The Republican Programme in Mis-
sissippi.
Philadelphia SUM-
JOHN =. HARRI;

Philadelphia Sun.
A letter before US from Holly Springs
says that the Republican party will proba-
bly, endorse Il mixed or fusion ticket com
posed of Anti-Bourbon, free ballot and fair
counting Democrats, Greenbackers, indie
pendents, and Republicans. This move if
successful, will effectuaIIy destroy the bull
doing element of the State. If the Adj
ministration had promptly and bravelv re-
cognized Southern Republicans, and called
them to the front, it would have given life
and hope to the independent element that
always goes with what appears to BE- the
successful party. Thousands of Democrats
would have voted with the mixed or fusion
ticket if the Administration had shown in
terest in it. There are men of ability and
integrity, possessing the confidence of the
state who will take any position of leader
ship to which they may be assigned One
Of these is General Fitzgerald, of Vicksburg
soldier and hero, lawyer of prominence,
and gentleman universally respected. IF
he should be called on to lead the conglomer-
ate opposition to Bourbonism, we do not
doubt that he would make as gallant, as able
As honorable, aud as successful Il fight as ever
has been witnessed in Mississippi We hap
pen to know that the Administration, and
many leading Republicans Of the North,
hold General Fitzgerald very high in their
leSai u, anu Ih0y MoOlo iehuei nun anu tue
party that would follow his lead, every as
sstance in their power. Nobody doubts
that with full vote and a fair count,
Mississippi would Immediately take her stand
with the commemorative that declare for
Freedom, Political Equality, the Law and
Progress.
We publish the foregoing in order
that our readers may have one view of
the Republican programme in our Safe.
Our own opinion, however, is that all
the elements of opposition will be COM
bined in favor of an Independent Dem
ocratic or Greenback ticket.

PEOPLE wonder very often to what pur-
pose the immense amount of money 10 the
world can be put. Bya review of statistics,
dry looking they are too, but intensely inter-
esting when you begin their perusal and
study-by this review we find that litee docs
the world think what tremendous capital is
required to carry on its travel, traffic and
commerce. The railroad net. woven all over
the g,obe, consists of 1000 0 miles; Asia,
Australia and Africa can claim only the
fourteenth part, the other thirteen-fcur-
teenths being nearly equally divided
between Europe and America.
The rolling-stock in use over
this railroad net consists of $4,000 loeomo-
tives, 100, 900 passenger and palace cars, and
100000 freight cars. The capital invested
in all the railways is estimsted at twenty
thousand millions OF dollars. The commerce
on the seas is carried on by 1900 steamers
and over 10000 sailing vessels. The ton
z Of these vessels amounts 10 over 10000
0O0 tons. Telegrsphic communication is
maintained BY 10000 miles of wire, Of which
about fve-eighths fall 10 Europe, two
eigbths 10 America, and fully one-eighth to
the submarine telegraph system. There are
10000 stations, from which 100000 dis
patches are sent annually, or on sn average
over 10000 daily. According 10 population

and sign his deposition. At that hour the ties.
timony was ready and the counsel present mt

but Mr.. Goodman failed to appear. After wait
ing some time an adjournment was taken un-

missing witness was not present, and has not
been seen since he testified. II is stated that
Goodman left for New York on the night that
he concluded his testimony, and Ia now In
