His ErceLency, AadreiO johnson, Presi-
dent Of the 6Iaited States
SIR:-I hereby tender to you my res
ignation of the Office of Director of the
United States Mint, which / hold under
the appointment and commission OF
our late and ever to be lamented Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln.
/ cannot approve ''your policy" as
defined by yourself in your late public
speeches, and practically illustrated
in deeds of violence and blood by its
advocates and defenders in Memphis,
New Orleans and elsewhere. cordial
ly ana unhesitatingly approve of the
Constitutional amendments proposed
by Congress. They embody the true
policy of Cancellation and RECONSTRUCT
ton; are Just, and more nagnanimous
than treason had any right to expect,
or injustice to demand. Their aCiop-
tions in my opinion, would at once re-
store harmony and peace to every sec
tion of our country.
Idesire the earliest possible reconstruc-
tion, of the Union upon the basis oi
truth, honor, Justice, liberty and equal
ity. This will be done, and will Iab Dor
earnestly for fits accomplishment; but
in the name of the patriot dead of the
late war, and the living and loyal mil
lions who then stood and still stand by
the national flag, protest against Civ
ing to the late rebellfous States pre-
MUM for treason and rebellion by in
cteasing their political power; or grant
ling to unrepenting rebels the right to
make laws for their antagonists-to
govern the true friends of the Union,
whilst in their hate of freedom they dis
regard the rights of emancjpated mil
lions, and deny to the loyal citizens OF
the United States the ordinary privi-
leges OF American citizenship.
/ cannot sacrifice my manhood for
Office, nor will I approve, under any
circumstances, that which every senti-
ment and feeling of my heart con-
demns. regret the necessity that COM
pels me to address you thus. could

silence would be dishonor.
will delay sending this until your
return to Washington.
Very respectfully yours,

REV. HENRY WARD BEEoHER was in
his own pulpit on Sunday for the first
time after the summer vacation, and
preached on Christian brotherhood,
making no nllusion to politics or to his
difference with the majority of his
church, unless it may be found in his
closing passage: "For secular purpos-
es we find men divided into classes
and castles, and sets and cliques, and
creeds, aud for lower uses this division
Is necessary, but to those who live in
the higher spheres of hope, love and
faith, there is no such power. Who can
hinder my loving good men2-not even
good men themselves. You may turn
me from your door, but you cannot
turn me from your hearts, nor can you
prevent the dear Lord from seeking
him who is denied an entrance to your
church from going out and comforting
him, If your souls are purer or nobler
than mine 1 will rejoice in you and
join myself to you-you cannot hinder
that; If you are better and nobler than
l, glory in it, and will seek the path
in which you tread. Men are power
less to disown u.s."

FAsHIoNABLE SUMMER LIFE IN En-
GLIsH COUNTRY HoUsES.-Ordinaril
the manner of life is somewhat in this
wise: Breakfast from to 10, the guests
dropping down and grouping them
selves us they please, generally at three
or four different tables. AT I0L or IL;
the shooting and fishing parties start,
or the cricket-match begins; in the
meantime the men stroll about the
grounds with a cigar, or visit the stable
and the Kennels, or join the ladies, who
draw, or work, or read the papers, or
gossip in the drawing rooms, or on the
carpets and cushions on the lawn, un-
der lime or chestnut trees, if the day is
warm enough. Then croquet parties
are generally going lazily and flirtingly
until the next general gathering at 2,
for luncheon, "a meal which the sports
man. however, takes under n hedge or
behind a hay stack. AfCerward the la
dies drive, or ride, or continue croquet
with such of the men MS eschew shoot
ing, until between 5 and 6, when there
is tea for those who like it, in the house
or on the lawn. Probably the sports
men will be home before the pleasant
lettering at tea is over, and by this time
the morning papers have arrived, and
perhaps some new guest, and there is
talk of anything that has happened in
politics or society. Dinner at or there
about, and afterward, in some houses
you Will have music, in others cards,
in others dancing, until the ladies' like
to retire. Then the men adjourn to the
billiard room, cigars and seltzer water,
mixed with more or less sherry or
spirits. Billiards last as long as any
one likes to play, every man dropping
of at his own time.-IOp Hughes.
