A REvoLUrIoY.-In 1857, when the
bone and sinew of Charleston and Sayan-
nah were here in the shape of railroad
men and fremen, Court Square was like
that lake Of pitch described by Dante
wherein young devils eternally play leap
frog. Finney and Fackler took it into
their heads to improve the place, and at
an outlay of twelve thousand dollars
turned the horrible square into spot OF
loneliness, worth millions to the city. 1t
is now proposed by enterprising mer-
chants to take down the dingy row of
lawyers nests on Court street and erect
in their stead spacious building, to be
used as Chamber of Commerce. This
indeed will be revolution much to be
desired, and will meet the favorable
views of every progressive spirit among

roRT pIcKERINe PROPERTY.


Last evening we had a glance at the
list of property claimed by the United
States for the non-payment of taxes. u
Is in the hands of General Patterson,
Internal Revenue Collector, and may be
examined by parties interested on call
inc at his office in the AyreS Block,
Second street. The list embraces the
whole of the Fort Pickering property, as
well as other real estate in the Four
tenth Civil District of Shelby county.
There seemed to us to be about three or
four thousand lots named on it. Twenty
seven blocks which belonged TO Scruggs
& Wickersham are marked down, as
well as the blocks and lots of two or
three hundred other persons. The total
valuation of all is placed at 5000, 40 AS.
the right of redemption is barred, there
is no legal way left to those who pur-
chased lots since the sale by the United
States Commissioners except by sueing
the parties who sold them. This course,
however, would cause considerable
trouble and expense to the large num-
Der of poor men who bought little
homes in Fort Pickering since the
close of the war. We therefore
suggest that meeting Of all interested
be held at once, and that petition stat
ing the grievances of such confiscation
by the Government be drawn up and
forwarded to the Secretary of the Trea-
sury or to President Grant. Something
of this kind ought to be done, otherwise
the accumulated earnings Of a thousand
poor men win have been expended for
nothing, and they will be forced to sub
nit to the cruel treatment of being
thrown out of their little homes.
