FOREIGN TELEGRAPHI0 SUM-
MARY.

It is stated that official inform alton has
been received at St Petersburg that the
Chinese have massacred $4,000 men, wo-
men and children at the Kasghar town Of
Manas This, II true, eclipses the hor.
rors of Turkish despotism and rivals the
barbarities of the dark ages-The Russo.
Turkish peace question continues the
absorbing topic abroad. Its discussion
assumes less irritant character. both In
England and Russia-Greece demands a
voice in any preliminary congress for the
conclusion of peace-The Turks having
abandoned, ,Sofiaitwill be taken blythe Rus
SLAMS without resistance. Only 10000 of
troops, however, have retIr-
ted into Roumelia. The remaining TO-,
900 are distributed in the forts of the
quadrilateral-It is rumored that the
British government has pardoned the
convict Fenians--The imperial order of
the Crown of India has been created IN
England, for ladies only-Cholera is pre-
vailing at Jiddah and Mecca, Arabia.

THE GIANT CITY OF THE WEsT.-In
the fall of 1850 we visited Chicago. 1t
was then inferior as a city to Whining
ton and contained about as many inhabi-
tants. = In letter to the Delaware State
f. & NJ. Insurance Co., of this city, from
one of the most reputable and reliable
insurance men in the country, asking
be made its agent there, we quote the
following extract showing the growth of
this giant city of the West since we saw
1t as In miserable mar in 1850:
Chicago is the representative city of
the railroad era in the interior. 1t is s
miles long by miles WIDE, has 450 900
population, its annual trade is $500, ,1OO,-
900 per annum, has 125 miles of paved
streets, its real estate is valued at $780,
100000; the water works cost So, 900 900,
with capacity of 150, 1000, 900 gallons
daily, has 425 miles of water pipe, 5000
fire hydrants; 10 cisterns, SO steam Are
engines, 80 hose carts, $1,000 feet of hose
400 miles of fire alarm telegraph, 100 sig
nal boxes, 2 fire patrols, and the fire
limits are co-extensive with the city
In 1876, II miles of frontage in stone anc
brick buildings were erected, in 1877, II
miles OF stone and brick buildings wsr,
erected.

THE LIMITATION OF Coin In the
House of Representatives of the Mary
land Legislature, on the Sd inst, Mr..
Kinks, a Republican, "oiiered an order
that Maryland Senators and Representa-
lives in Congress be requested to oppose
the Bland Silver bill and any measure
by which coin other than gold be made
legal tender in sums less than 800; re-
ferred to committee on federal relations.
Here is another effort in the interest OF
the brokers who have made fortunes
through the sale Of gold and operations
in bonds. As it is very rarely that a
large bill is paid in coin of any kind, it
seems unnecessary to limit silver as a
legal tender. Checks are universally
used in the payment of large bills. If a
bag of silver were carrie d to a creditor
the debtor would be required to remain
until the silver was counted, and if 1t
were ''cart load" it would be the same.
Time would be lost and risk run of losing
the money on the road. And would not
there be even more trouble by paying a
large debt in one dollar notes? We hope
there will be no restriction on the gold
and silver currency of the country, ex-
cept that which applies to the small frac-
Jional parts OF a dollar.

JANUARY 5.Is1s.

OLD TWEED, 1t is now supposed, will
soon be released from his confinement In
Sing Sing prison, having been made to
urrender the great mass Of the property
he had stolen.
There is, however, large quantity of
money that he has never been asked to
restore, and among this is that with
which he purchased the great newspapers
of New York. For we believe it is sus-
ceptible of proof that he did purchase
them indirectly, and they never exposed
his career Of plundering until he refused
to pay. When he rejected bill of $780,
600 of the New York Times for adver-
tisine at 81 line after repeated solici-
tations, that paper commenced the ex-
pose more with the view of frightening
Tweed into paying it than for doing
service to the city. But it killed the
goose that laid the golden egg. Tweed
has been made to surrender his plunder,
but we believe most of it has found its
way into the hands of the lawyers and
court officers, who have great sympathy
for the great thief.
The recent report Of the committee on
the subject of the Ring frauds in New
York, as appears by to-day's Herald,
make it appear that between January l.,
1868, and July /, 1872, the enormous
sum of thirty millions of dollars was
fraudulently divert. from the city treas
ury by the corrupt practice the Ring,
and that this does not include the
amount stolen by the Ring in the Board
of Supervisors between 1860 aud 1866
1t is safe to assume, says the report, that
from 1860 until July, 1871, the people of
New York have been robbed to the ex-
tent of fifty millions Of dollars at least.
The amount recovered by all the suits
amounts to only $1,119,525, and when
the legal expenses are deducted there is
left as total net amount recovered only
SS76,24l, or less than one fiftieth of the
amount stolen.

AS the time for the reassembling of
Congress approaches rumors thicken of
intendended investi cations. 1t is said
for instance, that an attempt will be
made IN the Senate to declare Senator
Buffers seat vacant, but there is little
foundation for this report. The Senate
has held on several occasions, notably in
that of Kansas Senator, that once ad-
mitted to his seat Senator cannot be
removed except by expulsion, which re-
quires two-thirds vote.

An EXPLANATION OF THE TRAMP
NUIsANcE.-The Hon. Montgomery
Blair, in presiding over a charity CON
vention in Baltimore, last week, .uh-
dertook to explain why there were so
many tramps IN the United States.
There has been an enormous accumh-
lation Cf wealth in the hands of the
few. "John Jacob Astor," he remark
ed" in former years the wealthiest
man In the country, and yet was not
worth half n millIol In 1880; whtle
ow there are hundreds OF millionaites
whose Incomes are millions, and
even tens of millions" He computes
Vanderbilt's income as equal to tine
earnings Of 10000 workIngmen, and
That OF Flood and O'Brien at 20,00D,--
600 (O, which is equal 20 the earnings
of $1,000. Three hundred uch In
comes, he goes on 10 say, would hb-
sorb the earnings OF 1S,000.s
600, laborers. at is certainly a
startling condition of things" he
adds, shat at least 200, 900 able
bodied. intelligent and energetic me n
have been suddenly left without ems
ployment, to wander through coun-
try abounding in natural wealth, and
capable.of supporting ten times its pres
ent population, whiie ali ITS wealth. is

lFRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIE TRIBUSE
LONDON, Feb 9.-Thursday's scare berg well
over there TO hope the next may not occur
for a day or two But this last has done its work
most efiectualy. 1t has given trimming Liberals an
excuse for retreat. 1t has given the Government a
victory all along the line. speak OF the Govern
ment with reference to its opponents at home; not
at all with reference to its opponents abroad Inc
rost Jealous partsans OF the foreign policy which
the Government has secretly pursued proclaim
aloud its discontinue. 1t has allowed Turkey
TO DO sacrificed 1t has looked on while
Russia marched from the Danube to the Darda-
nelles, or thereabouts 1t has endured rebuifs put
no with delays tolerated encr0achments, and, IN
general way left all those things undone which 1t
ought have done. But it has carried its point IN
Parliament. The vote Of six millions, to be spent
or not spent for fixed purpose, and in pursuance
Of policy which varies from day to dSy, has been
granted. The Liberal party deserted by Its lead
ers has fed from the field of battle, only forlorn
minority of hundred dying valiantly III the last
ditch with their faces the foe Such is the result
of policy of steady lying on the one hand-the
word has lately become parliamentary-and OF
faiutbearted maneuvrng on the other.
The story which startled all London on Thursday
about the actual occupation OF Constantinople, was
as you know, untrue Down to this moment, no.
body quito knows whence it arose though the
channels through which 1t spread are plain to tho
sight Of everybody. Then came dispatch little
later from Mr.. Layard-the honest. credulous man
to much the same effect and the reading of it in the
House gave Mr.. Forster an excuse, which be seemed
singularly ready to seize, for Withdrawing his
amendment to tho proposed vote of credit. MIR.
Layard's story was not true, either, though good
deal of Ministerial eloquence has been expended to
prove it so--not true, certainly, in the sense
in which plain people understood it, and in
which it was, apparently. meant to be understood.
