The sub- ject is discussed pro and con quite generally, and seems to attract more attention than any | question not connected with the President's | condition. A democratic member of Congress, in speaking of it. said, ironically, he thought Mr. Dudley had better refuse to’ pay any pen- sions to Union soldiers at present becuse the appropriations for this purpose were yoted by | ex-confederates. It is predicted by some that the democratic Senators will make this action of Mr. Dudley a cusus Felt against the commis- sioner and that they will unite to defeat his con- | firmation next winter. The opinion is expressed | some that the President when he recovers ufficfently to attend to public affairs, will not x-confederates. Others hold that Secretary Kirkwood will veto the proceeding. There are those who insist that the measure is a proper one, on the theory that there are ex-Union soldiers who would be glad to have the positions now held by ex-confeder- ates and that the former should be given the preference. This is ahout the way in which the matter is canvassed about town.

GRANT ON McCPHERSO: A letter from Gen. Grant appears in a general order of the Grand Army of the Republic of the department of Ohio, in which he says: “I have your letter of the 28th of June. I have answer the invitation to be at Clyde on the 22d of July, at the unveiling of the McPherson statue, that [am not able to say tively that I will be able to be present on ion, but if I can leave New-York at that time I shall certainly be there.

Unofticial Bulletin—2 P.M. ment Si Dr. Bliss at this hour—2 p.m.—reports that the President’s condition has been steadily im- proving eyer since morning.

Tire President is Letter in every way this afternoon nat the corresponding hour ye y, and he has not a symptom which need cause uneasi- ness. His pulse at 2 p.m. is only 96, and although he has taken no anodyne since yesterday, he is now sleeping a quiet, natural sleep. The at- mosphere of his room is still maintained by the refrigerating apparatus in the basement at the steady temperature of 75 degrees, which the President finds most comfortable. LAST NIGHT'S WATCH by the President's bedsidé was a very anx- ious one. The increased temperature might have meant a permanent change for the wors Every symptom was regarded with the closest scrutiny and the greatest anxiety. As the tem- perature began to fall shortly after it rose the anxiety was relieved, but the vigilance not slack- ened in the least.

Meade, mayor of Luna, Ohio, was received to-day, containing a copy of reso. lutions of sympathy adopted by the city council. LAST NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The official bulletin issued at 7 o'clock last evening stated:—“The President has had rather more feyer this afternoon. In other respects his condition is unchanged. Pulse, 108; tempera- tuffe, 102.8; respiration, 24.” Information ob- tained during the night from the sick room indi- cated no important change in the President's condition. During the night the President was disturbed by the noise caused by a party of car- penters engaged in building two large ice boxes in the immediate vicinity of the mansion. About one o'clock the work was stopped by order of Col. Rockwell. THE WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO-DAY consisted principally of preparing bulletins and arranging papers which came in during the rush of business. Several machines for cooling the sick room arrived to-day. Some curious ma- chinery without a, explanation accompanying it and the use of which no one could divine also came in. It was sent to the basement, where there isa room filled with patent beds and things which have been sent to the White House within the past seven days. General Swaim and Colonel Rockwell came and went during the day. Dr. Hawkes, instructor to the President’s boys, went out to Colonel Rockwell's house this forenoon to attend to the studies of the boys, which have-been resumed there. Very few peo- ple called. The Chinese minister sent his card with a hope of speedy recovery. The members of the Cabinet came in one by one during the day. The Mexican minister, General George Sheridan and Representative Crowley called during the forenoon. Mrs. Garfield did not go out to-day, but remained indoors, spending most of the time in the President's room. The only new feature about the house was the work of removing cooling machinery. That is a change from the constant receipt of it. Gen. Mussey called this afternoon for the first time since last Saturday a week ago. There ‘were a number of people who came to the house ‘on personal business. The business was of such a character that the callers had to be referred to the different departments where they should have gone at first. Not much encouragement is given to those who bee get their business be- fore the attention of the President. : THE PRAISE DAY PROPOSITION.
