GOING TO PIECES.

A Washington special of the 18th,
says: "Southern Republicans now
here look upon the recent action of
the Republican party in Mississippi as
a forerunner of gen: al movement
through the Southern States. Colo
mel Musgrave and Judge George Har-
ris, of Mississippi, have received let
ters from Jackson, informing them
that the Republican Executive Com
mittee of that State met recently and
disbanded the party, voted against
making any nomination, approved the
Southern policy and adjourned sine
die. 1t is believed that the Rcpubli-
cans of Georgia and Alabama will fol-
low suit on disbsnding without nom-
nations, thus practically yielding up
the field to the Democracy on local is
sues, which are all that enter into the
approaching canvass. In conyersa-
ton with Judge Harris, the present
Conservative Republican Attorney
General of Mississippi, it is learned
that this course has been decided up
as the only sensible one in view of the
complete control the Democrats have
over all branches of the State Govern
ment.
