THE PRESIDENT OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.
WASHINGTON, July Q. - The President was
seized last night with severe indisposltiOn, the
result of the uupIecedentedly hot weather. He
has been closely confined all day, seeing no one
but General Grant, who called to pay ms re-
spects previous to leaving own.
PROBABLE VETO OF TIE FREEDMEN's BUREAU BILL.
The President will probably tomorrow send
to Congress message accompanying a veto of
the new Freedmens Bureau bill, recently PASSED
by both branches of Congress. The message
has occupied the closest attention OF the Presi-
dent Tor the last few days IN its preparation,
and viii doubtless be full and exhaustive argu-
ment OF the points at issue between Congress and
the Executive on the policy to be pursued
towards the freed people at the South. 1t is
not now considered likely that the ball can be
made a law without the approval of the Presi-
dent.
CAUCUS OF THE RADICAL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
A Joint caucus of the radical members OF the
Senate and House Is to be held to morrow
evening, TO see what plan can be fixed upon TO
curb the President during the recess, and to fix
upon the time OF adjournment. The exceedingly
hot weather is telling severely on the staying
qualities of CGneressmen, and they begin to
is by no means probable that an adjournment
can be effected under two, and perhaps three
weeks. The House has not completed the Tariff
bill, although 1t has been before them more
than two weeks. The Senate will doubtless
require as much time for It's consideration, and
win then send IL back materially altered in its
character. One or two important appropriation
bills yet await action; also the army bill, upon
winch the House to-day insisted upon its position
by returning the Senate bill, with Schenk's
House bill substituted. The Mexican loan busi-
ness yet hangs fire in both Houses, and large
number OF private bills, so that three weeks will
be short time in which to close up the work of
the session. Moreover. if the caucus tomorrow
nipht shall result in any serious effort to restrain
the exercise OF proper and legitimate executive
authority during the recess IL will awaken
serious controversy. The expected veto OF the
Freedmen's Bureau bill will also call for action
that will tend to protract the term.
THE CASE OF PAYMAsrER PAULDNG-PRoBABLE
RUTTURE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND sECRE.
TARY OF WAR.
Matters between the Secretary of War and the
President, growing out OF the Padding case,
border on q rupture. 1t seems that the sentence
OF the Court imposed a fine OF five thousand dol
lars upon the delinquent paymaster, dismissed
him from the service, and ordered him into
close confinement for one year. The Secretary
of War reviewed and approved the proceedings,
finding, and sentence, and ordered that Pauld-
of the prisoner at once set to wo'k to mitigate
what to them seemed an unduly hard case, they
contending that he was merely guilty of tech
nCll violation of orders, though still abiding by
the spirit OF the existing regulations An appeal
was made to Mr.. STAN on an Saturday, who took
the interference in high dudgeon, eSclalming,
What! hasn't the prisoner yet been sent
away?" and immediately wrote an order direct
| ing that he be sent TO Fort McHenry by the
| O'Clock p. NJ. rain that day. HIS friends re.
doubled their efforts on this ouLburst, and, rein
! forced by the two Senators from New YORK and
other Influential men, waited upon the Presi-
| den:. The result OF the interview and showing
made was an oIder from the President to the
| Secretary OF War, directing stay OF proceedings
until the Bureau of Military j Justice could review
the case and report to him. This order was
sent to the Secretary at 2. NJ, but that officer
| found ii convenient TO be absent during the
afternoon from his Office, and consequently tine
orders he had previously issued were carried
| into execution yesterday. IL was ascertained
that Paulding had been sent away, when
the President issued au order directing him
! to be returned here Immediately, and this
morning the same officer who escorted him to
! his confinement started TO bring him bacE.
| Paulding has disbursed five hundred millions OF
| dollars during the war, and his accounts have
never exhibit ed the slightest sym Qtoms OF wrong.
| This is the first instance in which his conduct
has been questioned, and in this case he followed
the universal precedent Of deposlting his money
! in national bank and lost 1t. In no possible
| way could he be Painer by IT. Hence his
| friends attribute personal motives to the Secre
tarv OF War to account for the hostility with
which he has pursued the unfortunate man, and
cite instances 10 SNOW WDeT0 JnlS nOSJlllIN Orlgl
mated. Whatever may be the cause of it, Stanton
is very cross at the President for interfering in
the matter, and swears he will make ro y
| about il.
Three paymasters who testified on the court
| martial in defense and justification of Pauldng's
act were to-day dismissed the service by order o
the Secretary of War. Among these was Colo
mel Robert Dodge, chief of a bureau in the pay
department, one of the oldest and most trust
w0rthg officers in the late service. Another wa
ordered dismissed, when it was discovered tha
he had resigned week ago.
| GOVERNOR BRowELow IN HIGH DUDGEON.
| Private kilograms from Tennessee say tha
| Governor Brownlow is in high state of excI5e
ment owing TO the lack of quorum in the Ten
nessee Legislature, and that he Oreathes on
threatenings and SLAUGHTER against the two
members who are responsible tor it by re
signing
| JEFF. DAVIS.
Mr.. Boutwell, Is busIly engaged writing up the
report OF the Judiciary Committee on the jeff
Davis conspiracy implication and will certainly
be ready to report within few days.
