Minister Washbnrn 10 the German Amcr-
INNS


New DIRK, Oct. 2S.-ReprcScntatvcs of the
two German American associations to-day pre-
scented Hon. Elihu b. Washburn an address *
prcssiye Of grateful recognition Of his kindness
toward German residents of Paris during the
horrors of the siege, in not only carrying out
the liberal instructions of his government, but
in the voluntary sacrifice Of his own personal
comforts, and giving Checrlully from his own
stores to needy and starving Germans.
Minister Washburn, in reply, says the credit
for his acts is due to the administration of Pres
idcnt Grant, under whose specific direction he
complied with the request of the German gov
eminent to assume the protection of Germans
in France. He felt that he correctly interpreted
the feelings of the government and peopeOf the
United States when he followed the inclinations
was able to send thirty thousand Germans out
of Paris before the gates of the city were finally
closed, it was because of the unboundCd libcr
atty of the German government, which fur
nished means; and the French government gave
him every support.
If he was able, during the last terrible DAYS of
the siege, to secure protection and furnish means
of support TO three thousand Germans who
tiocked to our legation, it was because the gov
Grnment of national deflnce 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 government; and perhaps, says
WaShburn, nothing could better eXemplfy the
power of our country and the respect paid our
