HIILE-OnETUARY.

The Clarksyille Chronicle Of the 9Th
brings intelligence Of the death of Dr. E.
b Haskins, of that city This event has
been expected for some months, but its
announcement carries none the less re-
greet to the extensive circle of acqaintan-
ces who knew and admired the many
endowments and sterling virtues Of which
the deceased was possessed.
For many years DR. Haskins has oc-
cupied an eminent position in the ranks
of the medical profession, a position
achieved by the sedulous employment of
a high order Of natural abilities in the
field of scientific research, as well as in
laborious devotion to a large practice in
one Of the most intelligent communities
in the State. He was enthusiastically
attached to medical science, and pur-
sued its study with the aim and in the
style that should animate the true ply
stefan His contributions to the
first medical journals of the coun-
try were able and valuable. He
was for several terms the President of
the State Medical Society, and for three
wears held the chair of Theory and Prac-
tice of Medicine in Shelby Medical Coli
lege in this city As a teacher he was
ever full and accurate in information,
and clear in his discourses without at
tempt at ambitious diction The order
Of his merit was analytic, and presented
his subject always in the simplest form
His efforts in this department were a
great success
Joined to these qualities were bland
and digni6ed courtesy which bespoke
the polished gentleman as we'll as the
learned physician, and gained him in
whatever circle he was cast, commands
ing influence BY his death, the imme-
date community where he lived, have
lost one of its most valued citizens, and
the noble science of medicine one Of its
noblest votaries

Adjournment of the Virginia COnVen-
ton. etc. etc

RICHMOND, April 1S.-The convention
adjourned at midnight, subject 10 the call
of the committee. Only the President and
Secretary signed the Constitution. 4 reso-
luton had been adopted dispensing with
the signing by the members. 1t is under
stood that the convention woHld have re-
fused TO sign it. Among the Republicans
voting against its final adoption was one
negro. After the adjournment, speeches
were made, and Mr.. Porter, a leading Re
publican, predicted the adoption OF the
Constitution by large majority Messrs.
Sneed and Allen, also leading Republi-
cans, predicted its defeat, and said it would
be deserved. Mr.. Sneed opposed it mainly
on the ground Of Its fraudulent character
on the homestead exemption, aud Mir.
Allen because It placed white men under
the negro.
Gen. Scho6eld has suspended j. II. Cal
vert, the State Treasurer, on charges pre-
tered by the Governor, and appointed Jas.
Rice, Secretary Of the convention, Treas
ursr sd interim.

recently had a difficulty with a negro in
Tuscaloosa, in which he cut the negro with
knife. Mr.. r. learning his arrest was or

be committed TO prison, and remain there
until discharged by military commission.
Mr. r. was promised a speedy investiga-
ton by military commission.

The McGee Assassination.

OTTAWA, April 18.-The investigation
in the assassination case was resumed this
morning. The counsel for the Crown, act
ing under instructions from the government
has excluded every person not interested
in the case from the court, including ali
members Of the press.
1t was discovered this morning that a
piece Of iron used a. a supporter for some
pipes which pass through the prisoners
cell had been taken of. The prisoner was
at once searched, when piece Of iron nine
inches long was found concealed under his
arm and between his two shirts. This cir
cumstance does not tend to lessen the sue
picion against him.
The detectives admit that since yester-
day the most important evidence against
Whelan has been obtained.
A large number of persons have suddenly
left Ottawa, anticipating that evidence i'm
plicating them in McGee's assassination is

NEW ORLEANS, April l7.-Everythiug
passed off quietly in the city to-day. Very
few arrests were made, and voting pro-
gressed briskly in the different precincts,
crowds surrounding every poll
At Gretna, opposite the city, aslight dis
turbance occurred about the polls. The
Commissioner at once closed the office, and
sent word TO headquarters. A company Of
the first inisntry went over and restored
quiet.
In CarrolltOn a more serious trouble oc-
Cured. A man named Schwab, delegate
to the late convention, and now a Radical
candidate for Sheriff, was arrested for car
Tying concealed weapons. An attempt at
rescue was made, and in the melee which
ensued negro was shot through both jaws,
probably fatally. Three loaded revoivers
were found upon Schwab's person.
A special dispatch from Monroe, La,
states that great injustice toward Demo-
Gratis is practiced by the Commissioners of
Election in that town, the right Of chal-
lenge being denied them.
The vote in Carrolton to-day shows over
200 black majority.
In the fourth district of this city the
Democrats are thus far considerably ahead.
1t is impossible TO give accurate returns
from the other three districts.
The ballot boxes are locked up over
night in the station-houses, under guard of
the deputy sheriff and one from each
party.

North Carolina Aaairs.

WILMINGTON, April 18.-The campaign
is closing amid unparalleled excitement,
both parties making desperate efforts for
success. Business will be almost suspended
during the election, which commences next
Tuesday in the cities and large towns. Ne
groes will vote the Radical ticket almost
en- masse, while in the country districts a
considerable number will remain away from
the polls. The vote will exceed that on
the convention question by at least $4,000.
Total registered votes, now 10000.
The Radicals claim that the ratification
of the Constitution will bring peace and
prosperity to the State; but the Conserva-
tives, consisting of four-ffths of the white
men of the State, demand its rejection.
Mr.. Holden will probably run coasidera-
bly, behind the vote for the Constitution.
The feeling between the white and black
races throughout the State is more bitter
than at any previous period.

headquarters, from Fort Felterman, Da-
kota territory, contained the following ::
The mail from Fort Reno was attacked by
Indians the 10th Of March, at the Dry
Forks of Powder river, but no loss was
sustained. The Indians captured a six
mule team, on the Goth of March, three
miles from the post. The Indians attacked
Browns camp, on Box Elder creek, 18th

TIE rR,nr WIN THE TAG.

One Bates, an ex Sergeant of the vol
unteer Federal army, a month or two ago
went down from the Northwest 10 Vickso
burg 10 commence a pedestrian tour
from that latter place to Washington
city, proposing on wager to carry the
United States flag, Zone that had been
borne in.battle, we believe through the
fiercest portion Of the burnt district,
unsullied and unframed This he has
done, and on his journey was oyated and
ovated without stint The feat was cons
cluded the other day at the Washington
National Monument, with grand spec
tacular' reception, and more speedily
ing. Bates has won his bet, and that's
all.
This was proper enough thing, If he
had nothing else to do, and to say the
least of IT, the Sergeant was more cred
itably and proftably employed than
many Of his former comrades. Better be
carving the national bunting, on one
shoulders, and in small way, cultivas
ting the restoration Of good feeling, than
to be cumming about for office, and
waving It in the faces Of ignorant negroes
as bait for their votes But we confess
to no great admiration for the performs
ance, and think that an undue sig
nifcance has been attached to it. 1t
savored too much Of the clap-trap so
often seen in that section which,
on accOuot Of "the late unpleasant
ness" has come to regard itself
as the sole proprietor Of the flag 1t was
too plainly made up business to have
any salutary influence on the minds of
the Northern people, or to be regarded
as evidence Of the restored loyalty (blast
the word, Of the Southern people. And
besides, flags do well enough for ships
and armies, and gala dayprocessions, and
the Fourth of July but when the souls
of a great people are stirred with the
solution Of earnest questions, and they
are being tried in the furnace Of oppres-
sion, they are trivial That is time for
substantials and not symbols merely.
The North may send flag as big as a
Courthouse square for every soldier it
put in the field, and strew them "thick as
autumn leaves in Vallambrosa's vale
and they will be treated with all the re-
spect due to them as symbols of the gov
ernments authority. The people of the
South have no war against the nation
now, but they are suffering from the
merciless and mercenary hostility of
vile party that has attained supreme
power in it. So far as Sergeant Bates
and the men who have encouraged
and made much ado over his excursion,
have sought to show that the South con
tanned a patient, submissive and greatly
abused people, and by such evidence to
abate the rigor of the rule to which they
are subjected we give them credit The
affair, however, was not calculated to do
this, and moreover, has elected the taunt
and ridicule Of the Radical press, rather
than its commentator and given cause
to have the flag esteemed "a Haunting
lie, as Horace Greeley once called 1t
