BRICK PoMERoY.-A different looking man is the notorious Brick Pomeroy of the La Crosse Democrat who has established a branch office here in New York and is boarding at the Astor House. Pomeroy is the last mah any one would pick out as the author of the blasphemous and scurrilous paragraphs, which have made his paper so widely known and so popular among demo- crats. He is slenderly built young looking man, with smooth skin open countenance gray eyes, high forehead, hair thin and ap- preaching badness, pleasant smile and altogether gentlemanly appearing man in looks and department. At dinner, yester- day Windham County Republican sat be- side him, who when told him afterward that his neighbor at the table was Brick Pomeroy seemed thunderstrnck and and could hardly believe it. Pom eroy boasts that he has made $2OO, ,OOO the past year from his paper and of course he thinks that style of journalism pays. So long as the Democracy want that sort of talk and are willing to pay for it, he is ready to furnish it, and, for the rest, suppose he thinks with our Barnum that ''notoriety is just as good as fame.

A LIE NAILED.-The democratic journals have been extensively circulating the fol- lowing:
 GRANT IN 1961.-I am democrat; every man in my regiment is democrat, and when I shall be convinced that this war has for its object any other than what I have mentioned, or the government design its soldiers to execute the purposes of the abolitionists, I pledge you my honor as soldier that will carry my sword on the other side, and cast my lot with that peo- pie.
 Colonel .. s. Grant iu 1861,
 A few days since MT. Henderson, of The Alleganys (Mich.) Journal, addressed note of inquiry to the Hon. B. B. Washburne, and received from him the following res ponse:
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE.
 WASHINGTON, D. O.. June 10 1868.
 DEAR SIR: It is idle for the loyal men of the country to attempt to deny the rebel and copperhead lies now being put in cir culation against General Grant. No soon- CT would one lie be exploded than another would be put in circulation. No more sil- ly and ridiculous fabrication has been put forth than the pretended speech of General Grant to his regiment in 1861, which have seen paraded in some of the most d1sreput- able copperhead newspapers The whole thing is false, there not being the 'sshadow of shade" of foundation for it. Yours truly, B, B. WAsHBURNE,

gress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with its exercise, is fragrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and If sanctioned by the people will subvert our form of Govern
 ment, and can only end in a single central lzed and consolidated government in which the seperate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified des- potism be established in place of Federal Union of coequal States.
 And that we regard the Reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such. as usurpatlons and unconstitutional, revolu- tlonary and void.
 That our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against most gallant and determined foe must ev CT be gratefully remembered and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution Cheers.
 That the public lands should be distrib- uted as widely as possible among the peo- pie, and should be disposed of under the pre-emption of homestead lands, or sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but ac- tual occupants, at the minimum price es- tablshed by the Government When grants of the public lands may be allowed, necessary for the encouragement of impOr- tant public improvements. the proceeds of the sales of such land, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied. (Cheers.)
 That the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson-(applause)-in exercis- ing the power of his high office in resist Ing the aggressions of Congress upon the constitutional rights of the States and the People, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, and in behalf of the Democratic party we tender him our thanks in that regard. Great applause
 Upon this Platform the Democratic par ty appeal to every patriot, including all the conservative element and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion. to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the peo- ple-(cheers) and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fel- lowship, and hail all such cooperating with us as friends and brethren. Loud cheering.

The consistent harmony of the demo- cratic party on negro suffrage and negro office-holding, is thus shown up by Gov ernor Joseph D. Brown of Georgia. in an address issued by the executive committee of the Georgia Grant Club. But this question, it says, "has ceased any longer to be one of practical importance, since 6oth parties nominated and elected negroes to oDice in Meig late canuass. The republican party elected several to the legislature, and the so-called democratic party regularly nominated two negroes in Houston county, for its candidates, one for tax collector and the other for receiver of tax returns. The former was elected; and the tax collector of Houston coun- ties in the State, is a negro, elected as the regula' nominee of the demaeratic party. In this state of the case, as Doth parties are committed to the policy of allowing negroes to hold office, we see no further cause of division on that point''

The National Republican Committed propose, 1t IS said, to have the Northern States canvassed by some of the more prominent Southern friends of reconstruc- ton. Among others, it is expected that Gen. Longstreet will take part in the pend ding canvass. Ex- Gov. Jo. Brown, J. Il.
 Caldwell and Col. Farrow of Georgia, Sen ator Alcorn of Mississippi, Gov. Holden and Gen. Barringer of North Carolina, Gov Smith of Alabama, and number of others are named. Most of these were in the re- bellion in some shape, and all have been most active in working for reconstruction.

The Catholic Archbishops of Baltimore, Cincinnati, New York, and St Louis, have protested against the Pope's American brigade or battalion, which has been so mnch talked about. They say they did nor originate such an idea; also, that the gentleman to be the Lieutenant Colonel of the force is one who does not enjoy their confidence; and as for the editors of the catholic journals who have endorsed his claims, they have not the archiepiscopal confidence either. So the regiment ''will never march, as Corporal Trim would say. But if those who love the the Pope, and desire to help him, will give money, that will be welcome. Dollars are the true slnews of war; and it is not quite a matter of certainty that crowd of American vol unteers would be as amenable in Italy as the Dutch Generalissimo of the Roman ar my would consider orderly and fitting.

THE BREAK IN THE CONNECTrnr1r
 DELEGATION
The Hartford Post gives the following re- port of the row in the Connecticut deleoa- tion on Wednesday,. pending the tenth ho11ot. -....
THE CONNECTICUT OUTBREAK

1 THE CONNECTICUT OUTBREAK az have already sent you by telegraph A
 report of the Connecticut outbreak. It
 may seem wicked in me, but I must con.

 had been growing so long, and there was
 so much uneasiness suspicion and jealousy
 among the delegates, that it seemed to me to be really relief to have it come out SO

 scaft. 1t has been known from the begin
 hihg that the delegation was not harmoni- ous' aitnough they seemed to be Gas good as Ple to each other. There was a divis-
 loH among them, not upon the question of
 Pusnlng English; for in that, all ostensiblv
 agreed-but in the manner of do;na <
 Messrs Eaton, Stark, Doolittle and Hovt
 cialmed to be as good friends as MT. Enc.

 occurred for bringing him out They sav
 5haG fendleton's friends promised distinct ly that II Connecticut would vote for Pens oieton at first, they would, whenever Pen. uleton s chances became hopeless. transfer thelr strength to English. And they sav if
 would have been good policy to have com fphed With their suggestion, because there
 was not, nor has there ever been, any earthly
 possibility of Pendleton's nomination and 1t was intimated that the Pendleton men would have come over to English.
 This IS their story. Others of the deleoa- ton swore they would not vote for Pendle- ton under any circumstances, and charge that the whole arrangement was with a view of nominating the Ohio candidate and slaughtering English. Eaton, Stark and Doolittie kept at work upon the dele gat1on, especially upon Buckley, of Fair field county, and Baldwin, who acted as substitute for Warner, of Litchfield conn ty, these being the only weak. kneed ones Tn the crowd. At length, on the 10th bal lot, before the rest of the delegation had been consulted, as they assert, Eaton as- tonlshed them and the convention by giy- ing the vote of the state as equally divided between Pendleton and English. Judge Hovey at once interrupted, and stated that he did not so understand the vote Then Kendrick rushed in, and for few minutes there was a lively time, the Connecticut delegation having for the first time produ- ced sensation. The particulars i gave you very fully by telegraph. A little while afterward the Hendricks half of the dele gatlon went over to Hancock, and have stuck there ever since.
