proposed exclusion of retired army officers from civil offices, which he opposed, May 12.1870 (Works, vol. XIII. pp. 381-383); a bureau of education, and an expedition for Arctic explorations, both of which he favored. May 9, 27, 1870 (Works, vol. XIII. pp. 377-380: Ibid., pp. 384-386),—advocating the bureau again, March 13, 1872 (Globe, p. 1637): the return of the surplus of the Chinese indemnity fund remaining after payment of all just claims, for which he made an elaborate report, June 24, 1870 (Works, vol. XIII. pp. 445-470). and April 26 (Globe, p. 2977).
