SPEECH OF MR. COLFAX On Saturday evening after the adjourn ment of Congress Speaker Colfax, among others, was serenaded, at the conclusion of which he delivered the followingaddress:— Fellow Citizens:—There are two kinds of. serenades in Washington; the first, when members arrive, to enter on the discharge of 'their duty, and the last when, afte - r - tTie - Close - Of their labors, they are about to return to their homes.

The President vetoed them on the explicit ground that whey made the mil itary commanders supremo and absolute o ver the people of the lato_re_b_eilio_u_s Skates p. Congress accepted his construction of them, and repassed them over his veto. They were cordially endorsed by the loyal people of the North, and Acquiesced in more readi ly than had een supposed by the people of the South. Soon .it became apparent that under them loyalty would tziumph in most of the Southern States, and then the Presi dent vetoed his own veto, and promulgated a decision of his Attorney General that, under '". these laws, the military commanders were mere policemen, subordinate to the Provi• Governments - over wbia—tbey—h-a-d been placed; the army but a posse cowm to enforce. the decrees of the Rebel Govern ors and Mayors, and that every Rebel was to be his own register: The people, surpri : se, a M‘s - d - e - cisions -- , appealed to the Con- gress in which they placed such deserved -confidencerto reassemble, and from Maine to California they came hither to resume their lecrislative autherit and to so declare the - . meaning of their ,legis ation t tat no era sophistries of any Attorney general could mystify it. Vetoed again, they repassed it -by-a-vote-of-four 0-one,-mod—it,has-gone-on the-statue-book-as one-of -the-laws, which the-i President, by his constitutional oath, must "take care to have faithfully executed '— Some, I know, condemn Congress for having done too much in its past legislation, and some for having done too little, but I think it has struck the golden mean—firm and yet prudent, courageous without undue excite ment, inflexible and yet wise. The Presi dent, in his last veto, denounces thii "mili tary despotism" as he calls it, and declares that Congress has subjected the South to a tyranny most intolerable. - We have heard these charges of military despotiem before during the war from the party which so terly opposed his election three years ago. Every Or tending- t o strengthen the Government, such as the sus pension of the habeas corpus, trials by court martial, &c., was denounced as a military de spotism. But the people rendered their ver dict, and it cannot be reversed. Instead of tyranny, the key note of the Congressional policy is protection to all, and the vindication and triumph of loyalty, and, God keeping us, we shall stand by it until it is crowned with triumph. [Applause.] I will use no word of disrespect toward the President, for, although differing with him in polioy as wide as the poles, I respect the office which he fills, and prefer argument to invective.— When I listened yesterday to Mr. 'McPher son, the Clerk of the House, as he read the bold and defiant rneisage of the President, I could not but feel that, in the whole of it, he arraigned himself far more than the Con gress which he addressed. All pat ties agree that he spoke correctly in his North Caroli• nu proclamation of :slay, 1865, he declared that all the civil governments of the South had been destroyed by the rebellion. Ire then, without calling Congress together, went nn with the wirk of reconstruction, in the absence of all law upon the schject.-- Has Congress made State Governments r-uh• ordinate to military power? So did the President. Ilas Congress provided for the creliing of State ConventiOns? So did the President. Ilas Congress authorized their ratification? So did the President. But he ordered Conventions by his Executive fiat and recognized their Constitutions without their being submitted to the people. Con gress reluired the people—the registered voters—to call the Convention, themselves and then to approve or reject their work by popular vote. [Applause.] Ilas Congress required the ratification of the Constitutional Amendmeot? So did the President Has Congress established a test oath? So did the President. Our crime is, I suppose, that we provided that those whom the nation had made free should have the .freeman's ballot for their protection, while the President did not. But the res u lts o f his policy strikingly contrast with the results of ours. The nation looked on to see what fruits would result from his action, and hat were they? . In nearly every State the Reb el power resumed its authority, and became dominant in their executive, legislative and judicial departments. The vagrant and la• .bor laws, virtually re-enslaving the emanci pated, followed, and murders, outrages, ota and massacres crowned the whole. Loy al men were under foot. and the revivified spirit of rebellion was triumphant, With our duty to our country and on our oath, we could not affirm and legalize this policy, and hence the legislative .action we have since taken. Approved in the past as we have bean, I cannot doubt even a more triumphant endorsement hereafter. [t.. plJuse.] The President appeals to the ballot box, and so do we, and by its decision vre are wil ling to stand or fall. In 1862, in the dark est hour of the war, amid disaster and roc verse, the ballot box- sustained us, and re turned a Republican m ijority in Congre,— ...

It was written at the time and on the spot where Jesus Christ commenced• his ministry, by I'ublius Lentullus, the Governor of Judea, to the Senate of .Lome—Cttsar, Emperor. It was the custom in those days for the Governor to write home any event of importance which transpired while he hold office: Conscript Fathers.—There appeared in these days a man named Jesus Christ, ,who is yet living among us, and-of the Gentiles is accepted as a prophet of great truth; but His own deseiples call Him the Son of • God.

The real mur derer of White died many years ago, and on his death-bed confessed that he had testi fied falsely against Manasseh to save his own neck, but for some reason Manasseh's petition has always beforo been rejected, and only now, when an old, broken down man, is he permitted again to enter the world.

A recent author tells of a Virginian tray elinc, in Arkansas, who, on testing the whis ky of his hosti-fnund it rather raw and un palatable, and mixed it in the shape of a rn:nt julep, which was a novel idea to the Arkan elan. The latter, however, was delighted with•the new style of drink; indulged in it quite liberally, and learned the moth,ni of concocting it. The mornful result is told thus: The Virginian continued on his journey toward Texas, and in the due course of time' set out to return, On_arriving at the house before mentioned, ha concluded that be would call and renew his acquaintance with his friendly host. Accordingly, ho rode up to the gate, and seeing one of the boys of the family standing near, aqked him: 'flow is the old gentleman, your fatbet, my son?' , The boy, with an air of the utmost indif ference, replied: 'Why, the old man's dead. stranger.' 'ls it possible.? flow long since?' 'About two weeks, stranger.' 'Ah inched! Pray what was the matter with the poor old gentleman, my son?' 'Waal. now, stranger,, I'll-tell you what it war. Thar wer an old feller from Virginny, he com'd along this way last summer, and he jist up and learns the old man to drink greens in his licker. and you can bet your life on it, it knocked him higher-- nor a kite.' Upon the Virginian's suggestion to the boy that it might have been possible the bad quality of whisky exercised a more Meter', ous influence upon his father's health than, the mint, replied: 'No, stranger, it war not the whisky, for we've altars used liker in our family, and though it made old mom powerful weak, yet it never phazed old pop ary time no, as sure as, yer born, it air the greens.' • -440 O. It a surprising fact that sweet corn is not abundantly grown among farmers. Every farmer thinks he must raise .five or ten acres of Indian corn every year, in order to have something to fatten his pork, and to furnish fodder for his stock, etc. Now, if every far mer would grow three or five acres of sweet ebrn,his crop would prove of much more val ue in proportion to the number of acres than Indian corn for feeding purposes. Last spring I planted Rix acres of sweet corn, for the purpose of taking it into market green. But after the market became 'glutted,' I con eluded to save the balance. 6f my corn, and cure it to feed. f cut and fed .to my hogs oorn (in the stalks) every day, and they would eat stalks and all as clean as they would green clover. Through the month of October and until the last of November, I fed husked corn I can say I never• killed so fat pork before. They seemed to be completely filled up with lard. 1 prefer the sweet corn stalks to any thing else in the shape of fodder for stock, and especially for cows giving milk there is nothing crinal to it. The sioeles, busks and leaves, are much more juicy and sweeter than any other corn fodder. I would recommend those that sow corn for fodder, to sow the sweet corn in preference to any other.

A Stump Story About forty years ago, there lived in Penn sylvania two farmers named Wood• and °Os borne, respectively. They were near neigh hors hut. inveterate enemies, and it is said they lived almost within-sight--of each other. for fourteen years without speaking to each other. Wood one day went out with a mat tock to dig up a half a dozen stumps that had never yet been remove?. from his mead ow,•but finding it pretty hard work, and, moreover, not being very fond of work, he gave it up and returned to the house, on the way it occurred to him that by a cunning de vice he might induce his ualriendly neigh bor to uproot the little annoyances. Act in_ on a bright idea that occured to him, he entered his house, got his writing materta s, and in a disguised hand wrote: MR. WOOD;—.I. am an old man, fast ap proaching my end, I 'cannot go to my grave without revealing to you a secret. When I was a young mar. I helped to rob yourgrand father of a large amount of money.

[From the Rural New Yorker] Boys and girls, we have often thought do not realize half so much enjoyment from their sports as they might if they would on ly keep cool. They are violent, noisy and excited; and thus they damage the pleasures of the hour. Boys yell, ana girls 'squeal,' in their games, and all talk at once, so that it is almost impossible to-hear what any one says, to say nothing of the bad feeling which such conduct creates. If young gentlemen and young ladies would respect each other's right's there would be no occasion for dis putes. Wo have often been amused to see a squad of boys at marbles, for instance; nearly every oint and movement is the occasion for a controversy. arp worse an. .tsagreea• e epithets following, and a fight seems to be imminent..
