Oollectoiot the Port oí New York Deab Sir- Your letter of the ' Idth tenderbig the reaignatioii ot' the office of Cjlioctor of the Port of New York, with reusons theri Lor, is roceived. It gives me gmat plcasnre to bear testimouy to the efficienoy, honesty and zcal with which you faave admüwotered the ofíico so long as it bas been trusted to your keeping. Your own peace of miiul, do duubt, wiü hu eahanoed by leavlng the offioe of Colleetor; bat doubt whetker suoh: course will be in ■■vci y sense beneficial to the public sorvioe. Under your administration the revenues from the New York Custoni IIousü have been largely ino ed, and the oost of collectiona in propor tion to tho amou i' oolleotod, been ly diminished. This is shown by the records ot' the Treasury Dep&rtment. You liavi' had tay utiqualified oonttdence since you entered tho office ui' Collector ; you had thtvt ooafldence before, or the appointiüüut would nofc have been ten dered you. That confidence is still un shaken, and, in acceptiu - j ur resigna tion, I desire to give you the fullest as Burance of ihisfai t, whether you remaii in oüicü or out of offioe. Time will con vince a ju;t publio of your ontiro in nocenco of tho charges bivught agains you. With gro;tt i Youi1 üW' Ji .-n i e want, ü. S. lilïANÏ.
