CAP£ WAY OCEAN WAVE."1 ; CAPEIHI.ANIJ M-J. | J. 8. lbach. Editor. Publisher and PrSprtiter. ONE DOLLAR P K It ANNUM! ) Thursday, Juno 5, 18R2 th* orfosmon sailroad. Uadar the above title, ia our last isane, 1' wa thrvw ont a few random remarks, in ref- , ercnce to the proposed railroad from Kgg i Harbor City to Cape Island, called the J "Capo May and Atlantic- Railroad," with 1 the intimation that wa would follow those ' remarks with others. Perhaps, howerrr, ■ 1 such remarks -are unnecessary. . With K very j ' Jarji majority of oar renders we kn6w i they arc, us bat very few of tlte pc»pln of ; Cape May county have any confidence | wjiatevcr in the movement, or those who - are at the brvi of it. Nevertheless. : though we have said so mnch heretofore, in j reference to the soma scheme, wo will at j least redeem the promise we made last f weak. We have several times expressed oar be- i lief, that those manmmrrijig in this matter do not expert to build tlifc road; do not want a railroad to Capo XKiy. and are doiug all this ^o prevent, if possibio, the bnijd- ■ ing of one; nor arq wo alone in this belief ; , but have nearly all tbe people in the county with os. But who are the prime inov- j era in this enterprise ? Why, the Camden | and Atlantic Railroad Company, as everyone knows. And why do they not want a railroad to Cape Meyt Why for the very best of reasons ; because they are largely interested at AtUnlid City l and -they are well aware that it is tor thq want of a rail- 1 road lo Cope May that thut place has ever , been beard of as a watering-place, and. notwithstanding all the natural disadvan-; togas of thet'piace, and the indescribably superior ad vantages of Capo Island; that the former has become a fcrtgkduble rival j of the latter. Why, there is no reason why they should want a railroad to. Cape May, ' But then, it is said tjiat the Camden uind I Atlantic lUdlroud Company is not inUrosteil in property at, Atlantic City, rlie ^Atlantic Democrat," hf May 24"b. Says , "that that Company own nothing there but lha ground ou which their depot staud*; snd hence arenas (bat that company it not . So isterested in Atlantic City as to militate J against tbetr internal in building a rend to i Cape May. Now wo do nofjirnteud In say that that ' Company. as a corporate bodv. own nron- i >• acor|»ornU own

, erty other than that necessary for their de- ( pot be., at Atlantic Cltfr-dbt ^ presume their charter prucludys any ancb'ownerihip; , but ut tlio same time we do pretJsd to say ' that many of tbe stockholders, bondholders, directors snd officers or the rood, in - their individual qapaeiiy. do bold properly r there, end ere codsaqnenlly largely iotercs- : ted in the prosperity of that place, and we , think the Atlan ic Democrat will not pre- . tend to deny it ; and banco all its pretence at denial that they ere interested, simply breanse tbe Company does not own proper- ' ty. «% of no avail, when properly understood. Why, who does not know that - John liroadnead, >!sq., president of tbst road, i* tbe very body, |jfo and soul of Atlantic City .' And who do«a not know that J that 'tm* Wlu-inronwii m wasto howl- ^ ing si-ilderucae, slu ply to build op tbe'. ; wutertng place T ' But wu hdve other eviaenca that that I Company, ss well as others who have pro j/csseds great amount of inton-v. iu the , Cape Moyeuud AUantie rosd. sod have ! beeo, or are. Directors and officers of the | Company, do not want to, and will n«t, , build the road, end would (i f tiey coufrf) ' , prevent the building of any road to Cape , May.. And this uvideoce is drawn Iroui tUelr past conduct. Some four or five , years ago. a Board ot Directors of the , Cape May and Atlantic Railroad was ahrc- , ted, and organised. A great stir was made t i a lime, subscript iocj ts the amount of j

' some 980,000 having been made. The j ( read was in part surveyed, and paid for oat I 'of tbe treaaory of the city of the Copo IsJ land, la the tune of several hundred .dob lam.

Again i j the Cape May und Atlantic ghost hud | another peaceful ro-t, uf nearly two years j duration, there bring nothing of inrpor | lance todisturb its slumbers, until witbiu j the past year.
