From the Shoulder, in the First
Round.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 10-Gov Northen
has again come to the front as a defender
of the south. He to-day sent to the New
York World a telegram, to which every
lover of the south, as we'll as every true
patriot will say "Amenr' The governor,
who, in the past, has used some very
vigorous language on this subject Of SLAM
der against the south, is still more en-
phatic in his message of to-day. He does
not mince words; no one can misunder-
stand his meaning. This morning the
following telegram from the New York
World was received by the governor:
New York, Sept O. 1s9i-To Gov. w. j.
Northern Atlanta Ga An English com
mittee has been sent here to investigate and
denounce southern lynchings. viii you
please telegraph US what you think of In
glish meddling with our affairs?
THE WORLD.
In reply to this query Gov. Northern
this morning wired the following as his
reply.
The World, New York: Say to the English
COMMITTEES who have come to this country
to nvestigate and denounce lynehings at the
south that am in position to know that they
have received their information from ire
sponsible sources, ana that the English
people have declined and refused to be prop
erly into.med alout our laws and the conuuct
Of our government. The English papers, to
my knowledge, have declined time and again
toplblish statements made to them in de-
Tense OF the south by Englishmen who are
now residents of the south Under these
conditions we 90 not want any further
outside hypocritical cant upon false ideas
Of our vernment The people of this state
are quite at lie to administer their own aeairs
and they are doing it in full justice to the
negro as our laws and our conduct viii at
test We have already endured more outside
Interference in our local matters than we will
sutmissively tolerate in the future. Let
these kindly disposed Englishmen return to
their own country and prevent by law the in
human sale of virtuous girls to lUstful men in
high places. hang ali such demons as Jack
the Ripper, punish as 1t deserves the bar
barous wholesale slaughter of negroes in
Africa by Englishmen, who go there to steal
their gold, supply the necessities to prevent
wholly unknown to the people Of the south;
feed and give employment to the poor, as do
the people of my section; give to the Op
pressed Irishmen the rights humanity de-
mands and when they shall have pulled the
beam out of their own eyes, they may then
with etter grace, appoint themselves a com
mittee to hunt for the moat that may be in
our eve While we have Irregularities al
The 30 18th and negroes are sometimes lyI clcd,
they are never slaughtered by wholesale
as Englishmen some ines destroy them /
sent you by mail the law and record Of my
state on these matters, and challenge not
only the English committee on lynchings at
the south but the civilized world to show
better Why come before investigation to
"denounce" the south just prior TO the con
gresslonal election, when we have just had
negro lynched in kansas. April , an
other in Ohio on the SABBATH, April
b. and when white Poles and HungarianS
have reseutlv been hrutally butehered in
Michigan and Pennsylvania and negroes rnn
out of Franklin X ark, n j., in herds: W
challenge Investigations by all persons VINO
nave the right to investigate these charges,
but any attempt upon the part Of English
men, tainted by their own national crimes, to
arraign US for trial must re considered as
gross impertinence. W. j. NORTuEE.
