From Washington.

Washington, 81. Gen. John B. Gordon of
Atlanta, Ga, was examined five hours be-
fore the ku-klux Committee; his testimony
being much the same in substance as that
previously given by Gen. Fright, and repre-
sentative Christy. He statated that there
was no disposition whatever in the State to
oppose the negroe, and if any outrages had
been committed they were not countenanced
by the people generally. He knew nothing of
ku-kluX or any other secret organization for
political purposes, but had been asked by
some of the most prominent citizens of the
State to Join an order whose sole object was
the protection of life and property, and which
he did not believe had ever been used for
political ends. He said there was no hos
tility in the South as to the character of the
national government, but there was great
deal of animosity as to the manner of its ad-
ministraton. and cited mlitrry arrests and
Imprisonment of some of the pest Young men Of
Georgia, as having done u great deal to ere
ate dissatisfaction with the general govern
ment. Disfranchisement of the best citizens
and entranchisemeut of negroes, was also re-
garded as an attempt to humiliate the South
and excited great bitterness. Gen. Gordon
believed that general amnesty would be at
tended with most beneficial results, and de-
MED that there had been any negroes intimi-
dated at elections in Georgia as had been
represented. He believed if it had not been
for the carpet-baggers, and their efforts to
prejudice the blacks, large portion of the
negroes would vote the democratic ticket as
they were rapidly coming to the understand
ing that their interests were identical with
those of the whites.

From st. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo-, "a. Attorney General
Baker has given an opinion in which Judge
Glover concurs, that the mortgage bonds for
the pa yment of which the North Missouri
Railroad will be sold next month, are unau-
,thorized. He says the company had no au-
thority to mortgage the franchise or property
without the express sanction of the legsla-
ture, which the company did not have. The
North Missouri Company had also no author
ity to borrow money or pledge the main line
OF their road for the construction of west
branch from Maberly to Kansas City, or for
the erection of a bridge at st. Charles, which
is an enterprise owned and controlled by this
distinct company. He is also of the opinion
that the interests of st. Louis county will be
served by an application for an injunction to
prevent the sale of the road and to have the
mortgage declared unauthorized.
