members of Congress who vacated their
seats at the breaking out of the rebellion.
and perhaps a very few other VIGOROUSLY
bad cases that Congress shall then pass
some sort of an enabling act, requiring of
the Southern States that they shall endorse
their political prescriptions, amend their
constitutions TO conform thereto, give equal
itytc all men, repudiate the retel debt, and
officially manifest an accord with the nc
commodating disposition Of the general
government; that the test oath can be
then abolished and Congress adjourn for
three months. On the acceptance by the
Southern States of these terms and their
adoption, elections TO be held throughout
the South for members of Congress, any
person not specially excluded by the terms
Of the amnesty to be eligible to election.
On the re-assembling OF Congress, if
t shall appear that the Southern
States have CONFIRMED TO the terms, their
representatives shall be at onco admitted,
on the same footing and conditions as the
Northern Representatives. This is the
oatline of the general scheme, which is
carefully drawn up and matured in all its
details. This scheme commends itself 10
the more intelligent of the radicals, who
can see the absence of n hope for the
success of their Jacobinicalidea ard ex-
plains the breach of cordiality between
Sumner and Stevens on the recoustruc-
ton business. It remains to be seen
whether or not the President is prepared
to abandon the plan that was conceived
by his lamented predecessor, and which has
been 60 unwaveriDgly pursued by him
self.
DiygraesfulSeene in n Dublin Church.
dublin Correspondence Of the Tendon Timesl
The innovation praeticed by some of
the Dublin clergy in conducting Divine
worship has produced a growing dissatis-
faction Cor some time; and at length the
Protestant spirit has been SO decidedly
reused that scenes of disorder arc the con-
sequence. One Of the most obnoxious of
the Romanizing i~nnovators is the Rev.
Mr.. Carroll, the incumbent of Brides.
Yesterday week there was some unseen
ly interru tions of Divine service in his
church, and the aid of the police was
found necessary. Yesterday morning the
church was crowded TO excess by young
men, who anne for the purpose of putting
a stop 10 the service altogether. At first
they repeated the responses aloud, drown
ing the voices of the choir. When Nh.
Carroll assembled the pulpit, the congrega-
ton began to cough and sneeze at such q
rate that he could not be heard. At
length they groaned and Kissed, and
greeted the clergyman with derisive
shouts Of "No Puseyisn r. "Go TO Romefi
"The Confession BoxI &c. The noises
were so great that he had to desist from
the attempt to administer the communion.
The scene of uproar at that time was
something fearful, the people mounting
on their seats and jeering the discounted
minister as he retreated from the unequal
contest. One long, dismal groan was
kept up while he remained in view, but as
soon as he had gained the sanctuary of
the vestry oom 1t changed 20 a yell Of
triumph, and several rounds of Kentish
fire, one person exclaiming at the top of
his voice, The Orange boys have it." A
large number Of police, with Inspector
Armstrong, new entered the building; but
their presence only added TO the tlmult.
A rush was made TO the communion table,
and a prayer book, on which u large cross
was conspicuous, was taken and flung on
the ground. Some persons who remon
strated were rather roughly handled and
obliged TO beat q hasty retreat. Some gen
tlemen cried shane aud requested
those most active to remember that they
were in a place of worship, but to no pur-
pose. 1t was thought, indeed, that fur
Their and more serious violence would have
been had ecourse to, but Chief Superin-
tendent Campbell requested the people to
withdraw, or he would be compelled to
send for a force Of police to clear the
building. After some difficulty, and much
persistence but without employing force.
this was at last accomplished, the doors
were locked, and the crowd which had
gathered outside gradually dispersed. The
disgraceful exhibition Of the morning was
re-enscted in the evening. Long before
the hour appointed fer the commence
ment Of service, a large number of per-
o q had assembled in Bride street. and
on the church doors being opened, shortly
before sever o'clock a general rush was
made and the building was Immediately
thronged. The demeanor of the congre-
CATION stated to be composed of the great
er part OF strangers, was comparatively
quiet until the Rev. Mr.. Carroll made his
appearance. Then the sneezing and
coughing which characterized the morn
ing's celebration Of service was again
re-enacted by some persons in the vicinity
OF the organ, and was taken up by the
majority Of the congregation with an I'M
tagging determination ond energy. This
ebullItion Of tho feeling on tho part
Of the congregation was succeeded
by a a~eafening ring of Kentish fire and
cries Of "No Popery," SC. TIE Rev. Mr..
Carroll then appeared in front of the com
table, and was understood to ap.
peal to the congregation to conduct them
in a peaceful and orderly manner,
otherwise he would be obliged to decline |
. pc f0rm the usual evening services.
The appeal, in place Of appeasing the
ingry feelings Of those present, seemed
to excite their fury to the utmost de-
Instantly the church became the
Gene Of the most Undesirable confusion.
The congregation stood up in
heir seats, and what between coughing. |
neezing, the changing ring of the Ken
lsh fire, the various cries of True Pro-
estantism, "No Popery,' mo Surren-
"Down with Puseyism," at length
be clergyman was obliged to retire, and
he excitement was SO great that the police
we're obliged TO escort him 10 his resi-
ence.
