Louis, March 1.—Quito o sensation was ereated horo this morning by a very bold odito- rial in tho Bt. Louls Times exprossiog abillty sad readiness to provo the truthfulness of the chargoe that Attornoy-General Pierropout had conspired with Gen. Babcock'n attornoy to break dowa tho prosccution, and that, throcgh in- trigue, Dyer had been defostud at evory point, Thoso chnrges wore mado Boveral days sgo by tho Wasluogton correspondent of tho Times, a young gentleman moro noted for his zeal than his roliability, o circumstanco which rendered tha story a littlo flshy in pubtio estimation, but the subsequont and ropeated assoveration of the Times that tho chargo againat Dierropont’ was truo and would bo g0 proven at tho proper timo, haa croated s profound impreusion amoug many people. and ihe frionds of tho Attorncy-Genoral think that an oxplanation on bis part s siricily in order. An offorc was mado to find COL, DYER, THE DISTIICT-ATORNEY, to-nlght with o viow to learning what bo knew about Pierropont's allogod troschery, Dyer 16 now absent from tho cits, and, consequontly, no interviow was hind with him.

Howevor, Dyer Las bad no Laitation in Ba{hu; that, had Lo beon as woll sustainod in that caso ns ho was iu thodo proced- ing it, conviction would have boen certain, 1lo 860 wont a8 faras to say that Piorrepout had dono im no good, and it the Washingtou peo- plo had kopt hauds off acquittal would have beon virtually impossiblo.

Uhora aro many cireumstancos of this sort showing the {ntimato rolationy between Dabcock and the Bt.

Anothor possibla roason for tho delay is that Heeing probably desiros to take sdvantago of his lato trip to Canada, and the time botwaon thia and the 14th to arrango for the production of bis witneascs in porson, or their afliaavits, 1n caso the GQovernment should wnot liston to tho proposal to t them immanity to come here and testify.
