at the Capitol, Gen. Banks in the chair, TO
hear the report of the committee hereto
fore appointed with reference to the co idi-

length, but recommended chat day be
not now fixed. After several gentlemen
had spoken on the subject Representative
Washburn, of Illinois, offered resolution
expressing the opinion that the state of the

The following correspondence has Just
been promulgated; rr -.t-.psf1 rg-a.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July II, 1866.
SIR: 1 have the honor to tender, YOU
herewith my resignation of the office of
Postmaster General, to take effect upon
your notifying me Of its acceptance. In
thus withdrawing from your Cabinet it is
proper to say that do so chiefly because of
the difference of opinion between us in re-
gard to the proposed amendment of the
Constitution, which approve, and the
movement for the Convention to
be held at Philadelphia on the
18th prOximo to which am opposed. My
confidence in the patriotism of the Union
Republican party, and conviction that up-
on its permanent control OF the Govern-
ment depend in large measure the peace
and happiness of the country, will not per-
nit of my holding an equivOcal attitude in
respect to it. s r1- uoH ,9og.
Assuring you of my personal regard and
appreciation of the uniform courtesy have
received from you, 1aQtu iJ.-.s.n.
