ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 2G.-The Northern

strongest terms the recent outrageous afA-

of some of the leading business men IN At

state capitol, Gen. J. r. Lewis, postmaster
and many Others has not held such large

vent to their feelings on Elliot r. onepards
vilIsinous SANDER of the south and her peo-

So indignant were some OF the memoers
that Woodward, who was permanent chalr-

Sdea for the Northern society to give him
the slanderous letter for the Mail and E.e-

THE RESOLUTIONS
A copy OF the article published in Shep-
ards paper was read, and also letter from
President Calhoun Of the Confederate
Veterans Association, and then the follow
Sng resolutions were unanimously adopted:
NORTHERN SOCIETY or GEORGIA,
ATLANTA. Ga Oct. &c, 1881.
We, the members of the Northern Society OF
Georgia, in mass meeting assembled, repre-
senting nearly every northern state in the
perity in thus state emnently salts
Factory, which we credit largely to the
good feeling that exists between the two great
political parties. each being influenced by a de-
Termination to ignore the efforts of fanatics, be
they northern or southern, TO create strife and
disturb the pleasant relations which now exist
among happy, contented and prosperous PEG
Sle, and knowing that representative people
from all sections of the north, both In organ
tzed bodies and travelling alone have, during
the past few years, made frequent ex-
the purpose Of familarzng themselves with the
situation, and have without known exception ex
Nressed themselves publicly and privately, both
while among us and after their return to their
our rapid advancement, our prospects, and the
cordial manner in which the rebel and
yankee" affiliate on all occasions, each trying
ITO outstrip the other in efforts TO develop the
state and bury the differences that existed over
a quarter of a century ago. therefore, be 1t
Resolved. That this society, known as the
Northern Society of Georgia. with headquar-
tiers in the city OF Atlanta, denounces in un-
measured terms the practice Of certain ultra
publications sending unscrupulous representa-
tives to this state for the purpose of originating

spartsans demand to satisfy an ABNORMAL
appetite for food suited 20 make them strong In
their efforts to scatter the firebrands of sec
tional hate This action OF the Northern So
ciety of Georgia has particular reference to the
reports associated with the unwilling OF the
Grady monument recently published
in the New York Mail and Express, which
reports we denounce as false in detail. worthy
TO rank only as the efforts OF a person devoid OF
principle and honor; and we further advance as
our belief that the publication giving conspic-
uous place in its columns TO such articles
assumes by so doing position at va
rance with all the principles OF
right, good government unity, peace and the
general prosperity, and as such should be dis
countenanoed by all Hberty-loving, law-abidinR
citizens. The facts being. that not one ''old
rebel uniform was worn in the procession, but
OF s' the Confederate veterans Asso-
citation was carried by them heavily
draped with Grape in memory Of Mr. Grady,
tion; that several elegant national flags were
carried in the processon-as many as would
naturally be carried on any similar occasion
north, south, east or west; that the city of At
lanta was profusely decorated with national
flags and colors and no other. as were also the
carriages of the guests and the platform around
Ghe monument. While we question the good taste
aud wisdom of carrying or exhibiting CON
federate flag on any occasion, yet we know that
such an exhibition has no deeper meaning than
respect for the ashes of the past, and that the
~ tha the CnnfQdarata
Veterans Association, as well as that OF other
southern men, to the stars and stripes is I'M
questioned.
The position Of the grand army post in the
column was correct from a military point Of
view. 1t having the post of honor In relation to
the other organizations. The members or the
grand army In Georgia are just intelligent
and jealous Of their rights as are their com
Iades elsewhere and will be heard from when
ever they are attacked.
The ceremonies were participated In by all
citizens vieing with each other in showing re-
spect TO the memory of AIR. Grady, We beg to
uuote from his last speech in Boston:
This hour little needs loyalty that
is loyal 20 one section and yet holds the
other in enduring suspicion and estrangenent
Olive us the broad and perfect loyalty that loves
and trusts Georgia alike with Massachusetts,
west, but endears with equal aud patriotic love
every foot of our SOIL every state of our union. ~
be it further,
Resolved That these resolutions be given Ia
the Associated Press FOR general dissemination,
requesting that all publications in the north in
harmony with the sentiments suppressed give
them prominence In their columns
our paramount object being 10
have it generally understood throughout
the union that we are becoming exceedingly
FESTIVE over the periodical trips to our state by
press representatives whose main stock in
trade IS capacity for originating scandals and
otherwise disturbing the pleasant relations.
