chose the legal profession, but was ap- pointed to the Military Academy in 1849; graduated, 1853; served with his regiment, the First Artillery, in Florida two years, and as assistant professor at West Point four years; became professor of physics in Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., 1860-61. Was in active service with the army during the four years of the Civil War, much of the time commanding a department and an army in the field; in many successful engagements, especially in the battle of Franklin, Tenn., Nov. 30, 1864, in which he gained a decisive vic- tory over a superior Confederate army. Was made brigadier-general and brevet major-general in the regular army for his services in the battle of Franklin; was selected by General Grant, in 1865, to con- duct such operations as might prove to be necessary to terminate the French oc- cupation of Mexico. At the request of Secretary Seward he went to France in Nov., 1865, to accomplish, if possible, the withdrawal of the French army from Mexico by peaceful means; the fortunate termination of this mission and official negotiations rendered unnecessary any military operations in Mexico. After re- turning from Europe, commanded the First Military District, (the State of Vir- ginia constituting the "First Military Dis- trict"), under the Congressional recon- struction laws. Was Secretary of War under Presidents Johnson and Grant from June, 1868, to March, 1869. Was made major-general in the regular army by President Grant the day of his inaugura- tion as President; commanded in succes- sion the several military departments and divisions of the country, including the Mil- itary Academy, and was assigned to the command of the U. S. Army in 1888; was made lieutenant-general of the army by special act of Congress, Feb. 5, 1895. When entering upon the duties of com- manding-general of the army, General Schofield assumed in effect the position of chief of staff of the army instead of commanding-general, explaining to Presi- dent Cleveland, in a carefully prepared paper, that under the Constitution of the United States, the President being com- mander-in-chief, there could be no other, and that the true position of the military head of the army was that of chief of staff to the commander-in-chief, in ac- cordance with the almost universal cus-

tom of the great military powers of the Society Clubs. world. This was the foundation of the measure which has finally been adopted by Congress and put into operation or- ganizing a general staff of the army with a chief of staff at its head. After his retirement from active service in 1895, General Schofield wrote a sketch of his official career, under the title of Forty- six Years in the Army. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by the University of Chicago in 1884. Was commander-in-chief of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, from 1900 to 1904.

Soldier and author; born Liblar, Prus- sia, Mar. 2, 1829; after studying at the gymnasium of Cologne, he entered the Un- iversity of Bonn in 1846. At the begin- ning of the revolution in 1848 he joined Gottfried Kinkel, professor of rhetoric in the university, in a publication of a Liberal newspaper, of which at one time he was the sole conductor. In spring of 1849, be- cause of attempt to promote an insurrec- tion at Bonn, was compelled to flee with Kinkel to the Palatinate, entering the rev- olutionary army as adjutant, and taking part in the defence of Rastadt; on the sur- render of that fortress he escaped to Switz- erland; in 1850 he returned secretly to Germany and effected the escape of Kinkel from the fortress of Spandau. In the spring of 1851 he was in Paris as corre- spondent for German journals, and he afterwards spent a year in teaching at London ; he came to the United States in 1852, resided three years in Philadelphia, and then settled in Watertown, Wis. In the Presidential canvass of 1856 he de- livered speeches in German in behalf of the Republican party and in the following year he was an unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant-governor of Wisconsin. Dur- ing the contest between Stephen A. Doug- las and Abraham Lincoln for the office of U. S. Senator from Illinois, in 1858, Schurz delivered his first speech in the English language, which was widely published. Soon afterwards he moved to Milwaukee, and began the practice of law. In 1859-60 he made a lecture tour in New England, and aroused attention by a speech in Springfield, Mass., against the ideas and policy of Mr. Douglas. Mr. Schurz was a member of the National Republican con- vention of 1860, and spoke both in English and German during the canvass. Presi- dent Lincoln appointed him minister to Spain, but he resigned in Dec., 1861, in order to enter the army. In April, 1862, he was commissioned brigadier-general of Volunteers, and June 17, took command of a division in Sigel's corps with which he participated in the second battle of Bull Run ; was made major-general Mar. 14, 1863, and at the battle of Chancellors- ville commanded a division of General Howard's corps ; had temporary command of this corps at Gettysburg, and subse- quently took part in the battle of Chatta- nooga.

visited the Southern States as special com- missioner appointed by President Johnson, for the purpose of examining their con- dition ; in the winter of 1865-66 was the Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, and in the summer of 1866 he re- moved to Detroit, where he founded the Post. In 1867 he became editor of the Westliche Post, a German newspaper pub- lished in St. Louis; was then temporary chairman of the Republican National Con- vention in Chicago in 1868, where he moved an amendment to the platform, which was adopted, recommending a general am- nesty ; in Jan. 1869, was chosen U. S. Sen- ator from Missouri. He opposed some of the chief measures of Grant's administra- tion, and in 1872 organized the Liberal party, presiding over the convention in Cin- cinnati that nominated Horace Greeley for the Presidency. After the election of 1872 he took an active part in the debates in the Senate in favor of the restoration of specie payments, and against the continua- tion of military interference in the South; he advocated the election of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency, and that gentleman ap- pointed him Secretary of the Interior ; he introduced competitive examinations for appointments in the Interior Department, and effected various reforms. At the close of the Hayes administration he became editor of the N. Y. Evening Post, and held that position until 1884.
