b. Two weeks or more ago,
the Comptroller Of Tennessee
journeyed to New York, for the
purpose Of borrowing money to
put in the empty State treasury.
He succeeded in getting $4,000,
which he carried to Nashville,
and on Wednesday and Friday
last, the whole amount was passed
over to the militia, leaving the
treasury as empty as ever. There
never was a more inexcuSable en-
ectment than the one passed
by the Legislature enrolling
Brownlow's chicken-lifters. The
ostensible purpose was to punish
the Kuklux, but not an attempt,
even, has been made to arrest
one. The real object was to
quarter a parcel of worthless fell
lows upon the honest labor and
capital of the State. 1t was a
party measure, intended to support
Radicals who were too lazy to
work, and who were deferred
from stealing only because of the
penalty. There are about FIVE
hundred militia yet in the pay Of
the State.

pays too much, to whom does he
pay it2 There are many men
who pay half they earn year af-
ter year for the rent of a home,
and after twenty years what have
they to show for it2 In build
ing association they will have a
house to show, at all events; and
if these institutions are honestly
conducted, they must get the
worth of their money.
The way to judge of this sys-
tenn of buying property is by COM
pairing it, not with a better posi-
bic system, but with the system
of landlordism. A man accumu-
lates in trade or speculation, ten
thousand dollars. He builds five
houses, costing two thousand
dollars each, and renting, at the
usual rates, for two hundred dol
lars, or one thousand dollars. In
ten years this man will have re-
ceived ten thousand dollars; and
as the interest will pay all the
taxes and repairs, and as the prop
erty is probably increasing in val
ue, he will have his FIVE houses
worth as much as at first, while
he has received In rents and in
terest their full value, and is now
able to double his property, his
receipts, and SO on indefinitely.
Now, take one of his tenants
He has paid two thousand dollars,
and lost the interest on that sum,
and at the end of the time has
not a cent to show for it. The
house goes to the landlord, the
money has gone TO him, and the
tenant goes out empty handed, af
ter working all this time to add to
the boards of another.
The object of building associa-
ton is to give man something for
his money-now he gets nothing.
The fairer and better the assOcia-
tons are planned and managed,
the more good they will do
Their object is certainly q good
one. There is no reason why
thatobject cannot be accomplished.
It is not to be supposed that five
or six dollars a week will make
men millionaires. 1t is not so
much an object to make money as
to save it; and if money is to be
exacted of labor, in the shape of
interest, there is no reason why
the laborer should not have the
advantage of it. IF the man
who pays the two hundred dollars
a year, for ten years, for house
worth two thousand dollars, had
paid it into the hands of some
friendly society, he might be at
least two thousand dollars better
off. Can any philanthropist pro-
pose some better mode than build
ing associations, of giving every
man a home, and perpetual re-
lease from the terrors and miseries
of renting?

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
Thursday Morning, May IL, 1862
Building Associations.

building Associations.
That men who want houses
should club together to build
them, seems to be SO simple an
affair that no one can object, un-
less he believes that men should
live in the open air, or 60 to rooSt
with the chickens. That a man
should own the house he lives
In, must seem reasonable TO all
who do not believe in the divine
right of landlords to live upon
the labor of their tenants. That
poor Woodworking men-should
choose TO lend their earnings to
each other, rather than to rich
capitalists, is quite natural.
The whole question respecting
these associations lies in a very
narrow compass. Is the end pro-
posed good one? Is it accom-
plished in the best manner? We
shall not discuss the right of a
man to own the soil he lives upon
and the root that shelters him.
No man should be compelled to
pay tribute to another, or to sup
port another out of the proceeds
of his labor. The maxim, every
one for himself, and God for US
all" comprises the true thought
of human liberty. Now man is
for his landlord-for whoever
lends him money-for all those
who fatten upon the labor of the
human hive.
Any method by which men be-
come the masters OF themselves
is a good one; and the readiest
and the surest is the best. If a
poor man wishes to accumulate
his earnings, be lends his money
to brokers, who in turn, in
some shape or other, lend it to the
poor. The interest falls on labor
at last. 1t can fall nowhere else;
there Is nowhere else for it to fall.
But the capitalist, who is the 60
between in the arrangement,
pockets nice commission. Now,
a building association is the ma.
chinery by which poor men loan
their money to one of their own
class; and, if it is done ON right
principles and proper security, it
must be better than the ordinary
process. In all cases, the lender
ought to be satisfied that he is Sc
cure of the return of his loan,
and of an equitable interest, or
of whatever interest is agreed up
on. This is all-and there is no
reason why loan and building
association may not be honestly
managed, as any other financial
institution.
Our whole system of finance
and trade is, In one sense, a sys-
TEN of plumber. It is a means
by which a few men live upon the
labor of many. In savings bank
the poor give the rich the means
of plundering themselves and
others, and they share the spoil.
In these building associations, too,
there is the same system; but it is
intended here that those who
share the burthens shall reap all
of the advantages.
There is no scheme of finance
which is not open to the charge
of fraud. IF a man entrusts his
property to his nearest friend, he
may be robbed of it. Every man
must use his intelligence, and get
the best guarantees be can. But
to suppose that fifty men cannot
club their earnings, and invest
them for their mutual advantage,
so that all shall be gamers, is a

CITY FLNANCIAL AEFALRS.

We have suggested way cut OF the
financial difficulty into which our city
has been thrust by the ~ill7aGyised in
Junction of FARRINGTON and others.
We have suggested special tax which
will meet the case in all its bearings.
1t will enable the city to pay the in
terest on its bonds and prevent what
| so many desire-the farther issuance
of scrip; and it will enable the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen to
sustain existing scrip up to its
present value. We can real
ize the pride Of DIR. LEFTwICH and
the Board have in the advance of city
scrip from 50 to IS cents. We can
imagine that in their zeal to sustain
these figures and to prevent u bonds
from falling back from IS to 2S cents
the figures at which they were selling
when the LEFTwICH administration
commenced-they would be willing to
part with our railroad bonds, or any
other property that would anywhere
near satisfy the demand of our cred
itOrs. But the time for selling has not
arrived. The city is not bankrupt.
On the contrary, she has not been in
50 fair a financial condition these three
years. She is not yet out of the woods,
but is nearing the confines. Her in
dustries are increasing, and her gain
in population and wealth is
steady. When the Little Rock
Railroad is finished, it is fair to
conclude that, like all east and
west roads it will at once become the
media Of an accession of trade, of pOp-
ulation and Of commercial activity
that viii Tighten our burdens of taxa
ton and enable US to bear easily what
now is almost intolerable. A special
tax TO pay the July interest, collecta-
bic within, say six to twelve months,
will only be'in the nature of a farther
subsidy to the Little Rock railroad,
and to save the stock of the city in
that great enterprise, destined to be
the first in importance in this section.
II il was worth subscribing to in the
first place, and was so much valued a
few years ago as that the city mort
gagged the n~avy-yard property for the
purpose Of preventing its falling into
the hands of outside parties, it is GER
tainly equally valuable now that it is
near completion. FIVE were willing
to jeopardise our property rights in
the navy yard to save this road when
not half way constructed what ought
We not do now, when it is not only
nearly finished, but our credit is at
stake? 1t is plainly our duty TO hold
to our Little Rock railroad stock,
and it is also plainly our duty to sus-
tain our credit. Ne can do both by
tax, and to that complexion
we must come at last. If we issue
scrip it will afford, perhaps, what is
desired by certain taX-payers-an OPP
portunity TO pay what they owe in de-
preciated paper. To sell the stock is
to surrender all influence, control or
management in what viii be the lead
ing Pacific railroad. 1t is plain, then,
that the special tax is the only RENE
dy out ofOur difficulties.
