The AshIey-HOlt-CO nOyer Conspiracy
10 be DeVeIOped-The Documentary
Evidence for the DefenSe-The Pre-
siGIent's Counsel Sanguine-A Plot
TO Pint Kentucky and Maryland un-
der Radical MisruIe-A Prominent
Radical Thinks Grant has Com.
mifted Hari Kari.
Special to the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-There are ru-
mors that the facts connected with the al.
legged conspiracy Of Ashley, Holt, Conover
& Co. against the President last year may
be developed during the trial. CertSinly
Judge Stanbery was busy to-day overhaul
ing the assassination trial and other re-
cords, and it is surmised it is for this pur-
pose. Stanton knows the secret history of
the affairs in which these worthless were
implicated, but he will not be called by
the defense, for in the event he swore false
", they could not contradict his testimony
1t is believed, however, the facts can be
established by other and more reputable
witnesses.
Among the documentary evidence to be
presented by the defense, will be the Presi-
dents veto of the original Freedmen's Bu-
reau bill, which conferred on the Executive
such vast patronage, and which he declined.
This is intended to rebut the charge that he
usurped power. His counsel have no fear
of successfully meeting every charge and
pretext OF charge in the articles of i'm
parchment. They are sanguine of his ac-
quittal.
The Radical leaders are engaged with
parties from Kentucky and Maryland in
arranging preliminaries for the future ac-
ton in those States. They are to be placed
under Radical rule. The plot is not vet
fully matured, but it is known that imme-
diately on the PRONUNCIATION of the adop-
ton of the fourteenth amendment as part
of the Constitution, which will soon be
done, its provisions will at once be applied
to those States, which, among other things,
will reduce their representation in Con-
gress. What further may be done to put
them at the feet Of the Radical party will
not be fully determined until the impeach-
ment trial is over.
A prominent Republican, once Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Gays it
was bad enough for Grant to be under the
influence of Washburne, but by throwing
himself into the arms of Butler and Stan
ton he commits hari kari.

of the present obstruction. By direction of V.
p, X. X. X. Official, S. c., X. X. K.
The words C. V. p, which precede K.
X. K, are supposed TO mean Central Vice
President.
Some incidents which happened before
that step was resolved upon, have been
brought to light by the creation of the new
military division for Gen. Hancock. The
one most important is, that the President
has made several attempts on different pre-
texts to get Gen. Grant away from this city,
all of which attempts proved failures be-
cause the General-in-C hief insisted that
his headquarters were fixed by law in
Washington. This fact | learn from I'M
questionable authority, although General
Grants friends have, for prudential rea-
sons, kept the matter very quiet.
The Chronicle is not sure the "Kn>
Klux warning is not a very stupid
joke but that paper thinks somebody

ing Mr. Wade" But the Chronicle at

silly story of its correspondent about
johnson trying to get Grant out of
Washington These sensational stories
show the extremity to which the oppo-
nents of the President are driven in their
desperation to make a point against the
