THE MoRMoNs.-The Mormons, according to their
own census, are decreasing in Utah. In 1856 they
numbered $4,000; in 1857 only 81 ,022; and in 1858
only about 100000 They claim, however, that
they are increasing in the country at large and in
the world, and they ascribe the dininuti0n in tab
TO temporary causes and absences. 1t is computed
that there are 80, 900 in Great Britain and Ireland
and 1000 on the Continent of Europe, besides some
5000 in Canada, 1000 in California, and several
thousand in the Eastern States and South America.
Altogether they number $4,000. Utah is the only
place where they practice polygamy and carry out
their theories of civil government as well as of re
.gion, and it is the only place where they do not
increase. NV

SLAvERT IN NEBRAsKA,-The House of Represen-
tatives IN the Legislature of Nebraska have passed
an TACT to prohibit slavery in the Territory of Ne
Draska The vote was-yeas 81, NAYS IT, The
negative vote was not a vote in favor of slavery
but vote against the passage of most unneces
sary piece OF buncombe. There are no slaves in
Nebraska, and none are ever expected to be there
The opponents OF the bill voted against it for the
same reason that they would vote against a bill
to prohibit the Dead Sea from being located in Ne
