The New York Times/1880/12/16/Secretary Schurz's Retirement

, Dec. 15. &mdash; The Post-Dispatch states editorially that “Secretary Schurz will leave Washington in April with his family, to settle down and make St. Louis his permanent home. Mr. Schurz intends to divide his time between looking after his German newspaper and writing a book for the Appletons. We have it from a most reliable source that Mr. Schurz is fully prepared to be without office during Gen. Garfield's Administration.”
