NoRMoNIsM IN ST. LOUIS The following af
fair was related to US this morning by gentleman
whom we consider good authority A few weeks
ago man calling himself Abraham, and claiming
to be a high priest of the Mormon Church, at Salt
Lake City, arrived in this city ostensiby to pur.
chase goods. He visited freely among the Mormon
families here, and made himself quite at home
He assumed to take peculiar interest in a widow
lady and daughter living on Morgan street, and
finally proposed to add both of them to the num-
ber of bis wives, of whom he said he had several
at Salt Lake. Neither mother nor daughter were
favorable to this arrangement, but the patriarch
was not to be foiled He told them that they had
been sealed to him by the Almighty, and he meant
to have them, nolens volens.
A few evenings ago he went to the house, and
still finding them intractable, said that, as they
were spiritually his wives, he would exercise the
authority of husband, and so closed the door and
locked it. and attempted to force them to his will.
The daughter resisted successfully, and after
scratching the reverend scoundrels face pretty
well made her escape The mother was finally
forced to succomb, and was outraged The next
day she went before the bishop of the Mormon
Church, and entered a complaint against her spir'
itual husband, and so the matter rests. Ou being
asked why she did not make her complaint before
one of the courts. she replied that it was . mat.
ter for the church to settle, and,no the law.-S.

REACTION AMONG THE CALIFORNIA MINERS -
The arrest of Judge Terry seems TO have provok-
ed strong feeling of indignation in some of the
mining districts of California; and meetings 70
protest against the act have been held at MariPo-
sa and Ell Dorado, at both of which strong resolu-
tions were passed. We give three OF the re-
solves:
Resolved, That we cannot condemn IN TOO
strong terms the despotic course pursued by said
Committee. in convicting persons without trial,
and refusing them the priyilede of confronting
their accasors, right which Is guarenfied 20
every American citizen by the Constitution and
laws Of our glorious union.
Resolved That tho existence of the 90 called
Vigilance COMMITTEES is living Insult to the intel.
llgsnce and patriotism Of q republican people.
Resolved Thatwe, A. American citizens, deem
II our duty as law abiding men, 70 bare our
breasts Ia support of that law which our fore
fathers have shed their blood for; and res0lve nr.
tbermore that we of White Oak are ready and
willing to turn out and assist the Law and Order
parry at San Francisco TO put down and bury ~
mobrocacy that undertakes to rule q free people

THE WORK OF PURIEICATIoN COMMENCED -
We are informed upon good authority, that q few

sons, whose characters were none of the best
were dismissed from the ranks of the Vigilance
Committee. The thing was managed very adroit-
ly. The password was changed. The black.
balled, anxious to prove their extreme loyalty to
the committee, applied to their captains for the
password, which was refused. Thinking doubt
less, that some mistake had been committed,
they presented themselves at the rooms of the
Vigilance Committee on Sacramento street. but
were denied admission-San Francisco Herald

CASTOR OIL-The extraordinary high rates at
which castor oil has been ruling during the last
month or SO have raised general inquiry as to the
cause of such an advance, and to the question of
the permanency of these high figures. We find
the following information on this subject in the
New York Shipping Lists
From reliable sources we compile the following
information about castor oil:
The Western farmers have been for years under
the control of SOME two three purchasers for their
beans, and having had, last fall prospect of high
prices for grain this year, they planted but few
beans, and of these the yield has been very light
owing to the wet season and from all parts of the
West the crop is pronounced almost an entire fail
ure. The estimate is 1000 bbls. against 10000 of
last year. OF the last years crop. about 1000 bbls
were shipped to the East, leaving for Western con
Sumption 6OO0 bbls therefore a large deficiency
Is to be supplied from some other source.
I'm London the stock of oil is II 600 cases. against
81 1000 same time last year. and the supplies going
there from Calcutta being almost nothing, and the
price has advanced during the last two months
from SID. to Gid. per pound, with prospect of a
further Improvement. The stock of American in
this market Is, say 400 bhls and of East India saw
400 cases, and there are now on the way from Cal
cutta to arrive till March. 1000 cases. ali of which
is sold. The Boston and Philadelphia markets are
almost entirely bare.
