Conu'y Chairman Fox has received from the Republican National Committee an invitation to transmit to the Committee a plan or suggestion relative to the methods or rules for electing delegates to the next national conven tion. By rule 10 of the convention of June, 1880, it is provided that the Republican National Committee "shall, within Ibe next twelve months, prescribe methods or rules for (he eelectiou of delegates to the National Convention to be held in 1884, announce the same to the country, and a call for (hat convention in conformity therewith, provided that such methods or rules shall include and secure to the several Congressional diitrictH in the United Btatee, the right to elect their own delegates tithe National Convention." Preliminary to carrying into effect the fore going rule, tbe National Committee, on July let, 1880, adopted a resolution that in order to aid the committee in carrying out tha in structions of the National Convention, sugges tions be received from prominent Republicans throughout the country, prior to October 15th, losv: at a subsequent meeting the time tor snch transmission waa extended lo February 1st, 1881, and it was also voted that a lull meeting of tbe committee should be called to consider the subject soma time in March, 1831. In or der to lully express the wishes of the Repub licans of Berks in tne matter, the County Chairman will be happy to receive suggestions from any member of tbe parly before the lirtt of January next.

There can be no question as to the necessity of each Congressional dis trict being represented in tbe National Con such representatives should be the choice of tbe Republicans of the district. The election should not be made byaSiate Convention, nor should the delegates elected by a county convention be at tbe mercy of a fct ite Convention to be either permitted to represent the district or invited to remain at home. In order to lessen the number ot delegates the last Republican National Convention, which met in Chicago, having consisted of 770 membersit has been proposed to base the representation upon the number of P.epublieuu votes polled at the recent election; that is, one delegate for every 12,000 Republican votes polled, or a fraction ot over one half that number. This would undoubtedly be an unpopular movement, as it would leave some districts almost without representation. Under this rule Berks could not hope for more than one delegate, and would probably have to fall back for a representation upon some other Congressional district having a larger P.e publican vote.

According to the rules bitherto in force the Republicans of Berks county have been entitled to two delegates and two alternates. Tbe mode of selecting the delegates aad alternates in this county is as fair as any can be devised by tbe direct vote of the delegates to the annual Republican ciuoty convention held in tbe year previous to the assem bling ot tne National Convention, This method should certainly be adhered to, and the Republicans of Berks, who polled at the late election the magnlnoent number or votes, higher by 1,205 than had ever before been cast by tbem In this county, should be accorded their tnll rights.

Collector l'nyiuif t'p. ttie aru of 9,365.63 paid into thk count TREASURY THIS MONTH, Siuce the election the tax collectors an pointed by Ihe County Commissioners lo collect the State and County taxes in the different wards, boroughs and townships of the county, have been paying large sums of money iuto the county treasury. The aggregate amount thus received by Treasurer Dundor during Ihe present month is $9,65.63.

On election day the collectors are usually busy, and are successful in getting in numerous taxes. A number of farmers also postpone paying their taxes until after the crops have been gatheted, and a portion thereof sold, so that tbe fall is one of the best periods in the year for the tax collector. As the year is drawing to a close, most of the tax collectors of the county are desirous of paying as much money as possible into the county treasury, so that the payments can be included in this year's account, in order that when the County Auditors meet on the first Monday in January next, the amount of uncollected taxes charged against each district may be as small aa possible. Following are the payments made this month by the tax collectors for the ditforent districts mentioned, all of the payments having been county taxes for Ihe year 1880, on account: Jefferson fiery, Hereford 00 aniuel Hummel, Maxatavvuy 745 01) Dniiuhcllor, h.arl XS 00 Alfred Kuutwlor, Vtiudaor S46 00 C'uailac'hilst, Penn ouoio KranLtlu favii.
