Gentlemen:—Thbere is in the Grecian Archi- pelago an island named Delos, which was con- secrated. in the olden time, to fraternal enjos- ment. At stated periods of each Year the peo- ple of the different nations thereabouts used to meet in peace at Delos, divest themselves of al! feusls or jealousies, and mingle harmoniously in gay and festive scenes. And so we, who work in the press harness here at the national metropolis, meet, semi-oc- castonalty around @social board, which ix our Delos.

Noyes. of Tae Evgntnc STAR, to propose the first regular toast complimentary to our especial guest. RENARES OF C. &. NOYES. Mr. Noyes said that in view of the numerous bald heads he saw about him, probably it had better be understood, before they went any further, that the seniority on the city press just alluded to that gave him the honor of offer- ing the opening toast was only his professional age, (laughter = longest continuous service. Butthough he had been for more than fifteen years connected with the paper with which he was now identified, there were others there who could date a connection with Wash- ington journalism further back. r. Noyes proceeded to speak of Messrz Poore, Gobright. and others present, who had been connected with Washington papers in the past, and said that if he was not mistaken their guest of the night was connected as a contrilt- Ung editor with the Washington press as tar back as 195—nearly thirty years ago—when his vigorous pen which even then hail attracted the attention of the country, was enlisted by the veteran Ritchie, for the Washmgton Union, together with writers of the ability or Andrew Stevenson and William Overton, of Virginia: Ovid Johrsen, of Pennsylvania, and Edmund Burke, of New Hampsbire. But it was of Mr. Forney’s career at the he of a Washington paper of his own that he was able to speak of his own knowledge.

REMARKS OF MR. L. A. GOURIGHT. ‘The chair then called upon Mr. Gobright, of the Associated Press, ng ov ae the next regu- lartoast. Mr. Gobright said: Gentlemen:—The glory of a tree people is the possession of a government founded upon jus- tice. Itis their duty at all times to defend it against ageaults from without and the causes ot ruin within, Education is an essentfal princi plewith the view to the elevation of morals.

We have heard irom the press; it is but just that we should now hear from Congress—trom one who is a native and & resident of a part of the country the peo: ple of which have long been familiar with the subjects of constitutions for the purpose of ge- curing religious and political freedom. {Ap- lause.} Itherefore, in the name of the socie- y, and at the command of our president, re- spectiully call upon the Hon.
