The arrival OF the San Francisco steam-
er City OF Puebia caused liveiser appear
ance In the local markets yesterday. al
though the volume OF business was small.
The principal portion of the receipts re-
ceived by the steamer consisted OF dairy
produce. caulInower and cabbage and
some oranges and lemons. BESIDES the
stock OF oranges received by the steamer
carload arrived overland, SO the market
- well supplied with that fruit.
Tho demand for oranges does not seem
10 increase very rapidly. Sales are slow,
ana even fancy naveis are not very firmly
held. Prices on fancy stock range from
2.15 to 80 per box. Seedlings are moving
on well at the low prices quoted. 81 ana
Wa per box. There are q few japanese
oranges On the market, bat very little at
tent!on Is paid them. Choice continue In
very light supply and dealers hold steady
for full figures. As high as Sis a box Is
obtained for the choicest stock Common
stock In plentiful and cheap Lemons
move on very slowly and prices are weak.
Dried fruits are inactive. and while prices
are not materially changed there Is some
shading of asking figures. Supplies are
liberal. though not excessive. Tropical
fruit OF all kinds moves slowly and prices
a. a rule are weak.
The demand for vegetables continues
good, with prices steady. The best QuaE-
ties OF potatoes meet with fair inquiry.
but trade Is dull. The demand for cab
bage and caulifiower Is first class and
dealers hold for full prices. Celery In
small lots arrives almost daily from the
country about Gilman and is readily dis
posed OF at fun figures. 20 cents per dozen.
The local market for doiry produce 10 IN
q very unsatisfactory condition. and pres
ent indications are not OF an encouraging
nature for either dealer or producer. Sup
plies OF butter arc plentiful. but outside OF
creamery and fancy dairy there is little
stock moving. Eggs are particularly dull
at low prices. Supplies are coming 90
hand very freely for some time past. and
many dealers are overs.ocked. Poultry Is
selling slowly. the demand being for
young stock.
Groceries and provisions are dull ana
prices nacsuate but little. Wheat Is dull.
With scarcely any change In values. The
hon and wool markets are in a very de-
pressed condition. and prices are low.

the formation OF the Government has been TO d.
vorce the legislative and executive branches OF the
Government. II Is argued by those opposed 10 Mr..
Duponts election that the Speaker Of the Senate,
beIng e.ected IN the Covernorship. "A Speaker pro
TEN was chosen and never known except as
Sneaker pro tenn. That. they claimed, gave the
Speaker although filling the office OF Governor right
to relieve the presiding officer when he pleased and
to assume those duties
But. on the other hand II is argued that the OFF,
Ger elected to MI the place OF Speaker was known
as Speaker pro ten.." rather than speaker be-
cause such election did not carry with II the right
OF succession to the Governorshp.
A similar case. Mr.. Higgins says, would be pre-
scented the President and Nice-P President OF
the United States to be removed from Office by death
The President pro tenn Of the Senate would not
coed TO the Office OF President. In similar way the
Nice-Presdert. when called TO be President OF the
United States. could not presume 10 act Presi-
dent OF the Senate some important occasion.
The constitutional provision OF the State OF Dea-
that person holding any other public Once

day ia exceedingly conhdent that Colonel Dupont
will be allowed 10 take the seat In the senate OF
the limited States to which he was elected by the
Delaware Legislature. In conversation Mr.. Higgins
said that he had received opinions on the question
OF the legality Of Sir. Duponts election from many
leading constitutional lawyers throughout the coun-
fry and the almos; unanimous belief Is that the
Sneaker OF the Senate OF Delaware. upon succeed

provlsions ceased TO have the right to exercise
the office OF Speaker. and without his vote Mr..

lie remarked that the succession provided by the
Constitution OF the State of Delaware was analo-
eous TO that OF the United States referring TO
the Presidency. before the passage OF the new
law placing the succession In the Cabinet after the
Vice President The law tested In this respect
in the case OF the impeachment trial OF President
Johnson The question was then brought up wheth-
or Mr. Johnson should be tried as Vice-President
or as President az in the latter only the Chief
Justice would preside. As is well known. Mr.. john
