Mr.. Chas. Gibson, of St. Louis, Soil.
citor 10 the Court of Claims, has recently
resigned Ip his letter OF resignation ho
states his views at length upon the policy
of the Government, and says he acce pied
the Office solely as a patriotic duty, and
at a considerable personal aud pecuniary
sacrifi e.
MIR. Lincoln's rejonder. probably, was
not altogether satisfactory to Mr.. Gibson.
1t was as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANsIos,)
WASHINGTON, July %, 81.
j. c. yelling, Esq:
SIR: According to the request contain
ed In your note, have placed Nj. Glib
sons letter of resignation in the hands OF
the President. He has read the letter
and says be accepts the resignation, as be
will be glad to do with any other which
may be rendered as this-ior the purpose
OF tsklng an attitude of hostility against
him. lie says he was not aware that he
was so much indebted to Mr.. Gibson for
having accepted the Office at first, not re-
memocrng that be ever pressed him to
do so or that lie AVE it otherwise than as
usuai-upon request made on behalf Of
Mr. Gibson. He thanks MIR Gibson fol-
his acknowledgement that he has been
treated with per-onal kindness and con
sideration, and he says he knows of bur
two small draw backs upon Mr.. Gibson's
right TO still receive such treatment, one
OF which is that he never could learn oil
his giving much attention to the dutie.
of the office, aud the other is that stud
led attempt of Mr.. G bson TO stab him.
