NEw YORK, August PA Herald
Washington special says: am ~
formed tonight that one cause ol Tue
delay on the part of the preslueht I'D
removing Mr.. Stanton is disagreement
an,ong,his Cabinet members as to the
nronriety of the step. Iou will remem-
Ter I photographed last week that Messrs'
SeWard and Weed were opposed 10 the
r.uoyal Of Mr.. Stanton, ana nave
rsoson 10 believe that the S atemeht
US correct. Ii is said that Mr.. Seward
hao taken so decided stand IN the
,n,tter rs to have occasiOned bad 1eel-
mo in the Presidents breast. Mr.: Sew.
ard. all along, has been pear ADVISOR Oh
the Cabinet. lie has enjoyed the conn
Sence of his master, aud has had near
Iv everything his own way in the mat,
ter of appointments. Inc plays anu
cancellations that have so OFTEN disSaSt-
ed the friends of the President are sup
nosed to have been the result OF Mr.
Stewards unwise counsels. MIR. Johnson
now, perhaps, sees his mistake and Is
,uxious even at the eleventh hour to rem.
edy them by Something like decision OF
character and promptness OF action.
n IL said that he has resolved to re-
,nest Mr.. Seward to resign in a note OF
Somewhat equal politeness and bearing
m that delivered TO Mr.. Stanton. Shonld
this be true, and do not pretend 1t Is,
for can't make the statement Oh au-
,horitv. IL is believed Mr.. Adams Will
Inc called from England and otte red the
nortfolio of the Secretary of State. IL
: stated. moreover, that Mr.. Randall! and
Mr. McCulloch are not altogether to be
Isn.nded upon in their fidelity TO the
Johlfsonian policy. People say that tile
former contemplates resignlnS ., an
early day, and that he desires To Il"
something that will enable him 10 re-
tain the confidence of his party. AS to
Mr.. McCullOch, there are many rumors,
one being that the President believes
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
brought discredit on the administration
by appointing improper men To oflcer
and that the management OF the nation
nj finances has not been all that Was eN'
pected of him. The rumOr as IN the
difficulty between the President ana
Mr.. McCulloch places the matter ut sucn
an extreme point rs To mention ne
name of probable successor Ia the per
son of Moses Taylor, OF New York.
II has been stated here on very gees
authority that one OF tbs reasons whic,:
octuated Mr.. Stanton when he refused
TO resign ut the Presidents request Is,
that he has received information OF Il
scheme which it is said is oil foot for
arming military organizations IN the
late insurrectionary States, whose ulti'
mate object is aBOther assault upon the
government, aud he has determined tC
remain a. his post to thwart their de-
signs.
Ii is further said that one &c the reaS-
ons of the late rupture between the
President and Secretary of War wa:
the refusal OF Secretary Stanton to as
sign 10 the military command OF Mary
land. composed mainly of returned rcb
FL officers and soldiers, battery 81
light guns for which they had applied
The President is said 10 have directed
him to furnish the battery. bUt that Mr.
Stanton declined aud still refuses to ia
so.

The Trlbuuc's New Orleans special
says: President Johnson has rendered
to General Steedman the position oi
Secretary of War. General Steedmar
left on Saturday night for Washington
Ii is said that Postmaster Genera
Randall is anxious To leave the cabiue,
and that he will soon tender his resig
nation.
The Herald's Washington special says
The all absorbing topic in this city il
the developments of che alleged project
TO manufacture evidence against the
President, with view of securing his
impeachment. Pablo opinion is nearly
equally divided as to the real object OF
the conspiracy as well as to who are the
real conspiratorS. Many persons, prin-
cipally Radicals, believe that the dis
closures just made through tn applica-
ton of ConOver for pardon are part OF
the operations of the heal between the
President and certain of his friends
with Dunlam and his satellites to ere.
ate revolution of feeling in regard IL
impeachment, to bring contempt upon
the efforts of the leaders OF that move
ment in all, and i'll all probability work
very heneficially upon the next Presi-
Dental election.
They say they can't believe that q
politician 50 crafty as Ben. Butler would
ever bo guilty of so great blunder as
to comproinise himself by plotting in
company with u criminal convicted of
peIjury To collect false evidence against
the President Of the United States.
These people are confident that u few
days win suffice to clear up these
charges against Ashley, Butler & Co,
when the true character of the plot
will be made manifest, .-
On the other hand the number of
those who entertain no doubt whatever
of the correctness of the revelations i
very large, and it is claimed hy them
that few days Instead of revealing \
conservative plot will bring before the
country developments still more start
ling that any hitherto.
The Times special says: There is no
foundation III the rumor that Secretary
McCulloch is to be removed, aud that
Secretary Randall has since rendered
his resignation.
