RICHMOND, VA. September 1o.-The
following appears in the EUening State
here this afternoon: Governor O'Fer-
rail- received last night the following
telegram from the New York World:
"To Governor Charles T. O'FsTrdLL Esq:
IAN English committee has been sent
here to investigate and denounce South
ern lynchings. Will you please tels-
graph US what you think Of English
meddling with our affairs?"
The Governors reply:
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA,
GOVERNORS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 8, 1894.
To the "Wortd::"
"Things have come to pretty pass
ia this country when we are TO have a
lot of English moralists sticking their
noses into our internal affairs. 1t Is
tho Quintescence of impudence.
They had better sweep in front OF
their own doors before seeking
to regulate US. We might as well in
vestigate English affairs in India, her
White Chapel murders, her Jack the
Ripper slashings. the Maybrick trial
and her alleged injustice and cruelty to
this woman, her rapacious colonial
policy in Africa and the degrading
effects upon the Chinese resulting from
her opium war. What do they propose
to do in case they ind that the law is
not administered here according to their
ideas? Declare war against US or open
the walls Of their wrath upon our heads?
What information do they seek?
Do they want To know that the white
people in the South have lynched ne
groes whose miserable lusts led them
TO the com mmsson of the black crime
of rape upon white women? II so they
need not investigate, for such is the
fact. Do they desire to know that this
has been done by infuriated commuli-
ties for the protection OF white women,
and to save the victims Of these tends
from the humiliation of testifying in
courts? If so, this is the fact. Do they
want TO know whether there was any
doubt as TO the guilt Of the men
lvnched? II so, for the satisfaction OF
their yearning souls, they could have
ascertained without encountering the
perils Of a sea trip that their guilt
was clear in every instance.
II they had desired to learn
whether these lynchings were
permitted or countenanced by the civil
authorities, they could have learned
through the regular channels OF cores
pondence that In every case the civil
authorities were either without knowl-
edge or were overpowered. These sym
pathetic EDgIishmen might find mis-
sionary work among the negroes of the
! South in warning them against the con
sequences Of the forcible qualification
of their devilish lusts."

Governor Of Virginia"

PITTsBURe, September 1O.-The first
day OF the Twenty-eighth National En-
campment, G. A. R., has closed, and
nothing but the best can be said Of II.
The weather has been superb, the
crowds large and no accidents have hap
pened 10 mar the day.
The marching event Of the day was
the parade Of the naval veterans who
went ever the rather long route with a
precision and excellence Of drill that
called forth the heartiest OF cheers
from the spectators.
The veterans numbered 1000 and
were led by Rear Admiral OsbOn.
In the afternoon the ladies Of the e.
A. r. and Womsn's Relief Corps were
taken through the city and suburbs in
carriages, following which a reception
was held at the Monongabela House.
The social event Of the day was re-
ception by Mrs. George Westinghouse
81 her suburban residence, solitude,
given 20 the visiting ladies.
Some OF the guests who have attend
ed similar affairs on many occasions
pronounce this the most gorgeous they
ever witnessed. The floral decorations
were the finest ever seen ia this city.
Henry WattersOn, Governor Beaver
and all OF the prominent National OH
GERS Of the q. A. r. were present.
Many reunions were heid during the
day aud evening by members Of diuer-
eDt regiments and many were the remi-
niscences exchanged. Tonight the
sidewalks are inadequate 70 &C
commodate the crowds that throng
them and the roadways are
used along the main streets. Street
cars aud vehicles are almost blOckaded.
Taken altogether Pittsburg has never
before enjoyed such a scene OF ANNA
tiOn. InnumerGbIe bands are march
ing through the down town streets sere-
nading the newspapers and prominent
people.
One OF the features OF the first day Of
the encam pment was the performance
OF Fred y. Iuues' new composition OF
,sWar and Peace" az the Exposition to-
Aight, und his musical spectacle, dedl-
lcated 10 the encampment, was given by
the Thirteenth regiment band OF New
York, a grand chorus Of 400 local singers,
a company from the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard, Ransom Post No. 500, u.
A. R., Of st. Louis. and battery Of ar
tinery, all under the direction Of the
composer. There were about 10000
people present, including Commander
10 Chief j. G.. b. Adams and staH and
Otl ers Of note.

Hon. william L. Wilson VIII BE Returned
to Congress With 9 Handsome Ma
JorIty.

WASHINGTON. d. c., September TO-
Col. John T. McGraw, chairman of the
Democratic Conn nittee of the Second
West Virginia Congressional district,
was in the city a short time to-day, on
mis- way to New York.
Col. McGraw seems in high spirits
over the outlook for Democratic success
in the district. He said the workers OF
the party were never la more deter
mined mood, and all the reports from
the different counties showed that the
rank and file were in line for Wilson
and would return him TO Congress by q
handsome majority in November.
The only danger Of the party In the
district was from overconfdsnee, based
on the fact that the Republicans had
not been able To induce their ad nittedly
strongest men, EiKins and Mason, to
allow themselves to be considered by
the convention, thus showingsthat they
had no hope that Mr.. Wilson could be
defeated.
Judge jackson was also in the city to-
day. Ii was thought he might have
come on business relating to the WAYNE
county affray, but this does not appear
to have been the case, as inquiry at the
Department of Justice stated that he
did not call on the acting Attorney
General.

LEXINGTON, KY, September 10
Breckinridge and Morton were com
rades In the Confederate army, prae-
ticed law together and pulled together
for years in politics as we'll as being
neighbOrs. Previous TO the Pollard suit,
Colonel Breckenridge charges that Judge
Morton was not pleased because be
could not name certain appointments
and when Madeline was prosecuting the
Congressman, il is charged In the
interview that Judge Morton deserted
mis- old friend. In his recent speech at
Athens Colonel Breckenridge scored
Judge Morton very severely. Judge
Morton last Wednesday replied at
public meeting in Lexington, called for
that purpose, aud his arraignnent OF
Breckinridge was intensely severe.
Colonel BreckinridGe's rejoinder In tue
form OF an interview will appear In the
Lexington Transcript tomorrow. IL
reviews the lifetime association between
the two men, how Morton acted when
the Pollard trouble came out on the
Colonel and since the present Congress
ional contest has been waging. While
the Pollard case is revived, nothing
new Is brought out in II, except that
Judge Morton helped Miss Pollard's
cause then as he Is now helping the
cause Of Owens. While the relations
between the men are so strained as TO
cause reference TO the code from others,
Colonel BreckinridEe closes by saying
that they have always lived together At
Lexington and must live together at
that plaCe hereafter.
