A Washington dispatch says that
Gen. Gillen, in his testimony before the

culurs of instruction TO the various
Sherifs throughout the State, but it is
his impression that the Sherits were
| hostile to the reconstruction acts, and

| thinks there was considerable intimida-
| ton used in different parts OF the State
