The termination Of The session Of the
,Fenlan Congress has not By any means ended
the imbroglio Of the Brotherhood. The
quarrel still continues, and will last as long
'as there Is dollar iu the Treasury. Tho
Senate was expelled, and it Is determined not
to consider itself expelled. It still lives, and
as II has portion of the funds under Its
control, its vitality cannot be called in
question. Notwithstanding the action of
Congress, number Of circles throughout the,
country sustain the Senate, and show their
faith by sending their funds to It's treasurer.
It Is proper to state thst the contributions

and though m effort Is to be made to sell
more of the bonds, it does not promise 10 be
successful The bubble cannot hold much
longer. I prophesied somc weeks ago TINT
the fight would be maintained until the
money had been pptopriated in one way or
mother, and when 1t was all over, the appll-
cants would be staring each other in the face,
With nothing but an empty strong box be-
tween them. The funds have been reduced

dollars in the Treasury.
The funds now on hand are to be "applied
to the purchase Of nnterial Of war; How

GEN. SWEENEY AND his DISMISSAL.
The Fenlnns throughout the country were
recently nstounded by the announcement,
everywhere published, that Gen. Sweeney had
been dismissed from the army for absence
without leave. While this IVES the technical
and oetensible reason, It was hardly the real
one, as many m officer Of far less note, md
whose services were less meritorious, has over
ataid leaye Of absence without serious det-
sim=nt to his position. Gen: Sweeney, In bis
enthusiasm for his native land, warmly es-
poused the Irish cansc. lie was unable to
understand how the war could be carried at
once into Ireland, and thought the hest plan
was to strike at Canada- Tits Is the theory
Of the Senate, while O'Mnhoney and his ad-
he!ents believed ia letting Canada alone and
fighting {if anywhere out Of New York; on
the 81 onld sod''i Tbs Government Of the
United States, which, notwithstanding Its rec
ollection of British neutrality In our latc war,
has no great sympathy Tor Don Quisote Ste
phens, Sancho Panza Mahoney, or any other of
Of Canadian invasion. An attempt to revo-
lntionize ireland at home might barely escape
interference, but var upon Canada would
be altogether too much for approval. Sweeney
might have been dismissed for medd1tng With
Fenianism in any way, but that dismissal be-
Of the Senate and talked about the capture Of
Montreal mud Quebec. It Is probable that he

let Fenianism take csre Of itself.
Strenuous efforts have been made to induce

army OF the Irish Republic, but all without
success I cannot nscertnin that he has
even condescended to tnswer the letters that
havc been addressed to him on, this point.
