WASHINGTON.
Luthern Ministers Pay Respects 10
the PreSideFt-AddFess or Rev.
DR.. Pelhana-0illciaI Appointments

WASHINGTON, May 15.-About one
hundred Lutheran Ministers paid
their respects TO President Grant, this
morning. They were received in the
east ROOM The President, on enter
ing, was greeted with applause, when
Rev. DR.. Z alham, of New York, ad-
dressed him as follows:
1t is not unusual for ecclesiastic
bodies, holding their sessions at the
Capital Of the nation, to pay their re-
spects to the honored Chief Magis-
trate, but the custom Of boring him
| with long speeches is in my opinion
more hOnOred in the breach than the
observance. shall therefore content
myself with merely introducing these
members Of the General Synod, and
then follow the example OF the illus
trious Chief, who said, Let us have
peace and so | shall say, Let us
have peace.
You see before you the representa-
! tives of the General Synod of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in the
| United States. They are the repre-
sentatives of twenty-five Synods, and
| from various parts of the Union.
| They are not, however, representa-
tives of the whole body of Lutherans
in the country. There are large
bodies of Lutherans in the South yet
unIeconstructed. Others IN the far
| West are not Americanized, and
| there are some in the Middle States,
| who, unfortunately, are not with us
to-day, but all true and loyal men. L
trust the day will come when the en-
tire Lutheran Church will be in the
unity of the spirit and bonds of
peace. / wish, sir, | could relieve
you from the labor of shaking hands,
and do it by proxy, and if you would
give me hearty shake of the hand,
and | then shake hands with all my
brethren, perhaps they would be sat
isfed to this"
There was a general response Of
mo-" mo-" we want to shake
hands with him."
The President then said to DIR.
Pelham. General Eaken and Rev. DIR.
Butler that he would shake HANDS
with them individually.
The Ministers then separately ap.
Droached the President and were in.
troduced and shaken by the hand
The President, when the ceremony
was over, entered into conversation
for a few minutes with the few whC
remained.
The following appointments have
been made by the President: w. ID

A EnIon stoek Yard Ia st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. May 16.-A meeting
largely attended by cattle dealers aud
business men generally, was held at
the Southern Hotel last night to con-
slider measures for the establishment
of Union Stock Yard 10 this city.
Several speeches were made giving
much information in regard to the
stock :rade, showing that st. Louis
lies on the most direct route between
the great stock producing sections of
this country and its chief market
and that all it requires to control this
business is TO furnish the proper facil-
tics fer its transactions.
It was decided, however, that moth
ing could be done without the CO.
operation Of the railroad companies
whose roads centre here, and a COM
mittee was appointed to ascertain
what arrangements could be made
with them for carrying out this object,
and rtport at an adjourned meeting
: next Saturday night. A very strong
interest was manifested in this move
ment, and if proper arrangements can
be made with the railroad companies,
there will be no trouble In raising the
necessary money to establish the
stock yard.

marble statue, at Richmond, Va, was

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, May 15.-Emperor Fran
els Joseph, in closing the sessions of
Reichsroth yesterday, made long
and pleasant speech. He recalled
the situation of Austria in 1866, COM
pared that with the present condition
of things, aud traced the course of the
legislation of the Reichsroth since
that time. He was rejoiced at the
friendly arrangements made with
Hungary, and the condition of the
finances and the army, and felt that t
peace was indispensable to national
prosperity, and the present relations
of Austria with the other powers of
the world assured him of its continu-
ance. He reviewed the late reforms
enacted by the Reichsroth, aud hoped
they would become the basis of har-
monious and pacific relations between
the Church and State. In concluding,
he thanked all the members for their
past exertions, and expressed the
hope that all would support the Con-
stitution, as Austria offered full
liberty to the people of every nation
and guaranteed their right of self
government. The Emperor was often
interrupted by loud cheering.
