FROM UrAH-The Salt Lake correspondent of
the St Louis Republican, under date Of the 5th
ulhrno. says that the excitement among the Nor
mons had somewhat abated. This is attributed in
part TO the knowledge the MorInons now have as
10 the practical working Of the jury law which
was passed by the late Legislature, 1t being a
complete breastwork to the punishment of anv
crime that may be committed by the Mormons.
Under this law the clerks of the Mormon county
sourts select the grand and petit juries of the fed
eral courts, and such restrictions are imposed as
uisquaiiiy almost every Gentle in the Territory
The rupture between the Judiciary and execu-
i've Is stated 10 be open and irreconciable unless
the Governor yields, which he will not do And
ii the Administration interferes in manner det,i.
