EAST TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA RAILRoAp.-The
Chattanooga Gazette says: owe understand that
the Legislature has decided in favor Of the Cover
nor's issuing the bonds to the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad Company. The Attorney Gene
raj Of the State gave opinion adverse to the ssu-
ing of the bonds, until an investigation of the mat
ter could take place before the Legislature. For
this prudential course, he received some hard
thrusts by two of the especial organs Of the com
pany, without waiting to be fully advised of the
reasons and motives which governed the Attorney
General in his decision. General Greene, however,
through a card in the Nashville Union, disclaims
any affinity with such course, condemns it, and
defends the decision of the Attorney General"
