But, iu our spirit of iconnmical enthusiasm, must not lose sight of the Indisputable fact thai there U a wide difference letween this aiul paralmour. A well-known statesman drcUrve that "Ills Impossible to luargh up close to the frontiers of /rewllljum iu wring lha mritotynf •if pnrrimn*,. 1 ' Economy is a virtue, ••ml parsimony Is a rice. The argument surges! « the fact that our City Father. In their Innocent scheme of rv trench rosot In public eipendlturrs, have overleaped llivir am billon and gone beyond the wishes of ■ he people, who bellere In rigid economy, yet earnestly oppose all lonorations which smack of Ultloan*. "The laborer is worthy of bis hire." sod If wn believe In this dlrinc truth, we should see to It that be seenree all that he raruo. The salaries of ereir officer from the Mayor to Constable linre been reduced, the majority i# tin-in, ono-lialf at least. Now in some Instances council has committed great Injustice to the officers of the city. and « it » Inch will be condemned by Ibe fair-thluklng men of tbe community al the ballot-bow. " The salary of the nlghi wstchnicn hare been cut down from t2 per night to •1.90, and Are members of council Toted In -favor of this redaction. Would any of these gentlemen accept the trying situation at one dollar and lift v orals a night T The original ffgure Was small enough and liarely sufficient to recompense them for the faithful discharge ol their arduous duties. Hut, say the retr.-ochcra, If thaw officers are n « tslisllod with their wages, why they nerd n-< accept the offices— wo can llnd others who will take them at our figures. On this economical principle might wc not elect tome ambitious Individual to the Presidency or Mayoralty who would be willing to assume the responsibilities i f tbc office el a reduced salary? The efaet af all Ihia will be to prevent the poor man bran aspiring to thseo lofty positions, notwithstanding his quallBi atlons, because they will not pay him for bis labor -_gn4.|h<LrkbIn<&.*l> ' t»M not look to the pracerela for support, will be tbe only persons who can flli them, and Indeed it le doubtful whether they will be content to accept such empty honors where true merit Is not appreciated.

He was k pleased to sec this effort as Ibe object lt for which it was designed 1* indeed , needed. An cxi-eriment was referred to by Mr. Whllldln, but he did not consider U by any means a fair lest >- Tbe mill had been started without r capital, and was not prepared for turn- !- tog out the necessary work.

It was simply impractli- cable, lie oould see nothing, however, ' In the way to the successful establishment of the timber boilneaa mentioned " by Colored Derrom.

Following the erection ;• of '.he wharf we would have a line of teaiuers between New York aqd ; Fhlludeljdiin, making sloppagis at a Cape May.

The gentleman also spoke W of tbe need of lime kilns In the county, *" on account of the Impossibility of getting tbe artlck to anything like road condition. Tbe lime vri are obliged i; to use it nol suitable for any purposes, " elllier mechanical or agricultural, and tbe Introduction of a few kilos would be beneficial to oar builders and "" farmer*. He expressed himself much *; interested In tbe movement they bad inaugurated, and waa glad to witness such unmistakeabie earnestness on the part of our citizens, to a matter ef so . great Importance. Mr. Edmonds concurred to the Idea ° that tbe great source of wealth to tbe !}' i-ountry lay in lis sgrlcultural praduc- " lions. If the farmer* of Cope May , would raise the amount necessary for ™ the erection of a wharf wtych would stand, it would perhaps add to the wealth of the county. Nature hod done everything for Cape May, but never intended It for n manufacturing di»I trict. He could see no necessity for ' a wharf duriug tlie winter season. The j fanners bad neither truck or berries to , ship at that time, and besides he did not thiuk tbe erection of a wharf prac5 ticabk. „ Colonel Sowver dificreU from Mr. , Whllldln and Mr. Edmunds on sonui .i |>otol*. He believed that the business : ' referred to by Colonel Derrom could be : ' successfully conducted here ; that tlie , wharf waa a necessity and it* erection 0 practicabk. He farther believed that . a bank had become necessary, and, uu- ? dcr proper management, would be most , successful. 1 1 waa not Intended to ship . berries during tbe winter season from : the wharf; but they had oysters and clams, besides potatoes and other commodifies, which together would coo- . 1 smote qnlte an extensive business.—' Potatoes could be shipped to New Yort . for 2U cents a bbL— less than one-half , the cost of ssmliog them to Pblladek . phla. During his residence at Cape . May ho never saw better times thau , when tbe New York simmers were . running. He was deeply iulertsted to I . the matter under consideration, and was prepared lo slate that If our people , would only unite in putting up this . wharf, the "Clyde Line of bteamers" | , will touch here the day after it isoom- ' pletod. Those ste alb boat mru know 1 full wall It will be to their interest. If wc wanted to m»kc oar agricultural . ' and industrial Interests prosperous we . must adopt some. such course to send I our. products, olc.. lo the New York | markets, where they have the whole j . supplying of the north and mat. Our ; SSKSi."SS,£,n£S*i . Towards accomplishing this, the first \ thing necessary was tbe erection of a r wlutrf which will at onoo guarantee us • commauicatioo with tbe metropolis. , The cost of the work should la no r Impediment tn so important an enter- ■ . prise. , Messrs. Whllldln Olid Kdmuuds wharf, if It could he made permanent. „ ' Mr. Hsynm followed with some . well-timed remarks on the subject, and , spokt at length on the necessity of a , new wharf. He showed what ailvan- { Ugrs would accrue to the Steamboat j company, who are now in tbe habit of ( putting up and taking down the woodI cn structure used as a wharf, every . summer. It would also give our farm- „ rrs the cholcv of tlie beat markets to ! , tlie country. „ Mr. F. K. Duke said otic of the speaker* hod remarked that Nature „ hod ilono so much for Cape-May, and only intended It lor a watering ptaer. ,f He would ask hliu to go back a nuui- - her of years before communication , with tlie ouulde world was established. Wtwre were the bene fits Cans May I , derived then from Its natural advan- ,, tegvs? It *as uecmorj to open the; ,. channrk oframmunieation to reap any ' ta-nellts therefrom.

Nowinor-1 drr to build up the agricultural iutereste of our county we have to open up the avenue, of communicallra. Tbe lj' erection of n substantial wharf 1s now 51 essential to the farther develomornt of at our agricultural resources. The sum or 930,000 could nol bo better Invested. ■* Dr. ITiiUlpa— in tbe course of a few to remarks explained the object limy had * iu view loeflfcettog an organization, was n> to supply If postdate tbe needed moans c ofemploymientdurtngceruln seasons of •! tbvyear. In regard to tbe erection oftbo *' wharf from what he bad heard be should R , nol be at all surprised if an spjmmrta- « from Congress could be obtained » , fur constructing a breakwater at the " Cnl designated, which would afford « necessary fadlilfea for wharfage.— fo I He thought it advisabk to confer with » I t'olonel Derrom without delay. ■' It waa moved that a committee be , appointed to devise the best means K I for securing tbe erection of a perraan- « L rat wharf St the Steamboat Landing. • Mr. Lycett remarked Uial tbe sole JJ 1 to^benefll {hs^commofiRy, and he A . thought there would be do difficulty to h , obtaining the neeeaasnry means for " ; : , dont way uTbenefltUng the pcopk was " ' to aflorfi Him facilities for nuHcing J . money.
