The Farewell Address of President
Johnson.


We regret our inability, FOR want Of space,
to place before our readers the Farewell Ad-
dress of President johnson"
The National BltelIigenoeT says:
1.-THE friends of Andrew johnson, however
conscious of his constantly augmenting ability,
were not prepared for summing up paper
from him, which, in calmneSs Of treatment,
clearness and comprehensiveness Of statement,
yigor and force Of expression, boldneSs and
truthfulness Of utterance, and eloquence and
logic of augmentation, gives to its author a
most exalted position in the arena Of forensic
effort.
Not to refer to bis general arraignment Of
the wrongs and usurpations of the party Of
Congress, and his argument upon the points
involved, we must content ourselves, at the
late hour at which the document in question
reaches US. to call especial attention to the
portion which generalzes, in terse and compre-
hensive phraseology, all and singular of the
political crimes Of bis anniversaries. The i'm
parchment of Warren Hastings by the gifted
Sheridan, if more gorgeous aud eloquent, was
not more direct and truthful The summing
up of the sins, wrongs, and crimes Of the Crown
of England, as expressed in the Declaration Of
Independence, gives no more sense Of the
weight Of British wrongs than does the plain,
clear, terse, and feeling statement Of Mr.. john
son, concerning the outrages, expressions, ty-
rsnnies, and usurpations Of the per6dious snd
corrupt Congress"

Congress.


The House was not in session Monday, but
some business of interest was transacted in the
Senate. The various standing committees, al
ways interesting at the beginning of new
Senate, were elected. Several bills were intro
duced and referred. The bill TO give Mrs Lin
coin pension was, by vote Of 81 to %, re-
ferred to a committee on pensions. The bill
10 strike out the word white in the laws
relating to the District of Columbia was passed
The intent of this is to allow both whites and
blacks to hold Office. After two ballotings the
Rev. DR.. Newman was elected chaplain of the
Senate.
The message of Gen. Grant proposing to re-
peal the 9Th section of the act in relation to
the Treasury Department, so as to allow Mr.
A. T. Stewart, of New York, to fill the Office
Of Secretary Of the Treasury, was not called up.
