England From the hour when his name was nrst

fuse to himself the high honor or a position which
he could have filed with distinguished ability,
Acting upon sense OF duty, aud with q
desire to relieve The President, the Sen
ate and himself OF all complications, he ear
nestly endeavOred TO secure the withdrawal OF
his name. The rapidly approaching close Of the
session Of Congress forbade this except at the cost
OF much embarrassment TO the Senate. and 1t was
understood that, Il he saw proper his declination at
a later day would AVOID many causes OF confusion.
Immediately after receiving the official notice OF his
appointment he declined IT, and the subsequent de-
lay In the announcement OF his action has been I'm

TO His EXcellency President GRANT
Permit me to express my appreciation or the dis
tfnYuished honor done me IN my appointment az
Minister 10 England, an honor the more valuable be-
cause originating with one whose confidence i 50
received the on1cial notification OF nv appoint

FORE have deeply and sllsnerestedly reflected on
the question whether IL was my duty TO accept the
of,iee And having come 10 the conclusion that IL IL
not regret that the kilograms indicating the result
10 witch have 00mc--sent, the one on the morning
OF Thursday the 14tn inst, as soon as the OF
my possible nomination took shape In the press, and
the other the morning OF the 10Th, soon az
heard OF my nominatiOn-did not reach their desti-
nation In time To lead 10 the selection Of another
than myself for the position.
Although my mind was fixed on this subject when
telegraphed, yet the most grateful vote OF the
Senate on my confirmation, which am aware was
10 a good degree the result Of a natural KIND feeling
toward recent associate and also expression OF
views rs TO the national policy has led me carefully
10 review the subject
In view OF my domestic relations and duties,
which was grarihed 10 find In our recent interview

stiOD and my conviction that there others better
suited 70 the Office, am brought to my first conclu-
si0ns. ana shall forward my letter declining the

While reprel that my efforts to avoid the public
association OF my name with this office were not
successful, you VIII please permit again 10 ex-
