Washington, June 16. Both the President and Judge Hoar were much surprised to-day on learning that the fact of the latter's resig nation of the office of Attorney-General was last night telegraphed North, especially as neither of them bad mentioned the subject to any one, nor was it their intention to do so, excepting in the nomination of a successor. There is much speculation as to the cause, of the resignation. It has no political signifi cance. After the withdrawal of the nomina tion of A. T. Stewart as Secretary of the Treasury, the President being desirous of ap- Eointing Mr. Boutwell to the vacancy, Judge oar informed the President that in order to avoid embarrassment in the appointment of two members of the Cabinet from one State, be would withdraw froia it, leaving the Presi dent free to select Mr. Boutwell. The President, however, remarked that that was a matter which more intimately con cerned himself, and while thanking Judge Hoar for his friendly consideration, appointed Mr. Boutwell. Some months afterwards Judge Hoar again voluntarily proposed to resign, he never appearing to desire a con tinuance in the position, but was always ready to retire whenever the President should think proper to appoint his successor. The nomination of the Judge to fill the vacancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States was from the most friendly feelings of the President towards him, which it is known was as sincerely re turned by Judge Hoar, and these friendly re lations have never been interrupted. When recently Judge Hoar tendered his resignation for the first time in writing, the President accepted it with the intimation that, as the booth had no Judge on the Supreme Bench, it seemed fair that that section should have a representative in the Cabinet, and therefore1 inquiries were made as to a suitable suc cessor. The ascertained qualifications of Amos T. Akerman, of Georgia, being satisfactory, he was accordingly nominated to-day to the Senate towards the close of the proceedings of that body this afternoon. An ineffectual motion was made to go into Executive session in order that the nomination might be acted on. - This will probably be done to-morrow. THE OFFICIAL COBBESPONDENCX. The following correspondence passed be tween Judge Hoar and the President: Attobney-Genebal's Office, Washington, June 15, 1870. Sir: I resign the office of Attorney-General of the United States, the resignation to take effect upon the appoint ment and qualification of my successor. Very respectfully, E. R. Hoar. To iLc ExEOTTTtvE Mansion," Washington, D. C, June 15, 1870. My Dear Judge: In accept ing your resignation as Attorney-General upon the appointment Bnd qualification of your successor, I take the opportunity to ex press to you my bign apprecianon oi ine able, patriotic, and devoted manner in which you have performed the lunctions oi mat office.
