THREATENED FENIAN RAID.-San Fran
cisco, February 26.-The Legislative As
srmbly has adopted resolutions approving
Of tho action of the President, and GEN.
surpg Congress for the course it has pur-
sued.
The independent press on this coast
generally support Congress.
The leading Democratic papers of this
city call on the President to declare mar
tial law in the District of Columbia, and
suspend civil business, including Congress,
until the people can speak.
A telegram from Victoria says that it is
reported that O Fenian head centre had
arrived there, and that they were in re-
ceipt of dispatches from reliable parties in
San Francisco announcing the intention OF
the FenianS to make raid on British Co.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WAsH1seroN, February 27.-As stated
in last nights dispatches, the President
Yesterday directed that application be
made for quo ,oasrdaso to require Stan
ton to answer, &c: Doubtless the papers
have been fled with the District Court,
but the President has Lot received notice
of such fling. slilf tla4I2 Ia ~ Il
Arumor has been circulating here to
the effect that Stanton has determined to
resign in day or two. There are some
circumstances which give credence to this
rumor, but so far there does not appear to
be any direct information to warrant
the statement that Mr.. Stanton will
resign. The reason assigned for this
withdrawal is that, he being out Of the
War Department, any legal proceedings
instituted by the President to test the con-
stitutionality Of the tenure of-ofice act
would fail by reason of the removal of the
cause of litigation. It is argued by those
who are advising Stanton's resignation
that the adoption Of their plan would de-
prive the President Of all means of taking
the controversy before the courts, and thus
force him to rely solely upon the opinions
and decision of members of the Senate.
The late register of deeds for this dis
trict, Mr.. Eddy, died yesterday. Several
applicants for the position have already
filed their petitions.
A letter read here to-day from Hon. J.

vernon of New Hampshire, contains these
