RECONsrRUCiIoN.

The Committee on Reconstruction
appointed in the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes. have at last made theii
renort. It embraces a plan for the
restoration of the Southern States to
their proper relations in the union'
and proposes some amendments to the
Constitution, regulating the repre-
,entation of those states In Congress
and providing safeguards against
rebel votes, and the rebel war debt
It proyides th,t the apportionment
of members of Congress shall be
based upon the number of votes, SO
that the number Of their representa-
tives will depend upon the number
of persons entitled to vote.
If Southern states do not see III TO
confer the right of suffrage upon the
colored man, they cannot have repre-
sentation upon him. II they allow
him to vote, he is then to be count
oil, in estimating the number OF rep
resentatives they are entitled to.
Not only is slave representation
abolished, hut also, is 1t provided
that there shall be no representation
upon those who once were slaves un-
less they have conferred upon them
the right to vote.
This leaves the right to the elect
i've franchise, wholly in control OF the
states, for their separate regulation.
This plan Of apportlonment is one
that was early advanced by distin'
guished member of Congress, and
meet with general approval.
Another section DISTINGUISHES. those
who have engaged in the rebellion
and gave it support, until the year
1870. The bill further provides that
the leaders of the rebellion, and all
officers above the rank of Colonel,
shall be forever prohibited from hold
ing office, and that when these amend
ments are ratified by the states, then
and not till then, shall those states
be restored to full privileges and
rights in the Union.
Some of the Union members OF the
Committee disagreed upon the last
clause above referred to, and an ef
fort will doubtless be made to admit
those who can take the oath, at n pc
riod sooner than could be done under
the provisions of the bill.
AS whole, the report of the Com.
mittee is one which will meet the de-
cided approval Of the loyal masses.
1t embodies plan of reconstruction
that is wise, just and certainly very
humane and liberal toward those who
have waged four years war to de-
stroy the Union. 1t will not suit the
Copperheads--of course not-noth-
ing would suit them short of supreme
rebel control. One of their shining
lights now in Congress is Davis of
Ky, who, but short time siuce in
his seat in Congress said in substance
that the rebelselected from the South
and the Northern Democrats in Con
grcss ought to meet together and or
ganize, and then the President OF the
United States would have right to
recognize them as Congress and ig
more the present body, as now elected
and organized. a
Mr.. Howard, a loyal member, in
stantly denounced the proposition as
reasonable, and administered with
ering rebuke.
Union men are Tstspding firm ev
erywherc, botlrin Congress and out
of it, and despite the hopes of Cop
perheads aud rebels, they will stand
together and continue to govern and
control q rescued and redeemed M
ton.

ANCIENT WAToHEs.-Many inventions
of the greatest value are sometimes the
most difficult to trace to their original. 1t
is so with clocks and watches. Neither the
precise year of their invention, nor the
names of their inventors, can be confidently
stated Till the close of the tenth century,
no other mode of measuring time than by
the su dial, or the hour glass, appears to
have existed; and then we first heard of a
graduated mechanism adapted to the pur-
pose, this invention being ascribed to. the
monk Gerbert, who became Pope in 999,
under the name Of Sylvester II. These
clocks we're cumbrous machines; and is was
not till the fourteenth century that we hear
of portable clocks. In the succeeding centu.
ry, they were much more common, and
were part of the necessary furniture of
better class house They were hung to the
walls, and their movements regulated by
weights and lines, like the cheap kitchen
clocks of the present day. The invention
of the spiral spring as the motive power, in
place Of the weight and line, gave about
the middle of the fifteenth century, the first
great improvement, which now went on
rapidly, and resulted in the invention of the
watch-a time mcasurer that might be car
ried about the person.
