TIE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
WAsHINGroN, 10Th June, 1881


SIR: herewith tender to you my
resignation OF the office of Attorney Gen
cral of the United States. Two consid-
crations restrained me from taking this
step ut the moment when your commune
cation to the Secretary o.. the Treasury
announcing your determination to re-or-
ganize your cabinet, first met my eye
There was nothing in the retirement of
the Secretaries of State and of War, or
in the distinct and personal consdera-
tions which they had assigned for this
measure, which made it obligatory upon,
or even proper for me to adopt a similar
course. Such step, with any reference
to that occurrence, could only become
SO, on my part, as an act of conformity
to your will. You had felt this, and had
announced your wishes to the Secretar-
les Of the Treasury and of the Navy, re-
spcctivcly. | had ii right to expect a
similar commune cation of them, and con-
formed to the wishes and opinions of my
fellow citizens of Georgia when | deter
mined to await it. An additional con-
sidcratlon was prcscntcdby the fact that
had been charged, the moment of my
departure from this place, with the per-
iormancc of certain public duties which
were yet unfinished, and my report con-
ccrning which you did not expect to re-
ceivc until my return. was gratiied
to learn from yourself that you had ta-
ken the same view OF this subject, hav-
ing postponed the communication Of y our
wishes to me until my arrival at this place
without expecting in the mean time any
communication from me. 1t Is due to my
self further to state, that the moment
when l saw the communication referred
to, have considered my official relation
to you as terminated, or as subsisting on
ly until my return to the city should en-
able me to conform to your wishes by
the formal surrender of my office, which
it is the purpose of this note to make.
l retire, then, sir, with chccriulncss
from the station to which your confidence
had called me, because | have the con-
sciousness of having cndcavorcd to dis
charge It's duties with fidelity to your
self and to the country. UnnilucncCd
by those considerations which have beer
avowcd by that portion of my colleagues
who have voluntarily separated them
selves from you-to,aIlv ignorant of any
want OF harmony in your cabinet, which
either has, or ought to have impcdcd the
operations of your administration, | per-
form this act simply in obedience to your
will have not the slightest DISPOSE
ton to discuss the question of its proprie-
ty: Ii is true that in a government like
ours, power is but a trust to be used for
the benefit of those who have delegated
1t; and that circumstances might exist
in which the necessity of sell yndlca-
