an odious Identification in the present instance and
we are surprised the more that the Bonner should

From the above it viii be seen that only four
teen hundred and ninety-one dollars and fifty cents
have been received outside Of Davidson county
which has subscribed four thousand dollars making
in all but ftyfour hundred and ninety-One dollars
and fifty cents, is 1850 whereas ten thousand
is necessary to carry out the enterprise. 1t will,
therefore. be seen that unless the counties that
have not responded come up and do something,
and others increase their subscription, the enter
prise must fail which all would very much regret.
We therefore, hope the friends in the different
counties viii take immediate and energetic action
in this matter, and thereby secure success. The
Democracy of Tennessee will certainly not permit
the word fail = to be written across their brow
in such an undertaking. G. C. ToRBETT,

tFrom the Washington Correspondents Of the New York Times
WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 5.
The Developments Of to-day have been an inter-
ment OF the Black Republican Party proper, and
the birth of a new Mulatto Party, to consist Of Re
DubIicans and Southern Americans The programme
is that Mr. Bates Of Missouri, shall be the Presiden
tal nominee Of this alliance which, it is thought,
will avoid the charge of sectonalism; Simeon Cam
eron of Pennsylvania for Vice President. which
with Forneys aid is expected to make sure of that
State and New Jersey and Mr.. Seward has consent
ed to accent the English Mission. with an under
standing that on his return after the lapse of four
years from his Rochester speech he shall be taken
up as the candidate for the succession. This pro-
gramme is founded on positive information and FOrs
nev has been the engineer Of the alliance. The Re-
r1iblicans will not move for Committees of Inquiry
into the Departments but will follow the example
set BY Mr. Ogle. of Pennsylvania, IN 1874 when he
moved directly for COMMITTEES of Inquiry on Mar
tin Van Buren's action. There will BE three Com
nittees: one to examine the President touching the
contract for Postofice blanks, and other contracts
which he NAV have directed; another to investigate
the action of the President with reference to the
CHICAGO and other POstofhces: and third to exam
inc and report upon the agencies used by the Presi
dent and Vice President TO carry the LecOmptOn
bin through both Houses. Col F0rney has enlisted
coalition" as it has to-day been Christened. lie
pleads that to strike at the Departments would
merely be to lop the branches, and wOuld crafty
tbe President who regards every Cabinet officer
rival against his denomination or that o. Breckln-
ridge By striking at the President in person, the
root of the evil will be reached, and the develop
nepts in the POstOffice and Contract Departments

EDMOND ABOUT in bis new book, the
" King of the Mountain" gives the follow
ing account Of John Harris, an American
Adventurer in Greece:
The first time I saw this strange fellow I
comprehended America. John was born at
Vandalia, in Illinois. He inhaled at his birth
that air of the New World, so vivacious, so
sparkling, and so brisk, that it goes to the
head like champagne wine, and one gets in.
toxicated in breathing it. know not whether
the Harris family are rich or poor; whether
they sent their son to college or left him to get
his own education. It is certain that at twenty.
seven yeats he depends only on himself, trusts
only on himself, trusts only to himself, is as.
tonished at nothing, thinks nothing impossible.
never thinks, believes all things, hopes ali
things, tries all things, triumphs in all things.
and rises up again if he falls, begins again il
he fails, never stops, never loses courage. and
goes right ahead whstling his tune. He has
been q farmer, q schoolmaster. q lawyer, q
journalist, o gold hunter, manufacturer, q
merchant; he has read everything, seen every
thing. practiced everythir g, and travelled over
more than half the globe. When made his
acquaintance he was commanding q steam
yacht in the Piraus. with 8 xty men and four
guns; he was discussing the Oriental question
ia The North American Review; he was doing
business with an indigo house in Calcutta. and
he found leisure to some three or four times a
week to dine with us.
