- INFORMANT REPoRT.--The Report of
the Joint Committee oe Congress on recon.
struction, published in another column is,
perhaps, the most important document that
has yet emausted from that body. The re-
port wss adopted in committee by the
large vote Of 10 to 8. Those voting in the
negative are said to be Reverdy johnson
Of The Senate, and Messrs. Grider and Rod.
gers Of the House; ....
The First Section embodies the euarau.
tees of the Civil Rights Law and secures
protection to all American citizens.
The Second Section confines the basis of
representation IN all the States to voters, and
until the South enfranchises her negroes she
will be represented in Congress and the cleo
torsl college only according to her white
voting population. This provision reaches
the North as well as the South, but the ef-
feet upon the late Slave States will be to
leave them with greatly diminished power
IN Congress unless they give suffrage to oil
heir people.
The Third Section ieprives the rebels and
their siders and abettors of the right to vote
for President and Congress till the year 1870.
The Fourth Section prohibits the payment
of the rebel debt, either by the United States
OF State governments The bill is just and
fair one, and of which no true friend of the
Union should complain.

fW In the Senate of The United States
are two members whose record. during the
war, will give them an unenviabe notoriety
We refer to Reverdy johnson, of Maryland,
and Garret Davis, of Kentucky. Both SYM
pathisers with treason, without the courage
to avow it openly, they have both made
themselves ridiculous in their attempts to
justify their actions. There is, however, q
difference in the calibre of the two men,
johnson is an able lawyer but reckless
political renegade, without particle of
political honesty. Several months since he
made an able argument on the subject of the
citizenship of emancipated slaves under the
amended Constitution. A few days since he
controverted all he had said, when Senator
Trumbull put a quietus on him, by asking
the clerk to read Mr.. Johnson's former
speech.
Davis, with moro venom and less brains,
befogs himself in his remarks, and when re-
buked, gets mad, and plunges deeper into
the mire and blurts out his treason so as to
shock even his political associates, and then
suppresses the publication of his treason.

% Our neighbors of the Gazette and
Democrat are having free fight. The for
ner having published several columns of
extracts from the Democrat, expressive of its
opinions of President johnson, about a year
since, is not viewed in a friendly light by
the latter. These opinions were neither Gu.
logistic or complimentary and yet the editor
OF the Democrat says, "he never saw two
columns of more readable matter in the Ga
sette." Still, he evidently thinks their pubica-
tion out of season at this time, and endea-
vors to reconcile the seeming inconsistency
of his past and present views on this subject,
upon the hypothesis that the President, like
the Tycoon of Japan, represents two distinct
characters, in one person. That he is dem
ocrat when sober, and Republican when
not. Now we beg leave to differ from this
opinion of the Democrat, as experience has
shown just the reverse. 1t is only when the
President is excited that copperish symptoms
are developed and a disordered Imagination
is manifested. His speech of the 22d of Feb
ruary is case in point. ....

PLANK ROAD TO ST. LOUIS We
cannot too strongly urge upon our
citizens and the citizens of Saginaw
City the propriety of the immediate
organization of company to build a
plank road to st. Louis, in Gratiot
county. The State Road is now open
to that point, and the gentleman
whose name we cannot at this moment
recall--who was the first Commissioner
appointed thereon, came through last
week, and in conversation with parties
in this city, freely stated as the result
of his first experience that merchan-
disc of all kinds could be purchased
here at lower prices than in Detroit,
and that it would be greatly to the
advantage of the people. of Gratiot
county to transfer their trade to this
section. We have before shown by a
compilation from the census statistics
that Gratiot is one of the most prom
Using counties in the state, and. it
should need no argument to convince
our people that it is to their interest
to open communication with that
quarter at once by means of first
class public thoroughfare.

in a pertinent and patriotic speech
announced the object of the meeting.
After some eloquent remarks made by
Major THOMPSON of this city, Com

tuition and Bylaws, to report at an
adjourned meeting to be held on Sat
urday evening next, Feb. 10, at seven
o'clock. All who have been in the

interest to all who retain the patriotic
zeal of faithful soldiers.

are interests in this city outside of

PIONEER FIRE Co.'S BALL.=--The
Ninth Annual Ball of Pioneer Engine
Company, No. !, of this city, comes
off in accordance with the undertaking
character of their Terpsichorean sea-
son, on Wednesday, February 22d, at
the Errst House. The Dancing Hall
which will be used for the occasion, is
on the third floor of the centre store
in the block adjoining the Eserstt,
which has just been erected by Mr..
Grouse, and is 2Oxs2 feet in extent,
neatly finished, with excellent floor
and will admirably answer the purpose
to which it is to be so appropriately
dedicated. 1t is connected by ample
passage-ways with the Hotel, of which
it is in fact part, under the late en-
largement.
OF the capabilities of the Everett
proprietors as regards the feasting
division of the entertainment there is
no question; they know what to do
and how to do it, and having the in
clination as well as the ability, are
certain to spread bill of fare which
will suffer nothing by comparison
with any former banquet of the Pho
neers.
As usual the Pioneers are making
every effort in their power to render
the entertainment in every respect
pleasant, interesting and agreeable,
and we doubt not the result will prove
as usual, rousing benefit" and
"grand good time" So mote it be.
