Representatives of two German American
associations to day presented Hon. Elihn r
Washburne an address expressive of the
gratlted recognition of his Kindness toward
German a residents IN Paris during the hor-
rors OF the siege, not only in carrvipo nu p
the liberal instructions of his government.
puV III the voluntary sacrifice of his own
personal comforts giving CheerfIllv from
his own stores to the needy, starving Gca.-
mans.
Minister Washburne, in reply, saws thIq
credit tor his acts is due to the adrninistro-
ton OF President Grant, under whose epe.
ciic directions he complied with the re
quest of the German government to assuma
the protection of the Germans in France
He felt that he correctly interpreted the
feelings OF the government and the people
of the United States when he fol
lowed the inclinations of his own hear5
in doing what he did. If he was able
to send 10000 Germans out of Par&n
before the gates of the city were finally
closed. 1t was because the unb0unded lib
erallty of the German government fur
ulshed means, and che French government
gave him every support. If he was able
curing the last terrible days of the siege to-
secure protection and furnish means Of
support to 3000 Germans who focked to our
legation, 1t was because the government Of
national defense caused his position to be
reached, and if he was able after the siege to
continue that protection it was because heo
had the support of the French republic
and that 1llustriOus man, M. Theirs, who ias
at the head of the government. And. per
haps, says Mr.. Washburne, nothing coulgl
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 bloOdshedS on nay demand released
more than hundred Germans who hap
been thrown into prison guiltless of any
crime and subjected to frightful persecu-
tiOns."
A letter from St. Johns says the potato
