advisers as early IS the middle Of May last,
70 appear whenever the government shall
think proper to order the trial OF these
State prisoners. The senior counsel Is q
gentleman of whose prominence st the bar

GOLD EARKEF.

NEW IUhhi JUIy 10.
Gold continues frlh and speculative
movements favor further advance. The
bulls are buying freely and the bears show
no disposition to put cut options. Gold is
offered at loan in large amounts at 1872 per
cent per day, but without finding bor-
rowers.
There are rumors on the street of an in
tention on the part of Secretary McCul-
loch to order the sale OF large amount of
the surplus gold in the Sub. Treasury. The
statement has 8 certain amount of credence
in certain quarters, and it is one of the
elements of the partial stringency in the
money market.

Nearly sll of the counties in Georgis on

held meetings and expressed their readi-
ness to compromise and submit to the au-

The proceedings of full forty counties

the largest producing counties of the State.
The probability is that meetings have al
ready been called in nearly every State
but the proceedings have not vet been re.

NEW YORK, July Is.
A letter from Gslveston. Texas. Of IaIy
4th, says: The city was somewhat disturb
ed yesterday by the arrest of Mayor Leon
ard, of Galveston, by the military suthori.
ties. Rumor assigns several causes for the
arrest, but nothing definite is known.
Stringent orders have been issued by the
Provost Marshal in regard to the sale of
liquors, and it is not improbable that the |
Mayor, being the proper persor, hss failed
to enforce them. So far all has been good
order in Galveston, although the rest of |
the State Is given up to rapine snd plunder.
The pail of death rests upon the city.
The people are dependent, and many pro-
fess to believe that the death of slavery
will be the death of prosperity in Texas.
The freedmen are rapidly svailing them.

the proclamation. It is the complaint of
the impoverished shareholders thst the

ders to return North; Pensacola, Seminole,
New London, Cuyoga, Princess Royal,

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS VISITORS.
For some days past the entrance to the
Executive Chamber has been guarded BY
a series of pickeis stationed at the bottom
and top of the stsiresses leading thereto,
much TO the annoyance of the SenstOrs
and Representatives, who were obliged 10
cool themselves in the East Room, in
company with rebel men and women, office
seekers and other beggars. Besides this,
barricsde was erected across the hsl
| leading to the business office. Tfis morn
ing the President ordered the distractions
to be removed, and instructed the usher to
admit all persons having business to the
upper Hall A distinguished Senator from
Ohio, noted for his plain talk, is said to
have been one of the first and fercest in
denouncing this Infringement upon demo-
cratic rights, and the President being in-
formed of the matter, changed the custom
entirely. Hon. Preston King is living at
the White House. He has entire charge
of the Presidents room, and is often seen
in neghgee costume, advising or instruct
ing parties, probably to tighten the labors
of the Executive.
