THE FBNIAN WAR QUESTION IN THE HOUSE

THE tENlAN WAX QUESTION IN THE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Considerable amusement
was created in the House to-day by resolution
introduced by Mr. Clarke, of Ohio, that the recent
successful invasion of Canada by the Fenians emit
tied that body to the thanks and respect of Con
gress and that they were entitled to be recognized
by the government of the United States as bel
ligerent power. Mr., Clarke demanded the pre-
vous question on the resolution. Of course,
it was offered as joke, and merely intended as a
satire upon the alacrity with which the British
government recognized the rebels as beligerents
at the breaking out of the rebellion in this country
Some fifteen or twenty votes were obtained in
seconding the call of the previous question; but
after good laugh the question was dismissed.
RETURN OF GENERAL scHoFIELD-HE REGARDS WAR
IN EUROPE INEVITABLE.
Major General Schofeld was among the visitors
to the White House this evening He is decidedly
of the opinion that war is inevitable in Europe.
The complications are such that it is thought i'm
possible to avoid it. Napoleon, in his opinion, is
the ruling spirit, and is merely using Italy and
Prussia to further his own designs. The general
represents the war feeling in Italy being almost
universal and believes that nothing short of the
cesson Of Veneta to that kingdom can possibly
prevent an outbreak. He is also inclined to the
opinion that Austria will refuse to participate in
the proposed congress, as ceding away of por-
ton of her territory would be an implied precedent
thereto.
THE vEEAEGO NATIONAL BANK-CuRIoUs FEATURES.
The report of the examiner of the Venango
National Bank reveals one or two curious features.
1t appears from the sworn statement of the bank,
made January l, 1866, that the government depos.
its in that institution amounted to but nnety-nine
thousand dollars. Some time in February the
treasury department drew upon the bank for sixty
five thousand dollars but the draft went to protest
and has not yet been paid but when the bank
failed, on the 28th of March, it was discovered
that the government deposits had increased to
two hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars.
The securities in the United States treasury de.
partment amount to but fifty thousand dollars. II
will be somewhat difficult to convince the public
that it was ample or sufficient.
THE CANADIAN Observation-Disclosures TO BE ISSUED
TO VESSELS IN THE TRADE.
On the 3lst ult. Sir Frederick Bruce, the British
minister, addressed note to MIR. Seward, from
which the following is an extract:
81 have the honor to inform you that the gov
eminent of Canada have authorized r. Porter,
Esq., the magistrate commanding the government
vessel La Canadienne, employed in protecting the
fisheries of Canada, to issue fishing licenses, on
the payment of the sum of fifty cents per ton Of
measurement of the vessels proposed to be used
in fishing. The license will remain in force during
this season and will confer upon the holders o.
them, as fag as the Canadian fisheries are con.
cerned, all the rights enj7yed ny the fishermen o1
the United States under The reciprocity treaty
This measure is of proyisi0nable nature.n
COL STOKES AND THE PRESIDENTS APPOINTMENTS
| OIL Win. B. Stokes, of Tennessee, who allow!

ments in his political speeches that are likely Il
react upon himself, His assertion that the Pres
dent is appointing Confederates to office in his Owl
district is so utterly untrue that all who know any
! thing of the facts are surprised at his making it
! But two Federal appointments have been made il
