There was "a grea, crowd Of people about Calvary
Church yesterday, Sunday, sept. - and an i'm
meuse thr1ug within the church during the morning
service, when Or. Scott preached as usual; ia the
evening, the service that had been advertised WAS
omitted and the church was not opened. No violence
was done 10 the Doctor, and the crowd that was
g.rLerei about the building seemed rather 10 have
come together to see what was going TO oe done rather
than 70 do anything.
The cause Of DR.. SCOTS coming again 50 suddenly
before the public. and making 80 much stir in his
coming, was his speeches ON Monday last before the
California Presbyt-ry, OF which he l. a member. On
that occasion the Rev. Mr.. LOOMS introduced certain
d. loyalty resolutions DR.. Scott alone opposed them,
insisting that they were part OF u concerted scheme 10
surprise him and put him in a false position, and
that they were Introduced after an assurance that
nothing Of the sort should be introduced.
But while the remarks Of DR.. Scott, as written out
by himself from recollection, differed widely from the
report which DR.. Anderson, and other c~lergymeu say
they believe to be correct, they themselves were not
Of a nature 10 inspire loyal men with thanks FOR their
utterance, and there was evident on Saturday Il dis
position on the part Of the good people OF TINS loyal
city 10 give unmistakable assurances, IN some proper
way, 10 the trustees and pew-ho!ders OF Calvary that
the Doctors course was offensive to the honest loyal
sentiment Of the people. There were beside a good
many oyer-zealous men Of tolerabiy good intentions
who felt Just like making a martyr Of Or. Scott.
Before night, however, public sentiment had pretty
clearly asserted itself 10 the effect that, bad as DR..
Scott's iII-concealed sympathy with JEFF. Davis was,
II would Toe still more dIscreiitable TO San francisco
to have any d~isorderiy or unllwful proceedings about
mis- church, or any violent demonstrations made to-
ward him. And so feeling. the town went to bed
Saturday night.
SUNDAY MORNING.
Soon after midnight there began to be something Of
a crowd on Bush street, between Montgomery and
Sansome. When the occasional plsser-by asked
what was up, these early risers said-NothinE they
only came down TO see what was dulng; they dliu I
suppose anything would be done, but they came early
to get good seats. BY daylight 1t was clear that
somebody had been ut work. There was a Union flag
displayed from the very Top Of Calvary roof, where
there never was one before probably. From the west
lamp-po=t there was another, Il cheap concern; and
from the eastern ~lamp-post still another, for which
rumor has it that }. p. NOyes had paid S25 for this
special service.
On the northeast corner Of Donahue's new building,
obliqueiy opposite the church, an efigy was dangling
by the neck from an upper window. 1t was labelled
Or. Scott, the reverend traitor
At g. \. NJ. officers Horton and Minson Of the
police reached the spot aud proceeded at once to cut
down and lug the ethgy away. The crowd looked on
without much concern. They made no denonstra-
ton toward preventing its removal, but their num-
bers were constantly increasing, and by ! O'Clock
there could not have been less than l,OOp people in
the vicinity-all quietly talking with each other, bat
manifesting not the slightest excitement.

But it was nearing church time. the crowd was
wondering whether the Church would be opened. As
soon As the doors were open a great congregation
rushed in. All the seats were taken III no time.
Extra benches and chairs were brought in until the
aisles we're full. \ little later than usual the fami-
les Of the congregation arrived, and were given such
seats as they could get, 30 that there was s%priukling
enough of women and children finally 10 assure the
most timid that nothing wrong would occur under
tie sacred roof
DR.. Scott rode down from his house in a bus. As
he walked down Bush street, Officer Blitz followed on
his track, looking very much to the scarcely dimiu-
ishel crowd as if either Blitz were under the Doctors
charge, or the Doctor under BlitZ's, but no violence
was shown to either. There was a little &" ah"-ing,
and . uh"-ing, and g ching, There he goes -
but no violence. The Doctor got inside safely, and
By degrees reached his pulpit.
Everything that BE said while he occupied Il was
written-the sermon and the prayer-and he never
turned u hair from the manuscript. Never was q
prayer more carefully listened to. Il invoked a bles-
sing on the head Of uur g~1sernncnt, ON All m author
ity, on publishers ana printers, and all who are in
positions to influence men-but there was no SAVIOR of
sympathy with secession in it.
The sermon was almost equally free from offense to
the quick-eared and many-headei critics that sat by.
II was a quiet exposition OF the meaning of the text,
"a Corinthians, Y 20, Now then we are ambassa-
doris for Christ, as though God did beseech you by
US &c. n great many lett as the sermon proceeI-
ed, but the hall was full of men anxious to take their
seats, and weary of standing.
AT the close of the services the great congregation
went out quietly enough.
AFTER CHURCH..
DR.. Scott passed the time of day with his friends in
the hall, and was proceeding down the west steps, as
usual, when Mrs. Selby invited him to take n seat in
her carriage aud ride home. Asserting she took his
arm. They walked down the east steps, DR.. Burke
and his men happening to be before and behind them.
The carriage stood near the gate, and on its seat with
the driver sat Mr.. Gnzlay. The minute DR.. Scott
touched the sidwalk the whole crowd pushed up to
meet him. In the Jam it was impossible 20 recognize
faces. 50 sudden was the movement. The next mo-
ment Mrs. Selby. DIR. Scott and officer Blitz were in
side the carriage. The driver. apparently scared half
out Of his wits, held his paving horses firm, and
there was no start made. i dozen men held the
horses by the bits, and the pressure was getting pro
digjUUs. On the Montgomery end Of the mass there
was q ittle cry Of - hang him 80 - string him mp -
and there were some Kisses but for the most part
the asSemblage was still, only desperately anxious 10
see what was going on.
Officers Douglas and Lees had leaped to the box
with the driver, crOwding Ggzlay of. But still the
horses didn't start. DIR. Burke, seeing the insides all
right, slapped the carriage door To and bounded also
into the box. "Put ON the whip said he but the
driver sat like a statue. Seeing that one zig red
shir'ei fellow still held the horses by their bril!es.
the Chief and Lees happened co-incidentllly to carry
their hands back ana under their coats, which ;he
rci>h.rt seeing. ne dropped the brides in no time;
aud the horses darted oil down the street, amid the
cheers of the people.
The Doctor had no more trouble that day. Tie
was carried straight home, and did not again come
ont. Nor was there any grea, crowd around his res
iience in the evening.
no SERVICE IN THE EVENING.
Notice was given that there would be services in
the evening, when Alexander Scott Of Humboldt
would preach. but President Teschemacher called on
the Trustees after the morning affair, ana urged the
improperly Of an such course. He represented that
IL was wiser far to leave the church unopened for the
evening. They assentei, and the church doors were
no more unlocked.
But until bed time there was more OF less gather
ing IN the part Of Bush street about the church.
They seemed TO suspect that Secession might walk "A
ghost about the premises. They were Micawbers,
bound to be on hand If anything more turned up
