; and if it is released from confinement. the
premium will go down. Mr.. Morrill, fails to
show in what way we will be in any better
position to resume in 1869 than we are now,
unless his simple assumption be correct, that
the effect of promising to resume then will
gradually remove the premium on gold. This
assumption we utterly deny. The price of
gold then, as now, will depend on the proper
ton of the supply TO the demand. II the Sc
cretary of the Treasury boards then as he
does now half or two-thirds of all the gold in
the country, he will have the same effect to
keep up the price of gold by dimin-
ishing the supply that he has now, and on
July 4, 1869, gold will still range At 130 to
l40. This being true, Congress will then be
under the same inducements to repeal or ex-
tend the law now proposed by Mr.. Morrill, as
it is now under to pass his law postponing
specie payments and there would be an end
OF the "remedy." There is no use of ad-
ministering sedatives to a patient that is
already in stupor, or of contriving plans
whereby the return to specie payments may
be postponed, when that result can so much
more easily be accomplished by simply doing
nothing.

1t is now fully four weeks that Napoleon
has been trying to persuade or to coax the
Cabinets of Europe into an acceptance OF his
proposition for a European Conference. Dur
ing this time the official and semi-oficial press
of Paris has made the utmost efforts to make
the world believe in the entire success of
French diplomacy. We have, consequently,
been repeatedly informed by the cable that all
the Powers had agreed to the Conference.
But as in SO many other cases before, time
has shown the assurances of the French Gov
eminent premature, its movements being

AIr. MOrriII's Plan.

From the N. Y. Tribune.
We published recently a speech of Senator
Morrill,, embodying plan for the resumption
of specie payments. He proposes that the
Government enact now that it will resume
specie payments ON July A. 1869. He regards
it as important that the public shall be given
time to prepare for the event. Is he certain
that the portion of the public now opposed to
specie payments will not, instead of preparing
to resume then, prepare to repeal the act
He estimates by process which is too cir
ouitous to be convincing that we now have
s4OO. .OOO, 600 of gold in the country. We
hope we have. If we have, we are not likely
soon to have any more. We should be glad
to see it pointed out. The SubTreasury
has S100 600, 900. Mr., Morrill, states the
amount in the hands of the national banks
on the 1st of October last at $40, 256, l3O. The
specie in the banks of the city of New York
is stated for December at $40, ,S05, 254. Where
is all the rest of this gold which Mr.. Nor
ril's estimate calls for ? Is it conceivable
that the American people, nine-tenths of
whom have not see gold coin in five years,
| are boarding in their stockings and hiding
/ places more gold than the total in the country
amounted to in 1867 Heartily as we would
| rejoice to know that the quantity of gold has
! increased during the five years in which we
have had no use for it as money, such phe-
! nomenon would violate all precedents. Mr..
| Morrill, also proposes that the National banks
| he required to keep on hand as part of their
reserve the gold which the Government shall
nav them as the interest on the bonds depo-
sited by them as security for their circulation.
II they already pay in taxes S5,OO0,000 more
than they receive in interest, this will be nc
small burden to them; yet any move which
tends to base our currency ON specie is entitled
TO rel pectful consideration. Mr.. Morrill, thinks
the eject of solemnly enacting that the Gov
eminent will resume specie payments OF

cold, and the Premium Thereon.


From The ". Y. World.
The decline in the premium on gold to l34k
has disturbed many speculative theories; and
it were well, perhaps, to consider some of the
causes of the turn the market has taken.
In the first place, then, the "bull' move
ment in gold received a serions check from the
result Of the October and November elections,
which foreshadowed a suspension of the i'm
practicable schemes of radical Congress, and
the defeat OF their purpose to seize upon the
executive branch of the Government; and as
the apprehension of political disorders in this
country was one of the reasons which many
gave for boarding gold, this prop to the pre-
MUM has been thereby removed.
Secondly, the large exports and the dimin-
ished imports of merchandise have, if not
turned the balance of trade in our favor, at
least reduced exchanges to point at which it
has not been profitable 10 export gold. Con-
sequently the twenty-four millions which the
Government has paid out for the November
interest has remained dead weight upon this
market, costing the holders large percentage
to carry it, till, tired of the burden, with little
prospect of rise, the number of sellers has
constantly increased.
| Again, gold was in measure supported by
large foreign houses, who hoped by this means
to maintain the prices andimprOve the demand
for their merchandise. Many of these houses
have latterly failed, and the gold they held has
come upon the market for sale, adding to the
supply that came from the Federal treasury.
Fourthly, the dull trade has reduced the
demand for gold to pay custom duties, and
thus deprived the market of one of its most
effective supports.
But perhaps the most potent influence in re-
ducing the premium on gold is the culmina-
tion of all the speculative theories upon which
the premium has been sustained for many
months at considerably above its mercantile
basis. The time has arrived when nearly all
holders expected q considerable advance,
which would permit them to ''get out' at a
profit; consequently, the market is one in
which, to use a commercial phrase, "there are
more sellers than buyers"
The course of gold in the immediate future
is a subject of active discussion in commercial
circles. 1t seems to be taken for granted that
Congress will content itself with stopping con-
traction. The exports, from the rapid move
ment of cotton are maintained at large figures,
while imports are on very reduced scale.
There is no apprehension of renewal at Wash
ington of the violent political scenes of the past
year. The Federal treasury will disburse
about thirty millions of gold in January. But
on the opposite side, and more powerful than
all these, is the question of the price of Fede
raj bonds in the European markets. Gold
will decline just as far as the bonds will ad
vance in London and Frankfort, in response
thereto. When our bonds cease to advance
abroad, decline in gold here will bring then
home for sale leading to shipments of gold tC
pay for them; and thus an equilibrium viii
soon be established
