O. OF N. j. R. K. Stock.

Monday most dastardly crime was commit.
ted by some stock gamblers in this city. the ap-
parent object Of which was to injure the credit
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and to
depress the prices of its stock and bonds. Four.
teen kilograms were transmitted hence to New
York. purporting to have been sent Dy several
bankers, brokers and bank officials to their
various correspondents in New ork. We give
two copies Of the kilograms alluded to
"Jersey Central Will go protest. Canuot be
avoided" i..
- Jersey Central will go protest. Loans are
being called In"
All the rest were OF the same tenor. AS far as
we can learn, the names forged to these tele
grams were Bowen q Fox. Brice q Co., Waite,
Powell Il Co., @. CamblOs d. Co., McMichael,
First National Bank Cashier Corn Exchange
Bank. and L, NJ, Lewis, Farmers and Mechan.
los Bank. Tho other seven names forged TO
these kilograms we did not learn. but they were
all we'll known p.rties. Tho kilograms were
sent over both the Western Union and the At.
lantlc and Pacific lines. OF course the tels-
grams were base faDrioatiOns, The first thatwas
known Of the fraud came from parties ut New
York who. on receipt of the telegrams. made
inquiry Of the parties here whose SIGNATURES
had been forged. The falsehood is irom the
whole cloth, no such thing as gUIng 10 protest
on any similar trouble being contemplated 1t
is hoped the authors OF the dastardy act may
be discovered and punished as they deserve

joint resolution Of Mr.. Edmunds, pro-
posing an amendment oi the Constitu-
tiou of the United States so rs to have
the electoral vote for President and
Vice President counted by the Supreme
Court aud the amendment proposed by
the Comm ttpp on Judiciary providing
that the electors shall vote viva voce
Instead Of by ballot.
Mr., Morton opposed the bill urging
forcihle reasons why u should not be
passed, Saying, among other things,
that II would be placing dangerous
power In the hands Of the Supreme
Court, and would naturally result in
imparting a partisan complexion to that
bOdy; and that in any future election
the defeated party would charge the
Court with fraud and Partially.

carriers shall be $500 for the first year,

for the third year and afterwards ; and
making the compensation in cities of
less than 100, 900 not less than six hun.

discussion attended the adoption of this
resolution which was fnally brought to
conclusion by the adoption of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Cox, of New
York, to the effect THAT committee of
five be appointed to proceed to the
cities OF New York, Brooklyn, and
Jersey City, to examine into any alleg.
