FROM SYRACUSE.

Cone.popdeBeeyof The n Y. Tribune.
SYRACUSE, Friday, Aug 10, 1855.
Yesterday Benjamin Ashley Of Auburn was
brought before Judge Pratt Of this place, on a
writ Of habtas corpus, from before the police
justice Of that city, who refused to hold him to
bail on a charge Of selling liquor in violation Of
the Probibitory Law. Judge Pratt gave de-
cision in accordance with those previously rem
dered by Judges Parker and Dean His opinion
is that Jury trial cannot be Denied and that the
accused party has the right to give bail to appear
ut the next Criminal Court having cOgnizance of
the ofense. He accordingly held Mr.. Ashley to
bail.
The Liquor Dealers Convention held here this
week was a laughing stock for our sober citizens
Ii was slim affair, and the only question of mo
ment appeared TO be whether two or three ambi-
tious pOliticians-eaeh on his own hOok-shOuld
control in some contemplated action which hardly
seems TO have been had. To spectator the
deliberations of these spirituaiists resolved
themselves into mere jaw, jaw, jaw. How much
was accomplished against the PrOhibitory Law
remains 10 be discovered. The affair was very
like an abortion. The fierce menaces of The Al
bany atlas must have been the cause.
The Syracuse House, Globe Hotel, and many of
the other hotels and nearly all the saloons have
been selling imported liquors all this week
active in prosecuting ii are taken all aback by
this bold move No new prosecutions have been
made this week, but several are said to be in pre-
paration.
Another of the parties engaged in the rape at
Green Point, in May last, has been arrested His
name is John Ryan He was perfectly identified
by the unfortunate victim Ii was attempted, un-
successfully TO prove an abb for the accused, but
this was overdOne. He was held to bail in the
sum of 81. 900 TO appear at court. An important
witness in this case was arrested at Albany on
Wednesday. He was the captain Of the Hickory
Bush canal boat, from which the girl was alb
Quoted. -Four of the offenders have been arrested,
and four are yet at large. very strong case
stands against each of the arrested parties.
Two men are under arrest on the charge of
being engaged In the late tearing up of the Central
Railroad tracks at Geddes. Their examination
takes place tomorrow.
The liquor-dealers of this county have formed
the "OnOndaga County Society for the protection

tiation fee of $25 is required. CARROLL

HOW THE CENSUS Is TAKEN.

To he Editor Of The l. Tribsas;
SIN: find that the returns of the seventh Ward
census show decrease OF ls4 persons since ls50.
have been a resident of the ward ten years. In
this time ,here has been large number OF houses
built in the ward the boarding houses have largely
increased perhaps doubled, in the last five years;
many houses that were occupied by one family now
have two or three. | supposed that the ward would
give an increase of 1000 since the census OF 1850.
The shipping also has increased on Abe East River
side recurring more boardng-hOuses for sailors and
laborers ard doubt if you can find unOccupied
house in the ward. Stons have made no inroads in
his ward Now Sir, you will be surprised TO find that
rom Chath im-st TO Pike. st. for two long blocks in
East broadway on both sides of the street, compris
ouired 10 Census Marshal had been along The
same thing appears Division-st. for two blocks
bounding this side of the ward II also appears 70 ex
tend back 10 Henry and Madison-sts; between the
two streets named, Pike and Market in these limits
should think there must be about 400 houses that will
aversge fifteen persons each, YOU will find below.
This would give 1000 persons more in the ward in
stead of 1874 decrease. Out OF twenty-seven houses
called az there were but three that the harshas had
been at If this same oversight gross neglect of
DUTY call il what you may, has prevailed in the
other wards, is 70 De wondered at that City, in
stead of showing population OF 10000, which lhave
not the least doubt il IT, will be cut down TO about
600 oCO or $4,000 do not believe there is a ward
in the CITY that has decreased ia population since
1850 except the Second and Third Wards. In these
two wards the large number Of stores have rapidly
displaced the dwellings. | think you may put down
the Seventh Ward as having increased her population
in the last five years at least 5000 instead of ls4 de-

In an article ON "War Politics, in Blackwood

in England threatens to ncutraze all her successes
abroad He attributes the money panic and con-
sequent panic TO the provisions of Sir r. Peel's
Currency Act of 1874, which he earnestly calls
upon Parliament, at its next meeting, to repeal
There is a general rush among the powers OF
Europe 10 possess themselves of gold, to defray
the expenses of their armies abroad yet, says the
writer although our present currency system Is
entirely based upon the retention OF large amount
of gold in this country that retention Is not possible
If other states wish gold, "tkey can always have
it from this country by paying a commensurate
price for it. The consequences of this to u.s. if not
wartled off by an alteration of our Currency laws

now level at u.s. would be todraw from this coun

Methodist FiIIibustcriug.

The New York Observer thinks it likely that
the rumor of a flibustering expedition from Anne
rica to Ireland took its rise in missionary contri-
button of 100000, which the Methodists OF this
country proposed to raise for evangeiizing the
"gem of the sea-
This is a very probable supposition The Me-
.hodists have been a sort of spiritual filbusters
from the commencement Of their history. Their
forays into the dominions of the Prince OF Dark
ness, have excited more wrath and alarm IN the
bosom of that potentate than even his friends Gen.
Concha and the London Times, have ever display
ed These fllibusters, moreover, have been gene
rally successful, having taken away from the Gov
ernor General of the lower regions some of his
choicest possessions with the inhabitants thereof
and annexed them bodily to their own empire.
We advise the British Admiral TO keep bright
look out or these illibusters will have their camp
established on the Irish coast before he can say
Jack Robinson.

Irisl, FillibusteriuQ,

We understand that, in addition to the editorial
and Methodist fillibustcring mentioned in other
paragraphs, the Irish people in America are pre-
pairing for grand exodus to their native country,
so that Great Britain will probably be attacked in
three quarters by three separate armies, impelled
by the three mighty motives of want, religion and
revenge
In this connection, it is our duty public jour
nalists to state that some mysterious proceedings
have lately been observed among the Irish in Vir
ginia Large numbers of them have for some
time past been quartered in secluded mountain
section of the State, and during the day time keep
themselves carefully hidden from public view
They have not, however, been so far able 10 es-
cape observation as to conceal the fact that they
carry dangerous weapons, whilst the loud and re-
peated explosions of gunpowder in their subterra-
mean retreat have often excited curious surmises
and dark suspicious. ..,.-..
Another significant and welestabIished fact
gives to conjecture this subject the stamp of
certainty. 1t is well known that these men are in
the employment and under the command of vete-
ran French Colonel an old soldier of Bonaparte,
who has never been able to forgive England for
the battle of Waterloo, and who would rejoice at
an opportunity of boring hole in the white cliffs
of Albion and sinking her to the bottom of the sea-
In addition to these mysterious movements in the
mountains, we have seen large parties of Irish in
our own streets, armed with crowbars ripping up
paving stones, and looking as full of fight as an
egg is of meat. Not far from the row of houses,
where these gentlemen lodge, is large fleet of pi
ratical craft which, with the ostensble purpose of
trading in oysters, have collected in unusual num-
bers at the dock near 18th street. We recommend
this fleet to the Mayor of this city and the Governor
of Virginia, who are either slumbering over vol
cano, or conniving at a palpable plan to invade
the dOminions of country at peace with the Uni
ted States VIII Mr.. Cranpton give his earliest
attention to this subjects If he can send ship or
two and stop this feet in Hampton Roads, he |

the dismissal of Mr. Champion by the President,
and says it understood by the admnstra ton that
the difficulty will be amicably arranged, also re.
marks that it may perhaps be necessary for the
British Government to withdraw Mr. Crampton-
The correspondent understands that Mr.. Cramp-
ton has manifested desire to be recalled. even
though the enlistment difficulty may be settled in
manner that will entirely exonerate him from

occurs at an opportune moment We hone if may
