THE FENIAN WAR IN IRELAND.-The
Dublin letter and the extracts from Eng
lish papers which we publish this morn
ing give us detailed information on the last
days of the Fenian in%surrectiOn. There
was no lack of men, no lack of ammuni-
ton, and, in particular, no lack of sympa-
thy, and many of the English papers bore
witness to the dangerous character of the
outbreak. But there was undoubtedly a
great lack of leadership, and on Thursday
morning, where our previous account left
off, the backbone of the rebellion was
already broken. There still were concen-
t~rations of Fenians in Cork, Tipperary,
Waterford, and Limerick counties, but
they were easily subdued. No firm foot
ing was gained by any of the bands, and
only two days later ION March H. the cable
announced the complete restoration OF
peace. But in spite Of this mismanage-
iaent, the sympathy Of the Irish people
with the Fenian movement stood out more
conspicuously than on any other occasion.

The NORTHERN NATIONAL BANKs.-The
New York Herald seems to have a poor
opinion of some of the banks in that Sec
ton. 1t says:
oThe new form Of the quarterly report
to be made under the banking law, now
and for the future to be required by the
Comptroller ofthe Currency ofthe National
Banks, will get at many of the facts neces-
sary to estimate not only their %solvency,
but the kind of business which has recent
ly been called thanking" The statement
of the loan and discount items must now
be divided so as to show how much COM
mercial paper and how much on call 10
spectators; the cash items must be gwen
SO as to show how much is made up OF tick
cts representing loans to officers. Another
item made up properly will show whether
b~ankshave not become the owners of stocks
which have only a fictitious value. 1t is
thought by many hat these reports will
call forth such facts in relation to some of
these banks which AVE had very enter
prising officers, well-skilled in the art of
"cornering," as will call for more "receiv-
ers" and much liquidation. These are
DAYS of investigating committees, and it
would be well for the stockholders and de-
p~ositors of these banks which nave made
such extraordinary dividends to look well
to their funds"

Riot inlFishkiII, New York.

P~oJGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, March 24.-There
has been another outbreak at Fishkill al
the same place where a riot occurred d
short time since, caused by the enemies
Of Joseph Bull, who, it will be recollected,
vas driven from the place on account OF
alleged improper intimacy with the wife
of Mr.. Davis, proprietor of Davis's Hotel
OF that place. Since the first riot all the
property has been disposed of, except Mrs.
Dayjs'S private property, which was stored
in the hotel. On Saturday nighta mob of
about thirty men attacked the hotel, and
after bursting open the doors, took there
from all of Mrs. Davis'S property and con-
vcycd il 10 Gray'S Hotel. The supervisor
of the town, Mr.. Augustus Hughson, ac-
companied by Mr.. James Dearin, arrived
here to-day and placed the whole matter
in the hands of District Attorney Anthony
and William j. Thorn. Much excitement
exists at TiShkill, and vigorous measures
will bc taken tomorrow morning to bring
the offenders to justice. Mrs. Davis and
Joseph Bull are at present in this city, and
il is understood that Mr.. Davis is at New
burg. A number of those engaged in the
riot OF Saturday night had already been
arrested for the previous riot, several Of
them having been indicted.

RECoNsrRucTIoS.-I learn through gen.
tlemen from different sections of the South
that the people there are preparing to yield
implicit obedience to the requirements O
the late enactments of Congress. They
will do this without even a protest-for
what more eloquent protest could be i'm.
agined than that furnished nv the proyi.
sionS Of these laws themselves2 But the
course of the Radical leaders still indicates
further exactions and expressions. An
immense edition Of the speech Of Mr.. Ste.
vcns on conHscation has been published in
this city, and will be distributed far and
wide. The fact that his infamous scheme
OF wholesale robbery is esteemed by the
leading Radicals as the most effective
"electioneering document" that can be
issued at this time, is worth lin estimating
the probability of pacifcation) a thousand
theories or volumes of speculations.-Let.

T~ELEGRAPHIC NEWS.


WASHINGTON, March 26.-HoUsE.-A
resolution ordering a survey for q ship
canal around the Louisville falls was
passed.
Butler and Bingham, in personal expla-
nations, assailed each other furiously.
Butler said he had examined evidence for
other purposes than proving Mrs. Surratt's
hanging unjustiiable. He said the memo
randum book in which Booth kept day by
day his thoughts, plans, and motives, taken
from his dead body, was withheld, though
his pipe, spurs, and knife were presented
to the court. This book was in possession
of the Judiciary Committee, with eighteen
pages of entries made prior to Lincoln's
assassination cut out.
Mr.. Butler wanted to know was that
book complete when it fell into the hands
of the Government. Why was the diary
withheld from the court? He did not
charge the gallant soldiers who composed
the court with wrong. They did not see
the diary, otherwise they would have
judged differently. Who spoliated that
books Who suppressed that evidence
Who caused that innocent woman to be
hangedl There is still in the diary these
words, written a few hours before Booths
death, which he (Butler) quoted from
memory 81 nave endeavored to cross the
Potomac five times, but failed. l propose
to return to Washington, give myself up,
and clear myself from the great crime"
Butler continued: Why was not Colonel
Conyer allowed to tell what was found on
Booths body2 He believed the diary
would show up to a certain hour that
Booth intended to abduct Lincoln.
Mr.. Bingham replied excitedly, and was
called to order for using words d~isrespect-
full to the House. He claimed that words
written after the act were inadmissible as
evidence. He denied any knowledge of
the spoliation of the diary, and disavowed
responsibility for the conduct of the pro-
secution.
The Senate amendment providing COM
missioners to adjust sequestrated debts
were referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Adjourned.
SENATE.-The bill appointing three com
missioners to hear claims against money
seized from the Citizens Bank of New
Orleans was passed.

The bill fixing the day upon which the
bankrupt bill will take effect was referred.
A resolution that both Houses adjourn

Mr.. WILSON'S LErTER.-J. NJ. Wash
korn, Esq. My Dear Sir,-In reply to
your question, Does the law as IL now
exists ~disfranchise the rank and file Of the
soldiers who had never taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States" have to say that 1t does not dis
franchise them.
The constitutional amendment disquali-
tios from holding Office certain persons who
have taken an oath to support the constItu-
ton of the United States and then engaged
in the rebellion, or gave aid or comfort 70
il. This classof persons are DISTINGUISHED,
and all other persons are entitled to vote.
These persons are mentioned in the con-
stitutional amendment so that all persons
will know who are disqualified and disfran-
chised. Yours truly, HENRY WILSON.
I'VE have repeatedly made this state
ment, yet 1t is worth republishing as
coming from a Massachusetts, senator, and
as correcting a careless averment in the
Presidents last veto message.

TERRIBLE CRIME IN A LOYAL STATE
Great excitement is now existing at
Brandon, VT, owing to the discovery OF
the body of a daughter of Mr.. Goode-
nough buried in her fathers cellar. The
girl had been missing for some time, and it
was supposed that she had either com
mitted suicide or been accidentally
drowned in one of the mill streams OF
ponds in the vicinity. Mr.. Goodenough
has been arrested and lodged in Jail at
Rutland on suspicion Of having murdered
her, the report being that he wished to get
rid OF her on account Of her being of I'M
sound mind. The unfortunate girl was
eighteen wears of age.

THE Poor REBELS.-On Monday, in the
Senate, Mr.. Sherman reported from the
Committee on Finance the House joint re-
solution providing that
Whereas there is now in the hands of the
Treasurer of the United States, as special
agent of the Treasury Department, several
millions of dollars, the proceeds Of pro-
perty captured during the rebellion, which
money is under the control of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and as it now stands
may be disposed of in settling claims pre-,
ferred by the alleged former owners OF
said captured property without the sane
ton of Congress and whereas it is con-
sidered proper that such claims should not
be settled and paid without first receiving
the approval of Congress; therefore be it
ReSOlre1, etc., That all moneys thus held
by the Treasurer of the United States shall
at once be covered by warrant into the
United States Treasury, only to be drawn
out by authority of law.
On motion of Mr.. Sherman, the joint
resolution was postponed till the first Mon
day in December next. ITO await our
reconstruction movements.l

GREELEY DESIRES NO MAN TO BE Dis
FRANCHIsED.-The last number of the New
York Tribune says as to the persons who
are dislranchised
EVERY loyal citizen, black or white, is
enabled, by the two reconstruction acts,
to have a voice in the good work of resto-
ration, with at least four-filths of those
who have been rebels. The remaining
fifth we hope to see enfranchised very
soon. Congress has provided for that in
the pending constitutional amendment, and
we trust that its consummation will not
long be delayed. The South clearly un-
derstands, as we do, that the way to this
lies through a prompt and cheerful con-
formity to the requirements Of Congress.
The South seems to be acting we'll her

"Prouided, That diplomatic agents shall
not be permitted to wear any court dress
except such as shall be prescribed and the
patterns drawn by the chief tailor of this
nation, who is now presiding over its des-
t~inies." [L~aughter.l
The Speaker. ruled, promptly, that the
amendment was not in order; and it was
returned to Mr.. Covode.
Mr.. NOEL suggested as an amendment
that the uniform shall consist Of a cooked
hat, looped up with an American eagle
swallow-tailed coat with stars and stripes
on the tail butternut pantaloons; close
fitting yellow stockings, with garters, a Ia
Franklin buckskin vest, n side black

Mr.. MCCULLoCH y CURRENCY Con-
TRACTIoN.-The reports circulated over
the country to the effect that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has violated the law
authorizing the contraction of the cur
rency by contracting during February
five millions, when the law authorized him
to contract only four, are false. The extra
million consisted of mutilated notes in pro-
cess of redemption, and will make public
statement as reTssued. The law autho-
rizes absolutely the contraction of but four
millions in any one month, and if the
Secretary fails to use that power during
any month, he cannot make it up by in
crease of contraction in the next month,
andthis is the way he understands it.-S@n.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, MONDAY NIGHT
A caucus of Republican senators and re-
representatives. was held in the hall OF the
House Of Representatives tonight, Gene
raj Banks acting as chairman, and Repre-
sentatives Ferry and Hays as secretaries.
Senator Drake introduced the subject OF
the adjournment of Congress, but was re-
minded by Senator Wilson that the caucus
was called with a distinct understanding
that this question was not to be considered.
Senator Drake expressed himself satisfied
with the explanation. The sole object OF
the meeting was to take action concerning
