HON. CARL SCHURZ, Bolton Landing, Lake George, N. Y. In my own judgment the most important service that I rendered to peace was the voyage of the battle fleet round the world.
Engels was going into the Palatinate of Bavaria to fight in the ranks, with Annecke, Kinkel, and Carl Schurz. All the debts in connection with the paper had been paid, he told us, so that no dishonor could attach to its memory. "It was not until afterward that we heard how the debts of the paper had been paid.
A taking issue is as a stunning gown, or 'a best seller. The President's mind wears a coat of many colors, and he can change it at will, his mood being the objective point, not always too far ahead, or clear of vision. Carl Schurz was wont to speak of Gratz Brown as 'a man of thoughts rather than of ideas. I wonder if that can be justly said of the President?
No man in life was more misunderstood and maligned. There was nothing either erratic or conceited about Schurz, nor was he more pragmatic than is common to the possessor of positive opinions along with the power to make their expression effectual. The actual facts of his public life do not anywhere show that his politics shifted with his own interests.
Doric in his simplicity like a marble shaft, and to the outer eye as cold as marble, but below a man of feeling, conviction and tenacity, a working journalist and a doughty doctrinaire. A little group of such men formed itself about Schurz then only forty-three years old to what end?
In the political campaign which followed I took no direct part, though especially aroused by the speeches of a new man who had just appeared above the horizon, Carl Schurz. His arguments seemed to me by far the best of that whole campaign the broadest, the deepest, and the most convincing.
I know of no other man in South Carolina who could have filled the position. I remain, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JNO. P. HATCH, Brevet Major General Commanding. General CARL SCHURZ. No. 5. Charleston, S.C., July 24, 1865.
Howe, "I may say that the information communicated to us was that the senator from Massachusetts refused to hold personal intercourse with the Secretary of State." Mr. Schurz, sitting near Mr.
Among them were three from Massachusetts: Ashmun, then Governor, and chairman of the Chicago convention, Bowles, editor of the Springfield Republican, and Boutwell. There were also Gideon Welles, Carl Schurz, Francis P. Blair, and W. M. Evarts. The chairman of this committee notified Lincoln in a brief speech, to which he responded with equal brevity.
He telegraphed to Schurz the text of his message to congress recommending emancipation in the District of Columbia, which resulted in the law already mentioned, and this message of Lincoln was read to the meeting. The effect of it, following the speech of Schurz, was overwhelming. It was quite enough to satisfy the most sanguine expectations. This was not a coincidence, it was a plan.
