THE TENrm WARD.
Prospective Election Of the Squatters
War Landmarks 10 be Swept Away
aud Property Searched Out.

mon Council, published in our issue OF yes
terday morning, it will be seen that tbs
City Marshal is to notify all persons occu-
plying frame buildings fronting on streets
in the Tenth Ward, that such buildings
must beremoved within ten days. This mea-
SIRE. if carried out and there is no reason
to believe it will not be, will sweep of, to
the number of hundred and rising, the
novels, shanties and little low wooden
structures which are spread so thicllly over
the Jagged surface of that redoubtable
ward. These buildings we're hastily con-
structed during the war, by all sorts of peo-
pie, and for all purposes, from a pie stand
to a GROCERY, aud from modest suburban
residence for a temporary proprietor to a
Joint piggery and wash house. The squatlers
who settled upon the land had homestead
law Of their own, and recognised neither
the checkered plan of the city of Nashville or
the black lines that marked the boundaries
of anybody's addition" In fact, the thing
was run entirely independent of anything
like a corporation, and there was little
prospect then OF annexation to this side of
the railroad. The working capital Of this
the ragged and dirty dimes exchanged by
the soldiers constantly passing to and fro
from camp to town; though Outlines the
fragrant hot coffee, the thickness and flavor
Of which bespoke Its innocence of anything
like the luscious contents of fresh egg or
two, was poured forth as freely, and the
zigzag crust of the mysterious pies cracked
as merrily at the rustic of notes on broken
Northern banks, as at the more healthy
sound of genuine shinplasters. No one
once thought of streets or of lots long before
laid ont in the order intended to be OBJ
served by future occupants, and the thor
oughfares of the Ward were efectually
obscured, only to be again brought to light
BY the recent action Of the City Council.
From the Nashville & Chattanooga rail-
road to the penitentiary, the Marshal will
enforce the law, and Black Centre, as the
Black Centre of days agone, will be no
more. The lurid flames of conflagration
will no more sweep over the sloping, shin
gled roofs of HelPs Half Acre, and ere long
the sonorous notes of the City Engineer, as
he points to the landowner the spot of
ground once known as his, (the land
owner's) will be heard upon the lines of
the vacated real estate, and the clink of re-
sounding bricks will soon be heralding still
further Innovation. Farewell, old boards
