PALM* of Wilkes 7 Barre, will dis-, cuss the political issues of the day in the Court House,lon Monday evening next. .7 The meeting will convene at o'clock. All are invited to' attend and hear these able champions: THE CONVENTION-4TS We, referred briefly last week t 6 the Republican Convention which assembled in this *place on the 2.24 inst. In a county like ours, - where there are so many men fitted for leaders, it is not at all strange that the strife for positions on the ticket 'of the dominant party is sometimes, heated. It would be folly to say that the result of the convention was en tirely satisfactory to all who were candidates before it, or to the. whole party in the county; but we . do as sert, with Out fear of successful con tradiction, that the -proceedings. of the convention throughout.were char acterized by harmony,4lig,nity, and transparent fairness There was a conspicuous lack of ordinary._ wire pulling, unfair combinatiOnS; and other " tricks of the trade.' The delegates seemed , intent only on pre senting a ticket 4 against which no. reasonable objection could be ',raked. That they were:successful in ''this a careful investigation Of the 'candi dates wilt fully demonstrate, and the result in November will prove* thor ough endo'rsement of their judgment. The proceedings of the ll6use of Representatives. at Washington dur ing the past session has, satisfied all Republicans and many honest'l)emo cratsl that a sad mistake was made two years ago when the DemOcratie party, controlled by its rebel ele ment, was permitted to gain control of the lower house of COngreis, and more than ordinary interest was manifested in the choice of a 'can • didate for The selection . of Col. OVERTON with hearty and entire unanimity, evij dences the high appreciation in which he is held by the party. It is 'hardly necessary for us to call attention to his past history. His career is part of the history of the county. He was born and rear'e - d. in this place. At an early age lie entered Princeton College, where he maintained:a high grade of scholarship and graduated' in 1856 With high honors, Just in time to take an active part ",in the i , first Republican campaign, although he, had barely attained his majority. ,Two years later be was, admitted-to the bar of the county, having read law with Judge. — MEnct.7n. He at once entered- upon .successful pro- fessionai career, and succeeded to a large_s share of the practice :of . his -father, who- was then just retiring I front active bUsiness life. In the I spring of 186 l was appointed counsei to the Commissioners;' i a • po sition which had previously been held by such den as JR(lge EWELL, J. C. ADAMS, and JUdge, Nikacun. ! Although engrossed in hi& increas ing buSiness and with a bright polit ical future before him, he closed his office' in. response to the demands of patriotism and offered his t services to his imperiled,country. i llis mili tary record is an honor to the County and the hundreds of. brave boys who- left their home comforts for the pri - - , ; vations and sufferings of camp life with him. He engaged in - , many important battles, and was once se, riously wounded, but like Gen. :GRANT he was "bound to fight it out on that line." and remained in the army until the close of the war. The `history of .!Pennsylvania. Reseives makes,, honorable mention of his 'courage, military skill and bravery. Notwith standing the fact that it is Col. OVERTON's fortune to be the son of a wealthy father, he i thoroughly de4 l rn• ocratic in his tastes nd habits and sympathizes with the genius of our republican institutions, recognizing no nobility except that of intellect. Modest and difident almost to a, fault, he never boasts of either his Military record, business success, or p.,litical popularity. - His candidacy was not' Of his own seeking, but was ;father 14.1t' recall of whit the Wit. now_ is OF 01110. CON(;P.ESS A.' the pallor considered s 'necessity tO certain success in the canvass. If the Conference shall endorse that judgment, defeat is beyond' even a possibility. Not only in this county but all through the district there are hosts of "boys" who knew and ,ad , mired the Colonel in the army, who will esteem it, a privilege to work for his election. If nominated, Bradford county will give him 3,000 majority. From a pecUniary standpoint, 3lr. OVERTON could gain nothing by hold ing a seat in Congress, as his legal business, which het i , resumed in com pany with N C. ELsnann at the close of the war, has grown to immense proportions, and there is scarcely an important case tried in onr courts , in which he is not employed, and he consents to become a candidate only in deference to the judgment of those who believe his election would be advantageous to the best interests of the country. The careless supineness through which this Senatorial district came to be represented in-the State Senate by one of the most uncompromising, bigotted partiians in the Democratic party, admonished thinking Republi cans of 'the necessity of remedying the mistake so far as possible, and the convention acted with great, wis dom and discretion in nominating for STATE SENATOR, WILLIAM T. DAVIES, of this place. Mr. DAVIES is emphatically a self made man. Some twenty years ago he left his rural home in the eastern part 'Of the county and took up his residence in Towanda, where he served several years as Principal of the Graded School. At the instance of some, of the leading attorneys he en tered Judge ELwELL'S office and ap plied himself with great tenacity to the reading of law: He was admit ted to the bar, and although without influential friends to aid him in se curing clients, soon found himself with a lucrative practice. tut his patriotic instincts led him to.give up bUsiness, bid adieu to a bride . of only a few months, and enter heartily into the service of the Union when the lamented LINCOLN called for Aroops. His constitution proving insufficient forf : the rigors of soldier life, gave way; and for week's he was "nigh unto death's door," and on recovery was. forbidden by his physician to re turn to the army. But his interest . in the soldiers and the cause of the Union was manifested in many ways. Of Welsh descent, he naturally im bibed Republican sentiments, and long before the organization of the Republican party was a zealous ad vocate of the principles,Nyhose advo cacy and maintenance have' achieved so much for freedom and hlman pro gress. The Republic* party ihas always recognized in 'him :a worthy and able leader, and no citizen of the district will ever regret his election. During his term in the State Senate the interests of his constituents and the welfare of the Commonwealth will be zealouslY guarded. Out of all the men mentioned in connection, with the office of REPRESENTATIVE, perhaps no three better fitted for the' position could have been selected , lion. E. R.-MYER is a tried and faith ful servant, whose experience as a legislator. will prov = e of great benefit to the people not only of this county, but the whole State. His legislative , career has been noted for the fidelity witlywhich he has guarded the rights of his constituents and` advocated general laws calculated to better the condition and relieve the burderia of the unfortunate. In every part of the State lie is looked upon by those who. know him as one of the most useful men who has ever had a seat in the Legislature. Although not identified with any ltemperance or ganization, all legislation asked for by the, friends of temperance has found in him a consistent, steadfast advocate. Long before the passage of the "Local-Option " law he intro duced a similar bill in the Senate. The people may implicitly confide -to his protection their : interests with the assurance that their confidence will not be betrayed. The' colleagues of Mr. MYER-- Capt. JAMES FOSTER, of North To wanda, and Jou x F.' GILLETT, of South Creek are men who have never held official poSition at the hands of the people of this county, and yet both possess rare qualifica tions for the position to which they have been nominated. Mr. IMEn is,a young man of excellent bu4ness capacity,unexceptionable liabitsnd general information. While quite young he enlisted in the army, and by strict attention 'to duty and sol dierly bearing soon won a Captain's commission. His reputation as an upright,;yrudent and capable busi ness man is good wherever he is known. 3lodest and retiring in dis position,r lie is nevertheless fearless in the advocacy of whiVhc believes to be right. lie is a pronounced Re publican., and knows well how to de fend his faith. lie is not only an honest man himself, but has brains sufficient to detect disnonesty and trickery in otheis. The - :,peOple of Bradford county williie'Ver have rea son to regret his election. Mr. GILLETT is An. old citizen of South Creek, and _is universally re spected; in Western Bradford where he is well; known. He has been ac tively engaged in business for many years, and has An enviable repUtation among his neighbors. He is a lead ing member of the Baptist Church, and bas during the past season given ground for the erection ftf„ , a church edifice, beside contributing liberally toward the structure. lie is'aburt , antly qualified fur the office of Re' resentative or any other poSitinn in the gilt . of the people:.

It is understood that another suit growing out of the St. Louis, Alton and, Terre Haute Railroad litigation will be begun in a few days against' Gov. TILDEN in the United States courts. The new suit will be based on the old income tax law, .andl will be brought to recover a large balance claimed to';:'..be due the Government as a tax on Gov. TILDEN'S income for the year 1862. It is alleged that in 1863 Goy. TILDEN swore to an in come for the previous year of $7,118 from all source i liable to taxation. In - his analer'io the complaint in equity filed by ;the .St. Louis, 4116 n and Terre Haute Railroad com'pany, Gov. TILDEN acknowledgad the re ceipt of $20,000 as counsel fees in 1862. It is further alleged that; Gov. TILD'EN received during the same time stock of the road to a Marge amount on Ifis individual account, in addition to $33,000 of the first mort gagej, bonds and $lB,OOO in rest. These sums, it is alleged, were not included by Gov. TILDEN inhis in come returns for 1862; as required by law. The suit will be brought to recover about $50,000. It is Stated that the papers ,in this suit have been already prepared. According • present arrangement' of the calendar, the case will not be before Noiember r but, if the ness of the courts accumulates great extent, a special trial terr be held in October. In that e is asserted that the suit will be in that month. ' REMENCaMENTS should "some where else," in the vi those Democratic • c`ongre.'j For instance, Mr. Jous Goon l of..
