Washington, July s, 1S75.-Mr. Pres
ident I have the honor to transmit
with this note my resignation of the
Office of Secretary of the Interior. You
have been aware for sometime of my
earnest desire to retire from public life,
and you have understood the reasons
connected with my private business aud
domestic affections which have pro-
duced and intensified this desire. Last
November I requested you to accept my
resignation, you asked me not to insist
upon it and expressed desire that I
should remain in your Cabinet until the
end of your administration, or as long as
I found it agreeable to do so. AT
your request and solicitation | de.
clined then to insist upon your &C.
ceptance of my resignation, assuring you,
however, that must resign during the
early part of the ensuing Spring. When
that period arrived, and during the
months of April and May you advised
me again not to resign, which nd
vice agreed with my own Judgment
The reasons for this conclusion need no
be stated here. Since you were called
by your fellow citizens to perform tn,
duties of Chief Magistrate you have in

or friends, 30 far as I know and believe
, to take charge of very important ant
responsible public interest, the Interna

discharging its duties you also under

J. charged them to the best Of my abilit

3 months. They have been laborious, di

II generally understood. The Indian B,
