' The Geoigia Syti- dicate, or the Longstreefc-Farrow-At- jrins political combination, secured fbe nomination of JvJ.Newtop^'onp If ue,” though President Arthur lmd ■to adopt ft vefy uuusual method to l a ccarnmodate these statesmen. Mr. Ivjortb, who now fills the office, has Iserved a full tejjm to the entire B/etia- Ifaction to the people of Brunswick.— |He was a union soldier, and was so Inounded that one arm' is useless. He ■is in delicate heatth. In short, bis I condition, his services, his record give I him a strong claim on the office, Zt Las in view of these circumstances I that the President nominated him fat [ another term. He was promptly oon- I firmed. Soon, however, it was discoy- lered that this office was needed in the I schedule arranged for building up tl^e I party in Georgia, and Mr. Newton I was the man to work it up on that I line. Fresh on his confirmation camb I the nomination of North’s succcessor. ■ The mayor and leading citizens tele- I graphed at once to the Georgia Sena- [torstohold np the confirmation of I Newton. Brunswick seems particu- Jlarly solid for North. He is here I working np considerable interest in I his case by the plain recital of bis I treatment. No reason is given for bis I removal except the weak suggestion | of bis having had the offioe long The truth is, North was not I much of a Stalwart on the Grant-Ar- I thnr line or much of a coalitionist on I the Longstreet line, and inquiries in- I to his qualifications further than' this I were out of order under the new pat ent method of filling the Georgia offi ces. He seems to be a quiet, clever gentleman who had little to do with I politics, and though a firm Republi- I can, thought it better to give the peo ple of Brunswick a first-class post-of fice than to go howling around on po litical crusades, or bothering himself with making traps to captura the groat State of Georgia. 3 ' Mr. Newton is said to Ibo &* very clever gentleman, but he will go be fore the Senate handicapped and with tbo administration and the Georgia syndicate both backing him, I doubt | if he wins tho race. • Colonel Farrbw ought to bo able to I keep up the coalition boom in Bruns- ! wick. The administration might send Mr. Newton to some bther field. Visit to Frederica. On Monday wo went over to St Si mons Mills to attend the funeral of Jessie, daughter of Mr»and Mrs. For syth. After the service the body was carried to the burial ground at.Fred erica. While at the burial ground, a huge oak tree was pointed out to us as tho one under winch Mr. Wesloy preached. _ This monarch of the for est certainly bears the marks of great age. It evidently has withstood the storms of many years, bnt it is now fast going to decay. We noticed al so a hoqse if the Igrqunds formally used as a place of worship, whose age we are afraid even to guess at.
