'THE ALABAMA LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION
The delegation of the Alabama Legisla
ture having neglectEd to bring an autheuti
.eated col* of the resolution under which
they are' noting, will await its arrival liv
mail before officially visiting the President
- Gov. Smith is with the delegation, by re
quest of the Legihlature, to advise and sup
port them. He liasofficial functions toper
form here in connection with the applica
•tiou. -for troops. He is of the opinion
that. the action of , the . Legislature,
though unusual in form, meets the
'requirements of the Constitution. In
- the matter of securing Federal aid he
.does not' fully sympathise with the Legis
- latnre in its call for additional troops, and
expressed his confidence in his own ability
to maintain the peace' of the State. The
people' desire peace, and he has the assu-
ranee of Men of both pardes of support in
his efforts. There is some disorder on: the
line of the Tennessee river and north of Mo
bile, but elsewhere throughout the State
-there are rip indications of disturbance and
.no disposiion to resist the law. In no
other portii n
hasofficer any regularly in
.atalled in office been resisted iri the
the performance of his duties. The Gover
nor is appreliensive that during the ex
citement of the coming election imprudent
parties may commit acts which will lead to
serious disturbances, unless restrained by
-some, assurance from the President that
they will be put down by Federal authority.
Beyond this assurabce, Governor Smith 'is
inclined to think no Federal interference is
necessary at present.

NEW ORLEANS
Civil Rights Bill Vetoed—The Governor's
Message.
[BF Telegraph to the Pittsburgh ilazette.]
NEW ORLEANS, September 26.—Governor
Warmouth has vetoed fife civil rights
bill. Gov. Warmouth, in vetoing the bill,
says the State Constitution fully establishes
all the rights and privileges sought. to be
secured by it. He gays, after enumerating
his objections to its different sections, that
every person, colored as well as white, is
equally secured by the Constitution in the
enjoyment of political and civil rights, and
in his remedy for their infringement the
Courts ale open to all alike. The same
rule obtains in National and State Courts.
The Judges of the State Courts and their
of - Beers are amenable to and dependent
upon it. All citizens, alike colored and
white, constitute juries. • Those of the
lately enfranchised who are wise and re
flecting will not ask for more. They will
rather deprecate La kind of legislation
which, instead of advancing their present
'condition, only renders the enemies of
their race mote bitter and determined in
their hostility, and furnishes them wea
pons whereby to assail the rights which the
colored men have alretidy acquired. The
Governor says further: In returning this
bill without my signature it is hardly neces
sary for me to say that I am prepared, so
.far as lies in my province and power, to
enforce the new Constitution as it exists.
Such is my desire, as it is my duty, that
when I find the act in question to be in my
best judgment unnecessary end unwise, to .
demoralize the public conscience and in
tensify dissention, wtich .will surely yield
to the power of the time and the growth of
more Catholic views of our personal rela
tions, it becomes no less clearly my duty to
decline to sign it.
NEW OALE&118, Sept. 27.—The wrath of
the negroes at Gov. \Yarmouth's veto of the
;negro equality bill is
,unbounded. Threats
5 against his person are reported.
In the House Mr. Isabela, colored, author
of the bill, said if Gov. %Yarmouth had been
elected on the Democratic ticket he should
not have been surprised at the veto. but he
was surprised that such a document should
oline from a man elected on the Radical
Republican platform. He thought the mes
sage was a very weak doCument and carried
out certain principles of the Chicago plat •
form, which _he did not approve.. He said
when he should s, e colored men sitting in
the halls of Congress he should be ready to
exclaim, "Oh, Lord, I have lived to see the
salvation and I am ready to depart." .
Another negro announced if this bill
brought on a contliel, let it come: the
black man was ready for it.
The consideration of the veto was post
poned until Monday.
Sentvor Bacon's supplementary registra
tion bill provides for the adoption of the
registration of v: ters made under military
commanders until 'registration under the
State lawS can be completed. The negro
equality bill will probably kill this bill in
the House, if it:passes the Senate.
Judge Wm: H. Coole, of the Sixth Dis
trict Court in this State, who was refused
registration on techinal grounds, has sued
out a mandamus,. returnable -at the Fifth
District Court on Monday. - Other cases are
reported of discharged United States sol
diers presenting both their discharge and
naturalization papers and being refused
because the latter Wore issued by the Fifth
and Sllth District Courts, which the State
Board of Registration say are illegal.

EITOMIND
Losnox, - September 27—Sunday .7‘ ', /9)/.-
No official dispatches have been received
from Madrid since Friday. The following
accounts coine'from other sources:
The revolution in Spain is the result of a
union of the constitutional, moderate and
liberal' parties in an efliirt - to overthrow the
reigning dynasty. The fleet has joined the
movement, because the sailors are unpaid.
and tlfe greater part the army has re
volted', because they are indignant at the
exile of their favorite Generals. The
Church, which is bound by every tie to the
Queen, resists and, holds the masses in
check. As far as , can be ascertained
from the various 'reports received up
to the present tour, the insurrection
extends throughout the provinces of
Cadiz, Seville, Cordova, Huelva, Grenada,
Valencia, Alicante, Alegesrias, .11talaga,
Vigo, Ferralo, Corunna, Logruno. Alme
ria and Oviedo, and many armed bands
have appeared in the provinces of Huisea,
Saragossa, Teruel : and Navarre. General
Pacia has arrived in the vicinity of Cordeka,
hut his troops were deserting in large num
bers, and ho was obliged to stop his
march and wait for reinforcements
from Cindatd, Real and Badajos, which
at last accounts had not reached him. The
Province ol Biscap has sent troops to San
Sebastian for the protection of the Queen.
In Andalusia the telegraph wires have
been cut anti the railroads torn up.
The official journals of Paris, in reflect
ing the feeling of the Emperor Napoleon,
are apprehensive of the effects of a great
revolution so near France, and are seeking
in leading editorials to discourage the
movement. But it is generally believed
here that the revolution will be sticcessfui
and result in the expulsion ofthe Bourbons
and probably in the accession of the Mout
pensier to the Spanish throne:
A dispatch from Paris says General Prim,
with a fleet of irontlads, was expected at
Barcelona yesterday,

Colonel Carpenter, who started from
near Cheyenne, writes that on the morn
ing of the 24th ho reached Colonel
Forsythe on the morning of the 25th. He
saw no Indians on the way going, othei
than the bodies of eight or more WarriOn4
evidently killed in the fight. Nearly
twenty miles away they saw six or eight of
these on scatfolds.and on each were one or
more bodies.
The command which left here on the 24th,
under Col. Bankhead, with provisions, sup.
plies, &c., arrived soon after Col. Car
penter. They were attacked on the way by
a party of Indians, who *anted their stock
but did'ut get any of it. Col. F. lost
five killed and twelve wounded, and all
his horses. The Indian losS was rot far
from eighty kit ed and wounded, besides a
large quantity of stock:
The tight on the first day is described as
being the most desperate that has e verta ken

charge lifter charge, sometimes coining
w 'thin fifty feet of the men. The island

Indians, who were Sioux, Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes, numbered front six to seven
hundred, and were well armed with Spen-
Ccr carbines and Henry rifles. It Was esti
mated they tired not less than one thousand
rounds, besides a quantity of arrows, the
gronud ail around being thickly strewn
with the latter.
But little lighting was done on the second
day, and after that, though a portion of the
Indians remained in the vicinity until the
last three days, no attack was made.
' Tire scouts saw trails of large parties driv
ing many horses and mules going south
and east, and it was thought to be the de
sign of tuese Indians to get below tho Ar

NUMBER 232.
TM?. PENNSYLVANIA STATE:FAIR
This Fair commences at Harrisevarg to—
morrow and will continue for four days.
There are good reasons for believing that
this exhibition will be' the most extensive
and successful ever held in the State. We
have the following report of the arrange
ments made and of the expectations Of the,
committee:
The entries of horses, cattle, sheep and'
farm prOducts, exceed all former record is
these departments. Machinery, agricultu—
ral implements and household artices - will
be on exhibition in great profusion. The
displays in the florists' and ladies' depart
meats will form the most beautiful and at—
tractive features of the exhibition. Up to
nine o'clock this morning over one thou
sand entries were made at the office of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Society.
The grounds of the Society are located
on the Susquehanna river, about three miles
west of this city, and contain about seven
acres. Within the grounds is a one-mile
race track and buildings capable of aceom
raodating all the entries that will be made.,
Two large, well-inclosed halls, each sixty
four and thirty-two feet, have been erected
for the reception of fine articles. Two tents,
one hundred and ten by ninety feet each,
have been set up, one. for the floral depart
ment, and the other for fruits, vegetables,
farm products, household articles, and
five hundred . feet of shedding for the dis
play of carriages, machinery and agricul
tural implements. Stalls are also provided
for horses and cattle, capable of holding
two hundred and fifty head, together with
numerous pens for sheep and swine. The
floral hall is laid out in a beautiful garden
and landscape scenery, ornamented with a.
central lake, fountains of spray and revolv
ing gets, and interspersed with crockery,
patches of shrubbery and wild . flowers, all
combining to form a most pleasing and in
teresting retreat for visitors. There will be
races every day.
The indications are „that many thousands
of strangers from abroad will be here. The
gates will be open to visitors on Tuesday
morning, at ten o'clock. At two o'clock
r. 3t. a grand:cavalcade of all the horses and
carriages within the grounds will taken:dace
upon the track. At three o'clock r. m.
there will be a trial of speed between trot
ting horses entered for premiums.
On Wednesday morning the gates will
open at an early hour, and at eleven o'clock
A. m., precisely, a parade of the Fire De. .
partment of Harrisburg, in full equipments,
accompanied by a grand - cavalcade of all
the stock entered for premiums, so far as it _
is practicable to arrange it, will take place.
During the day several well-contested trials
of speed will be made.
All the principal railroads in the State
- will issue excursion tickets.
THE POWER OF TRUTH.
T' ere is an universal stampede from the
Copperhead Democracy. This movement
extends to the Irish vote, which always
heretofore, has been found faithfully adher
ing to that party, - through thick and thin.
Now we find such paragraphs as the follow
ing in the Freeman's Journal, the New
York organ of the Irish Democracy :
"There is no use of disguising the feet
that there is distrust and disaffection among
very many Democrats."
't We decline being humbugged by polit
ical parties. There are principles at stake,
or nothing is at stake we care for, A year
ago General Grant was a great favcrite for
the Presidency among the Democrats. Mr.
Chief Justice Chase was their dread. This
year, even Mr. Seymour was the advocate
of the candidacy of Mr. Chief JUstice
Chase as a funny candidate of the Demo
cratic party. The idea wis not accepted.
Mr. Seymour himself was put in nomina
tion by the very interest to which he had
shown himself most bitterly opposedhe
party that insist on paying off the `five
twenties in greenbacks. He has accepted
the platform, and must sink or swim with it.
"Affairs are very remarkably mixed. up.
Men may be excused for getting their heads
Muddled. 'We are called on to support a
candidate, on national grounds, that was
himself avowedly in favor of another candi
date, most antagonistic to all decent and
proper ideas of Federal government.
"We acknowledge that this affair is 'mud
dled.' Our correspondence is of a 'charac
ter to excite our alarm. There is no use of
disguising the fact that there is distrust and
disaffection among 'very many Democrats."
So the Philadelphia Press says
"An association of Irish citizens is about
being formed in this city for the purpose of
promoting the election of Grant and Colfax.
This movement is the harbinger a better
times for Ireland. When she comes to
recognize the fact that her true friends can.
only be found among the friends of freedom,
her future brightens."
THE Copperhead journals are- suddenly
down on. General J. Bowman Sweitzer, and
say_that he hasn't influence enough to con,
trol his own vote. That's funky, isn't it,
especially as he had enough of it two years
ago to control a Democratic nomination for.
Congress. The circumstances being altered
