 It's Future An English View of Af-
 fairs at Salt Lake City.
 A crisis appears to have overtaken al the same time the civil community es. tablished at the Great Salt Lake City and the Mormon Church, which has it's cen tral seat there. We have heard of late that schisms of most serious character have broken out in Utah that President Young's authority is defed, and that his practices are denouncei by some who have hitherto held high places under him while his chief occupation has been the excommunication of the unruly. The marriage laws of Utah, which have hith- er,o been held to be fundamental parts of the Mormon polity, appear to be called in question by some of the principal men in the society, and this is d matter on which Young, it is understood. will make no concession. ut the cause which most threatens the character. it not the exist ence, of the Mormon settlement is exter- nal Gold which builds up so many things, is disintegrating Mormondom. Mines, which in the first excitement of discovery are said to exceed in value all previously known to exist on the mcri can Continent, have becn found near the South Pass, about two hundred and fifty miles from Salt Lake City, and six weeks ago the people were departing for them by hundreds, leaving the richest wheat harvests ungathered There is nothing leads 50 rapidly to the settlement of a region in America as the discovery of gold, and the depopulation of their capital is not the direct evil the Mormons have to fear. In the present disorganlzed con dtion of large portions of the population
  ot the United States, it is inevitable that thousands who have been dislocated by the events of war should make their way 10 the ueghborhool of Utah, whi,her they will carry sentiments and ideas anything but favorable to Mir Young and his insti- tutions Whatever view we may be, dis posed to take of the -tauurry anu streng'n of Mormonism. it is certain that it's leaders for the las, twenty years have acted on the belief that isolation aros necessary to the success of M'r ? ans, and they have discouraged to the utmost the attempts of strangers to approach or min gle with them. It is only at distance from all rival power that authority such IS Young and h;s associates have hitherto claimed can be exercised But just as that authority itself is called in question 1t is about to bo subjected to the severest strain. The strong element or discontent which has never been absent from Utah will now be able 10 make aliances which have until lately been impossible; while Northern opinion will also find new asen cies with winch to combat polygamy - Many elaborate plans have been devised at New York and Washington for des troylng an organization of society so re pusnant as Mormonism to the best tea lures of modern civilization It has even been proposed to suppress it's peculiar by the power of Federal law by military expedition What is happening shows how much wiser it IS in young country where nnsuspecte. forces are always suddenly developing themselves. to look with a certain amount of patience on departure from custom an and to wait for remedy in athe course of the operations of natural laws rather than seek it in the best mentioned violence Nobody need be scandallzed at seeing these selt-syled saints leaving the seat of their theocracy for the golu m.nes They have never dissembled tha, the prosperity they sought was earthly and material, and if to realize it by gold they have to abandon detestable habits, they and their nsighbors my be on the result.
