THE Parkersburg Times noticing the
recent announcement that several thou
sand Frenchmen from the recently Ger
nanized provinces of Alsacc and Lor'
,siue were about to settle in Virginia, ex'
presses well founded disgust at the
stupid, Japanese policy OF exclusivenesi
that has characterized the authorities oI
this State up to the present time in re-
.pect TO immigration. The Times is caus'
tic on the Charleston Courier, for its pre-
tentious utterances on tho subject last
winter, and concludes as follows:
"Wheu We look back at tho history ol
this question in this State Tor the last
eight or nine years, we think that 1t is
shout time, for common decencys sake,
that the matter was at last dropped and
the word immigration finally stricken
from the catechism of our State policy,
Nobody in the State was ever IN true
earnest about it, except our adopted Citi.
,ens themselves, and we are prepared to
meet any contradiction of this statement
with an array OF facts that will forever
silence such tardy hypocritical professions
IS have lately gushed from the inkstand
Ofthe most sincere and constitutionally
inveterate foes the cause Of immigration
ever had in the State"

grateful recognition OF his kindness TO-.
ward the German residents Of Paris dur
Ing the horrors OF the siege, in not only
carrying out the liberal instructions OF
MS government, but in voluntarily sacri.
uclng ms own personal comforts and
giving cheerfully from his own stores to
the needy and starving Germans.
Ainister Washburne, in reply, says the
credit TOR his acts is due to the admins
tration of President Grant, under whose
specific direction he complied with the
request oi the German government to as.
sumo the protection Of the Germans in
France. He felt that he correctly inter.
pFeted the feelings Of the government
and the people of tue United States when
he followed the indications of his own
heart in doing what he did. II he was
able TO send thirty thousand Ger.
man people out OF Paris before
the gates Of the city we're finally closed,
1t was because ofthe unbOunded liberality
Of the Germ IN government, which fur.
ntshed the means,an the French govern.
ment gave him every support. II he was
able during the last terrible days of the
seige TO procure projection and furnish
means OF support to 5000 who flocked 10
our legation, 1t was because the Govern.
ment Of National Defence caused his posi-.
tton 10 berespected; and II he was able
alter the seige to continue that protection,
i was because he had the support Of the
French republic and that illustrious man,
N. Thiers, who Is at the head of the gov

burne, nothing could better exemplify the
power OF our country and the respect paid

leased on my demand more than 100 Ger.
mans, who had been thrown into prison
guiltless Of any crime, and subjected to
