The MOrnOns.

Among the good things projected in the
way of practical legislation, we are glad to
hear that Mr.. Green, Chairman on Terrific
rie' in the Senate, has hit upon plan which
nil bring the Mormens to positive settle
Hlent. His plan is to establish a new Terri,
tJrial government for Carson Valley (west
side of Utah,) and to create judicial dis.
tTict of said Territory in Utah, and SO or
gsnized as to bring all Mormon capital of
lenders against the laws before Carson
ls:ritory or Gentle jury. An arrangement
81 this sort, reduced to practice for two or
three Mormon cases, to the extent Of hang
ing, will, it is thought, effect Mormon exc.
DDS that will astonish all mankind. We
have no doubt Of it, and We hope that Sena.
tIr Green will push forward his bill.
