FRIDAY. Aug. 31-P. NJ.


The stock speculation to-day was feverish and
irregular from the opening Of business to iis end
There WAS a less general disposition shown to follow
the inward movement of prices than was mani
tested IN Yesterdays dealings; but waiting policy
on the mart of the room traders prevented any
serions interference with the efforts of some of the
leading GENERATORS to mark higher figures. so, except
for Lake Shore, Central and Hudson, and Louis
VILE and Nashville, the final prices OF to-day gen.
orally are from Il to 2 per cent higher than were
last evenings closing figures. The stocks OF the
Northern Pacific system are ;nnong those which
.bow the greatest advance. and they en-
loved the special attention OF the same
hrokcrs firms which six months ago
were the heavy buyers of Denver Rio Grande at
5Ol055. Delaware, Lackawanna Il Western and
Jersey Central also were coTespondlngy strong

THE DEMOCRATIC ASS O.
GATED PRESS.

1t has long been q custom for
Democratic newspapers to. account
for the paucity Of their press dis
patches by raving at the so called
Republican Associated Press.
The following dispatch, dated
Chicago, November 6, comes over
the wires of the Associated Press:
In an interview Senator Fair
stated that Tilden seemed to be the
man of the hour. He had great
strength with the people. and if
nominated would rally the entire
party under his banner, besides re
ceiving some support from Repub-
licans who believed he had been de-
frauded. California and Nevada he
regarded as surely Democratic next
year; in fact, he said, there could
be no doubt of Nevada's electoral
vote.
Now is the best possible chance
for some Republican newspaper
who wants an excuse for stopping
its Associated Press dispatches to
abuse the Associated Press, etc.
The Democratic genius who sent
the above either manufactured it
out of whole cloth or took it from
an interview with Fair which was
perhaps a couple of years old
He probably did not know anything
Of the reputa ion which the Senator
enjoys in his own State. Here in
the sagebrash he is admired as the
greatest liar ever produced upon
the habitab!e earth. In the last
Presidential campaign Nevada went
Democratic. for the first time in
years, because Col. Fair threw his
sack into the fight and purchased
votes by tho wholesale. Having
gratified his vanity and secured an
Office for which no had no personal
qualifications he will never put up
another cent.

JUSTICE TO MN. McBURNEY

JUSTICE TO MN. McBURNEY
Some days ago the APPEAL stated
that the Board of Equalization Bill
was lost through an Assemb lyman
who. voting in the affirmative,
merely grunted when his name was
called and was misunderstood by
the Clerk. John Dennis. the author
of the bill, takes digerent view.
however, which is republished as a
matter Of Justice to Mr.. McBurney:
1--WE notice an extract from the
Carson APPEAL. in an exchange,
which does injustice to Hon. James
McBurney. Assemblyman from this
county. It charges him with the
defeat of the State Board of Equali-
zation bill in the Assembly by not
voting for it in an audible voice and
by permitting his name to be re-
corded on the negative when it
should have been on the affirmative
side. The writer of this was seated
alongside of Mr.. McBurney in the
Assembly chamber when the latter
voted on that bill. He voted faye"
in distinct and ordinarily loud
tone of voice. His seat was hardly
six feet from the Clerks desk, and
he spoke loud enough to be heard
in almost any part of the room. It
is seldom that member listens to
the Clerk or Secretary as he num-
bles hurredIy over the affirmative
and negative votes. and in this in
stance Mr.. McBurney was busy foot
ing up the result on his printed roll
call on which he had been ta!lying
the vote. The writer was looking
over the same roll call and neither
noticed that Mr.. McBurney's name
was incorrectly recorded as read by
the Clerk. The mistake was not dis
covered until after the result had
been announced by the Chair, ard
then the opposition refused Mr.. Nc
Burney the privilege of having his
vote correctly recorded, it requiring
q suspension Of the rules and two /
thirds vote to enable him to do So
The same tactics were resorted to
on the following day, when by some
parliamentary hccus pocus, the par
ticulars of which we do not now re.
member, the motion to reconsider
was worked within the boundaries
of the two thirds rule. This was
the manner in which the bill was
defeated, and is but justice to Mr..
McBurney to state that no blame
should be attached to him for it's
miscarriage.

CHANGE IN TIME SYSTEM.
How the New Uniform Time Will
BE FLASHED Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17-At IL O'Clock noon
on Sunday next the change to uniform sys-
tenn OF time will go into effect. The naval
observatory, which has been furnishing
the Washington time through the me-
dunn of the Western Union Telegraph
company to the greater parts of the
country east of the Mississippi, will at that
time send, instead, the time Of the seventy
fifth meridian. The time is eight minutes
and twelve seconds faster than the Washing
ton time. The preparations necessary for ths
prompt and proper Inauguration of this i'm
portant change are few and simple, ami
have already been made by the observatory
authorities. When Sunday noon comes
the beats of the observatory clock will
be sent throbbing over thu wires from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi, announcing the
correct time of the seventy-fifth meridian
Fer years at 8 minutes before IL noon the
telegraph operators have closed their instru-
ments in order to leave the wires clear for the
daily time dispatch from the naval ofs97va-
tory. There will, therefore, be rs change in
the nletaod OF distributing the time. For the
sake OF convenience the face Of the clock
VIVID Wien the wires are communicated will
: IS changed so as to give the time of the
seyenty-ffth meridian, instead of the old
time This will be accomplished by simply
moving the minute-hand eight minutes
ahead. The pendulum Of this clock closes
the circuit on the telegraph wire at each
best. The wire running into tina clock is
connected with an artimine in a table where
six wires converge. The beats of the pendn-
lum are thus transmitted simultaneously to
the six wires, and then begin the long journey
which embraces the immense area of our
country.

escaped. Everything remained as they
left it until the afternoon Of the second day,
when every screw in the wooden coffin was
examined and the creases in them were
found, one and all, to be filed with rust, prov
ing beyond a doubt that neither the wood nor
lead coffin had been opened All were then
pushed back into the sarcophagus. which was
cemented perfectly tight, as it had been be-
fore their visit. The remains have never been
removed from the monument from that day
to the present time, and all is absolutely safe.
As to indications of petrifaction, the idea OF
any substance in an air tight lead Enclosure
turning to Stone no matter where it may be
placed, is too absurd for a moments serious
thought. Very respectfully yours,
j. C. POWER, Custodian.
. Custodian Powers has been seen and ques-
toned concerning dispatch which appeared
recently He said the card he had published
in The State Register contained all the facts
the public were entitled to know at present.
In reference to the statement in the paper re-
ferred to- that "the flesh had fallen from the
bones, Mr.. Powers said: ''No part of the
remains of Abraham Lincoln has been seen
by mortal eyes since they were soldered up
in the lead coffin Oct. 8, 1874, two years be-
fore the attempt of the thieves to steal the
body. As have already said, they are abso-
lutely safe, just as they were placed in the
coffin wears agon
