SALT LAKE C111, March II.
There IL no news except that Brigham has
gone down into Arizona to end 4 retreat for
tho inco.rlgible polyEamista in case the Culloru
bill becomes n law and is enforced. They viii
count Ill told, about 2,0oa, for tho Mormon
men do not number more than 1G,0o3, and Of
these not more than ous-eishth are polygA-

1862. don't suppose that those who trans
greased only prior to that date will be- troubled
by act Of Congress, nor that thoy will join in
a second Mormon hcgi1a- They are too
comfortably fixed. Exon 'sformoaism

which made converts; it waA simply that occa-

and to Utah. III Utah these convetts and the

not what il vas cracked up to be. Tho reader
can draw the inference.
