ton. 1t is suspected that the suit is COM
menced by collision with the company with
the intention Of allowing the United States
to be defeated and thus extinguish lien of
the United States upon some of the lands
claimed or needed by the company.
The Washington correspondent of the
Evening Post intimates that Mr.. Soule has
been practically recalled, and that the tech
meal offence of which he stands convicted
is his neglect or refusal to deliver OF CON-
municate dispatches transnStted to him from
the State Department. This is highly pro-
bable, and We may reasonably anticipate
lively time in Washington when he returns.

"CHARITY BEGINS AT HO1IE.',

The Springfield Republican says an agent
Of the Catholic University in Ireland, So
,, licited pecuniary aid in its behalf of the
Catholics of Springfield on Christmas
day, and received about $500. We hope
none of the contributors to this generous
fund will turn the cold shoulder to their suf-
fering fellow countrymen in their midst dur
ing this cold season, or any of themselves
find it necessary TO be seekers for public
charity to sustain their own existence
"Charity begins at ione," and We hold
this to be good doctrine for all men of hat
ever religious belief. Let us all take care
of suffering, degraded, benighted humanity
in our own locality and country, and these
being redeemed, We shall be prompted and
sustained by conscience to restore the hea-
then Of other lands.
The same principle touches all our Chris
tlan charities just now. This is Il hard
winter for the poor, and large amount of
benevolence must be expended upon them
before next spring. If we cannot do all that
needs 70 be done here and also continue our
contributions to missionary objects abroad,
let us do the FIRST duty first. /, is we'll per-
haps to attcmp. the enlightenment. of the
naked idolators Of Borrabooagha, even if
our sermons and tracts seem for the time to
excite their childish wonder but it is not
vi. that the means actually needed to save
the pcrishing classes among us from actual
starvation should be sQuandered in half re-
mantle enterprises abroad. Let our benz
VIOLENT Christians think Of this. And if we
could reach the ears of the Catholic prelates
We would say to them, let your cathedrlls
aud colleges wait until the poor of your com
munion cease to beg their daily bread of her
etics. 1t is neither honorable nor decent 10
extor: the hard-earned money of your people
at such time as this, for promoting the ex-
ternal magnificence Of the church, when so
many thousands Of your disciples live by
abject beggary. Christianity demands quite
another mode of exhibiting that love to God
and man which is the whole of religion.

GEN. ScoTT ON THE WAR.-Cen. Scott
has been expressing his opinion touching
the Eastern War. He says:


"The allies committed great blunder in
delaying the attack upon Sevastopol as long
as they did; that Immediately after the rails.
ing of the siege of Silistria they should have
attacked Seyastopol,at which time there was
comparatively small force in the Crimea;
that the allies cannot take Sevastopol unless
they receive reinforcements, giving them
superiority of force to the extent of from 80
to so per cent. that the Russian regular
soldiers are the best troops in the world for
defence; they never fly, but perish, unless
ordered to retreat. He thinks the allies la
Dor under great disad vantage in having
two commanding generals; that the road to
victory Is through unity of design. The
General further said that the allies could
not re-embark now without immense loss Of
men and all the materials of war in camp,
except the weapons in their hands,"
