Kr. Gladstone and the Reform League.

TO THE EDITOR.

11, Carlton House-terrace, S.W.,
July 30, 1866.
Sir,—Mr. Beales obligingly requested to see me
on Saturday, when he placed the following letter in
my hands. It is forged.

In it I am made to declare that I sympathise with
the Reform League, and that I was ready to take
part in their projected meeting ; and the writer, who
is an adept in his art, guards against discovery by
deprecating a reply, and appears in the person of my
son, lest if he had written in mine the false hand-
writing should be detected.

I request you to be so good as to publish the let-
ter, since it is only by publication that I can defend
myself and others against similar fabrications, and
the delusions they are intended to produce.
Will you further oblige me by returning the
document, which is in original.

I have the honour to be, sir, your very faithful
servant,

W. E. GLADSTONE.
11, Carlton House-terrace,
July 26, 1866.
(Strictly private and confidential.)
Dear Sir,—My father requests me to say on his
behalf that while he sympathises with the Reform
League he cannot but feel that the cause which it
espouses is likely to suffer through the lawless
conduct of some who care nothing for Reform,
but are only too glad of a pretext to indulge in riot
and disorder. If you can arrange, "on the ground
of general convenience," that your proposed meeting
for Monday next shall take place on Primrose-hill
instead of in Hyde Park, you will adopt a plan
which will sift the " roughs" from the Reformers,
and give an opportunity for some real friends of
Reform to appear as independent supporters of
your League. lam authorised to state, that not
only my father, but some other influential
friends of the people will address the meeting,
if assembled, as herein suggested, on Primrose-
hill. Please do not answer this letter, as it
may be convenient to be able to repudiate the idea
of any correspondence having taken place between
the Council of the Reform League and members or
supporters of the late Government. If you think
your cause will gain by admitting Parliamentary
supporters as virtual members of the Reform
League, speaking to the people out of doors as of
them and with them, you can readily make the re-
quisite change in your,programme for Monday next.
—Yours faithfully, W. H. GLADSTONE.
Edmond Beales, Esq.

711 E RESIGNATIONS IN THE AMERICAN

CABINET.

Immediately upon the receipt of tne President's
veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill in Congress, the
House of Representatives passed the bill over the
veto by a vote of 101 to 33, and the Senate adopted
the same course by a vote of 33 to 12. The follow-
ing correspondence between President Johnson and
Postmaster-General Denison has been published :

" Washington, July 11, 1866.
" Sir, have the honour to tender you herewith my
resignation of the office of Postmaster-General, to take effect
upon your notifying me of its acceptance. In thus with-
drawing from the Cabinet, it is proper to say that I do so
chiefly because of the difference of opinion between us in re-
gard to the proposed amendment to the constitution, which
approve, and the movent for the convention to be held In
Philadelphia on the 14th proximo, to which I was opposed.
My confidence in the patriotism of the Union Republican
party and the conviction that upon its permament control
of the Government depend in a large measure the peace
and happiness of the country, will not admit of my holding
an equivocal attitude in respect to it. Assuring you of my
personal regard and appreciation of the uniform courtesy I
have received from you, I am, very respectfully yours, &c.,
" W. DENNISON.

" To the Executive.
"Executive, Mansion Washington, D.C.,
July 14, 1166.
" Sir,—Your resgnation of the office of Postmaster-
General, tendered in your letter of the 11th, is hereby
accepted. Fully appreciating your kind assurances of
personal regard, I am very trully and respectfully yours,
" ANDREW JOHNSON."
" To the Hon. William Denison, Washington, D.C."
Attorney-General Speed has sent the following letter of
resignation to the President :
"Attorney-General's Office, Washington,
Monday, July 16, 1866.
" To THE PRESIDENT.
"Sir,—l hereby resign to you the office of Attorney-
General of the United Stites. Be good enough to accept
my thanks for the kindness, consideration, and confidence
you have ever shown to me.—l have the honour to be, sir,
most respectfully,

"JAMES SPEED."

The President has offered the appointment of Attorney-
General to the Hon. Henry Stanberry, of Kentucky. The
New York Times asserts that Mr. Stanberry will no doubt
accept the nomination.
