WASHINGTON, August ia special
to the New York Herald says the alb
sOrbiBg topic in that city, is the develop
ment of the alleged project to manufac-
ture evidence against the president, with
a view of securing his impeachment.

Geve that the disclosures just made
through the application of Conover for
pardon are q portion of the opinions Of a

Of his friends with Dunham and his
satellites to create revolution Of feeling
in regard to impeachment. To bring con-
No of Of "a lesad ,F
that movement would In ali probability
work very henefcially upon theJbresi-
Dental election. They say they e6nnot

convicted of perjury, to concoct false
evidence against the president of the
United States. These people are confident
that few days will suffice to clear up the
charges against Ashley and Butler, 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 genuineness of the rev
elations is very large, and iti diselaimed
by them that 8 few days, instead Of
revealing conservative plot, will Law

McCulloch is to be removed, and that
Randall some time since rendered his
resignation.
