The Chicagonese have reason to look for
ward to pretty healthy growth, but recent
estimate put forward by the exuberant Chica-
90 press exoites some comment among the
envious rival villages Of st. Louis and New
York. This estimate OF forty per cent. in
crease will give Chicago iRthe year 1900 forty
nine millions Of people, and, as the total popu'
lation of the country increases only at ;he rate
Of three per cent. year, in 1900 half Of the
100 1000 will live in Chicago, and before
another century passes by, everybody, includ-
ing the consumptives, will live in that city; or,
more likely, the United States will be called
Chicago.

the rebellion. She resided in Richmond while
the Federal army was besieging that city, and
freoueptly furnished most valuable informa'
tion TO General Grant relative TO the forces
positions, &C., of the Confederates, including
diagrams and valuable documents, which were
conveyed to the Union army by Mrs. Van LEWIS
two male slaves, in whose clothes were sewed
mo the communications intended for General
Grant. III this way she lost her slaves, they
remaining on the Union side, and OF course
being free"
The latest report from Washington is, that
the administration has, upon due considera-
ton, come to conclusion identical with the
opinion expressed by Senator Edmunds, II at
there is no impedimert in the way of sending
nominations to the Senate, whether for vacan-
cies or removals; that the Tenure-of-ofice law
is only operative during recess OF Congress,
when the President cannot remove but may
suspend an officer, and the latter can ouly be
done for cause. But 1t is the opinion of Cabi-
net officers and sound lawyers generally that
the President may in effect remove officers
during session of Congress by sending the
nominations of successor to the Senate and
the latter CONFIRMING the same. This being
the case. the President can proceed to nomi-
nate whenever he pleases, without restraint.
