I olight, to per form Iilitary liduty until the coiven ing of Co! gress, Dec. *1, 18U9. I ther-eforo hillndiately appiealed foir active service in tho lhil ippm ies, and finally in July received order with tho understanding that I would be ordered to return so as to bo present when Congress convened. In October, it becamuo ovident that to leave Luizon in time to reach Washington by Dec. .1, would neces siatito leaving my conunand (uring active op)eIatiolls, when I saw clearly that a dely of two or three weeks would enable me to remain with iy comiaid which was performing its part in capturing or dispersing the insurgent government and thus aid ing in tho pratical termiination of tho war. I therefore suggested that as the first. session of Congress never enact ed legislation prior to C3hristmas, thatl my arrival in Washington be foro the convening of Congress after tO Christmas holidays WoUld attain OV,mry purposo and would enable 1mo0 to avoid leaving my command in the midst of activo operat ions. li November I forwirded to thei President my resignationi as tn offi cor of the army, so as to prevent the possibility of any questions arising as to my right to my seat iln Congress. A comibination of circumstances de laye'd my3) reaching WVashington, and wvhien I arrived the President veriy kindly asked me to remiain in the arm-y. 1 wats also niotihled by the speaker t hat his~ ruiling w~ould be that my'. failure to be0 prt~eent when Con gress convened had1( wo)rked a forfeit of my seat. After a confer'ence with IIon. W. J. W~ood, I asked him to niot ify you of the condtitions and rc(enet ani oloc. tion to be ordered for my suCCessor. It is necw suggested thit, it is nie2es sary mor me to send you a forimal resignation as a member of the Fifty.. sixthI Congress froma Alabama. I t hei efore respect fuly t ender my resignation 1as such. I regret moiro thban I cain oxpress aniy iniconvene& miy abs)onico hats caused the pl) el oif the ninth district. I will devote mv. nelf' to their inuterests in connecti>n with congressional matters so far as I am11 able until my successor is ready to qualify.

Johnston, Mont gomery, Ala: Sir: I forwarded my resignation as a member of Coingress to you y( s terday. It has been suggested that it might be wvell if it were accepted to takoeoffect when myl suiccessor is electedh, as that wouldl onable mon to do more in working for the district in thle mieanItime, but that is a matter for your botter jndgmonit.
