ing the Mcpherson College, bought in
1853 for the purpose Oferecting thereon
a Courthouse suited to the dignity and
growth of Memphis. 1t will be re-
membered by our citizens that the
sum then paid for this lot fronting 40
feet on Adams street and running
back to Washington 300 feet, was S2S,-
900 cash; now, as we learn from reliable
authority, but SIS, 600 cash has been
offered and good judges say it is not
at present worth more than $4,000.
When we consider the lapse of time,
our growth in population and trade
we can scarcely believe so low an
estimate justifiable on any other plea
than that there is no present demand
for real estate. We therefore suggest,
/ as likely to be most satisfactory to Our
citizens, that the Commissioners sell,
(if at ALL the lot to the School Board
as a site for a school building for
which it is admirably located and
adapted, and that il be sold to them at
such rates as Will enable the visitors
to pay for it without embarrassing
themselves or interfering with any of
their plans or purposes. The people
will not regard favOrably a sale to pri-
vate parties at $4,000 of a piece Of
property which ten years ago cost
S28,0 especially in view of the fact
that since the election values are look
ing up and prospects are Frightening.
We commend this matter to the seri-
Gus attention of our citizens.
WITHIN the month two planters on
Bayou Teche have contracted for resi-
| dences, to be furnished here, conveyed
on hatboats and erected in Louisiana.
The difference in the cost of labor and
materials in this city and New Or
leans is nearly One-haIf. The con-
tracts and plans and specifications, in
both instances above referred to, were
made by James B. Cook, the well
known architect of this city-in one
| instance, for Mr.. Bethel; in the other,
for a BaltimOrean, who has his con-
tracts executed here, rather than in
| Cincinnati or New Orleans, His resi-
dence will cost about SS4,GSg. 4 will
be finished In this city and shipped,
with the brick for the ehimneys and
underpinning, on a fiatbOat. The Bal
timorean, after careful investigation,
prOno6Iees Memphis the cheapest
market for mechanical skill and build
ing materials Ia the West or South.
1t thus will happen thai tA6 surplus
wealth Of sugar planters, who own 4F
