The Representatives of two German
American associations to-day presented
Hon. Elihu Washburne an address express
sive Of the grateful recognition of his
kindness towards the German residents Of
Paris during the horrors of the siege, in
not only carrying out the literal instruc-
tons Of his government, but in voluntary
sacrifice Of his own personal comforts and
giving cheprfully from his own stores to
needy anil starving Germans. Minister
Washburne in reply says the credit for his
acts is due to the administration Of Pres
ident Grant, under whose specific
direction he complied with the request of
the German government to assume the
protection of Germans in France. He felt
that he correctly interpreted the feelings
of the government and people of
the United States when he followed
inclinations of his own heart in
doing what he did. If he is able to
tsend 10000 Germans out of Paris before
the gates of the city finally closed; it was
he unbounded hberality of the German
government furnished the means and the
French government gave him every support
possible during the last terrible days of the

of support TO the 10000 Germans who
flocked to our legation, it was because the
government of National defence caused his
position to be respected; and if he was able
after the siege to continue that protection
it was because he had the support of the
French Republic and the illustrious man NJ.
Theirs who is at the head of the govern
ment, and perhaps, says Washburne, moth
ing could better exemplify the power of our
country and the respect paid our flag than
that the Commune of Paris, In its career of
crime and blood, released on my demand
more than a hundred Germans who had
been thrown into prison guiltless of any
crime and subjected to frightful persecu-
tons.

LITTLE ROCK Oct. rs There are a great
many complaints about registration in the
State. The Governor claims it is more lib
eral than the law allows, while the oppo-
nents of his administration contend that it
is more rigid than the law requires. The

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Serious dissen- |
sions have broken ont in the Administra- |
ton organization in this city, owing to the |
arbitrary sway exercised by the Custom |
house clique in the nominar on of local can |
didates. Nearly threefourths of the NOM
nations for Congress, State and city of |
fees have been conferred on United States |
officials holding minor positions in the GUS
tomhouse and internal revenue service. |
Many Republicans are tired of this monop-
oly. 1t is probable tbs discussions will ter

Citations before the election. Since the
wrangling began it has leaked out that the
Administration managers have made
compact with O'Brien to give him $4,000
as soon as he should have raised ten politi-
ical banners, and that when this number
had been raised the sum agreed upon was
refused, and only $4,000 was offered to

than 500 majority. His antagonist (Shoe-
maker) claims to be elected in the district
by TAO majority. At the trial of certain of
these Shoemaker Republicans for fraud in
Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, the first wit
ness was one Patrick Cochran, judge of
election st Scranton, who, in a lengthy
statement, deposed that while at
