M-968 Publication Title: Letters of Application and Recommendation Publication Number: M-968 Publication Title: Letters of Application and Recommendation During the Adminstration of Ulysses S. Grant 1869-1877 Date Published: 1975 LETTERS OF APPLICATION AND RECOMMENDATION DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF ULYSSES S. GRANT 1869-1877 The Department of State series of Letters of Application and Recommendation for Appointment to Public Office, 1791-1901, is arranged in segments that correspond approximately to Presidential administrations. On the 69 rolls of this microfilm publication are reproduced the letters from this series for the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant, 1869-77. The letters are arranged in alphabetical order by the surname of the applicant or the person recommended and thereunder chronologically. President Grant received many requests for appointments to positions in the Territorial governments, the judiciary, and the diplomatic and consular services even before his inauguration on March 4, 1869. During the first months of his administration as many as 400 people came to the Executive Mansion each day, seeking Federal appointments. Many of the applicants were veterans of the Union Army who hoped to receive special consideration from their former commander. There were a number of applications from blacks for important positions in the post-Civil War period. In addition to letters from applicants, Grant received many letters of recommendation from Members of Congress, officials of State and local governments, and former military acquaintances. Most of this correspondence was handled by Grant’s personal secretary, Orville E. Babcock and Secretary of War William W Belknap, who occasionally made decision on applications without consulting the Presidents. Many of the applications for position in the diplomatic and consular services were addressed directly to Secretary of State Hamilton fish, who complied to Grant that his department was being used as a “refuge for all for whom no place can be found elsewhere.” Federal appointments have traditionally been granted as patronage, and Grant paid many of his political debts with appointments to diplomatic and consular posts. His administration was marred by a number of scandals, some relating to appointments. One of the more notable scandals involved the sale of commission and concession rights to the International Exposition at Vienna in1873 by Gen. T. B. van Buren, who was appointed by Grant to head the American Commission. A number of letters reproduced in this microfilm publication relate to the Vienna exposition and have annotations by General van Buren. The letters of application and recommendation were in the custody of the clerk of Appointments and Commissions until 1870 and then, successively, of the Bureau of Pardons and Commissions, 1870-95, the Appointment Clerk, 1895-98, the Bureau of Appointments, 1898-1924, and the Appointment Section of the Chief Clerk's Office from 1924 until January 11, 1939, when they were transferred to the National Archives. George Bartle served as Chief Clerk and Chief of the Bureau of Pardons and Commissions during the Grant administration, and his name is found on many of the letters in this microfilm publication. The records are part of General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59. In the same record group are other documents relating to appointments to public office,-including oaths of office, attested copies of confirmations and rejections by the Senate, copies of commissions, and resignations and declinations of appointments. Additional records in the National Archives of the United States relating to appointments during the Grant administration are in Records of the Office of the Secretary of War, Record Group 107; Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1780's-1917, Record Group 94; General Records of the Department of the Treasury, Record Group 56; General Records of the Department of Justice, Record Group 60; Records of the Post Office Department, Record Group 28; and Records of the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, Record Group 48. The records reproduced in this microfilm publication were prepared for filming by Denise Buford, Kent Carter, Ronald Swerczek, and Frank Warner. The introductory remarks were written by Kent Carter. INDEX Each entry gives the name of the applicant, appropriate cross-references to other applicants, the date span of documents and their enclosures, and the number of documents that contain a reference to the applicant. A few of the entries are names of official positions or geographical places rather than names of individuals. The only positions or place-names included are those for which there are separate files among the letters of application and recommendation. The term "document" refers to an individual letter with no enclosures or to a letter of transmittal with its enclosures. The names of all applicants and officeholders are listed; the names of persons who wrote letters of endorsement and comment are not listed except when names of applicants could not be determined. Some files include documents dated before or after the exact dates of the Grant administration. Examples of cross-references are: 1. Albertson, Jonathan W. See Dockery, Alfred. Signifies that all material referring to Jonathan W. Albertson is under the name of Alfred Dockery. 2. Bard, Samuel. See also Butler, Thomas J. Signifies that, in addition to the material filed under the name of Samuel Bard, there are references to him under the name of Thomas J. Butler.

I love the essays and I love the overall form. Reading these essays feels like entering into the best kind of intellectual conversati on—it makes me want and the Academic Life to write essays in reply. It makes me want to get everyone else reading it. I almost N never feel this enthusiasti c about a book. ETTLE —Rebecca Saxe, Professor of Cogniti ve Science at MIT What does it mean to be a scien� st working today; specifi cally, a scien� st whose subject ma� er is human life? Scien� sts o� en overstate their claim to certainty, sor� ng the world into categorical dis� nc� ons that obstruct rather than clarify its complexi� es. In this book Daniel Ne� le urges the reader to unpick such DANIEL NETTLE dis� nc� ons—biological versus social sciences, mind versus body, and nature versus nurture—and look instead for the for puzzles and anomalies, the points of Hanging on to the Edges connec� on and overlap.

The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

  • Acknowledgments Many People, for Many Years, Have Discussed The
    Acknowledgments Many people, for many years, have discussed the need for a record of the Brethren assemblies in North America. David Rodgers, long associated with Emmaus Bible College and assemblies in Iowa and elsewhere, is one of these, and is the person who has done most to promote and encourage the writing of this book. He has provided continuing encouragement and has been an invaluable help in identifying and contacting people who could provide information, and urging their cooperation. Emmaus Bible College, in the persons of Chancellor Dan Smith, Librarian John Rush, and several of the faculty, has been indispensable to this project: the Chancellor with his encouragement; the Librarian with his willingness to put the resources of the library at my disposal and for answering lots of questions; and the faculty who in several ways have encouraged me along the way and critiqued portions of the manuscript at various stages of writing. Many respondents to the questionnaires sent to them have done much more than provide information about their own assemblies; they have provided assistance in the form of information and contacts for other assemblies. Many people have patiently responded several times to my repeated questioning. When I have been reasonably satisfied with a draft for a certain region of the continent, I have sent it to a reviewer for comments, corrections, and additions. The assistance provided by the reviewers has been invaluable. Many reviewers have supplied a great amount of additional information and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing so. To all these people, indispensable to this project, I give my heartfelt thanks.

  • HONOR ROLL of DONORS 1 Mack D
    FALL 2014 Recognition of and appreciation for those donors Honor Roll who made a gift to support the students of Le Moyne College from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 of Donors By the time Le Moyne’s 14th president, Linda Le Mura, Ph.D., welcomed the members of the College’s largest-ever freshman class to campus in August, they already had completed their first assignment. As part of the new Core Curriculum, the Freshman Seminar requires that every student, whether studying biological sciences, finance or film, read, most for the first time, a classic, canonical text to introduce them to the practice of academic inquiry. As one of the few colleges to expect as much from its incoming freshmen, Le Moyne has earned kudos from the National Association of Scholars. The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave is not an easy read. It is neither fluid nor simple. It demands fortitude and rigor, and challenged the freshman to confront difficult and complex questions about the human condition. Will this reading transform these students? Will it help them land a job in four years? Will it be worth the investment? The answer is yes … if they are willing to push through the complexity and not give up. These young men and women will live and work in a complicated world, and Le Moyne’s president, faculty and staff are committed to helping them to meet the challenges and opportunities ahead. Throughout the College’s history, great leaders and teachers – including Don Monan, S.J., Hap Ridley, S.J., Robert O’Brien, S.J., Charles McCain, Ph.D, Dr.

  • Index to Register of Death 1881-1920
    Index to Register of Deaths Town of Oyster Bay Compiled by Town Historian John E. Hammond When Theodore Roosevelt died in 1919 his death was duly recorded by Oyster Bay Town Clerk Charles Weeks. Roosevelt was buried in Youngs Memorial Cemetery on January 8, 1919. RICHARD LaMARCA JOHN E. HAMMOND Town Clerk Town Historian A Message from Town Clerk RICHARD LaMARCA Dear Genealogy Enthusiast, Death certificates are filled with useful information for anyone compiling a family genealogy. While most states started requiring death certificates around the turn of the last century, the Town of Oyster Bay has records dating back to 1881. This booklet now does a lot of the work for you by listing those death certificates filed in the Town of Oyster Bay between the years 1881 to 1920. If you have been working on your family’s genealogy for a while, you are probably familiar with these little treasure troves. However, if you’re just starting out, you may not be aware of the valuable data they contain. Gener-ally speaking, the Towns’ death certificates include the name of the deceased, the deceased’s date and place of birth, the cause of death, the deceased’s place of burial, the names and birth places of both parents (a death certificate is a great resources for maiden names), and the name of the doctor. Just a word of caution: These are not perfect documents. Usually, the infor-mation was supplied by a relative, also known as the “informant.” This means the information was correct if the person knew it or could recall it under rather emotional circumstances.
