Must he HOn0rcd, Duty and Conscience
IgnOred-Danish RemOnstra nee to the
| Court At Berlin.
| CoPENHAGEN, Sept q, 1874.
Re;e.ring to the treatment TO which Danish
! subjects have been exposed by the Prussians. the
government at Copenhagen has considered 1t an
imperative duty TO protest at Berlin; still such
protestations have thus far been OF mild
| and conciliatory character. 1t has been al-
legged, through the medium OF the German
press that the proceedings taken by the German
authorities Is only a repetition OF the usage for.
merry experienced by Germans under Danish rule.
This allegation is entirely failacious. When the
| first complaints were heard OF unscrupuous per-
| secuton instituted against Danish subjects GER.
| tain German journals endeavored to palliate the
offence by procaiming that the Danish gov
ernment had refused Mr.. Bremen late Mayor
OF FensDurg, PERMISSION TO take UP his resi-
dence in Jutland where his daughter was then
living. The assertion was utterly void OF truth.
The facts are these:-Mr. Bremen had played a
conspicuous role during the rebellion OF 1S4S-5C.
| having been member OF the provision al govern
ment OF Schles wig -Holsten. He was excluded
from the amnesty, Mr.. Bremen being considered
to be one OF the most compromised insurgents,
and thus he was compelled to reside in Germany
until 1864. After the occupation by the Prus-
| SLAMS OF the Danish duchies Mr. Bremen
returned to Schleswtg. and was appointed
to the Mayoraity OF Fensborg. He neld the post
only short time and then pctitioned the Danish
| government to grant permission to reside in Jut-
! land. Not only was the request granted, but the
| government notified him that he Was at perfect
liberty 20 reside in any part OF Denmark. Mr..
| Bremen has been unable to avail himself OF this
permission for the reason that he had not obtained
| leave from the German government to enjoy his
has characterized the accusation against
the Danish government as q caumny, ana de-
clared, moreover, tnat whenever he had occasion
to address that government on private business
he mad been treated with great forbearanca and
even cordialty This is the only case which can
be cited, and 1t seems pttable in the extreme to
| bring 1t forward, when we witness the daily pro-
ceedings OF the German authorities in North
schleswig. This is especially SO when 1t
is considered that those proceedings are
not levied against seriously compromised rebels,
but against peaceful, harmless citizens. The
National Zeituag unblushingy published the
false assertion that only Danish agitators had
been expelled by the Germans. But not one or
the individuals can be styled an agttator.
PUNISHED BY THE pRUssIANs FOR PRRE ExpREs-

casion to End or reflect on Germany, neverthe-
less, on February IS last one OF the members Of
the Scheswig deputation, a landed proprietor at

made the scapeg0at on whom the SINS OF the
journal could be visited. S0rensen was expelled

lost its working editor the Frei1 was compelled
10 discontinue its publication. The propretors
joined, however. another publication, called
the Ddnneptrk, at Haderslev. and the Prussan
Jury found vent there. The chief editor was a
Prussian subject, ann therefore out OF reach, but
the sub-editor, Young man named Barnetzen
was siDged out Tor exile. The editorial
labors Of that gentleman mad been strictly
confined TO foreign intelligence; he had
never attempted to challenge any of the
Powers. nor offended in the slightest de
gree against Prussan press laws. Moreover he
had the assurance OF the chief local oflcais that
he need be under no apprehension, and on the
strength Of that assurance the yOung man married
only few days prior to his expulsion.
