Revenue receipts today half a npllion. Commissioner Rollins has left the city for two weeks The Herald says editorially: “ The Governor of Alabama is certainly not far wrong in his notion that more National troops are unnecessary in that State. The presence of fifty thousand soldiers in Ala bama would not be so effective in keeping the peace as the Camilla fight will prove. Now that the whole history of that event is seen, it is undeniably clear that the niggers provoked the disturbance. They marched with their Radical leaders with music' and arms into a quiet town, comporting them selves in an offensive manner, and making a bullying expedition, and the manner of their conduct was met as if it wdro real. Tho niggers wfll see by this example that it-is not to the laws which, though co: usidered unconstitutional and an outrage on theiights and interests of the South, as an evidence and j. a Ai^gjj conduct in future, Ac. ” 3.-Grant be-ejectefi’-PreU and thff jS&ty North or South encfiSvor to pre vent an inauguration, he for one would pledge hsi sworn and his best services to place him in lenitial jchatoi Hbnjj Alaxy H.

Veils, of Virginia, continues to take an active interest in the prosecution, as a lawyer. The impression prevails in official quarters that there will be no trial. From New Orleans. New OatEiiss, September 28.—Governor 'Wurmouth’s veto of the negro equality hill was sustained in the House to-day,' The Tote was a tie, being thirty-two to thirty-two In the House to-day the bill was introduced and passed on its third reading, arid referred to the Jridi<jiary ] c6mtifittee.> The bill is en titled “an act to. enforce the provisions of the thirteenth article of the constitution of Lows- iana,” which is almost identical with the equality bill just vetoed, excepting fhat it makes infractions thereof the cause for civil action, and gives .preference on docket to suits brought .under its provisions. !
