Minister Cramer-RerutatIo of
ISLANDERS.

President Grant has been roundly abused
from one end of the land to another for the
alleged misconduct of Mr.. Cramer, Minister
to Denmark. We publish the following ex
tracts from Danish papers to show that all Of
the charges made against Mr.. Cramer are
scandalously false, the malicious inventions
OF irresponsible scoundrels on this side of the
ocean:
From the Copenhagen Dagbladst, May Ill
To our utmost establishment we find in the
American papers charges of misconduct and
indiscretion against his Excellencv NJ. Graz
mer, the Ambassador of the United States to
this Kingdom. Mr.. Gramer is charged in the
American papers with gross misconduct in
office, with having participated in discredit-
able scenes at the Tivoli, and with having
been ostracised in society in consequence Of
his shortcomings. After thorough investi-
CATION of the charges preferred in the above
named papers against Mr.. Cramer, we here
with pronounce them fictitious from first to
last. There is no member of the Diplomatic
Corps in this city who enjoys a higher share
of general esteem than the American Am
bassador,. and we simply give expression to
the sentiments of those who have been
brought into contact with him in saving that
there is in this capital of Denmark no gentle
man but esteems it an honor to hold inter-
course with Mr.. Cramer.
From the Official Tidende
A scurrilous paper of this town, the Punch,
has thought it was a smart thing to attack
Hon. Mr.. Cramer, the United States Minister
IN this city, and has also reproduced extracts
from American papers, in which the honor
able Ambassador is roundly abused. There
Is no foundation whatever to the ISLANDERS
against MIR. Cramer, and as regards what the
American papers have published against him,
it is false from beginning to end. 1t 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 abso-
lutely groundless. Mr.. Cramer is on the best
terms with our Government, and, from what
we hear, fills his position most creditably.
From the Copenhagen Fy,eposten
The world is full of liars. General Grant.
the President of the United States, is prey
to the professional liars of that country. The
United States Minister here is his relative
he must be slandered. For
this reason, some American papers opposed
to General Grant have had the effrontery to
fill their columns with venomous inventions
about Mr.. Cramer here, whom they paint in
the blacklist colors as destitute of culture,
delicate feeling, and the most ordinary tact.
We suppose that Mr.. Cramer will not take
any notice of such ridiculous accusations, but
we deem it our duty to bear witness to the
high esteem in which he is held, and to the
with which those who are well
with him cannot but look upon
the slanderers who prosecute him because he
is related to the President of the American
Republic.
IRON the Copenhagen DsutscL Zoltung
What has been published against our
American Minister in American papers is
false from beginning to end.
