The Camilla Riot.

The New York Herold says, editori
ly, that the Governor Of Alabama is
certainly not far wrong in his notion
that more national troops are unnecessa-
rv in that State. The presence of go
600 troops in Alabama 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 H.
undeniably clear that the negro pro-
vokcd the disturbance.
They marched with their Radical
leaders with music and arms into a
quiet town COMFORTING themselves in
an offensive manner. Making a bully
ing expedition, and the menace Of theil
conduct was met as if it were real.-
Niggers will see by this example that il
is not yet safe to bully white men, and
that will prevent collisions.

Presidential Estimate, by a Rad


Tho New York RoUnd 7dJle is pa
per of decided Radical proclivities, but
still able to view matters with much
less iaundiced vision than most Journals
of that persuasion. In late number it
utters the following language
Our conviction was freely-expressed
at the time of, the New York nomina-
ton, that in selecting Governor Sey-
mour for their standard bearer, the
democrats had set the seal Of their own
defeat. Did we Judge mercly,from i'll
dications on the surface, this conviction
might remain unchanged. We have,
however. become persuaded that there
is powerful undercurent Of popular
dissatisfaction with Radical measures
which is gaining rather than losing
strength with the passage of time, and
that consequently the chances which we
at present estimate as nearly even, may
incline in November, in vigorous de-
gree to the Democratic side. y

to increase from day to day.
1t is probable that at this moment
twenty-five per cent of the voters who
will participate III the coming election
have not yet resolved for whom their
ballots shall be cast. Upon the votes
OF this fraction the issue probably hangs,
and circumstances may stillfall out as to
throw the prcpondcranc on the Repub-
lican side. From present indications,
however we are led to believe that the
three great States Of New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio will throw them
selves into the scale for Seymour and
Blair, and should they do SO, not all the
hosts of New England, backed as they
may be by the West and South. by vo-
tiers black or white. constitutional or
unconstitutional, will avail to prevent
the Republican forces from kicking the
beam.
In addition to the above. we may add
that several other Republican prints
have recently expressed grave doubts
Of the result. For ourstlf. we win. not
insult the good sense of our readers by
asserting that we feel entirely confident
of the election Of Seymour and Blair.
But we do know that our friends in the
Middle and Western States are confident
