For some days cast the entrance to thS Executive Chamber has been guarded ly a series of pickets stationed at the bottom and top of the staircases leading thereto, much to the annoyance of the Senators and Representatives, who were obliged to cool themselves in the East Boom, in company with rebel men and women, office saokers and other beggars. Ktside. this, a barricade was erected across the hal leading to the business office. This morn ing the President ordered the obstructions to be removed, and instructed the usher to admit all persons having business to the upper HalL- A distinguished Senator from Onio, noted for his plain talk, is said to have been one of the firtt and fiercest in denouncing this infringement upon demc siatio rights, and the President being in formed of the Hatter, changed the custom entirely. - Hon.

Ho has entire charge of the President's room, and is often to-n in negligee costume, advising or instruct ing parties, probably to ligUen the labors of the Kxecu.ive. ARRIVAL OF A DELEGATION FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. Governor Perry, of South Carolina, and a delegation cf prominent men of that State and Georgi, arrived to-night by rail from the South to confer with the President on the important question con nected with reconstruction. It has been surmired that Tecent continued collisions between white and colored troops in that State is one of the suhjeots of their mission. VIEWS OF THE REBEL SOLDIERS. Every boat which comes up from the South brings large numbers of ex-rebel officers and soldiers, the former residents of the counties in Virginia contiguous to Washington. They are open in their avoaals of adherence to the principles for which they have fought, and of their dis rr gaid of the confiscation acts and oath of allegiance, saying that they wish only to get control of their property and of the State Government agin, when they will speedily restore the spirit, if not the letter of slavtry. Some of them speak flippantly oi their readiness to take another brush with the United States as soon as an op portunity is offered. PARDONS. There is no diminution in applicants for pardons. Among the latest applicants are of -the retel congress, from Kentucky. 'There are hosts of applications for pardons from those who are within the property qualifications of IheAmneety Proclamation.

The bulls are buying freely and the bears show no disposition to put out options. Gold is offered at loan in large amounts at 182 per cent per day, but without finding bor rowers. 1 here are rumors on the street of an in tention on the part of Secretary McCul loch to order the sale of a large amount of the surplus gold in the Sub Treasury.

There Is an undefined apprehension coming tightness in money and some brokers show considerable caution aid de tire to get rid of stocks. From the same reason the Bears are putting out options more freely, helping the downward tend ency of prices. . .. The same feeling extends to Government stocks, some of the larger holders showing a disposition to sell at lower prices. Xhe orders for Governments by the late steamers ware not important. Certificates of indebtedness are J lower for the new series. The expectation of large future issues produces a disposition to sell these securities. Stale bands are dull. Railroad bonds ore more active, without change. . The miscellaneous lists show no material change. Gold is firm but the market lacks anima tion. Considerable loaned gold was called in to-day, which tended to keep the mar ket steady. Cash gold continues plenty and the supply may possibly be increased before long. The money market is unsettled. Loans ore not ottered so freely, and there are ex. pectations of higher rates. Exchange is dull and lower with a tend ency towards still lower rates. The shipment of specie to morrow wil1 be small, but another large instalment of of 5-20 bonds will go forward. PETROLEUM STOCKS. The Petroleum stock market WAS dull to-day and the sales were small.

FROM BUENOS AYRES. The Herald's Buenoi Ayres correspon dent gives additional particulars regarding the hostile operations of Paraguay against Brazil, the Argentine Confederation, and Uraguay, und duto- or May 21st. No engagement had yet taken place, but one could not much longer be delayed, as Par aguay was still pushing forward her two strong columns of troops into the interior of Brazil and the Confederation. The news of the triumph of the Union cause in this country caused much sincere rejoicing in Buenos Ayres, among the na tives as well as among our own people. The Buenos Ayres national holiday, the 25th of May, corresponding to that of our Fonrth of Julv. was coletnated this year a SETTLEMENT OF PUBLIC LANDS. The Tribune's Washington special says that the settlement of the public lands, in connection with the sul ject of foreign em igration, is now engaging the attention of the Department. It is confidently believed that the payment of our war debt can be vastly facilitated by a wise and liberal pol icy extended to emigrants in settling our public lands, and more especially the mi ning fields of the western territories. CROPS IN GEORGIA. The World's correspondent at Columbus, Go- says : The scarcity of provisions In this region has been such that the people have planted plenty of corn. A good aeai has been put into the ground since tne ces sation of fighting, la this State as in oth er Southern States I have passed through, there will be enough corn for the people themselves. There is now a real scarcity of provisions in the markets. Poor flour is worth three dollars a nunareu ia cum. Board at hotels is four dollars per day, the same price of the best hotels in New York, this being the only resemblance between them. The best families ore living on corn bread, bacon and buttermilk, with an oc casional chicken. The vast numbers of poor widows and helpless people must exist some how, but nobedy can tell how the poverty of the people is exemplified in language, appearance and habits. Per sons who have evidently been raised in affluence are denying themselves some of the chief luxuries of the season. Ihey all dress plainly. There are plenty of women whose rxternal furnishing is sadly out of taste and repair in traveling on railroads, and a great many get into the cars with out a cent to pay their fare, trusting to the generosity of the conductor for a nde. Sometimes whole families stait eff with little or no provisions. Eating houses are few, and those charge a dollar for entry to the table, when a scrabble ensues for the edibles. The State cf Georgia, like South Caro lina, is a good deal crippled by raids through her territory. Not less than three hundred miles ot railroad have been torn up within her borders since the fall of At lanta. The loss to the State in devasta tion cannot be less man jto,u,uv, At Columbus three large cotton factories were burned down besides 51,000 bales of eotton and nearly 1,000,000 bnihels of corn. The destruction here was four days after the surrender of Lee, but General Wilson knew nothing of the negotiations with Sherman until he reached Macon, where he was met by a flag of truce which fortunately stopped the destruction. Between West Point and Montgomery the railroad company run one engine and two flat cars, and charge ten cents per mile, refusing to take greenbacks except at cents on the dollar. The negro question is still the absorbing one, and furnishes the only occupation the military government, :The negroes mostly continue at work at their former homes, but In the cities and towns are great numbers idle. Many of males have run off and left their families to be cared for by their late owners. The inhabitants complain that those who were the most eager to give the negro freedom, will not now give him his nor compel him to work for it, but wants of both whites and blacks will bring them into a belter frame of mind ere long, and by next year some uniform rules be adoDted for their treatment.

A letter from Galveston. Tpxaa. ! 4th, says : The city was somewhat disturb ed yesterday by t,he arrest of Mayor Leon ard, of Galveston, by the military authori ties. Rumor assigns several causes for the arrest, but nothing definite is known. Stringent orders have been issued by the Proyoet Marshal m regard to the sale of liquors, and it is not improbable that the Mayor being the proper persor, has failed to enforce them. So far all has been good order in Galveston, although the rest of the State is given up to rapine and plunder. 1 he pall of death rests upon the city. The pr ople are despondent, and many pro fess to believe that the death of shivery will be the death of prosperity in Texas. The freedmen are rapidly availing them- slves of the privileges accorded them by the proclamation. It is the complaint of the impoverished slave-holders that the freedmen are tetter off thsn themselves. Many of them havo money laid np and good horses. ORDERED TO RETURN. Tae feiiewing vessels have received or ders to retnrn North ; Pensacolo, Seminole, New London, Cuyoga, Princess Royal, Kennebec, Virginia and Penobscot. The Fort Jackson, Preaton, Columbia, Alba tross, Getrude, Virginia, remain for sever- days. These vessels draw too much water to cross and are obliged to keep the same anchorage as they previously occu pied. Galveston has suffered severely from yellow fever, and the residents here are predicting that it will wenmnnicate to me Union trocps before the season is over. General Gi anger has Lsued special orders in regard to quarantine regulations, which, enforced, will prevent the importation of disease from other p trts. GALLAGHER'S EXCHANGE. NEW YORK July 18.

IMPORTANT DECISION. NEW YORK, July 18. The following decision has been rendered by Attorney-General Bowden of Virginia RICHMOND, VA., July 14, 1865. To Bon. T. H. fterpant, Gov. of Va.: 60 Sib : Your note cf the 13. h inst. inqui ring whether persons who held office under the so-callea (southern umieaeraie mate Govern meat are eiigable to county cilices, has been received. My opinion is that such persons are not eligible to any consti tuted bffices. The first section of article three of the Constitution provides that no person shall vote or hold cln undtr this Constitution who has held office under the so called Confederate Government, or under any rebellious State Government, or who has betn a member ot the so-called Confederate Cjrgruts, or a member ot any Sta'e Lesislalure in rebel. ion against the authority of the United Stale.; excepting therefrom county officers." There are county offices which are offices under this Constitution, ucier me provision cuea all persons embraced theroin are prohibited e knUi.. t Vnal l ,il i.itt&l fR a. Tnthi. prohibition ore not included such persons as heretofore held mere county offices under any rebel State Government. I regard this as the true interpretation of the pro vision in question. Ibe a tide is mainly employed in describing tne classes oi mose who shad not hold office. I have therefore construed the words excepting therefrom county offices" so ss to accord with the .unarni intent oi me orovision, nut meaning persons holding office under the Confederate Government, and could be elected to county offices, but as meaning that all persons wuo nave been mere coun ty officers may hold any constitutional office. One OI two inte.pretations muss 03 vivan to the section in question. It was tne intention cf the trainers of the Con stitution, either first to limit the illegibility of the clauses mentioned to mere county officers or exclude all classes mentioned, save county officers from illegibility to an office, and confer on mere county officers the right to be neia to any position while a county officer or otherwise, I am clearly of the opinion that tha latter is tne true intention. The con trary construction oi me section wouiu he attended with many anomalies. First, it would permit any officer of the so-called Confederate uovernmeni to uoiu a county office when, by the terms of the article as nrmiruillv adopted, and as it stood until re cently amended, he could not vote for an other person lor tie same omce. touu, Count v offices of merely legal and limited juritdiction would be placed under the same h.n with tne nienent oiuutra ui uiv ev- ..lled Conlederacv or rebellious Slate gov. ernment. Again, as l cave aueaay saiu, the section in question is mainly employed In describing the classes oi persons not .llioihletoofibe. This construction ac cords with Ihe general intent, i, . It con struts the words, "excepting therefrom countv officers," as desenpha pereanarum are nut, as indicating the offices to which the proscribed classes are, notwithstanding thir nroEcriouon. euieioie. . xuo 1 am eivine leiers merely to cunauiuwuu officers. As to such officers as are created by the constitution, the pronioiiions beiore mentioned oo not appiy. respectfully, THOS. R. BOWDEN, Attorney General of Virginia. FAMILIES OF DAVIS AND CLAY.

There is no doubt that the dress paletot and underskirt en mile will be worn throughout the summer, and on this ac count plain materials will be much in fa vor. Of course this applies to simple toi lette. Bodies are made with large basques; or, indeed, frequently with a short casque, hich takes the place cf a corsage, being made to fit. Binds are sometimes worn orerth si- We do-not recomnaid this jio tcluic VOU'lullJg , ..111 1. la irfuuhj. by some. Russian leather "-bands and buckles are quite as much in vogue as they were last year, mae is very i isnionaDie color, but perhaps white may be said to predominate. We find white for evening drees, lor carriage wear, and also for tha seaside. Yet there is no need of sameness, for nothing admits of greater variety. The charming patterns in printed muslins ore really too numerous to mention. We must just cite one which seems destined to meet with great success. It is in wide black and white stripes, with a shower of gold spots over it; th&e spots ore sometimaa m white. &i.kj are very pretty this year, m stly in small patterns or narrow black and white stripes. Straight scarfs matching the dre8 have mode tneir appeirance here and there, but the attempt to brirg them back into fash ion again has already been made two or three times and failed ; therefore we speak with hesitation as to whether they will really become fashionable once more. With the hot weather lace has resumed its away, but not so extensive in shawls as formerly. We find it now generally in the form of a cascue or paletot The wool en lace i tparticularly suitable for these shapes. The lace paietot is made short and filling, and, worn with a robe of mus- liw i- Vttffatu. frt-jw. . elrnr-iit fnia j also for musiin, or fncy dresses of alpaca, linos or mohair. The effect is especially good on dresses or caaaquea when the in sertion is placed over a colored ribbon. Although hats are now occupying much of the t.me and ingenuity of our artists, there ore some new and elegnt models fur bonnet", the trimmings f which are very varied. . a bonnet cf straw tissue, trimmed with white ribbon edged with straw lace ; bou quet saula of seaweed, and red and black berries, t'carf of tulle falling over the shoulders, and fastened to the bonnet by an Empress comb of eu. steels. Bandeau ot seaweed and berries.

Greeley, Seward and Weed. Gazette writes as follows to that paper from New York : I went in for a moment this morning to e Xr. Greeley. Ha was in the same half concealed quarters, in an upper story of the Bible House, where, last winter he hid himself away from the throng that always infests his rooms at the Tribune Office, to write the first volume of his History. The walls were still lined with a collection of books on American history and on the war; and a great case of pigeon holes was fast filling w.th duly labeled slips of print or manuscript which his Secretary was filing away for b is reference. Tne veteran is already deep into his second volume, reading much ar.d dictating a few pagts every day to his phonograpber; bui still he is ss full as ever of politics.
