RocKLAND, Me-, AUG, 16.-The

RocK1AND, Me-, Aug. 16.-The
schooner D. H. Ingraham, of this
port, hence for Richmond, Va, at 2
o'clock Saturday morning, about two
miles off White Island, ran down
what appeared to be a fishing craft of
twenty tons and sank her, as is sup
posed, with all on board. Night was
over the cost and dark, but clear
enough to see lights in the vicinity,
and the wind was fresh from the
southwest. The small craft had no
light and was not seen till
the collision. The Ingraham
lay by and searched till af-
ter sunrise. She found nothing
but some tubs of the wreck. The
Ingraham returned to this port to
report the disaster and repair her
slight damages. It is supposed the
sunken vessel was from Booth bay,
with crew of three men, which had
been noticed the previous day.

Card From ..ADemocrat.,

MR.. EDITOR: Candid Investigation"
'honest and fckle," who has been ION
both sides" of the election controversy, on
Saturday thought and wrote that $50 far
there is no occasion to charge Mr.. Reeder
with corruption or even with error in the
premises" He thinks it was right for him
to follow the certificate and not the tallies
from the 1st ward, because tally sheets are
not required by law to be certified and filed
and certificates are.
But suppose tally sheets are required and
certific .tes not. What then? vii" /"
not then reverse his judgment? Logic will
require it, certainly of honesty and fckle-
ness. Let him then look at section 86l of
the Code of Tennessee for the law requir-
ing what are in common parlance termed
"tally-sheets," and then let him hunt
through the whole code to see if he can
find any express requirement for certificates
by the judges of election as to the number
of votes polled for each candidate, and if
he can let him inform US; if not then per-
haps he will review his judgment on this
ward
Again, &c l." thinks Mr.. Reeder las
done nothing in regard TO the 9Th ward GER
tifcate that he wishes to keep from
the public, and that all il right there.
why theh mas he Kept 1t from the pubic I
Why has he even mutilated return and
allowed supplement to be substituted? !?
Every presumption is against a man who
alters or mutilates papers or documents
On this subject will &c. l." not consult
Greenleaf's Evidence, section 5648, and
then, remembering that the alteration is
made the ground of Mr.. +. of changing a
vote in favor of his party candidate, will
he not be candid here too and make the
presumption the law requires
Lastly, G. L. concludes Mr.. r. was
| right in counting for Gossett IS votes in the
9th ward because some one told him it was
85. He concludes the sheriff must act upon
the fee of the returns. What are the re-
turns? Not the certificate nor summary, nor
figures on the sheet merely, but the tally
sheet as well, if not solely. When, there
fore, it appeared doubtful whether the
figures were 81 or IS, why did MIR. Il. not
do as was done by the returning board,''
on Friday after the election, or as any one
else would do-look to the tallieS? These
are the face of the returns, and the word

ASSASSINATION.

RALEIGH, N. G., Aug. 16.-Reliable
information has just been received
of the assassination of Gen. Bryan
Grimes, on the 14th inst, near his
home, in Pitt county. Rumor says
he was riding in his buggy along the
highway when he was shot dead by
some one concealed in the bushes.
The murderer is supposed to have
been negro or white man, against
both of whom Gen. Grimes was an
important witness in an arson
case. the scene of the mur-
der being remote from tele-
graphic communication, the particu-
lars have not yet been obtained.
Gen. Grimes was a very prominent
citizen and reached by his high SOL

CHICAGO, Ills, Aug. 1.-THE peo-
pie of this city arose at an unusually
early hour this morning and were on
the streets in their holiday array.
All of Cooke county concentrated
within the city limits. All night
long thousands from every direction
had been pouring in. There are san
guine people who estimate the popu-
lation to-day at little less than one
million. The morning proved to be
clear and warm. A multitude of
people thronged Wabash avenue,
where the best view of the
procession was likely to be
had. Along the route, some
miles in length, there were elaborate
decorations. Nearly every house on
the line has some temporary balcony
erected in it's front Pursuant to

BENZ. F. Haller commanding, was
composed of eight divisions. Ac-
cording to programme the process
sion was to have NOV ed at $50,
but it was past ten o'clock
before the commotion on Lake street
indicated that the Templars VIC %
starting. Their personel was strik-
ing and perhaps unequalled. When
the word was given the column

only between them. The COM

Times Have Ohangad.

Times have indeed changed when n
clergyman Of an Orthodox Calvinistic
church, Doctor Of Divinity, in good
aud regular standing, can learlessly put
mis- name to such an essay as the Rev.
DR.. W. II. Ward contributed in a late
IHdepCHdeHt. In this essay it Is asserted
in So many woris, or clearly implied.
that some Of the Psalms are revoltinr
to the instincts If Christian people,
especially women; that the history,
philosophy, and science Of the Bible are
alike faulty; that the story Of the crea-
tion and fall Of man in Genesis is not a
record of actual occurrences, and that
Paul, no accepted and used 90 as his
torically true, was mistaken. The Rev.
DR.. Ward has the courage Of his opiu-
ions. Fancy with what faces and feel
iug5 his ecclesiastical ancestors, abe
Puritan diviues Of early New England,
would have read such words as these:
eve DO know that a commandment
given on Sinai assumes as a reason for
working six days aud resting on the
seventh that God made the heavens aud
earth in six days aud rested on tie sew
enth but We know that this story is
not historically correct. The world was
not made in six days
The question thus raised anew by tie
Rev. DR.. Ward is of vastly greater inn
porauce than that as 10 the cOmnara-
i've merits as trauslatious Of the King
James version and the Revised Version
over which some Of his brother doctors
are rather pTematureiy getting by the
ears. Briefly, this light OF Orthodoxy
atlirms that the Bible is not To be woT-
SHIPPED, tut studied that its statements
are not TO be implicitly received with
an omuiverous faith, but that the error
is 20 be sifted ont Of the truth. And he
afr ms further that his opinions are
shared by a large section of the most
learned and pious teachers Of Orthodox
American Professionalism. If he is right
IN this, The fact is interesting in Itself
aud in its suggestious-Er.
