WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-About two
hundred Lutheran Ministers paid their
respects to President Grant this morn
ing. They were received in the East
room. The President, or entering. wss
greeted with applause. Rev. DR.. PsIhsm,
of New York, addressed him as follows /:
Ii is not usual for Ecciesiastic bodies,
holding their services at the Capital OF
the Nation, to desire to pay their res
poets to the Chief Magistrate, but the
custom Of boring him with long speeches
IS, in my opinion, more honored in the
breach than in the sbservauce. I shall,
therefore, content myself with merely
i~ntr0duciDg these msmbers Of the Gen.
ersl Synod, AID then follow the example
Of the illnstrious Chief who said "let Us
have pesce," and so 1 shall say "let Us
have peace,n You see before you the
representatives, Of the Grand Synod OF
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
the United States. They are the
representatives, Of twenty-five Syn
Od4, and from various parts OF the
Union, they are not, however,
representatives OF the whole body o
Luthsrans in the country, there sre
large bodies OF Lutherans in ths South
yet u1reeOnstructed, and others in the
far West, not yet A~mericAnizsd, and
there are souae in the Middle States, who
unfortunately ara not with Us today, but
slI ere trus and loyal men. 1 trust the
day will come. when the entire Lutheran
Church vii! be one in the spirit and In
the bond of peace. 1 wish, sir, I could
relieve you from the labor OF shskiDg
HANDS, and DO it by proxy. II you would
give me a hearty shake Of the hand and
I then we're TO shRke hands with all my
brethren here, perhaps they would be
satisfied" To this there wss a general
response Of "no, no., we want to shake
hands with him."
The President then said to DIR.
Pulhsm, Gen. Eaten and DIR. Butler
tbst ne would shake hands with them
individually. And they all then sp-
preached, ard after being introduced,
shook hands. Toe President, when the
ceremony was over, entered into q con-
versstion for q few minutes with the
few who remained.
Inc President has appointed A. W.
Suetf, Receiver Of Public Moneys at
