A STORY OF THE PLAINS
How the Gentle, AmiabIe and Prosecuted
Mr.. LOl Treats his Prisoners.
Capiiyes have their Tongues Cut Out
Their Ears Cut on, ans are then
Burned at the Stake.

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-The st. Joseph
Mol Gazette of a late date learns
from VIM. MacmOore the particulars
of the capture OF a train belonging to
J, Z. Blackburn, Government con
tractor, by the Indians, about thirty
miles from Fort Sill, on June 18th.
The brief account which has been
previously reported, says the train
consisted Of fourteen wagons with
fourteen men attached to il. On the
day mentioned, while crossing a small
stream, about two hundred Cheyenne
Indians dashed out of the woods on
both sides of the stream, shot and
killed seven of the party on the spot,
wounded another, who was tOma
haWked, and scalped and took the re-
mainder prisoners. These were Sc
eurely bound and taken away by the
Indians. The next day one of the
party attempted TO escape, and was
Killed. On the following evening two
Of the teamst6rs, Jacob Jones and
Thomas Hayward, were burned al
the stake by slow torture, their
tongues having been first cut out TO
prevent their screaming, and their
dians formed q circle around their
victims and INDUCED in various
modes of tOrmenting them; and Mac
moore, Brown and Jackson, the re
naming prisoners. were brought for
ward and compelled 10 witness the
spectacle. Jones died quietly, but
Hayward fingered for half an hour
in great agony. On the night
of July 9Th, after q heavy storm and
a free indulgence in whisky by the
Indians, MacmOOre, Brown and Jack
son lOosened their hands and es-
capped, and after travelling two mil-s
separated for the safety OF each, and
starting for Fort Riley, Kansas, which
place they all reached safely, but very
much exhausted. MacmOOTe says
that nearly one-fourth of the party OF
Cheyennes was composed of white
men, and many Of the Indians them
selves spoke English. Among them
was a man named Stanley, from
ESstern Texas, who said he had killed
thirlaen men and intended to Kill five
times as many more. The whites
dressed h ke the Indians, were fully rs
barbarous aud seemed to enjoy the
terrible torture Of Jones ana Hay
wood with as much zesta as the In
dians. This band OF Indians had two
white women captives with them;
Mrs. Bowman, aged 35 years, and
Miss Emma Bailey, about eighteen.
Both were captured in Texas. They
were treated tOlerably well. The
Cheyennes were well mounted and
well armed and were a part OF the
same band that fought the Seventh
cavalry on the 26lh UltimO at Fort
Wallace

Opinion as to the Validity of the North
Missouri Railroad Bonds.

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-AttOrney Gen
eral Baker, Of this State, having been
called upon for an opinion as TO the
validity of the mortgage bonds for the
payment of which the North Missouri
railroad is to be sold next month, re
plies that without considering the in
herent right OF corporations to mort
gage their branches and prOpeTty'tO
secure indebtedness on their part,
about which there is much conflict OF
opinion in the judgment Of the court
of last resort in the United States, he
is constrained to the opinion that this
railroad company, the North MisSOu-
ri, had no authority to mortgage its
franchises or property without the eX-
press sanction of the legislature; this
the company did not have, He IS
further of opinion that the North
Missouri Railroad Company had no
authority TO borrow money or pledge
the main line Of their road for the con-
structiOn Of the west branches
fr M Moberly to Kansas City,
nor for the erection of bridge
at st. Charles, which is an enterprise
owned and controlled by a distinct
company. He is also of the opinion
that interests Of a county ss a stock
holder will be served by application
for injunction to prevent the sale Oi
the road, and having the mortgage
declared unauthorized. Judge Henry
G. Clover cOncUrs in this opinion.

DERELICTION OF NATIONAL BANKS.
WASHINGTON, July H.-There are
at present about 100 National banks,
all of which are directed by law to
send in reports of their dividends and
earnings semi. annually, and nOtwith-
standing that blanks are furnished on
which to make out their statements,
fifteen per cent. of them are gotten up
erroneOusly. In many instances bank
clerks in the leading cities have trans
mitted to the department statements
showing that the net earnings at the
disposal of their bank amounted to a
thousand dollars, while their divi-
dends exceed twenty-five thousand.
This is only one example in many in
stances of similar errors.
GENERAL GoRDoN's TESTIMONY.
General John b. Gordon, of ATTAIN.
Ia, Georgia, was examined for i've
hours before the Ku-K1uX Commit
tee. His testimony was much the
same in substance as that previously
given by General Wright and Repre-
sentative Christy. He stated there
was no disposition whatever in the
State to Oppress any one, and the out
RACES committed were not c0unte-
nanced by the people generally. He
knew nothing OF the Ku-Klux or any
secret organization for political purpO-
poses, but he had been asked by
some of the best citizens of the State
to Join an order, whose sole OBJ
ject was the protection OF life and
property, and which he did not be-
lieVe had ever been used for political
ends, and said that there was no hos
tility in the South to the character OF
the National Government, but that
there was a great deal of animOsity as
to the manner of its administration
and its military arrests of some OF the
best young men of Georgia, as having
done a great deal to create dissatistac-
ton with the General Government,
and the disfranehisement Of its best
citizens and the enfranchisement OF
negroes is also regarded as an attempt
to humiliate the South, and excited
great bitterness.
General Gordon believed the gem
eral amnesty would be attended with
most beneficial results, and denied
that there had been any gross intim-
idatiOn at the elections in Georgia, as
had been represented. 1t is believed
that, had it not been for the carpet
baggers and their efforts to prejudice
the blacks, large proportion of ne
groes would vote the Democratic
ticket, as they were rapidly coming to
understand that their interests would
be identical with those of the whites.
