S0- Governor Harris having arrived
at Nashville on Sunday last, from Liver
pool on the 9th, and in good health,
called at the gubernatorial mansion and
scraped up an old acquaintance with
Brownlow. The Nashville Banner gives
the following account of the interview ::
During the morning, in company with
his friend General Dunlap, Governor
Harris called upon Governor Brownlow,
and the meeting between the Ex-Governor
and his successor wasSin the highest de-
gree cordial, affable and mutually salts.
factory. i
Said Governor H., in his characteristic
cally frank and informal way, shaking
hands with Governor Brewnlow, " Well,
Governor, / have just arrived, and am
here to give myself up" He was met in
the same spirit of frankness by Governor
Brownlow, and the conversation which
ensued between them was of general
character, without any allusion to
political matters, past or present, but
mutually good natured, afable and
pleasant. Governor Harris remarked
that, of course, after so long an absence,
be was anxious to see his family, but
rather than give the authorities any
trouble in finding him he would defer
his visit home, if necessary. Governor
Brownlow considered the delay entirely
and when Governor Har-
ris ventured the suggestion jocu-
larly, that if, during the absence
of Judge Trigg, he should happen to fall
into the hands of the marshal, it would,
perhaps, be the duty of that officer to
keep him in close confinement until fur
Their orders, Governor Brownlow re-
sponded quickly: "Ah, well, if the
marshal troubles you, send him to me
I'll claim exclusive authority over you
for the time being" Governor Har.
ris thanked him for his courtesy and
kindness, and took occasion also to
express his grateful acknowledgment of
Governor B. s kindly mention of himself
and family in his late message, knowl-
edge of which had reached him through
his friend, General Dunlap. He then
took leave of Governor Brownlow, and
returned to his hotel, and left the city on
the 4 o'clock pm. train of the same day
for his old home at Paris, West TeEnes-
see, where his family are at present re-
siding. He is not determined yet in his
own mind where he will establish himself
permanently, but from his remarks on
the subject Of his future plans, we infer
that he will locate in Memphis, and prac-
tice in the courts of that vicinity.

WASHINGTON.

New YoRK, November 27.-The Tr6-
bune's Washington dispatch says the
State Department has been for some
time past endeavoring to negotiate for
the purchase of some of the Danish West
India Islands. 1t is now stated that St.
Thomas and st. John have been bought,
subject to the approval of the United
States'Senate To ascertain the sentiment
of the inhabitants relative to the con
templated change from the Danish to the
United States Government, Rev. M.
Hawlin was commissioned to proceed
there some time ago. His mission was
very satisfactory, and in his report he
states that nearly all the inhabitants are
favorable to annexation to this country.
The rumor that an expedition had sailed
to take possession of the island is absurd.
The vote of the House on the resola-
ton instructing the Committee on Banks
aRd Banking to report bill providing
for the withdrawal of the National Bank
currency and substituting therefor green
backs, is regarded as very significant of
the temper Of the House.
The Ways and Means Committee in
tend taking up at an early day the ques-
ton of contraction, and report in accor-
dance with the resolution referred to
them to-day. They will also take up the
question Of repeating the cotton tax.
The wool interests are said to be strongly
opposed to this tax, as it will materially
interfere with the production Of wool.
The Judiciary Committee at their
next meeting will take up the bill re.
ferred to them, providing for the suspen-
sion of the President pending the i'm
parchment. The bill is general one in
its character, and it is the opinion of
many Of the Senators and members that
some legislation should be adopted ex-
planatory of the Constitution of the
United States on the subject 1t is
doubtful if the committee will report
fayorably on the bill.

brought by Farren a Mclean, of the
Enquirer, to resist the Comfy Treas
urer's collection of tax assessed upon
$3l, 900 of greenbacks as so much CAPT
tai, was decided against the tax. 1t was
held that greenbacks we're but form of
loan, and, like all other loans of the
United States, we're exempt from State
taxation.
The testimony in the recent railroad
disaster is being taken before the Coroner
and . jury. The jury will visit the
scene of the accident this morning, and
the inquest will probably be concluded
this evening.
