WASHINGTON, June 1S-The following
Il Senator Wilson's letter Of acceptance
OF the Philadelphia nomination:
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1872-06-06
rhc Missing Iiocords.

The Washington correspondent of the SYRIA
cuse Journal writes: An attempt, which would
never have had any ground TO stand upon had
the investigation been public instead of private,
has been made to fasten upon persons connected
with the president the charge Of misusing the
war department records, and causing the disap-
pearance Of the Buell. court martial papers. A
great deal has been said in condemnation of the
alleged action which would be just, except the
charges are not true Certain papers were taken
away by Gen. Badeau when he went to England
Some of them have not been returned. Now
out of these facts the charge is built up that
war department records have been carried off,
and important matter illustrating the history of
the war and having important bearing upon the
conduct of certain officers, have been destroyed
with a purpose 10 oblterate everything which
might injure the military fame of the president.
These ISLANDERS will be short lived for the publ
cation of the evidence will show that the papers
which Badeau took away were copies merely,
and that the originals are all now properly in
their places and have been ever since they were
first placed on file.
General Grant was in the habit of having cop
les made of all official papers coming to or ema-
mating from his headquarters for his own use,
SO that when the war ended and his headquar-
terS records were sent to the war department,
there were duplicates of every one of his official
papers. 1t was because these papers were in
duplicate, and on no other ground, that Badeau
was permitted to take some of them by General
Rawlins, while he was secretary of war. IL they
never come back the department records will
still remain unmutilated and unchanged except
by the loss of the Buell. papers. These the notes
OF Ben Pittman, the stenographer, will supply
in full. There is not the slightest reason to
suppose that Badeau took these. Buell. himself
testifies that they did not reflect on General
Grant, or refer to HIM in any manner. It is
suggested if Colonel Moore, Andy Johnson's
private secretary, were to be examined he
might give some information on the subject
which would show how these papers were dis
posed of. Ii the testimony had been taken in
public, the Misrepresentation that have been
made would not have succeeded so long as they
have,

The vsce Presidency.

20 much has been said in the newspapers
WITHIN nih u rev days respecting Senator Wilson's
eanuluacy ior vice presidency, that short state
hleht VI the reasons which frs, persuaded him
70 DC candidate may not be inappropriate. In
September, 1870, Mr.. Coliax wrote VERY strong
letter to the New York independent. STATING his
determination 10 retire from public life AZ The
close of his present term Of Office. Tho Ian.
guage was very strong and unequiyoeal and II
bore the impress OF sincerity. Shortly after This
Mr.. Wilson, OF Massachusetts, called on Mr.
Colfax, and asked him frankly and earnestly II
lie meant what he said. YES" said tIolfax, 81
do. ! shall, under no circumstance be candi.
date for reelection, aud shall never seek or ac
eept any other political office whatsoever.
"Yery wei" said Wilson, III that is so / shall
be candidate for the vice presidency" Thii
was only in answer to the solicitations of bis
friends, who, from the first appearance of the
Coliax letter, had urged him TO be candidate.
Among them were included, think, nearly
every republican senator and a majority of the
members Of the house. Mr. Wilson always in
sisted that he wound not be candidate while
Iollax remained in the field, and he even re-
fused to allow the use of his name until that
Gentleman had given him his own assurance of
withafawal. This was In the fall OF 1870. In
