A CORRESPONDENT Of the Scranton
ikpublican in writing from Tunkhan
ndsk in regard to the late Congres
siOind conference,-states that in 1874
OVERTON'S friends defeated Mr. LA-
PntTE in this county:, • This.base in
s'itiination- was thrown in for,the pur
pos,e of reaching Mr. LAPORTE'S
friends. That the charge is false is
known to every candid Man in the
district. Mr. LAPORTE bad_ no more
ardent supporters in 1874 than
'OVERTON,and those who .advoested
hi r nmnination. The. revival' of the
falsehood which was attempted to be
uskt to 31r. OVERTON'S harm two
years ago will not 'avail his enemies
now.: COI. .OvERTON was never
ktio‘in to apt treacherously toward
any nominee, and bad either of the
gentlemen whOsepames were present

nominated, his best efThrts would
have been put forth for the success

ADVICE OF A WORKINGMAN.
A %ensibleworkingman writes as
follows to the Boston journal:
KEARNEY seems to be like a Chinese
battle.—morei noise than killed or
wounded. • I have always been what
'is called a workingman. When I
first commenced life I • worked many.
a day-for fifty cents a day, and many
days I did not even make that.
KEARNEY'S talk about land monopo
lists- and all that sort of thing is
nonsense. There is land enough in
- all the States of this Union within
th reach ofevery' man who will
make an exertion•to get it. Scores
of men that I am acquainted with,
that have good homes and all the
comforts_ of life and many Of its
luxuries, are workingmen, and have
been all their days., As for myself,
I consider work' the greatest blessing
conferred upon man. There are
many .mechanics in this village who
own their homes, and they are well
enough furnished to receive any
company whatever. ...Instead of
stumping the State, Mr. KEARNEY
-had better spend - his time in reading
some of the mechanics' libraries in
this village. The Judge told CURRAN,
the celelfratedldvocat,e, " if that is
I ; will go home and burn my
books." • "Better go home and read
them," says CURRAN. Mr. KEARNEY
had better read more and talk less,
until he can instruct the workingman
in bettealines of duty than he 'does
at present.
THE following, which we take from
the last .Argu,s, does not need any
comment. In plain English it means
if 'Warn had a majority . in the
Greenback convention NI onuAN Would
be the Democratic candidate. It Is
a - very lame adempt- to ride two
horses, and furnishes the very best
evidence of Monoires 'unfitness for
the pOsition 4e seeks: .
The following letter was handed to
the Secretary of the Greenback con
vention on Tuesday. It was author
ized to be read after the conventio
. had concluded' its deliberations, pro
vided he was the choice - of the people,
which he was:
TowANnA, Sept. 3, 18;8.
Gentlernefi of the Greenback ebnrention :
- It seems appropriate that I should make
a brief explanation at this time. I have
been a Greenback man in principle for a
long time. A few weeks since, and prior
to the 20th of August, when he Demo
cratic county convention was held, I join
ed the IVysox Greenback Club.. Iloinecl
that club because I was in sympathy with
audio favor of the principles enunciated
by the
_Greenback party. My' purpose
and intention now is, to use my influence
for thesuceess of ie Greenback cause.
I believe the - success of the -Greenback
cause necessary for the protection of the
interests of the producing and laboring
classes of this. Government with whom I
'am intimately associated in All my. busi
ness relations. My nomination" by the
DemoCratic convention was'a surprise. It
was without my' knowledge, consent, or
solicitation. The members pf that con
vention knew that I was a Greenback
man when theynorainated me, and there
fori cannot expect me'to. do otherwise
than herein stated. '
Very respectfully, yori . 113u.T.113(l)eAerrt,
- Wiontuo county polls abhut 1600
Republican votes; and 'Bradford
eight thousand, and yet the candidate
presented by the former.county
thinks that the nominee of this
county, who has also been tmani
,mously endorsed by: Wayne, should
withdraw in his favor.

Fayelte.fiepublican.. •
A CLAIM often set up by the Green
backers is that by substituting green
baeks- for national bank notes the
government would be.the gainer to.
the amount of the bills lost, worn
out or destroyed in eirculation.'l The
Burlington' ilulck4 4 ,o correets this
error by citing aletter from theTon
trOller of the Currency, containing
this statement: " I will state with
regard to,the loss of the circulation
of national banks that such loss does
not secure to the benefit.of the banks.
When a natioal_ bank ilesires to .re- -
' duce its circulation, an amount Of :
legal tender notes equal to the pro
posed reduction is deposited in the
United :States Treasury,.and ret,ins-1
there for the redemption of the notes
pntil the redemption is effected. . So,
when -a national -bank. fails, or . goei
into voluntary liquidation, an amount.
of legal tender netes, eqttaV t -to its
outstanding circulation . , is deposited
in the Treasury and permanently
held for the redemption of the notes,
whether theY• are presented for. re
demption- or not; and no matter:
how long a time may elapse, .the
notes rematning -in the Treasury are
not retusned to the bank that depos ,
ited them, nor is there any law authl
orizing their return; so that the gain
from the loss on national bank cir
culation inures to the benefit of the
United States." -
THE MAINE 'ELicrioN.—There is
no use in disguising the fact that the
election in Maine resulted in a defeat
of the Republican party ; but, it will
prove the .most precarious victory the -
Democrats ever won, and at this par
ticular time, the most wholesome and
instructive' defeat , the Republican
party ever suffered. It' insures the
Republican party victory -in Ohio
and Pennsylvania; and will give us
such gains in other States as must
more than compensate for the lcsies
we haVe • suffered in - Maine. The
path of duty is the, only path of
safety for the Republican party, was
the stern admonition of EUGENE
HALE, in the Maine fight. Mr. HALE
failed of an election, but he ,has not
been overthrown. His fate will save
many a Republican eaddidate for
Congress who, had HALE been-elect
ed, might have 'been defeated. Re
publicans have now 'seen how they
have been cheated. For the first
cheat, they are not to- blame, but
whenever,' with Maine in View, they
_Offer 'themselves to bejioodwinked
they will assume the disgrace.
Mu; Mononx's apparent ignorance
in rVard to the Democratictnomina
tion Appears, very plausible, but inti
mate friends cif his told active Green
backers some weeks before the Dem

G. DAwsON COLEMAN, one . of the
wealthiest. and best known citizens ed .
this State, died. at his • residence in
Lebanon, on Monday, the 9th inst.
The Lebanon Courier in announcing
his death gives a short .biographical
sketch of Mr. CptizmAx :. •
Mr. Coleman was born, in Philadelphia
in 1824. -11e ) was carefully educated; pass
ing years at Princeton and at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. - Before he was of
ago he had.traveled extensively in Ea
.rope. In 1846, in conneeTion with his old.
er brer Robert, he began- , the 'erection
of thtNorth Lel anon furnaces, and built
the first anthracite furnace in this lOcality,
Iu 1852 he bought his brother's interest
in the furnaces, and has since conducted
them on his own account. When the war
of the rebellion broke out, he took a great
interest in the loyal cause, and did very
much in contributing roost liberally, and
otherwise, in putting the 93d regiment in
the field. And that regiment had his so
licitous watchfulness, and. was his pride
.throughout its career. • Ho, followed it in •
many. f its battles, and was present to
minister to the wounded and suffering.
And throughout the war hp was active in
the Sanitary Committee and . in otherwise
upholding and Promoting the loyal cause.
lie had a distaste for political life, yet in
.1862, when he was culled upon to serve
!the people of this county in the Legisla
ture, he accepted tire trustas a duty, and
sq. well filled the. position that he wss af
terwards elected to the Senate, and would
Wye been called to, higher positions .by
the People had he had any political ambi
tion. He might have had the Republican
:nomination - for Governor, which would
have been equivalent to an election, and
President , Grant was .anxious that he
should fill the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury or of the Interior in his Cabinet.
Years ago he was appointed a member-of
the State ; Board of. Charities, and for
some time;past he has been
.President of
the Board. • He was President of the First
National Bank, : and was connected with
numerous other enterprises. In every po
sition.he held,-ho fulfilled the duties well.
And he labored in them from the most
disinterested motives, for he would never
- accept for himself a dollar of compensa
tion. - The salary due him for his services
in the Legislature always went to some
charitable object. For the erection of
Churches, to the strengthening of institu
tions of learning, and to other meritorious
objects be contributed most liberally. MS
hand was ever open and his heart prompt
ed help to all good causes. "And 'DOW
abideth faith, hope, and, charity, these
three ; but the greatest of these' is char!,
ty," which was peculiarly his. •
THE Wilmington Every Evening_
puts down the total peach shipments
for the year at 700,000 baskets. These
will average at leait ninety cents, de
livered at the various depots which
will show a return to the - growers Of
the lower 'peninsula' of about
. $630,-
000, or over . $575,000 clear profit.
There will be at least 200,000 baskets
consumed, at home, .which. will be
worth quite $100,000: Thus it Will
bnseen that the peach growers' ,thi
year who are Itieky enough to bave
'fruit will make about $600,000 clear
from the crop. The total yield in
baskets will not reach 1,000,000
probably, and so this will be known
as a smell year for peaches,
