The Independent has the following nota-
Bile incident, which throws an agreeable
hight upon the temper and relations of those
who have borne our great national burdens,
and who have been not little traduced in
days not long passed. A few days before
the Presidents death, Secretary Stanton
rendered his resignation of the War Depart
ment. He accompanied the act with most
heartfelt tribute to Mr.. Lincoln,s constant
friendship and faithful devotion to thecoun-
try, saying also that he, as Secretary, had
accepted the position to hold it only until
the war should end, aud that now he felt his
work was done, and his duty was to resign.
Alr. Lincoln was greatly moved by the
Secretary S words, and tearing in pieces the
paper containing the resignation, and throw
ing his arms about the Secretary, he said:
stanton, you have been a good friend and
faithful public servant, and it lis not for
you to say whenyou viii no longer he needed
here. Several friends of both parties were
present on the occasion, and there was not
dry eye that witnessed the scene.
