WAsHiNGToN, April 10, 1881.

 Sir.-I am gratifed to find myself entirely reliev- ed by the distinct explanations at the interview to which you invited me- to-day, from the uncertainty as to the object of your communication yesterday, which had referred to in my note of last evening; and have to make my acknowledgements for the kind ness with which you have expressed your satisfac- tion with the manner in which have discharged the duties of the station to which you had thought pro- per to invite me- and your conviction of the public confidence Tn my administration of the Treasury Department. beg leave however to add, in my own justification for not following the example of the Secretary of State and Secretary of War, in making voluntary tender of the resignation of my office, as as was acquitted with theirs, that I was wholly unconscious the application to myself of any of the reasons, far as l was apprised of them which had induced them to withdraw from the public service It, therefore, seemed to be due to my own character, which might otherwise have been exposed to unfavorable imputations, that I should find reason for resigning in distinct ex- presslon of your wish to that effect this wish has now been frankly announced, and has enabled me to place my retirement on its true ground.

 l have, therefore, the honor of rendering to you my resignation of the office of Secretary of the Treasury of the United States which you will be pleased to accept, to take effect soon as my ser vices may be dispensed with consistently with your views of the public interest.

 l seize the occasion to offer you my thanks for the many testimonials have received of your kindness and confidence, during our official connexion, and especially for the renewed assurence this day. of the same sentiment.

 S. D. INGRAM. His Excellency, ANDREW JACKSON.

 | President ef the United States
