actively is he at work upon it. He is Bruins

public building at that place. He is loaded
with facts and figures. The basis of his opera
tlons Is the joint resolution passed by the
Georgia Legislature asking Congress to ap-
propriate $4,000 for this object. This
resolution will go before both
houses in day or two in COMPANY
with bill to erect the desired building. This

de Will bring to the attention of that official
the figures showing the remarkable growth in
the business of Brunswick, which speak louder
than words that necessity for public build

ne ne mas letters from Governor Stephens, Sena-
tor-elect Colquitt and many others. These
letters are OF the strongest character He
also has letters from big New York men who
are interested in capital in Georgia. George
l. Seney gives him the following letter to Sec :
retary FOlger:
II most heartily indorse the Joint resolution
OF the Georgia Legislature asking for an ap-
preparation at brunswick, Ga. The increas-
ing business of the port, as will most fully ap-
pear from the aforementioned resolution, to-
gether with the large railroad interests con-
centrating there, will, in my Judgment, re-
4ulre suitable public buildings for the proper
transaction OF the business of the govern
ment."
Fred Wolfe, of the Erlanger and Seligman
syndicate, has written letter as follows to a
NUMBER OF Senators and members of the House
Ihe Georgia Legislature at the recent ses-
SION SION unanimously passed joint resolution
asking Congress for an appropriation to erect
pubic buildings at Brunswick. BY refer
ence TO the resolutions and recitals
therein contained you will perceive a
marked increase in the business of that
port during the past four years, which will
fully demonstrate the urgent necessity of
trust you will Investigate this subject at your
earliest convenience and render such assist
ance as In your good judgment shall appear
Mr.. Dart is working most vigorously. He
may not.De successful, but that will be because
OF the shortness of the session and the work of
other character which may crowd out Bruns-
WICK. II he fails, it will not be from lack of
tact or push. One good thing will certainly
result. Brunswick will be known as she never
was before outside of Georgia, and the best
sort OF foundation for work next session will
be laid.
THE GEORGIA DIoKER.
The successors of the syndicate have been
enlarging their plan of operations. They are
going IN Tor the whole scoop. In regard to the
Internal Revenue CollectOrship at Savannah,
they have, it is said. united upon candidate.
They want W. j. White, a cOlored man from
Augusta, to get it. COllaterally they are try
ing all IN n their power to kill OFF j. II. VIM
berly. The fight against Wimberly is mot
against You, old fellow; you are all right
but because Wimberly is friend
of Longstreet. In farming out the perspective
offices Bryant and Locke, who is now Marshal
Tor the Southern district of Georgia, both
want to succeed Longstreet. A. n. Wilson, of
Savannah, wants to get the COllectOrship of
Customs at that place, and Lewis, who was
SchOol Commissioner under Bullock, looks
longlngly at the post Office at Atlanta, of which
Conley Is now the pOssessor. This is pretty
exhaustive slate. These able gentlemen
have pooled their issues and are working as
"a St.uoO' AoChC may NOT De luIly en-
rapport with the rest of them, but he is rap
port enough. l must say that signs do not
show that the copartners will be over
whelmed with success. Another thing, too
they are trying to get Postmaster Holden, at
Augusta, removed.
FARR0W.
Very strong petitions in favor of turning
Farrow adrift to earn a living by work are
being received here. Senator Brown has
several of them. There are charges which ac-
company these petitions, and affidavits, too
showing how FarrOw has neglected the Gus
tom house at Brunswick. Secretary Folger
and President Arthur have several of them in
their possession, and will get more. Thomas
OConnOr, Jr., is recommended to succeed
Farrow.
ANOTHER ONE.
1t is becoming so that no man in public life
who has ambition and means at the same
time can be without an interest in newspa-
per influential where it will do the most good
A very large number of men in Congress have
newspaper interests, and their ranks are being
added to every year. Blaine, / believe, was
one of the pioneers of this class. Some public
men who are part owners of newspapers
now possessed their property before
entering public life; but the ma
jority of them have invested since that
epoch in their lives. The latest public man to
turn towards newspaperdOm is Hill, the rich
Colorado Senator. He has been having some
trouble about running Colorado. To Offset it
he has purchased the leading Republican pa
per in the State, and will consolidate it with
the next best, which he has also bought. He
will now have no trouble in keeping himself
and his plans favorably before the people of
Colorado. POTOMAC.
