President ot the United States.

 WASHINGTON, 2lst June, 1881. The President of the United States:

 SIR Before leave the city, it seems to be due to the Government that should perform painful duty, imposed upon me by the events of the last fortyeght hours. It is not necessary for me to detail the circumstances which have convinced me of the ex- stence of vndictive personal hostility to among some fthe officers the Government near your per- son, and supposed to be in your special confidence, which has been particularly developed within the last two weeks, and has finally displayed itself in at ltempt to way-lay me my way to the office yester day, have reason to believe, for the purpose of assassination Ifyou have not already been appris- led of these movements, you may perhaps be surprs- ed to learn that the persons concerned in them are the late Secretary of War and the Acting Secretary of War; and that the Second Auditor of the Trea- ury Register of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States, were in their company; and that he Treasurer's and Registers rooms, in the lower part ofthe building of the Treasury Department; and also grocery store between my lodgings and the of ice were alternately occupied as their rendezvous while lying in wait; the former affording the best Opportunity for observing my approach. Appraised of these movements my return from taking leave lof some ofmy friends, found myselfoblged toarm, land, accompanied by my son and some other friends, repaired to the office, to finish the business of the day, after which returned to my lodgings in the ame company. It is proper to state that the prin- Npdi ptfsOHS WIlO DeeH tuus TUT btNt- al hours retired from the Department soon after uttered by room, and that received no moestation fom them either at my ingress or egress. But hav- ing recruited additional force in the evening" they Paraded until late hour on the streets my lodg- hgs, heavily armed, threataning assault on the dwelling I reside in.

 do not present these facts to your notice for the purpose of invoking your protection. So far as an individual may rely his own personal efforts, am willing to meet this peril; and against an assault by numbers have found an ample assurance of fprotec- ton in the generous tender of personal service from the citizens of Washington. But they are commu- nicated to you as the Chief Magistrate ofthe United States, and most especially ofthe District of Colum bia, whose duties in maintaining good order among it's inhabitants, and protecting the officers ofthe Go vernment in the discharge oftheir duties, cannot be unknown to you.

 have only to add, that so far as l am informed, althe persons engaged in giving countenance to this business are officers of the Government, except the late Secretary of War.

 I have the honor to be, respectfully, | Your obedient servant,

 | s. D. INGRAM.
