OAPE MAY, August 2.-The sacred
concerts were this morning assailed
from the altar by Priest Deger, at the
Catholic Church. He satted that in
the Catholic Church alone could sd
cred songs be with propriety chanted,
and denounced the Stockton House,
Congress Hall and the Columbiu House
concerts and their guests, in unmea-
sured terms. His argument was that
only music composed for sea. side con-
certs should be used, and that Catho-
lies were obliged to attend vesper SER
vice. which he fixed for Philadelphia,
Baltimore and New York, at 8 O'Clock
P. M. After mass, the Catholics in
formally met in the front of st. Mary 3
Church, and denounced the priest as
intruding on Catholic usage, by having
vespers at night, instead of in the af.
teruoon, as ordered by the statutes Of
the diocese. The indignation rose
high, and the case is to be reported to
Bishop Corlgad, at Newark. Indica-
tions point to the fact that the priest
desired to force vesper attendance at
an unusual hour for financial gain,
and was ohagrined that thousands as.
sembled to enjoy Prof. Harken's vocal
concert at the Columbia House, and
also Dodsworth's instrumental enter
tainments at Congress Hal and the
Stockton House. AS far rs can be
ascertained, the rubrics of the diocese
of Newark prescribe 81 o'clock as
vesper hour. The action Of Priest
Deger is regarded as contrary to Ca
tholic usage. and the entire Catholic
community is in revolt. Father O Neil,
of the Philadelphia Cathedral, said
late mass. but nude no remarks. The
visiting priests here condemn Deger,
aud the Bishops formal condem nation
is looked for.
