CONTRIBUTION DAY.-The French Relief Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce in New York
city makes an earnest appeal to all the people Of
the United States TO do something to relieve the
sufferings of the destitute French people They
propose that all the churches in the country take
up collection for the purpose on the second
Sunday of March. This is n good idea. 1t
should meet the hearty, spontaneous approval of
all the churches in the nation. 1t would be
grand record, one of which every American
would ever feel proud, if in one day one great
nation west of the Atlantic by its voluntary con-
tributons, should relieve the wants and sufferings
of eight millions of starving men, women and
children, of another nation on the east of the
Atlantic Every American should feel a special
christianity, and special patriotic pride in do
ing all he could on that day TO swell the magni
tude of the contribution TO this most Christian
object We should feel double gratitude il
Americas contribution box on that day pours
more relief Into devastated France than any
other nation on the globe has contributed 10 that
object.

Universal Dominion.

The New York Post contains the following
as despatch from Washington
"The question of bringing before the British
High Commission the proposition for
purchasing part, if not all of the British
territory on this Continent, has been the subject
of much discussion among the leading Re-
publicans and supporters or the Administra-
ton. Many different schemes have been dis
cussed in all their bearings, together with the
proprety of taking at the present time any
steps having for an object the expansion of our
territory.
at is not doubted by some of our best in
formed as to the intention of United States
High Commission that a proposition of some
sort will be made for the purchase of part of
the British territory-probably that part lying
on the Pacific Ocean-in order, if for no other
purpose, to ascertain the feelings of the British
people on the matter Of disposing of the pos
sessions on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
at may be regarded as somewhat significant
that majority of the members of the Foreign
Relations Con mittee in the Senate favor such
purchase Mr.. Sumner, perhaps, goes further
than any member of the committee. He has
already addressed letter to Mr.. Fish on this
subject, in which he favors negotiating with
Great Britain, through the High Commission,
for the purchase of all her territory in North
Amerita, including the islands belonging to
that country In the West Indies, so that the
British flag will not fly over foot of ground
on thEs continent.
at Is not known yet whether the four British
Commissioners, who will arrive the last of next
week, will decide to organize without the pres
ence of the fifth Commissioner, who sails for
this country to-day. If they do, the Commits
sioners will meet by the first of March other
wise they will not assemble for few days
later"
This sounds like Universal Dominion and a
plenty of money. We used to sing in our
school-boy days
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to buy us all farm
but we don't consider that he is rich enough to
buy outthe Queens title to the British posses
sions. And then what will we do with it Shall we
put it in corn or let it produce Strawberries. 1t
would make a large strawberry patch for
Uncle Sam, besides furnishing him sleighng
parks and skating grounds for all the year.
When he gets San Domingo and secures the
allegiance of the polar bear on the Queens
American estate, he can lay his head recum-
bent in the icy folds of the Arctic ocean and
lave his feet in the Caribbean Sea.

The efforts to get national recognition OF
Homeopathy are renewed by its friends with a
considerable degree of perseverance Last week
Mr. Sumner presented series of memorials, nu-
merously signed by citizens Of Massachusetts, to

opathic chair in the National Institute at Wash
ington.
The bill, for the relief of contractors for GER
tain war vessels, that was returned with the
Presidents veto, was reported from the COM
mittee on Naval Affairs by Mr.. Nye. On the
question being taken whether the bill should
pass as vetoed the President was sustained by a
vote of 81 to 2. A new bill was then reported
with the features, Objectionable to the President
left out.
resolution, instructing the judiciary commit
tee to report upon the authority of the Treasury
Department to retain moneys due the Union Pa
cifc Railroad for services rendered the United
States, to be applied to the payment of the inter-
est on the bonds that aided in the construction
of said road, and guaranteed by the United
States, was offered by Mr.. Thayer and passed.
Under the discussion of the judicial appropri-
alton bill, it was decided TO fix the salary of the
Chief Justice of the United States at So, 500 the
salaries of Associate Justices at $S,OOO Circuit
Judges at &c. judges OF Courts Of Claims,
District of Columbia, Sc, 900, and District Judg-
es at SIS, 900 per annum.
The bill for the relief of Hon. John L. Thomas
and Hon. E. II. Webster, for responsibility in
the defaulting in the Baltimore Custom House,
was passed.
Pending the consideration OF the Judicial APP
preparation bill, an amendment was offered by
Mr.. Trumbull, repeating the clause of the law
making the possession of pardon by a man
conclusive evidence of his disloyelty, the vote
standing 25 to rs. This threw the discussion of
the question in the hands of the Vice President,
whose vote adopted the amendment. On the
discussion of this clause in the amended bill on
the following day, the vote resulted the same
way, and the Vice President again decided in
the affirmative.
An amendment was offered to the appropria-
ton bill to remove the National Capital.
Senator Salisbury wished it amended so as to
include the whipping post.
1t appears that in the House, nothing that is
foreign to the matter of bill can be tackled to it
by way of amendment But the widest possible
latitude is allowed in this matter in the Senate.
Any member can offer an amendment to an ap-
preparation bill to furnish tooth-picks for mus
quitoes or wig for u monkey, if he wish and it
is recognized This makes the progress of ap
preparations very tedious when members are
disposed to make it so.
Mr.. Wilson offered BILL to devote the pro-
ceeds of public lands for the next three years to
the establishment of public schools in the States
lately in rebellion, to be distributed according
to the number of the children in the schools

Call for ~ State Educational and
WOrEjR0HIeH' Contention.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 18th, 1871

BALTIMORE, JAM 18th, 1871.
To THE CoLoRED MEN OF MARYLAND
Fellow Citizens: Having been duly appointed
a Committee to draft Call by very many of
our most influential citizens, we issue the fol-
lowing Call for State Convention of colored
men, to assemble in the city of Baltimore, at
Douglass Institute, on Wednesday, March lst
1871, at IL M.
The objects OF the Convention are:
l. To organize our brethren throughout the
State into Educational and Labor Unions, for
intellectual improvement and the general
elevation of the race
2 To call the attention of the people of our
State and nation to the prescribed and unjust
position which we, as American citizens, are
compelled to occupy in this our native COM
monwealth.
g. To mutually consult with each other as to
the best mode of securing for ourselves and our
posterity homes, land, education, character in
huence; and tocultivate art, science, industry,
temperance, economy, morals and religion.
4. 10 further, by whatever influences we can
bring to our aid, a full recognition of our man
hood, and a fair chance through the race of
life
We can but expect good results and a
ready response to a Convention convened for
the above stated objects, and anticipate the
hearty and continuous co operation of our
brethren from the counties and cities of our
state, in working out the great reform, tending
towards giving equal chance to all human
beings.
Any correspondence or information relative
to the Convention will be received and attended
to by WM H. WooD. Corresponding Secretary,
No II Lexington Street, Baltimore, Md.
Respectfully, yours,
Rev. j. r. V. THOMAS,
DR.. w. R. REvELs,
and twenty-four others.
P. S.-Each county will be entitled to send
ten Delegates. Baltimore city will be entitled
to five from each ward.

GROWING fault6nders are busying
themselves just at this time with preferrng
charges against President Grant for granting
pardons to expelled cadets, at West Point Militia
ry Academy. This is nothing unusual with
them. 1t is the business for which they are
most competent. They have achieved profcien-
furnished with diplomas. Whom has he par
doned? Has he pardoned any one who was not
entitled to it? Governor Bowie pardons GRIM
inal occasionally. We do not hear these chronic
croakers utter any complaint about him. They
do not articulate syllable in condemnation of
Governor Bowie's exercise of the pardonng
power. For the sake of argument we will not
charge Governor Bowie with any indiscreet use
of this power. Has he not pardone1 those who
have been convicted Of crimes ten fold more helm
Gus in their nature than the charges that have
been laid against those whose offenses have been
pardoned by President Grant? Governor Bowie
has let criminals out of the penitentiary and
COMMITTED the punishment of those whom the
law sentenced to be executed. President Grant
has not entered this category in his exercise of
the pardoning power. Why should he merit
condemnation, and the Governor not?
Dear Democracy, be consistent with your crit
icisms.

ENGLISH ARMY BILL.-The British Parliament is
making an effort to reorganize The English ar
my on the system of promotion instead of that
of purchase. b this we are TO understand that
positions and promotions are to be conferred for
service and merit instead of money. Positions
of honor and impor lance, shoulderstraps and ep-
aulettes are now in the market for sale to the no.
bilIty. to the highest bidder for cash. This new
feature in the management of the army proposes
to abolish this and confer the badges Of destinc-
ton on candidates according to their merit.
This is well, if it can be the law in practice as
well as in theory.
The bill that proposes to make this change
was introduced by Mr. Cardwell. The COM
mander-in-chief is to I've appointed for FIVE years
only. The entire army is to consist of 43l 900.
OF these 100, 900 are TO be minute men, ready to
march to any part of The Kingdom or sail to any
point on the continent OF Europe, to do the bid
ding OF the Queen No more officers are to be
retired during any given year than The average
number tina, has been retired during the e We pre-
