 STRIKE IN THE CAMP -THE OLD FoG1Es F,ooRrD. l. Syracuse, May 10, P. M. The know nothing State convention IS still Tn session, lut we hear but little of its proceedings. Se notor Goodwin has been elected High Chaplain. Rinchamton has been selected for the next meeting, instead of this place. It was under s4ood that there was considerable strife last evening. between young America and the old fogies: the former getting the best of It.
 The New York Times, know nothing pa ner gives more lively and clrcumstantlal re- hort of the proceedings of the 10th, than the Herald does Here it is:
 Mr. UIman asked that the clause refusing membership to those married to Jesuit wives be stricken out. This proposition was at once mt down: and so the "Jesuit wife, Is still stumbling block in the way of those desiring membership.
 The remainder of the constitution Is substan tallv the same as before.
 The business concluded, the finances were brought under consideration. The committee report an empty treasury, and an indebtedness of ten thousand and ninety dollars. Theo pro.
 
 each council, and to tax each member of a sub- ordinate council two cents per quarter, or eight cents a year.
 About this time, Mr. Chubbucl, of Madison, was observed by one of the vigilant members writing on an old envelop. He was called up- on to explain by Mir. Bullock, of New York, who accused him of furnishing the report, for the New York Daily Times. Other members demanded that the document should be eXhib- iteA which demand Mir. Chubbuck decide ed not to comply with at the same time putting the paper in his pocket and defying the crowd.- Tremendous excitement and many cries of "traitor" followed this act. Senator Brooks asked to see the paper. With this request Mr. Chubbuck complied, when 1t was ascertaned that the writing consisted of the words W. Marmont," the name of friend residing in one of the western cities.
 Mir. Ambrose Stevens denounced Mr. Chub- buck as a perjured traitor, and declared the words written to be a cipher, which lie thus in. terpreted "W" was intended for " Wallabout;;" Mar for Martyrs," and "Mont' for Mon- ument" The whole, put together, reads,- "Wallabout Martyrs Monument" There had been proposition made to build monument over the bones of the martyrs of Wallabout.- These mysterious words were to be the key to the information to be given to your Paul Pry.
 knew MT. Stevens was a "cunnng cuss," but who would have thought that he had such genius for decyphering hyeroglyphics. He would be invaluable among the ruins of Nine veh.
 To the charges made by Stevens, MT. Chub- buck replied at length, avowing himself an an- ti-slaverv man, and expressing his conviction that no party could exist in the North which was pro-savery in its tendencies. He repelled the charge that he had perured himself, or that he had given any information for publication. Here followed prolonged hootings, and cries of "put him out"
 Mir. Chubbuck had talked with various friends, Mr. Swain included; and hoped to talk with them again. Renewed hootings and in- vigorated cries of "put him out."] So wenton Mr. Chubbuck so went on the hootings and demands for speedy exit.
 When he was through, Mr Scha(fner gave utteance to his indignation. He was followed by Messrs. Lowell and Stevens, who were simi- lar in sentiment and style.
 It was eIifving to Paul." who enjoyed the scene immensely He will some day describe 1t in full There was reorganization of the Ben Gordon' of the 4th, 5th and 9th of Oc- tobcr, and a aenewal of the scenes they enacted. M Chubbuck was still further charged with having bought newspaper and having put sealed letter in the post-office. There was committee of investigation appointed
 Mir. Chubbuck, of course, repelled any charges affecting his personal character as a man; but of course it passed for little. The end of all was, that they voted to cxpel him-about one half of those present taking sides pro and con. The president kindly volunteered to protect Mr. Chubbuck on his passage out-seeming to think such protection necessary. His offer was declined, and Mr. Chubbuck passed from the council chamber undisturbed.
 All for nothing, gentlemen. The "undis- gused" is still in your councils, and whether he intrudes or not, will be very apt to remain S. keep cool, and take it as easy as he does. PAUL PRY.
