NEW YORK, August G.-The Tribune now es-
Inmates Merrimon's majority from its dispatches
which nearly cover the whole OF North Carolina,
at ,S11.
The Worlds Raleigh dispatches says the cleo
ton VIII be very close; that If Caldwell obtains
the same ratio of gain in the counties TO be
heard from, he will be elected by a very small
vote. Onslow county gives Merrimon a gain of
400, which makes his chances more favorable.
The Heralds Raleigh dispatches says it will
take the official vote to decide. The democratic
and republican gains came in alternately, caus-
ing excitement and suspense. If Caldwell is
declared elected, Merrimon will contest. An
estimate made by Mr.. Phillips, chairman of the
republican state central committee, giving the
State to Caldwell by 400 majority, is generally
discredited. No confidence is to be placed on
reports of majOrities on one side or the other.
Cobb, republican, has a majority in the first
district of 1000; Thomas, republican, in the
second district, probably has 1000 majority;
Smith, republican, in the fourth district has
500 majority; Waddell democrat, in the third
district, has 200; Leach, democrat, in the fifth
district, COO, and Ashe, democrat, in the seventh
district, and Vance, democrat, in the eighth
district, are elected by large majOrities. The
dispatches of Collector Young to the Timss claim
the State for the republicans.
WILMINGTON, n. c., August 6.-The following
are official majOrities New Hanover revised
1862 for CALDWELL; Brunswick, 80 for Caldwell;
OnslOw, 400 for Merrimon. The official vote of
but few counties can be obtained here, as nearly
all have been sent to Raleigh. The conserva-
uyes here are all very hopeful, relying on the
western counties to elect Merrimon. Many
leading republicans concede Merrimon's cleo
ton by a small majority. The Star and the
Journal both claim Merrimon's election by
about 800 majority.
RALEIGH, n. c., August 6.-Offcial returns
to-day from the counties already heard from
change but little in the aggregate estimate here
tOfore given. The democrats still hold some $50
on Ships democratic majority of 1870. There
are eleven counties to hear from, which coun-
ties will hold the vote OF 1870.
The republicans are respondent to-day, and
the democrats hopeful, both parties figuring
with apprOXimating results. Information from
the west this evening will doubtless decide the
matter with chances, at present, in favor OF
Merrimon.

MR.. SUMNER REPLIES TO Mr.. BLAINE
MIR. Sumner has written a letter in reply to one
recently addressed him by Speaker Blaine, in
which he says: "YOu are greatly concerned
about the company keep. To quiet your So
icitude beg leave to say that, in joining
the republicans who brought forward an Origi-
nal abolitiOnist, L find myself with so many
others devoted to the cause have served always
that had hot missed you until you fastened to
report absence" He deplores the hostile spirit
which has existed the seven years since the war,
during which time the rights OF colored citizens
have been in perpetual question and expressed
the belief that a new life and new spirit will
exist. He thinks the support OF Greeley by the
democrats Is an assurance that the cause he has
so constantly guarded is accepted by the demo-
Gratis, and that it is pledge of true union be-
yOnd anything in history-a victory of ideas.
he accuses Speaker Blaine of attempting to
avoid the real issue by holding up the possibility
OF democratic administration, and after eulO-
giving Greeley at some length, says he prefers
Horace Greeley, with any Congress possible on
the Cincinnati platform, to President Grant,
with his pretensions and his rings. In conclu-
sion he says: "The personal imputation you
make upon me repel with the indignation OF
an honest man. l was faithful supporter OF
tie President until somewhat tardily awakened
by his painful conduct on the island OF st. Do
mingO." He does notdoubt that when partisan
sentiments are less active Speaker Blaine will
regret the wrong he has done him.
