JEFFXB SOK DAVIS IS hold as a prisoner of war, and uot as a prisoner of state, as hitherto supposed. The writ of habeas corpus, li granted, would bring Min under tho control of the Court, or In other words, relcaso him from military custody. In this the Government would not lnterfero, as it wonld then he a purely judicial mattor, leaving tho Court to determine Whethor or not it would reloaso prlsoucr on bail, without any consulta tion with the Prouideut. It may be repoatod that President JOHNSON has nothing whatever to do with tho present question of hail, it being confined to those who -are now hero to obtain that ond. Tho Radicals aro fearful that it will be accomplished. Case of Jcflforion Davis. WASHINGTON, June li.-Mr. SHEA, of the counsel for -JEFFERSON DAVIS, mode a motion before Judgo UNDEB -WOOD in Churu bots, in order to test the jurisdiction of tho Court? in Virginia involving the power to bold the prisoner to bail, it being a judicial question with which 'the Presiden tolma nothing to do. Judge UNDEBWOOD exprosaod the opinion, which has always beon lnsistod on by Chief Justice CHASE, that so long as martial law or military survolllanco waa enforced In Virginia, tho Courts were a mere adjunct, and to bo used ia aid of the 'military power. Judgo UNDEHWOOD declines isaning tho writ of habeas eorpu$ to bring tho prlsonor before lils Court, until he receives from the President a rolln qulahment of the accused to tho civil authorities, DAVIS "being now a prisoner of war.

O'CONOB and ex-Governor PBATT were among those present in UNDEBWOOD'S chambers to-day. 'Within the last few days Mr. DAVIS' friends, profession al and otherwise, have had free admission to him. The paasage of the resolution by the House, to-day, dec tar ing that, in its opinion,Mr. DAVIS ahould be kept in cus tody until tried by law, was superinduced by an appro .hension that ho would bo bailed.

The Fenian Demonstration, Wo copy from the Cincinnati commercial the follow ing epitomo of tho Fenian invasion of Canada. What has trauarlred slnco tho date of the publication of this article our readers have learned from our telographlo columns: The Fonian invasion of Canada at Fort Erlo has ter minated SB ontlolpated. A band numbering about a thousand crossed tho river on Thursday night, and ap peared Friday morning in possession of two miles of tho Canadian shore, having a large supply of muRkots. ammunition and groen flugs. The Buffalo papers of -aturday morning give tho mil part?cula, a of this pro ceeding, and wo ronubllsh thom on anothor page. On Friday tho Fenians had everything their own way, there boing no obstruction to the passage of as many of them into Canada as might be propared and Inclined to go Tho United States war ateamor Michigan was at Buffalo, but her pilot was missing, and tho commandor would not venture into the river without him. There was no other veasel to guard the river, and no troops to do any thing. * This was the time for tho Fonlans to go in, but they did not go to any great extent. As the five regiments Bent over only numbered one thousand men, tho milita ry organizations depended npon must havo dwindled to small proportions when activo service was required. The disposition was much stronger to stay in Buffalo' and talk than to go into Canada and fight. Ten thou sand Fenians might havo orotsod tho rlvor, with batte ries of artillery and provisions and munitions of war* but tho Interval of Inaction on the part of the authorities passed without improve mont by the conspirators. Early Friday night a aeons oharacteiiatlo of Feniantam was presented. Thero were more muskets and cartridges on the Canadian shore than men to nae thom; and yet the few men were pinched tor provisions. A tremendous mass meeting was held in Buffalo, at which there waa Immense enthusiasm, and excited ora tora, proclaimed the Irish Republic a living thing, and called luatll? for money, over a thousand dollars being collected on the spot. Mr. Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati, waa tho most distinguished orator of the occasion, and expounded the neutrality laws, prop laing toindioate to tho United State? authorities how they ?oro to properly discharge their duties. The representatives of the Irish Republic across tho river at the same time Btarted on an expedition, and, having moro muskots and powder than they could carry, and recognizing the fact that they only hold so much of the country as they stood upon, broke the gons they had no use for, and threw their procious superfluous cartridges into the river. This was a very military proceeding, to be sure, and it is remarkable that it does not seem to have ocourred to the able-bad led members of the enthusiastic mass mooting In Buffalo, that the way to give the eau BO pros perity was to adjourn across the river and take the su pernumerary mus.O'S in tholr hands The Fenians undor Colonel O'Noll started np tho railroad which rnns along the northern shore of Lake Erie, apparently with the oesigu of destroying the road, and also the famous Welland Canal. They scon encountered the Toronto VllUfl'b?<: -Yoi'J'lti'jarn. .and a sharp conti at rruu<Ad...ln and wounded, when both paruea i-.ll l>?r'c, the vunlans fearing the approach of the British reg?la:?, and the' Canadian militia committing, we suppose, the usual mistake of green troops m exaggerating the number of their enoxleS. The Fenians, on their return, fell in with and captured a small party of Canadian militia, who had oantrlved to get between them and the river. On Saturday the authorities were on the alert. The i Mloblgan nad found her pilot, and a revenue cutter had l arrived from Cleveland. These vessels patroled the river, preventing ostensibly the passage of Fenian rein forcements to Colonel O'NoiL There being a lion in t the path, the Buffalo Fenians, to tho number of three 1 hundred, were filled with anxiety to Join their brethren who bad been "fighting for Ireland," as they called it. The British regulars were known to be at hand with artillery, and It waa clear that Colonel O'Noll ?is in a trap. He was not Insensible of tho fact, and know that if reinforced by all the mass moe inga m Buffalo, he could not maintain his ground, having no provisions or means of getting any, with a regular military force pressing npon him. Concluding that Fort Erle would not be a good place to die for his country, he made sig nals that his flight to the American shore was an im mediate necessity. Tugs and canal boats were sent aoross to the rescue. How they escaped the vigilance of our war vessols Buppoacd to bo guarding Canada against further incursions is not explained. A part of tho force made their escapo successfully, but Colonel O'Noll and staff, and some hundreds of others, only escaped the Impending stroke or the British ilon'e paw to bs caught in the talons of the American eagle. Ho Intent waa Colonel ?'Nell upon his personal safety that he forgot to call in bia pick-da, and yesterday morn ing the British gcbgled thom. The United States has on hand some hundreds of prisoners, whose disposal may become a knotty and delicate question. Thoy will pro uably claim the protection of the Government, from ox y tradition, on the ground that they aro merely pol?tica d offenders, but It will be difficult to show that thoy arc not almply maraudera, who havo been engaged in rob bing and murdering the unoffending people of Canada Tho Fenians assert that their Fort Erle expedition wast feint, and that Oenoral 8weenoy Mill bo heard fron soon, having charge of the main body of the forces foi tho conquest of British America. The object of a fein in military operations ia, however, to divert tho atton tlon o? the enemy from the point to be assailed, and thi ly operation arouses all Canada, and calls her militia ti it arms at ovory point; and it also warna the United State i. authorities that vlgllanco ia required to keep tho peac on the border. y, In addition, the Niagara frontior is now perfectly se S. cure, and the four thousand British and Canadlai troops that were yesterday diverting themselves witl battalion drill, wearing white gloves, can bo safely with drawn and hurried away by rail or steamer to meet Gen Sweeny. The feint, therefore, has had the effect c preparing Canada for war, and making her whole torr! tory too hot for Fenlanlsm to thrivo in any part of II If the Fenian organization had been sa formldablo a ita loaders havo pretended and perhaps believed, ther was an opportunity on the Niagara frontier, as fair s they could havo asked, for doing a great deal of mil chief. If they had been able to throw from five to te h thousand men across the river during the twenty-ton honra that it was free for them, and a competent orB? had been at then* hoad, thoy might have made war 1 earnest, subsisting on the country between Lsko Er and Ontario, creating sympathy by an appearance i US. success, and obtaining recruits by appealing to the si for venturera with a taste for war who abound in Amerlci lot The Fonlans are in considerable force In (ho nelghbo he hood of St. Amana, where they have a belter chance I get Into Canada, and get ont of it again, than thoy ha at Buffalo. A raid in that quarter has probably take In place before this. The main attack is expeoted from ti M vloinlty of Ogdensburg, on the St. Lawrence, whei il ? General Sweeney la looked for. Bat if the Fenlai i to eastward have not turned out stronger than In the wes er which is unlikely, their forces will bo utterly Inadequs ed tor even the flrot part of their programme, and if tai ah get off as easily olaewhere as st Fort Erle, they may m ila*, themselvos lucky. When we rofloot that an army of tri- hundred thousand United States veteran volunteer .u t with all the renou reen of the nation to pr?vido them wi ve the material of war, would have a heavy aummer'a wo th'. to effect the conquest of Canada, we can approolato ii ae magnitude of the task tho Fenians havo undertaken, ai )ok the absordlty of their aspirations, notwithstanding I roh extent of their organization. on An army atrong enough to make itself rospeoted, e ua! tering Canada to drive out tho British, would doubtle ? of find a considerable portion of ?.he inhabitants of friend dlsposlcioa, ready to give assistance when assured A their own safety in doing BO, but straggling squads doiperadoes, without ? le?ble means of support, wlU *d- course onite the country against them, and inflamo t uh- people to mako an exterminating war.
