A COUNTER STATEMENT.
REGARDING the Case of Minister Fish.

Regarding tho Case OF minister fisu'
WAsHIYGToN, d. G, May IL Re
garding the case OF Minister Fish,
Con&ling, in his letter to the governor,
says:
"Mr Fish, your former distinguished
Secretary of State, had Indifference to
to ancient practice and placed his posi-.
ton at the disposal OF the new admins
tration, but was ready to remain at his
post, il desired TO do So"
The Diplomatic Bureau OF the State
Department, gives the following as facts
in the case:
Fish on the 18th OF February, 1881,
wrote Secretary Evarts he must decline
to remain longer at his post, and in.
closed his resignation. On the 9TH OF
March Fish addressed a letter TO Blaine
asking to be relieved from duty. His
resignation was accepted, and a note Of
acknowledgment OF faithful duty sent
Fish by Secretary Blaine. Learning a
short time afterward that while Fish
was unwilling to stay In Switzerland,
he might possibly desire to still re-
main in the diplomatic service, Secretary
Blaine telegraphed him April 4th, ask.
ing him to go to Denmark, General
Badeau having declined that mission
Mr.. Fish replied by cable, declining
Denmark for the reason that he desired
promotion. In reference to Cramer's
appointment as Fish's successor in the
Swiss mission, il is learned that this was
done in answer to the personal request
OF General Grant, who asked that his
brother.in.aw might be sent to more
southerly climate, his long residence at
Copenhagen interfering with his health
