SPEAKER CoLFAx.-Washington, November
22.-The speech of ex-Speaker Colfax here,
requiring new tests from the South, does not
meet with President Johnson's approval. The

THE OITY.

NRENEIBER THE PooR.-Numer0us and pressing
applications arc being constantly made to the " Re-
lief Committee" of this city, by worthy person,
who reside outside the city -hbaitS. The committee
can assist only to limited extent this class of sui
ferers the funds at their disposal being insufficient
even for the poor of the city proper. IT'S painfu
task to refuse any of these applicants but there is
no alternative. Even the rich plead, that i is diff
cult to live these hard times, and some thus excuse
themselves from contributing to the necessities Of
Others 1t is easy to deceive ourselves but we can
not deceive that Lord, who, at his coming, will d,
mand an account of His stewards. Again, many
really good and kind hearted persons orgetthe poor
from avoiding contact with them.
Could such be compelled daily to look upon the
care-wOrn faces Of women, the wan and hungry looks
of little children, upon their insufficient, tatteFed
clothing upon their c0niortiess homes aud Ireless
hearths, they could not enjoy their own comfortable
homes, nor honestly and without certain fears and
selEaccusations, ask Our Father who art in
Heaven" for their "dsily bread" Let rs chow our
thankfulpess to Him by assisting His for these are
Gods poor. Let us not risk the judgments OF God
by neglecting our plain duty. Our own bread will
be all the sweeter our homes all the comfort
able ii will thus ''bear snother's burdens,
Let those in the country remember, in the plen'-
tude OF their comfortable homes that there are
many living on the suburbs of Richmond, the moth
ers, ~izes and daughters of noble soldiers, who
are refugees from their comfortable howes, and who
are often without wood OF food.
Let those who can contribute to this object, open
their hearts, and send in funds food fuel and clotl
ing, which placed in the hands Of the Relief Com
mittee 'for the poor oWside-ne city limits, will be
faithfully and judiciously distributed.
We also call attention to the '.appeal of the Re-
lief Committee

CAUGHT GOING roruE ESExr.-Jsmes Gillinws.
ter and William Ferries, Co. f., 4th Va. Battalion,
Charles Paycheng, LIST Co. Washington Artillery,
and VIM. Kenny, @. s. N, were yesterday caught
on the Williamsburg road, attempting TO make
their way to the enemy's lines. The party were
being piloted by one Samuel e. Bradley, we'll
known and most cxcentric citizen Of Henrco, who
for years has been living Seven Pines. Sam.
owned up that he was taking the party to'the Yam
KEGS, and said he had been driven into this dsrepu.
table line of business by the hard times. Though
excentrc to that degree that he is generally con-
sidered half cracked, Bradley has always been re-
garded as perfectly honest man, and an enemy to
no one but himself. Thirty years ago he was man
of fortune and fine prospects. His substance he
wasted in blooded horses fancy cattle and building
and for fifteen years has subsisted, it was hard to
tell how. Since the war, and for some time before,
he has lived in hut on u sterile patch OF ground
near Seven Pines, and clad in rags Of many colors
has seemed to spend the greater part Of Ills time
tramPing TO and from the city.
