On Tuesday, Mr.. Stewart sent the
following letter of resignation to Presi-
dent Grant, which was accepted:
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 8, 1869.
To the President :

To the I'fcst0oW
SIR-Apprcciating the high honor
conferred by your nomi lation and the
unanimous confirmation by the Senate
of myself TO the office of Secretary of the
Treasury, ] regret that circumstances
beyond our control compel me to de-
cline. Could the difficulties presented
by the provision of the act of 1888,
which in organizing the Depar, ment of
the Treasury prohibit the Secretary
from being directly or indirectly con-
cerned or interested in Carrying on bust
ness of trade of commerce. be overcome
by any reasonable sacrifice personal to
myself, | would willingly make it,
would promptly transfer to the hands Cf
gentlemen in whom the public have
full confidence, every interest in gains
and profits that could possibly accrue to
myself in the business of my house dur
ing my official term, TO be applied to
such public charities rs their judgment
shou q dictate, and have proposed and
sought by the execution of appropriate
instruments to accomplish that end. Blu
serious differences of opinion have been
| expressed rs to whether that course
would satisfy the requirements of the
law, although | will not hesitate to
make this appropriation, provided it
would enable me accept office, and thus
unite my efforts with your own and
those of the other members Of your Cabi-
net in restoring economy, honesty and
strict frugality in the administration of
the Government, and lift as rapidly as
practicable from tie people the great
| burdens of taxation, debt and eXtrava-
pance resting upon them. Yet the
business relations of my firm in its con-
necticn with Others largely interested
in their continuance are such that they
cannot be severed summarily, nor can
my Interest in it be wholly and abso-
lutely disposed Of without producing
great embarrassment and loss
| to those with whom have
been connected. | cannot consent
to enter upon the administration of the
| laws by any act or course that may be
construed into disregard or violation
of law; and while, therefore, | regret
that the plan proposed is deemed made
uuate to relieve me from technical disa-
bllities, yield to the better judgment
of others rather than seem to be willing
to accept position in disrespect to the
laws. IN finally renewing the declina-
ton which was rendered at the outset OF
these objections, | repeat to you Mr.
President, my thanks for the honor done
me in offering this high position, and
assure YOU tnat you will have my ear

ton in carrying out the wise and salu-
tary measures indicated by you in en-
tering upon your office,

Yhe New Cabinet.

President Grant sent to the Senate his
nominations for the Cabinet, on Friday,
and they were all confirmed after brief
session. They are as follows
Secretary of State. B. Washburn
of Illinois. Secretary Of Treasury-Al-
exander T. Stewart Of New York. Sec
rotary of War, Gen. John M. Scofeld.
Secretary of the Interior, Ex-Gov. j. D.
Cox of Ohio. Postmaster General, Tx
Senator John A. j. Creswell of Mary
land. Secretary of the Navy, Adolph
E. Borie of Philadelphia. Attorney
General-Hon. E. r. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts.
The political complexion of this Cab
met, will prove entirely satisfactory to
the country. Washburn, though not al
ways elegant in diction, is nevertheless
one of the strong and positive men of the
nation. The most conservative, is Gov.
Cox. The Secretary of War is well
known as one who has stood up nobly
against Johnsonism. Mr.. Creswell is q
well known staunch unionist of Mary
land, and has held out faithful among
the few in his section. Stewart is the
millionaire of New York, and if he can
manage the finances of the country, as
well as he has managed his own, it will
be all that will he wanted or needed of
him. There is some doubt about his
eligibility. beingan importer, which con-
flicts with an old law that the Secretary
of the treasury, must not be an importer,
and consequently personally interested
in the collection of the revenue. The
Attorney-General{is an able man ant
one of the early anti-slavery men of tn,
old Bay State.
The Secretary of the navy, Mr.. Borie
is not SO generally known, outside O
Pennsylvania, but he was an answering
patriot during the war, as member o
the Philadelphia loyal league, which die
SO much for our soldiers there, and such
a man can certainly be trusted.
The ability of some of the above in
their new position must of course b,
proved, but as a whole, they will star
with the confidence of the country.
P.S. Since the above was in type
Mr.. Stewart has declined, on account @
his ineligibility.

prayers of the nation to Almighty God
in behalf of this happy consumation.
