Gov. Gordon's Notable Message.
ATLANTA, Ga., July 5.-Several features of the message which governor Gordon will send to the legislature tomorrow are likely to attract national attention, notably the attitude he proposes to take concerning Atlanta university. The university is for colored students, but is taught by white professors, who mix their own children with the negroes. Governor Gordon's idea is to give state aid of $5,000 per annum to a purely negro university, taught by negro professors, thus cutting off the offending whites.
