Dear Linda Smith,
I have found information on who I believe to be the same person. If it
is not the same person then do please request a refund.
A search of the online catalogue of the New York Public Library
reveals the following description for items in their manuscript
collection:
"Bio/His: Charles Lenz (1840-1914) was a journalist, author and editor
in the U.S. Although he was born and educated in Germany, he served in
the U.S. Civil War and participated in the suppression of the New York
City draft riots in 1864. He edited several New York German language
newspapers as well as Original Rights Magazine and Capital and Labor.
An ardent abolitionist and Republican, he concentrated his literary
efforts on "progressive Protestantism" and anti-Catholicism."
"Collection consists of manuscripts and typescripts of portions of his
posthumously published work Cassock and Sword (1915), an analysis of
the future of American politics in terms of an international Catholic
conspiracy."

Appointed from New Jersey. About half way done a Charles Lenz is
featured. At this stage I cannot say whether it is the same person but
further research may confirm or deny it.
I hope this will be of use to your research. Please feel free to rate
