Mammoth Hotel a. cape May.


The spirit of improvement seems finally to
have taken full possession of the people Of
Cape Island. so long known as one OF our
most attractive summer resorts Heretofore,
the town, as such, has been rather ''slow,
but now hotels are in the course of erection
and enlargement; cottages and places of
business are spriuging up in every direction
with wonderful rapidiiy; waste marsh land
is heinr reclaimed and converted into most
valuable sites for hotels and splendid marine
residences. new streets are opened and grail
cd, while the old contracted and crooked
taornughiarcs are undergoing widening
and Strengthening process by the removal Of
the houses which line them. Among the
late undertakings, mention is made of a
mammoth hotel enterprise, which is in the
hands Of joint stock company, having IL
cash capital of half million dollars. The
new hotel will stand within a stones throw
OF the surf. and will be in the form Of i
the main wing, or ley of the latter, 10 be 100
feet in length by u in width the west wing
or cross piece Of the letter, $50 feet long and
80 feet wide. II is to be four stories high,
with pia2zls 20 feet wide, to run the entire
| front of the structure. During the Fall of
1860 ii is intended 10 construct an addition
of another wing of $50 feet en- the east end
of the main one, thus giving the entire build
the body Of The house an actual length OF
800 feet All the modern appliances, so es-
sential TO comtor, and convenience in first
class hotel, such MS gas and bells, will be
provided in this immense house. When
completed, company Of between fifteen
hundred and two thousand persons can be
accommodated. Its accessibility will bt
rendered complete by the laying Of branch
track from the depot, thus alishing lis
guests at the very entrance TO the hotel
Some little idea oft magnitude of the I'M
deiteking may be CLEANED from the fact thai
one hundred carpenters commenced work
on its heavy frame this week. The whole
responsibility and supervision of the erection
of the hotel devolves on Major General Sew
ell, Superintendent of the West Jersey Rail
road. He intends the hotel, which is to b,
known as 'The Stockton House. to be o
the hest material and workmanship, and t.
have 1t finished and furnished by the first ol

TIE REVOLUTIONARY movement in Spain
has had from the beginning the warm SYM
pathy of the people If America, and il is now
felt proper that tnerr should be some active
manifestation OF that sympathy for the en-
enlargement Of the liberal and progressive
party there in the maintenance Of the noble
stand they have taken in favor Of religious
federation, liberty Of the press and tree edu-
cation. Two large and earnest meetings
have recently been held in Philadelphia ia
express such sympathy. and another was
held there Tuesday evening over which Hon.
Charles Gibbins presided.

pl1l i1IcAL ORGANIZATION

The Union League OF Philadelphia, under
the conviction that there is something wrong
ia the present methods of making political
nominations, offered in May, 1867, series
of prizes. the highest being five hundred dol
lars, for ESSAYS ''on the legal organization Of
g tie people 10 select candidates for office.
In response Ia this, numerous essays were
received. and the four considered most mer
itorious are now printed in pamphlet form,
and are in general circulation. The first is
by our friend, VIM. E. Barber, ESQ, OF
West Chester Ito whose kindness we are in
debted tor a copy D and the others are by
Chas. G. C,ruc, of the Boston journal; Z.
Goepp. Esq, Of the New York bar; and
| Iorin Blodset, OF Philadelphia.
Mr., Barber, in his essay. which is brief,
clear. and to tile point, considers that the
nomination Of unfit men for office is mainly
due to the system of delegate Conventions,
and he declares that party nominations ioi
.s Office will never be pure, tair, Or satisiac-
"tory, until they ''are entirely abolished.
The system Of nominating by general vote il

The SHOOTING of Rives Pollard was an
occurrence which, though revolving and
cnwardly, as well as wicked, has in il new
ertheless, some elements which seem like re-
ttibutive justice. A man who had been en-
gagged in so many brawls, who had always
taken the law violently into his own hands,
and lived terror to peaceful people, it does
seem somewhat proper, should be shot in
the back, from second story window, with
Dad OF buckshot. And when a witness
says, on The inquest that policeman Moore

ihst the manner Of his taking of was moth
