THE LETTERS OF RESIGNATION.
The following letters of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Attorney General, resignng
their respective trusts, have been placed in our
hands for publication -
WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1911.
STA :-Circumstances have occurred in the
course Of your Administrations and chiefly in the
exercise by you the veto power, which con-
strain me to believe that my longer continuance
in office as a member of your Cabinet will be
neither agreeable to you, useful to the country,
nor honorable to myself.
Do me the Justice Mr. President, TO believe
tina, this conclusion has been adopted neither
capricously, nor in any spirit of party feeling or
personal hostility, bst' from Sence # duip
which, mistaken though 1t msy be, IA yet se sin
cerely entertained, that cheerfully sacrifice to
1t the advantages and distinctions Of office.
Be please, therefore, to accept this my resig-
nation of the office Of Attorney General of the
United States. =:
Very respectfully, yours, &c.

Mr.. CRIrrENDEN. The Alexandria Ga
zettc says that it is thought the President
will nominate Mr.. Crttenden, late Attorney
General, to the seat on the Bench of the
Supreme Court, TO be made vacant by the
resignation of Judge Mclean, just appoint
ed Secretary of War. Should this arrange
ment be made, and MIR. Crilcnden be placed
upon tho bench Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the situation would be as
greatly adorned by his high judicial attain
mcnts, as it would, no doubt, be con.ouant
with his own feelings.

"The first conquonce is that those who brought the
President into power can be no longer, IN any man
ner degree, Justly held responsible or blamed for
the admin lsttaOn of the EXecuWe branch Of the
Governments; and that the President and his advisers
should be exclusively hereafter deemed accountable
But as by the Joint of Providence and the people
he is consiuonally invested with the powers of
Chief Magistrate, whistle remains in office he should
be treated with perfect respect by all. And II will be
the duty of the Wings, IN and out of Congress, to
give TO hts Official acts and measures TAR and full con-
slderaon, approving them and cooperating in their
support where they can, and differing from and OPP
posing any of them only from high sense Of public
duty"

The editor Of the New York Auror,. sneo ,,;ne
OF the imprisonment of Capt Hatch at Rotter-
dam, has The following remarks:
I'VE are assured by gentleman who way At
rotterdam at the time and became acquainted with
the instances, that the American Consul
refused to interfere where there was the most ur-
gent cause, and that nothing was wanting but his
proper official Interference to have saved Can't, n
from utter ruin.
This shows the stupidity of appointing foreign.
ers to American Consulships in foreign countries.
If there are any Offices under our government
which ought to be fledb by native born Americans
it should be those who represent US in foreign
countries and we hope that a resolution will be
introduced into Congress at an early day, for the
purpose Infringing about this reform When an
American in England, France, Holland or Rus
sla, gets into trouble, let him have an American
consul TO apply to- and not to an old phlegmatic
Dutchman.
In the mean time we hope tie Executive at
Washington viii lose no time, after receiving the
aiIidavts this day forwarded, in taking the proper
measures to procure the release Of Capt. Hatch
from his Imprisonment.

We copy the following from the Portland Ad-
yertiser
In the debate on the Tariff, last week, III the
House of Representatives, at Washington, Mr..
Jones of Virginia, made some sneerng illusions
to the excess of expenses over income during the
FIRST yc,r ola Wing administration.
Mr. Stanly of North Carolina, made most
conclusive reply. lie showed that from the first
of January, 1871 TO the 4th of March, the expen-
ditures were upwards of -FOUR MILLIONS. So.
much before the Wings came-into' power lie
asked the gentleman to compare the results of the
present yen, with the Thirty nine Millions
spent in one year Of Mr.. Van Buren, ad,nnistra-
ton.
He stated that the expenses of the present year
were controlled by the last Congress in which the
Van Buren, party had the majority lhe amount
of outstanding appropriations on the 9TH OF March
last, was more than thirty millions oil dollars.
These appropriations were some millions in adj
vance of the estimates, and yet in his annual es-
Inmates Mr. Woodbury. was accustomed to keep
ont of view items Of arrearages already due, and
urre concentrations for them afterwards. Mr.. S.
requested the gentleman from Virginia TO post
none his censures until the Wings had been in
mower long enough TO clear off the debts left by
their predecessors.

could only be Identified so far as It's SINH
larity in amount went as proof.
The criminal was. however, terribly
frightened, and !clt sure Of conviction.

lcmma he retained Il very skiliul lawyer,
promising him as his fee an order for the
whole of the money, in case of acquital
The order the lawyer took, and So well
did he manage the defence, and astonisll
the prosecution by pulling to pieces the
evidence, that the jury acquitted the ne
Tro wi.ho@: leaving their seats. Going
out of the court room, the lawyer met tho
countryman, who was bitterly bcwaiine
his loss, which he now deemed irrCtr eva
