General sherman Examined by the Impea che
ment Observation-Disclosures Of tie CCart.
WASHINGTON, April IA, 1868.
The impeachment proceedings were brought to an
abrupt close to-day, much to the disappointment Of
a large audience that had assembled in the galleries
by the motion to adjourn IN consequence Of Mr..
Stanbery's illness. Mr.. Evarts made quite an ap-
peal for an extension OF time, which was grant ed,
with but two dissenting voices, in which Mr.. Sum-
ner's was very distinctly heard.
The Board OF Managers had General Sherman be-
fore them to-day. Their object in examining him
privately was to ascertain all he knew or could
testify to concerning the Presidents removal of
Mr.. Stanton, or the plan proposed for accomplish
ing it. General Sherman was therefore put through
thorough course of questioning by both Mr..
Butler and Mr.. Bingham. The Managers are
now In possession Of all that General Sherman knows
on the subject, and 1t is probable that he will be
placed on the stand again.
1t is understood that from the character of the
animation the Managers have come to the conclusion
that General Sherman is about as good witness for
the prosecution as for the defence. He was before
the Managers for two hours.
