The Presidential Tcampaign openod at San Francisco on tho . 18th inst, at which time an cnthusiastio mooting was held and a largo procossion parodod in which every man wore " Greeley hat." ' TnE Virginia State. Conservative Com mittee has issued a call for a convention at Richmond on Juno tho 27th. Tho members of tho Committee reprcsont tho fooling of the country generally to be overwhelmingly in favor of Greeley and Brown. .' ' ' The examination of tho chargo against tho Rev. L. D. Huston commenced at tho parsonage of Trinity Church, in Baltimore on Wednesday last. The caso of Virginia Hopkins, d servant girl, was first taken up, and she was on tho stand for four hours. It is understood that her testimony was of the most positive character. The entire pro ceedings aro conducted with secrecy. The Supplementary Apportionment Bill which gives Pennsylvania ono more mem ber of Congress,1 making tho delegation twenty-seven, has passed the Senate. This increase will make it necessary to elect three Congressmen at large at the noxt election nnlcss the Governor should sign the apportionment bill passed by tho lost Legislature, when ono would be so elected. Should he sign the - bill, another appor tionment will have to be made before Elections can be held for mombors of the Forty Fourth Congress as tho bill provides that for the Forty Third Congress ONLY, can members bo Elected from the Stato at large. TnE Senate has passed tho Civil Right bill which provides that if owners or persons in charge of any public inn, or any place of publio entertainment, for which a license is required, and the owners or persons in charge of any stage, coach, railroad, or other means of public carriage, for passen gers or freight, make any distinction as to the admission or accommodation on ac count of race, color or previous condition of servitude, they shall ; be punishable for each offense by a flue of not less than $500, nor more than f 5,000, and shall be liable to suits for damages in . any of tho United States Courts. The Seuate has also passed the Unheal Corput suspension bill. Congress has passed an amnesty bill which provides that all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the four teenth article of amendments , of the Con stitution of the United States are hereby removed from all persons whomsoever ex cept Senators and Representatives of tho Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seveuth Congress, officers in tho judicial, military and naval services of the United States, heads of de partments, and foreign ministers of the United States. The exceptions will, it is supposed, cover less than two hundred cases, including Jef ferson Davis and John C. Breckenrldge. The President has signed the bill. , .. The Farmers and Greeley. Tho Chicago Post says : Political arith metic, as ordinarily applied, may prove in adequate in figuring out the : ohances of Greeley's election. It is probably true , that no prior candidate for the Presidency has been so well calculated to bring to tho front a heretofore retiring, but very impor tant, part of the voting population. .. We refer to the Agriculturist interest. For twonty-five years the farmers of large por tions of the country have been familiar with tho name of Greeley, and have come to look on the venerable man with a respect not to say reverence, which it will be hard . for the jokes and jibes of his opponents to upset, especially as they will probably never see them. I n agricultural neighborhoods, even the tra ditional uncouth ness of Greeley, his lack of care for fine clothes,' not less than his his toric and honest devotion to the interests of labor and heartfelt sympathy with those who sweat and toil with their hands, have given tho sago of Chappaqua a foothold at 1 the firesides of farmers and their families which probably no other man In the Union possesses or ever did possess.

A law was passed last winter giving the 23d ward of Philadelphia a local option law. Tho constitutionality .of this law was re. cently argued boforo the court of Common Ploas, and tho docision of the court was in favor of the law. Tho question was brought before the court on the application of a dealer for a Mandamus to compel tho Commissioners to grant him a liconse. The following is an abstract of the opinions. The opinion of the Court was read by President Judge Allison. He first stated the general question as presented to the Court, and then proceeded to say that the Legislature of Pennsylvania had an undoubted right to legislate upon the subject of the saleof In' toxlcating Honors, because there was nowhere to be found In the Constitution of the Stato or of the United Stales prohibition against such legislation, It was only a matter of ollce regulation, which was clearly within the scope of legislative power. Whether tlio General Assembly would prohibit the sale of llminr throughout the State was not the question before the Court. The simple subject of present consideration was whether the legislature could prohibit the sale within the Twenty-third ward ot this city. If for the safety, prosierltvsnd happiness of flirt people the legislature would direct that no powder mill, petroleum factory or other such place should be erected In a densely populated district, why could they not as well suppress the sale of liquors In any district. In treating of the constitutionality of a law. It Is not proper to urge Its hardship, for a Judicial tri bunal was bound to a strict construction of funda mental document the Constitution. It was a cleur proposition, that whatever the legislature was not prohibited from doing by the Constitu tion It certainly had the power to do. There was no word In our Constitution withholding from the Legislature the power which they have In this in stance exercised. The relators had cited In their argument the decision of the Supreme Court in Parker vs. The Commonwealth. This case, even though It had not been seriously shaken by subsequent decls. Ions, did In no wise point to the Invalidity of the law. The reasoning of the learned Judge in that ease was purely inferential, and would not lit tills case. Hut that it was not to rule the present question' was evident from the very fact that of all the similar laws to tills that have been passed since the decision, not one has been decided to be un constitutional, but. on the contrary, many of them have been sustained by the Supreme Court, though they Involved the select Ions of sites for townships, the establishment ot schools the making of Jus tices of the Peace, the erection of public buildings and territorial consolidations. Though Parker's case has not been overruled by name, yet tho Supremo Court have since In the clearest manner given etfect to a principle, which was not then considered. Many decisions of the Supreme Court were here cited to prove the Judge's assertion. These cases undoubtedly threw a doubt upon the authority of Parker's case, and If that caso were the only obstacle, the doubt alone would Induce the Court to alllrm the constitutionality ot I lie act of March 3,1X72. A stat ue can certainly be made conditional, and It Is of no moment whatever whether the condition be an earthquake or a vote by the people. This act Is a law of Itself, defining nn offence and prescribing a penalty without a vote of the iieoplo. The vote of the people does not make the law or enact It. The prohibition was of the sale of liquor without license, and a penalty was at tached to that, and, though there had been no vote of the people on It, this prohibition and pen alty would have lieen effective. Besides, this act authorizes the citizens to hold an election and pre scribes the duties of the election oillcers. And, therefore, it was not true, In fact, ti say that the act was inert and inanimate when it left the hands of the legislature. It was as perfect a law as any by which we elect the President of the Republic And it bore great analogy to previous legislation on the subject of the sale of liquors, which stood as good until repealed. The relator was bound to establish the unconsti tutionally of the law. The learned counsel had failed to do this to the satisfaction of the Court and therefore his demurrer was overruled. Dissenting opinion. Judge Ludlow read a dissenting opinion. In which he said he could not see how tills case was to be decided Independently of the decision In Parker's case. He thought that case ruled this. There it had been declared that the legislature could not delegate Its powers to the vote of the people. And therefore, If the legislature had acted upon this subject and kept within constitutional bounds it should have said whether liquor should be sold In this ward or not, but not have left it to be de cided by the people. He thought this mutter was ruled by Parker's case, and therefore respectfully dlsseutd from the opinion of the Court. CSTIt is stated that there are received and kept regularly on file at the American Newspaper Advertising Agency of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., New York, no less than 583 different American Daily Newspapers, 50 tri-weoklies, 49 semi-weeklios, 4,002 week lies, 8 semi-monthlies and 320 monthlies, making a weekly average of over 5,500 pe riodicals of all kinds which are regularly filed and kept open for inspection by adver tisers and others who may be interested.

A Promise Kept. . , . ,' At Omaha a fow nights since a. promi nent and wealthy citizen, named AVilkie 15. Brown, was called to the door, . by somo unknown person and Bhot dead. The af fair, it is said, grew out of a seduction which occurred over a year ago.. A young lady who worked in Brown's family, was seduced and the brother charged Brown with the deed, and threatend to kill him on sight. The young man returned from. Texas a few days since, and it is supposed ho is the guilty party. ESTDrako county, Ohio, is in a terrible state of excitement over the liquor law. Nine suits for sums ranging from f 3.Q0Q to $10,000 each have been entered against saloon keepers and owners of property oc cupied by them, the plaintiffs being the wives of Intemperate husbands. One wom an, whose husband was killed in a drunken, brawl, has brought suit for $10,000, while the wife of the man who perpetrated the homicide bos sued for $5,000. All the saloons are closed.

A Sheriff Attacked with Hot Water. On Thursday morning, May 9th, Sheriff Myers, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Iloss and Frank Musselman, visited the premises of a family named Barclay, resid ing near Dry Wells, in Colerain twp., Lancaster county, to dispossess them from a property sold nt Sheriff's sale, and confirm ed by tho court to II. B. Swarr, Esq., in January last. Tho Sheriff found the house locked, the inmates being Sarah and Martha Barclay, and their mother, aged seventy-eight, and a man named Miller. Tho demand for admittance was refused, tho sheriff broko tho door with an axe, and the party threw hot water through the opening. Frank Musselman entered, up set the boiler containing hot water and put the fire out. The inmates, being armed with clubs and hatchets, retreated up stairs, vowing they would not surrender alive. The old lady flourished a double barrel gun, loaded and capped, daring any one to come up stairs. Sheriff Myers took the gun from her, uncapped it and put it away. The party parleyed with the sheriff, begging him to leave and report that he was unable to dispossess them. Finally the sheriff and his party succeeded in dis possessing the occupants, and putting thoir goods outsido. Possession was then given Wm. Campbell, to whom Mr. Swarr bad rented the property. The party said they had been advised by a lawyer to resist. A Disaster at Sea., Harbor Grace papers contains the details of a terrible disaster which occurred at Labrodoi . The brig Huntsman, with sixty two men on a sealing voyage, when off Capo Charles, Labrador, April 20, was driven upon rocks. Before the vessel struck, three seamen saw the rocks and jumped over board to try and save themselves, but were instantly killed by floating ice. The remaining 59 took to the rigging, and in five minutes afterwards both masts went over at six feet above the deck, and only seventeen of the crew escaped. Of these seventeen, all but three, were seriously in jured, by having arms and legs broken and bodies bruised. They manged to reach an other vessel by crawling bver.the ice, a dis tance of half a milo. Forty-five men were lost, most of them leaving families at or noar Harbor Grace. ' t3TThe Bellefonte Watchman says there is a curious chap in jail in that place by the name of Scott Magulre. Ho was ar rested not long since for picking up things around German's hotel, and as he is partly insane, is hold for court, when it is believed the judge will send him to tho asylum. The other dny he got out of his cell, somehow, through the register, into the hall, using one of the iron bars which he had torn out of the register, and modo his way up stairs into an impassible place in the attic, . from w hich he had to be dislodged by firing blank cartridges at him. He was returned to his cell, when be was suddenly seized with a paroxysm of mirth, and indulged in a multiplicity of capers, and including dan cing, singing, &c. ' ( A Nice Find. From Cold Spring, Cape May couuty, N. J., comes a story of tho discovery of a chest containing $30,000, on the Dick Thompson farm, near fislihig creek. Two men, one of whom bears the name of Gar retson, were digging ditches on the farm, which is now owned by Garretson, when they hauled up the money chest. The coin, they say, is so old that it is scarcely possible for them to toll the exact value of tho pieces, but the larger part is gold, the pieces being about the size . of twenty.dolhtr gold pieces. It .is, said fur thermore, that Captain Kldd's name was found imprinted on tho chest. There has been a periodical, excitement in ,tho place for the last forty years, and thin report hits caused a sensation that has affected the country for miles around, . (JreatRuu of Shntl. Tho'Rochester Union says: The practi cability of artificial propagation of fish, has at last been demonstrated to the satis faction of the doubters. Four years ngo Seth Green, under the directions of the fish commissioners of tho State, began the work of propagating shad in the Hudson. Lost year the fish wero of a size to be market able, and tho Increase was s6 great as to make shad cheap. The shad season has Just been oponcd in the Hudson and gives evidence of still greater improvement. Monroe Green, who has just pitched his tents at Mull's flshory, ton milos below Alban preparatory to the commencement of the artificial production of shad, writes his brother Seth, under date of the l5th, that the fishermen are taking lots of shod further down the river. They aro sold at fisheries, for from eight to ten dollars per hundred fish, and they have been sold as low as three. Tho market of Albany was glut ted, and dealers did not know what thoy would do with so many fish. ' Tho shad had not yet reached Mull's in any number, but are Bhortly expected there,, when the work of hatching will begin. ' ' It will be remembered that the shad which are sold at the prices above named will weigh from two to four pounds, are very cheap food. Theso shad aro those which woro turned loose from the hatching boxes of Mr. Green in tho spring of 1808 and '00. Those of later seasons will come along in duo time to further demonstrate that tho waters properly cultivated can rival the land in tho production of food for the people." Had Governor Geary seen fit to sign the fish bill passed at tho last session, this State would havo soon enjoyed tho same bonefit that Now York is now enjoying. It is now too lato to commenco operations this year, and so he has delayed ony good results which might arise for another year. A Dog Worth Having. At Lawrence, a few days ago, two boys, sons of Robert Christie, wore fishing in Shawshce river, oneof them, fell in. and the other plunged in to rescue him. The water being deep, both sank, when a New foundland dog belonging to Mr, Christie, which was with them, sprang into the water,, and seized tho youngest, took him to land, and then returned and rescued tho other.
