Speaker o. the House, who has stricken of
from the list of those appointed to officia te
as chaplains of the House and Senate, the
names of K of the most prominent popular
Protestant ministers, aud supplied their
places BIZ those of the six Catholic priests
Of this city.
The feeling excited thereby is not that
the priests are to uffieiate instead of these
gentlemen they have suPplanted, but that
the Speaker has taken the liberty to add
the names of the priests who would not at
tend this called meeting of the clergy. and
that in so doing he has violated the spirit of
the resolution of invitation passed by the
H ,use, which specified that they should
officate in the order upon which they might
sgree among themselves. Among those
strick en- out of the list are the Rev. Byron
Sunderland, D. D., ef the First Presbyterian

of the Tenth street Baptist Church; the
Rev. F. Swentzel, of the Methodist Protes.
