TIE HEARING Of the McHepry perjury case
at New York on "Wednesday developed a good
deal OF interesting testimony without reaching
an thing that could be called conclusive
Commissioner Rollins was a long time on the
stand. He denied squarely the charges of
having received valuable considerations from
the members of the whiskey ring, and stated
that the real property OF which he had become
possesse during his service worth about
a thousand dollars, and that he was ready to
sell II 10 the examining lawyer a. that valua-
ton.
RESIDENCE FOR GENERAL SHERMAN.-We
understand that the efforts OF the committee OF
gentlemen TO procure for and present to Gen
eTal Sb erman z suitable residence this city
have resulted ID the purchase of Gen Grants
fine mansion on street, and that General s.
will enter into possession Immediately after
the ith prox. The transfer included the furnI.
ture, ETC., and the Lieutenant General will oc-
cnpy the house subs bstanially y as 1t now Sue
ceeding Gen. Grant in the command OF the
army, there would seem TO be special fitness IN
General Sherman's taking up his abode in the
house soon TO be given up for the Executive
Mansion; and We think all parties interested
to be congratulated on the fortuitous result
OF the negotiations.
- 1t is proper TO state in this connection that
the heretofore announced sale of this property
10 Mayor Bowen was never consummated.
