Reports are telegraphed from here about Mr.
Blaines letter of acceptance which smack more
of fiction than of fact The letter has not yet
been put in shape, and whatever about it has
been published has not come from Mr.. Blaine, or
gone out with his consent. 1t is safe to say that
he is in hearty accord with what is laid down in
the national platform, because he has so ex-
pressed himself. 1t would not seem unlikely
however that, from his welknown views on
American politics and governmental policy, his
letter will place the Republican party on a
higher plane of progress than ever in its admin
istration of the government, and will be a
mastery state paper in all its length and
breadth 1t will be given to the Associated
Press as soon as it is proper that it should be
nublished

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS.
They Have Majority of the Votes, and Will
Insist on a Fair Count.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 2Z-Congressman Tyre
York. of North Carolina, is the Republican can
didate for Governor of that State. Speaking of
Republican prospects in that State, he says: 81
am confident that we can carry the State for the
Republican nominees We have a majority of
10000 on fair count, and this year it is the
purpose of the Republicans to see that a fair
count is obtained The manner Of defeating the
Republicans heretofore has been this: In pre-
cinet where the negroes were thick and the
Republicans had a majority of say seven or
eight hundred some one would get in and steal
the registration lists on the day before election.
The Bourbons would set up a great cry
because they had been deprived of the privilege
of voting, knowing perfectly well that the lists
had been stolen by one of their own number.
Of course there could be no vote; and, while the
Democrats lost their opportunity for voting, the
Republicans, who were in the majority, were
cheated out of an honest majority. This plan
has, however, worked itself out, and we intend
TO protect voters this yearin such manner that
all votes will be counted and all voters have the
opportunity of voting The outlook for the
redemption of the State is excellent. Blaine
and Logan are exceedingly popular, and know
that in spite Of all the bray Of the Democrats,

Gen. GorGon,. sI,Ua,,on ~ pr,n,

Gen. Gordon, who was sent out by the
British government to try to settle tho dis
turbed affairs in the Soudan, finds himself
left to his own resources, with little hope of
relief for months to come. Indeed, no evil
IDENTIFY feels himself practically deserted by
his government, and in a despatch to Sir
Samuel Baker he plaintively appeals to him
to know II he does not think ''if an appeal
was made to the mllionnaires of England
and the United States for GOO 900 il would
be available'-a suggestion which ought to
sting English pride. How much the IRE
sources with which Con. Gordon is surround
ed at khartoum are worth may be inferred
from the detailed accounts Of the fighting
near Khartoum on the 10th of March. On
that day force Of 1000 Egyptian troops, in.
Guiding Bashi Bazouks and drilled Soudan.
ese, all well armed, went out to attack an un-
disciplined and Harmed Arab force of about
the same numerical strength. At first the
Arabs retired, but at length a small body Of
Arab horsemen, not more than sixty all told,
turned and charged upon the Egyptians. The
latter fed in wild confusion Their two Cen
erals, Hassan Pasha and Said Pasha, broke
through the ranks of their own soldiers, and
one Of them cut down with his sword an ar
tilleryman who was training gun upon the
Arabs. Over 200 Egyptians were killed by
the little company Of Arab horsemen, their
wounds being uniformly in the back. To cap
the climax, after the Arabs retired, laden with
booty, the troops whom they had Just beaten
raided friendly village opposite KhartOum,
killed some of the peaceful inhabitants, and
plundered them of their property, all Of
which was done within full view of Gen.
Gordou's headquarters at Khartoum. This
incident indicates the kind of fighting mate
rial Gen. Gordon has in his command. Mon.
ey he has none, as his despatch to Sir Sam
uel Baker shows. As to the probabilities of
an escape from Khsrtoum to the north, the
unhappy fate of the fugitives from Shendy
every one of whom was massacred, is suffi-
oiently ominous

Nor SAFE MAN TO Fool WITH. -Secre-
tary Robert 4. Lincoln is enforcing the strict
and wholesome discipline for which he has
become famous in high circles by calling for
a court of inquiry into the conduct of Brig
Gen. Swain, judge advocate general of tho
army. Less than ten days ago A. Z. Bate
man, the head of a banking firm in Washing
ton, wrote to Mr.. Lincoln charging that Gen.
Swain had deposited $1,000 in his banking
house, taking for it note or due bill that
he drew out all the money by drafts, and
then negotiated aud transferred the note for
the full amount with other bankers. Bateman
also charged Swain with negotiating army
pay accounts, knowing them to be fraudu-
lent. Bateman gave these charges also to the
press, but the very next day wrote to Secre-
tary Lincoln Withdrawing them and annCunc-
ing that his differences with Swain had been
satisfactorily settled" Such a settlement,
however was not satisfactory to Mr.. Lincoln,
and he demanded an explanation of Gen.
Swain, didn't get one that helped matters
any, and forthwith ordered a court Of inquiry.
The son of Abraham Lincoln is evidently a
dangerous man to fool with.
