Another Charge Unfsupdea

Mr. Sumner, in his late speech, reflected
very severely upon Mr.. Cramer. our Am,
Dassador at Copenhagen, chiefly because h,
is related to the President, charging hin,
with having been "guilty of indiscreeetnes ness
inconsistent. with his trust" As an answe,
to this charge we give the following from
copenhagen papers of late date, Saws
the Copenhagen Ddgblada
10 our utmost astonishment we find il,
the American papers charges of misconduct
ana lndlscretion against his excellepcv Mr.
Trainer, the Ambassador of the United
States to this kingdom. Mr.. Cramer ;s
charged In the American papers with gross
misconduct in office, with having naTtic; :
pated IN dlscredltable scenes at the Tivoli.
ana with having been ostracised in society
In consequence of his shortcomings.
After thorough investigation of the
charges preferredi in the above-named papers
against MIR. Cramer we herewith pronounce
them fictitious from first to last. There is
no member of the diplomatic corps in this
CITY who enjoys higher share Of general
esteem than the American Ambassador.
ana we SIMPLY give expression to the sem
tlments of those who have been brought
INTO contact with him in saving that there
IS III this capital of Denmark no gentleman
put csteems 1t an honor to hold intercourse
with MIR. Cramer.
Says the official Tidenade:
a scurrilous paper of this town. the
i'aach, has thought it was smart thing TO
attack the Hon. Mr.. Cramer, the United
States minister in this city, and has also
produced extracts from American papers.
IN which the honorable ambassador is
roundly abused. There is no foundation
whatever to the slanders against Mr., Cra-
mer, and as regards what the American
papers have published against him, it is
false from beginning to end.
IL would have been needless to take any
notice of these American ISLANDERS against
the ambassador but for the fact that we
have been assured that respectable people
IN the United States have been misled by
them. They are absolutely groundless.
Mr. Cramer is on the best terms with our
government, and from what we hear, fills
his position most creditably.
Says the Copenhagen Flycepostea:
Ihe world is full of liars. Gen. Grant, |
the President of the United States. is a
prey to professional liars of that country. |
The United States Minister here is his rela- |
tive consequently he must be slandered, |
For this reason some American papers op-
posed to Gen. Grant have had the otfronte-
ry to I'LL their columns with venemous in
vention ..about Mr.. Cramer here, whom
they paint in the blackest colors as desti-
tltute of culture, delicate feeling, and the
most ordinary tact.
We suppose that Mr.. Cramer will not
take any notice of such ridiculous accusa-
tons; but We deem it our duty to bear
witness 70 the high esteem in which he is
held, and to the contempt with which those
who are well acquainted with him cannot
out look upon the slanderers who prosecute
aim because he is related to the President
Of the American republic"
Says the Copenhagen Dutsch Zei,ng:
=" What has been published against our
American minister i'll American newspa-
'ers is false from beginning to end"
