WHEELER A Co. MR, PRESIDENT, HONORABLE MEM­ BERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:-- Blackguardism Is abusive language, and is prompted by a mean spirit .But I wanted a word to define the language with the absencc of the mean spirit, so with you permission, I will say friendly blackguardism. In this essay I have applied the term to a style of talk which is common among men. It is an hourly occurrence for two or mere men to meet and engage in con­ versation which would be considered scurrilous and abusive were it not for the tacit understanding that it was in good humor. One who has had a little experience will talk thus with the countenance, gesture and' general ap­ pearance which he would use if he was serious; and to a stranger he would seem to be serious. They meet, say those hard things to each other and separate; Neither has gained any­ thing because the words were meaning­ less. Perhaps neither received injury. They did no good consequently (on the basis tjhat every action is either right or wrong), they worked harm. Friend­ ly backbiting is wrong. j There are instincts in our composi - , j tion which are irresistable; and the ] instinct of dislike is one of them. Al­ though the habitual use of such per­ nicious expressions may not prevent association with acquaintances, still it raises a really insuperable barrier be-< tween the real frieudly feeliugs of the conversors; and as long as this style of couverse is followed, the person may form no new friends. Use reason as you will, your instinct will hold your confidence and friendly sympathy from the person who expresses things to you which he does not mean. Your instinct prevents you from claiming as u friend one who lies to you, or one who black' guards in a friendly manner, habit­ ually. Friends never lie to eaeh other ijor say things which they do not mean. Intimate acquaintances often times do, but friends, tried and true never, and tn thin age when the number of loyal friend i&so sadly disproportioned to the number of associates, and whou should use every honorable means 60 ac­ quire them and denounce anything that obstructs the perfection of friendship; consequently we should discontinue such meaningless .talk as friendly blackguardism. It is detrimental when «sed in conversation- with associates and worse when used. in conversation with old friends. I believe it isdanger- ous to the perpetuity of old friendship, and I believe it is thus; if the habit is indulged in It is extended until the speaker makes his remarks as cutt ing and withering as loose decency will permit and as far as he dares, knowing ii»s friend's disposition. Obviously he desires to say the worst personal things he may without arousing anger. J2e talks on and probably says no one thing «at which tlie other would bo angered yet the continuance of like expression will create a coolness, and the anpear anee of friendship will be maintained only because the eeeond person can ofler himself no definite reason for an­ nulling it; or no single,definite expres­ sion at which he could take offense.-- Sncli a habit brings its attribute. Iu attentiou, and at some unguarded moment the speaker says something which is excusable in ordinary con­ versation but in such as this i* highly offensive, he is striking the cord of friendship, in a careless moment he strikes a cutting blow <*nd the cord Is broken, or it is frayed and its breakage imminent. The intimate acquaintance may be retained, but in any event the true triend, to the friendly backbiter, is lost. Words mean but very tittle unless the speaker puts his owu feel­ ing in his own words when he utters them. To have the speech full of meaning the feeling with whicb the speech is uttered must be full of power. No one can seud a word among his fellows, have it effective and significant unless he sends it out with the influ­ ence of a good self-reputation, and that reputation must have been won by a considerate converse. One who talked without feeling soon gets a reputation for it and when he speaks his words fall on the ear of the listener as rain­ drops on the foliage , iu a few moments not a vestige is left. Or judge a man's calabre by evidence and afterwords give his words the signification which befits the calibre of his mind. The words of one man will be of puny power when sounded by him who thoughtlessly or inattentively speaks, while the same words from the mouth of another and with this other's spirit, might'excite a multitude or calm an ex­ cited multitude. lam not on an equal footing with my fellows, when, for any reason, a word from his mind and mouth carries a deeper meaning or makes a more lasting impression than mine.-- N CONUKSPONNTCWETE.' WASHINGTON, d. C.. Sept., 24th, 1877. Indian chiefs, whose visit to this wen foretold so long, are at ally en route.

The Presidential party in- several ladies aud all the Cabi- iiej|fhietubers excepting Schurz and Slifj&han and the trip is tlie last oue foitllhis year. The Cabinet Ministers all decided upon their locations for ibe winter save Postmaster Genera] Key, who will do so immediately upon hisCreturn to the Capitol. His family lever spent any time in Washing- tit will cotne with him from the The "old bach" of the Cabinet, [prney General Devans, has taken an elegant house quite near the British Miifi8ters4 and will keep bachelors hall, golhg into and entertaining society w all the dignity belonging to the more privileged state of matrimony. Evarts and Sherman are on K, Street, thi|$jtreet of fine and fashionable resi- detifces in Washington. Thompson* Se#«stary of the ?Tav.y, has leased one most famous aud now oue of the ugly, houses in the city. It is the ickles House, where Daniel Sickles with his handsome wife when he Key who also thought her hand- e. Colfax occupied it afterwards.

Asa symmetrical adver­ tisement they succeeded most admira­ bly but as a thing of beauty the house U a woeful failure. Next week wlll.be an eventful one here, will, in fact, be the beginning of events for the season. The President will get home but that will not be such an episode for us as will the arrival of the real, live, murdeous, red-handed sav­ ages. Somehow, civilized as we are, we sort a hanker for a sight of the hands that have wielded the tomahawk ayd torn scalps from the heads of oun brother whites. Verily, human nature is the-same the wide world over. We wouldn't murder as the ignoraut savage does. Oh no! but we are ready enough to lionize thym wlieu they come aniong us. We are all more or less like the child who called to his feliow, "Come Jess, there's something awfu) bad out in the bam let's go and see it." The newspapers of late have been full of contradictory reports concerning the manner of Crazy Horse's death.-- The Indian Agent, stationed at Camp Robinson, Nebraska, has written a full account of the matter to the Commis­ sion of Indian Afiairs here, so we have an anthent'lc record of it. Crazy Horse himself thought his fatal wound was caused by one of our soldiers bayonets, but the physician who examined it said it was a knife wound and was probably inflicted bX the chieftains owu bloody weapou, in the confusion of the affray. The dreadful man had killed4 thirty- four men and four ^">men,of the whites besides those he had in battle. Baee Ball is the principal amusement iu the District yet. Crowds ffo^k to the grounds daily to witness the play­ ing cf this National game. No led* than ten thousand people were there yesterday and intense interest was manifested as one stripped stocking "muffed a fly," another "hugged a foul bound," and auotber "made a dean home rnn." There are other amusements too, and we are getting quite up to the times in going back to the games of ancient days. A wrestling match came off this week and also a regular old time tourn­ ament. Twelve knights contested for four prizes, and the sport ended with a grand ball at which the winning rider crowned his Queen of Love ana Beauty, and the three next best their Maids of Honor. The successful rider was a brother of young McGruder who won the prize at the Centennial turna- meat. OLIVE. W. Owen's for THE PRKStDKNTg SOUTHK.RN TRIP. The journey of President Hayes through some of the Southern States has been one of uninterrupted ovations and greetings. From the time he en­ tered the Gate of the South, up to the present, he has met with only unbound­ ed cordiality and hearty goodwill.-- He has had showfered upon him all the hospitalities congenial to the generous Southerner, and honors for the high office he occupies have been liberally bestowed upon him. At Louisville he was feted all day, and the city donned holiday attire in his honor. At other places along his route he met with similar receptions. The speeches that have markt d his course are in excellent taste. They bespeak charity and fraternity, and evince a hearty desire on the part of both North and South to bury past differences Heyond resur­ rection. Private residences were throw: opeu for the President's levees. This in particul«r, we rejoice to note, for heretofore one of the most insurmount­ able barriers existing to a complete reconciliation of the two sections has been bitter, unrelenting social pre­ judices, With this barreir burned away conciliation will be more possible and much facilitated. President Hayes is doing much to cement anew the lately divided sections of our country in more enduring bonds. Whatever he accomplishes in this direction should be hailed with gratitude as, indeed, we believe it is. Whatever critics or croakers may say of this "junketing tour," alii good people unite In approv­ ing and Applauding it, t 3fi» JGrDuring the first year of the war says a Vermont paper, when change was scarce and some large, firms were issuing currency of their onjrn, a farmer went into a neighboring' town and bought some goods, and gave the mer­ chant a five dollar bill of which he wanted seventy-five coits back. The merchant counted it out and handed it over to the farmer, who looked at It a moment and iuquired : . 4,W hat's this?" "It's uty currency," tatft the mer­ chant. .! 1 "What,-Hain't good for notliin' where I live," #aid the farmer. . "Very well," replied the merchant, BLUNT BUT TKUK. There i« said to be a yom _ the Missouri penitentiary whose par­ ents at their death, left him a fortune of $50,000. There is where his parents made a fatul mistake. If they bad taken the precaution to invest tbft sum in a small dog, and shoot him, and then had simply left the young man % jackplane or a wood saw, with prist- ed instructions how to use it, the ch&a- ces are that, instead of* being in tfeo penitentiary, he would to-day H«V» been gradually but surely wotking hla way up to a handsome competency and an honorable old age. But ever si not the days of Adam and Eve, parent liavo made it a poiut to toil and struggle all their lives in order to realize a sufficient sum of money to purchase, when they arc dead and gone. their sons each a first class through ticket to the devtl, and it is not much to be wondered at that BO many of their sons, reared in vice and idleness, as too many of them of ten are, have no higher ambition than to invest their inheritance in juat thttl sort of transportation.--Ex.

Approaching om gentleman who had a whole seat to himself he asked. "Is this seat occu­ pied?" "Yes, it i«," impertinently re­ plied the other. "Well," replied the broad shouldered agriculturist, "I will keep this seat until the gentleman com*8." The original proprietor with­ drew himself haughtly to one end and looked insulted. After awhile the train got in motion, and still nobody came to claim the seat, whereupon tile deep chested agriculturist turned and said; "Sir. when you told me this seat was occupied you told me a lie" suoh was his language--"and I never Bit near a liar If I Oan avoid it; I would rather stand up." Then appealing to anothet party he said: "Sir, may I sit next to yon? You don't look like a liar." We need hardly say that he got his seat, and the original proprietor thought that there was some tiling wrong about •ur social system.--Baltimore Oaeettt 'iu A merican and English chatti* pion riflemen have again met in friond- and bring it to my atore, give you a dollar for it." The farmer pocketed the change and departed. A few weeks after he went into the same store and bought to tho amount of one dollar, and after paying over the iudentical seventy-five cents he took out a handful of pumpkin seeds counted out twenty-five of them and passed them over to the merchant. "Why," said the merchant, "what Is this?" "Wal," said the farther, "this is my currency; when you get a dollar's worth bring it to my place and I will glve you a dollar for it." 1®""Persons, mailing newspapers, magazines or periodicals of any kind should be careful to put on a sufficient amount of postage stamps to secure theirtransniission.as the regulations of the post office' department compel postmasters to throw all packages Where the amotmt of postage, is not sufficient, i nto the waste basket. All newspaper packages of two ounces o& less can be sent for 1 cent, and 1 eer.t for every additional 2 ounces or frac­ tional part thereof.

During the latter part of the war of the Rebellion, the confederate General Mosby was operating with his force iu the vicinity of. Washington, and there he had frequent encounters with the gallant Eighth Illinois cavalry. A' few days ago he received from General John F. -Farnsworth an invi­ tation to attend the annual reunion of that regiment in this city.
