The Journals correspondent says that
the Southern Senators and Representa-
tives are opposed to any adjournment,
but urge recess of six weeks. They
apprehend that the rebels may organize
to carry the fall election by compelling
the colOred men to vote their ticket, and
they insist upon having Congress in
session in the last week in September
or the first week in October, TO protect
their interests if necessary.
The 7'ribune's despatch of Tuesday
says the Cabinet to-day, was attended
by all the Secretaries, and was the
first full one held in more than
twelve months. Mr. johnson, it will be
remembered, maintained no official in
tercourse with Secretary Stanton for
many months before his resignation,
and when that gentleman retired from
the War Department, the office of At
torney-General was vacant. Mr.. Evarts
took possession of his Department yes
terday, and sat at the Council Board to-
day for the first time. Among the sub
jects discussed, was the Freedmens
Bureau bill, and the advisability of
vetoing it. No decision was arrived at,
and the subject is still under advise
ment, so that it is not improbable that
Mr.. Evarts may be called on to try his
hand on veto. Judge Black wrote the
last veto to bill of this character.
