Uepreseatatlve Conference. > In this new Representative district Sulli van county held the first Democratic Con ftL vention and fixed the 4ih of September as the time for holding the Representative Con ference at Bloomsburg. This was in accord ance with the rule in our old district, and al so with that heretofore observed in Sullivan and Wyoming. It has been the custom to hold the conference soon after the last con vention in the district has been held, and this has always brought the Representative conference earlier than the Senatorial and Congressional ones. We are sorry therefore to see that the Montour convention recently, without assigning any reason, attempted to reverse the rule and postpone tho Repre sentative conference behind the Senatorial and Congressional ones. The attempt is in bad spirit, as no reason is assigned or can be giVen for it, and as a fraternal and not a stubborn feeling should be manifested in the conferences of neighboring counlios. It \ iB a bad beginning for our new district, and ! every porsou will feel inclined to ask what motive could have caused this disagreement. If the time can make no difference in results, why produce disagreement and reverse the rule of the party and of reason ? If the Rep resentative conference is,not removed be yond tlie time or Congressional and Sen ato* rial Conferences to effect them, why so re move it? There must be a motive. But men wlio aspire to high places ought not to go out of the way to offer reasonable grounds for the suspicion of designed intrigue. A nomination ought to be not only fair, but beyond the taint or suspicion of corruption. To prove how the rule has been in this district, we give the following items from the records during the past seven years. In 1850 John Mcßeynolds was nominated fer Assembly on the 7th of September. In IBBT' Jackson was nominated by the Representative conference on the 3d of September. In 1852 George Scott was rton.; aalc d by the Representative conference on the wu 0 f September. Tlie Congressional conference waa held on the 11th. In 1853 tlio Representative Conferoncd was fixed for the 2d September. The Sen atorial conference was held on the 19th. Iti 1654 the Representative Conferendo was held on the Bth of September, and the Congressional on the 12th. In 1855 Mr. Montgomery was nominated by the RepresentativeConferenceon the 29th of August In 1856 Mr. Ent was nominated by the Representative Conference on the 3d of Sep tember. Tbe Congressional Conference was held on the lßthjof September and the Sena torial on the 19th of the same mouth. Here then the unbroken rule is to hold the Representative Conference first, and early in September—once indeed in August. It was known in Montour that Sullivan had fixed a time in accordance with this rule, and it were always better that Conferees should meet as soon albjr their appointment as is practicable. 'Thai prevents all attempts at improper interference and leaves a nom ination free from all suspicion of intrigue. Snyder County. The Democrats of Snyder eonnly held their convention last week but failed to take defi nite action on the Senatorial nomination.— Five ballots were taken for Senator before the other nominations were made. The re sult was let ballot. 2d Ballot. Reuben Keller, 11 12 Henry C. Eyer, 8 8 Thomas Bower, 6 4 ' The three following ballots ware the same as tbe Second. After lha other nominations ware made 21 more bailout ware taken which *ll retailed like the second. Tke conven tion then adjourned without appointing ar.y Conferees. This Is oertainly an onfortunale disagree ment, and our friends will see pretty aoor. that wa ware right when we deprecated the compliewad and clumsy diet riots into whioh the new apportionment bill throws us. It is bad enough when counties have ttoubfea with in themselves, bat asack worse when they disagree With one another,- without any ex cuse, and cause uncalled for difficulties, as Mooteur has lately done with Sullivan. 1 - - . , i, j* WE Colonel Geary is oat for l'scker and Democracy. For ( nngrcss John Mclicydol'li has as w, and oor cotlnty has to atoy talier io the District, Tfce oibakbeloti# not ■•"T WbJBo tSfituKauV^Mr. 'ttoßeynOtol han made politics the mtdy of' his long life, and is therefore well acquainted with public men and their history. His sa gacity and discretion would make him a useful member to his constituents and friends. ,1 , • For Ent is re-nominated,and his votes last winter fully justified the zeal ous support we gave to his election. The trial he has had proved the character of the man, and mon are certain what sort of can didate they have in him. For Prothonotary, Mr. Eyerly, whom ev erybqdy knows, is re'-norhinatod. This was entirely upon his merits as an officer, for his long tenure of office was uTged strongly against him, But his experience in office made this charge operate more in his favor than against kim. He will be as easily elect od as ho was nominated, lor people feel that it is a matter of mnc h importance to have the duties of an office well attended to. Daniel Lee was unanimously re-nomina ted for Register and Recorder; and as every voter will agree that no man more correct, atteutive and fair could bo found for the of fice, he Will most likely tuve no competitor at the polls. For Commissioner, Mr. Dieterick is social ly a driver man, and bis faibtr served as Commissioner some years ago. Politically he has repeatedly opposed Democratic nom inations, voting in 1853 for a volunteer who was last fall the Know Nothing elecloi in this district, and in 1854 for tbe K. N. Volun teers. But as the convention seems to ab solve him for these things, and pronounoes him more meritorious than any of 2,000 true Democrats of thp county who have regularly supported nominations, we are too good a Democrat to set npour private opinion against the decree of the party, and we inly hope that when he is elected bis public course will justify the partiality of the convention. No man has a right to expect that every nomina tion ehaH.avary year please bis personal de sire, and if the parti/ has forgiven Mr. Dieter ick we ought oertainly to contribute our small share of pardon which tfe can well do; es pecially as wa should be very much ashamed to act in the spirit he did in 1855, when he secretly distributed liokels for tbe Know Noth ings with onr narqe for county Auditor, and being told we were not a candidate he an swered, "I know, but we run bim (or spite." We shall act in no spirit of : 'spile : ' or mal ice toward him; and we have no doubt he is in moments of cool mind as much ashamed that he has done so, as we would be to follow so bad an example. If the Opposition nom ! mate a competitor, he is likely to fie still more objectionable, and as we are well con tent with all the rest of tbe ticket we are as I well off as any member of a party can be. Jumes S. M'Ninch is well qualified for Treasurer. He was for some years a steady clerk in the store of M'Kelvy hi Co., and to this day enjoys their generous confidence for inlagfily audjbtuuuaai; a partner in the large paper mill at Catawie sa, and though comparatively young he has many friends among those who know him best.

Bank of Newcastle. We learn from New Castle that it is the intention of the Direotors of the tale New Castle Bank to resumo payment and business on the 13th of October next. The name of the concern will be that of "Tne Lawrence County Bank," and the slock mostly held in the hands of the people of New Castle and vicjnity—a very large amount having been taken by merchants and farmers, ill sums of from fifty to five hundred dollars each. The bills of the old hank bring readily 900. in gold, and as there is but little of the old is sue out, it will be redeemed at par before the 15th of October. More Bank Fallnres. The Rhode Island Central Bank, the Tiv. erton Bank, R. 1., and the Farmers' Bank of Wickford have failed within the past week. So also has the Ohio Life and Trust Com pany with supposed liabilities to at least 37,- 000,000. John Thompson, a Wall Street Banker has also failed fur 3250,000.

Lange, E*f., >yas the Chairman, by which committee the following resolutions wore submitted to the meeting: "In the progresa of events it occasionally behooves every intelligent people to assert thejr fights, and boldly defend them against the enoroßchmsnts of, those by Whogi they are governed—therefore Resolved, we approve mosf emphati cally of adopted and pursued by ihe nationr^JJpnisiratiun. Resolved we have full confidence in the ability and integrity of the nominees of tho Demoeratio party nominated at Harris burg, and will give them oor faeartv cnpport. Resolved, That We highly approve of the doctrines and principles as set forth in tho State Central Committee's address, as baing at the same time ably and purely Democrat ic, and more especially that portion of ihe ad dress which treats ot municipal subscriptions to railroads, be., at this time we do recognize as most appropriate. Resolved, That legislative action should be confined within the limits of a strict construc tion of the Constitution. Resolved, That lax means that tribute alone which every member of the Commonwealth agrees to pay to defray the absolute and ne cessary expenses of the government, and that the taxing power should not be exeroiad for any other purpose. Resolved, That it is the special doty of the Democratic party to protect and preserve in violate Ihe individual rights of every citizen l in the Commonwealth in opposition to the assumption of power, either by our legisla ture or the official# under our county and city corporate authorities. Resolved, That we solemnly avow our hos tility to the imposition of taxes for railroad purposes, and our unqualified determination to resist by all constitutional and legal means, Ihe payment of any tax imposed upon us ille gally, e'Mbpr by State or coomy. Resolved, That while declaring no opposition to railroad improvements, we hold that they should bo advanced by iml i rid oaf enterprise alone. Resolved, That we depreoate the system of free tickets being given to Judges, Legisla tors, Preachers, Editors, &c.—said system be ing in our estimation a tacit and insidious means of bribery and corruption too danger ous to tolerate. Resolved, That we deem it to be the duty of our Commission era now not to assess any tax for railroad purposes until eompslled to pay by legal process. Resolved, That the legislature is in duty bound by statute to limit the assessing and collecting of any more tax than is absolutely necessary to defray the expenses of the gov ernment. The sevenlh resolution was opposed by Dr. J. R. McClintock, but it was adopted by a vote of 65 to 35. The whole aeries was then r majorat jr A These resolutions are ol more than usual importance, and the principles they enunciate deserve the serious attention of the party.— There is a growing disposition manifested by the Democracy of this State to limit legisla tive action to its proper and conMitntional sphere, and not to allow the State to be made a pack-horse, upon whose back can ba pla ced the responsibili'y of every scheme in vented by parties to enrich themselves. This principle is also about being emended to Counties and Corporal ions. This ia right and proper, and in so far as the resolutions of onr friends in Allegheny county will aid in these important reforms they are worthy of all commendation. Wo are opposed to aH ideas of repudiation, but at the same time the tax payers have an undoubted right to see that they are not burtbened with taxes for schemes of improvements, the granting of assistance to, which is not among those powers that can be rightfully or legally exercised by tbsir representatives either of a Legislative, a Coun ty or Municipal character. This is the point to which, if we understand them, the Alle gheny resolntions were directed. We invite lUCutioa to those resolutions.— Pennsylw.nian. From the New York Express, QiUi inst. 1 be Burdell Property. The Surrogate, this morning, rendered the decision in the case of (tie Burdell estate. It is a very voluminous and learned document, and covers all the points of this complicated question. The Surrogate decides that Mrs. Cunning bam was not married to Dr. Burdell on the 28th of Ootober, 1856, and consequently that she is not entitled to administer his estate. This deoision will relieve Mrs. Cunning ham ol the charge ol felony, as regards the production of a false beir. It however, subjects her, as well as her daughter Augusta, to indictment and prose cution for perjury, they having both positive ly sworn that the marriage took place. The Surrogate concludes as follows: . It becomos my doty to prononnce against the allegation of marriage. The reasons lead ing to this conclusion may be summarily stated thus:— 1. The marriage wia clandestine—and there iy no preeumpiiou in favor of a secret marriage, neither preceded or followed by cohabitation. 2. The clergyman selected was unknown to the parties. 3. The place appointed waa distant from Ibe decedent's residence. , , 4. The oqjy witness chosen to be present was one of the daughters of the claimant. 6. The witness is contradicted by her own atatementa made uuder oath at different times and by other evidence. 7. The certificate of the marriage affords no evidenoe of identification. ' 8. The .certificate is ineorraot as to the name of ifce decedent, sod evinces ignoranoe or error as to the place of his nativity. 8. There waa auspicious circumstances attending the transaction.' 10. The marriage was not confided by the olaimant to any member of her family, save one. 11. There was no private or public aol M> • knowledgement, no cohablntion, but the J alleged parties lived ai single persons. 12. Ouihe part of (he claimani there were confidefttiel relatione with another person, (n rcppeet to whelm the decedent charged im proper inti 13. I'M terms of the settlement of (he ealte alleged to have led to the marriage, are in writing,'and exclude ite aesertion of Other terms. 14.*Ybe marriage took place after the set tlement bad been concluded, and carried out. 19. The claimant executed written inatra menta to the decedent in bar-own name, altar the marriage. fty* Assigned a judgment; be drew a check to the order. She endorsed it, and he swore to the affidavit, hi all wbioh she was described by her own name. • 16. At the settlement she stipulated for a new lease of the house. 17. Shortly before the decedent's death she released all causes of action, and abandoned her agreement for a lease. 18. He spoke of her with contumely and reproach, and made repeated declarations against marriage. 19. He was determined to compel her to leave the premises, and a new lease to an other party was about to be executed. 20. The marriage was first announced after his death. All the evidence is elaborately reviewed, and thailhrevious reluionn and conduct of Dr. Butdell ar.d Mrs. Cunningham considered affording, as the Surrogate says, the strongest presumtion against even a voluntary mar riage, and utterly repugnant to a compulsory marriage, insisted upon as one of the terms of the settlement. Tfce following order was entered :—"Lei an order be entered, declaring that the claim ant, Emma Augusta Cunningham, ia not the widow of the decodent, and directing letters of administration (o be issued, to the deoe denl's next of kin, on giviug the proper secu rity."
