Mr.. " Brick" Pomeroy has one good
quality-he is frank outspoken; he does
not conceal his sentiments, or likes and dis
likes. The other day. it is reported. he e1-
gagged hand-organ grinder to come daily
to his newspaper Office. and there play the
tune of DiXic's Land" The music de-
lighted the children. and the sauciness of
the act amused the general public, who
laughed at the odd conceit of rank rebel
causing this rebel air to be played on the
streets of New York. But yesterday
sonc way hired anpther hand organ man
to station himself near by. and play with
equal industry another well known air:

SHORT BUT SHARP SERMoN.-A re-.
ccHt letter Of the Rev. Newman Hall Of
England, to the New York Independent,
contains the follwing:
In saying II few words to rough look.
ing but attentive crowd, referred to IN in
cidcnt which occurred to a temperance
friend at meetinginear London. One of
the speakers had dwelt ON religious topics
at some length. During thirty years ad
vocacy, have. never heard any objections
raised to the intr duction Of religion at
temperance meetings. But on this occa-
sion free thinker who was present ~ rose
to order y; said he came to hear about
temperance; and that in his opinion. the
man who invented gas did more to enlight.
en- the world than all the parsons. Thi.
caused great row, in which the cry pre-
vailed of Turn min out !" NV friend
rose to demonstrate; entreated fair hear.
ing Tor the objection; and restored order.
Presently he was himself called up, and
and begin his speech thus:
''Mr. Ciiairinan:-I IN for free thought
and tree speech; and yonder gentleman
has right to speak and thiuk for himself
as much as have. Loud cheers from the.
friends Of the objector That gentleman
says he considers the man who invented
gas did more to enlighten the world than
all the parsons. Well if that ia his opin-
ion lie has right to hold it and to men
ton it. Bnt. whatever our different Opin-
ions. there is "A time coming to all OF us
which We call d"ath; when most men are
somewhat serious. snd like to get advice
aud comfort respecting the world they are
going to. Now, when thi, season comes to
our friend, | would recommend him to send
for the gas man" .Roars .of laughter and
a tu'nult Of clapping followed this sally.
which WAS better than sermon; demon
stra'ive without formal logic. and not like
ly to be forgotten. The impulent boys
OF the neighborhood where This occurred
still when at safe di,tace. ..shout to the
man round tn" corners Of streets. 3" Send

GEORGIA.

Ono Of the first questions which VIII come
,cfore Congress is, whether the Fourteenth
Amendment has ever been legally ratified by
She Legislature of Georgia, so as to convert
che government of that State from pro-
,j.jonal into permanent one, and TO entltle
nc CONSERVATIVES to seats in Congress The
amendment was passed by a body, large
number of whose members were disqualified
Ivy the very terms of the amendment itself
from sitting in any legislature; and having
passed il. these same disqualified members I'M
mcdiatcjy voted that thirty of those 10y whose
votes the amendment was passed had never
been lawful members of that body, and' py
reason of African blood, could hold no ONCE
whatever in the State of Georgia. ii Congress
respects the terms of the Fourteenth Anenu-
ment excluding periDred Rebels from holulne
office IT cannot allow itself to be bound 10y tiie
Votes of auv of this class. If it respects the
vote Of the Georgia Legislature to the erect
tlat colofed men cannot hold office in Georgia
then 70 cannot count the votes OF the colored
members for the amendment; and so the
amendment would be lost. The State OF Georgia
j. NOT yet in the Union, and its government Is
merely provisional. In such case, Congress
should sec that the State Constitution Is
amended so as to confer equal political rights
ON both races. Or if Congress holds that the
colonel members were mlawfully expelled, 1t
should sec that they are lawfully restored to
their seats before the State shall be readm''ed
lo it, share in the Government.

The Governor and other officers of Louisiana
composing'the Board to open the returns and de-
clare the result of their election" have thrown
out because of infOrmalities the entire vote of
twelve parishes, including that in which the
City of New Orleans itself is situated. Not
withstandiug this enormous reduction OF the
Rebel vote it still remains in the majority. The
Democratic Congressman are all elected ex-
copting in the lid District; and the vote for
Seymour is still Al 1853, while that for Grant is
only 27,0l1. Could Mt Gen. Rousseau send
another staff officer North, to confirm the ex-
celleut explanation of this result which the one
in Washington inadvertently gave the other
day We have it on his authority, that the
Republicans could not vote at this model
d" election" because, both in their own opinion
aud in that of the General Commanding, the
Rebels would make it unsafe for them to do so.

France has, ever since the establishment of
the North German Confederation been anxious
TO conclude treaties with Holland, Belgium, and
Switzerland, to prevent these States from drift
ing iuio dependency upon Prussia, and to
secure The gradual control Of their destnies for
France Several times the official papers of
France have announced the success Of the
French efforts in concluding these treaties but
every time the Governments Of the three cOun-
tries have promptly denied the truth of the
Fronch report. The last official contradiction
has just been given by the Ministers of the
Netherlands.
