President
Th. President has signed the bill and
has cent the nomination of Philip Sheridan
to the senate for that position
The most serious Of the charges brought
against Mr.. Fuller are those frem Mr. Dun
levy, OF Chicago. They allsge that the clerk
of the court and Mr.. Fuller were Jury COM
drew the jury before which q case in which
be was himself heavily interested was tried.
The result, according TO kr. Dunlevy, was
a verdict for Mr.. Fuller and the consequent
recovery Of lssgs and valuable tracts of
swamp land The Committee has tele-
graphed for q transcript of the records and
will await its reception.
General Sheridan nomination was re-
csived by the Senate and the body immedi-
