The earthquake shock In San Francisco on
the I'd inst. was sharp end vigorous, but passed
of, doing but little damage. 1t was, however.
productive OF the usual excitement which attend
cases OF this phenomena. Horses, who are very
sensible to earthquakes, plunged and jumped
about recS,essly, but nothing serious transrired
The first shock lasted just long enough to stait
people from their houses to the streets, where
they waited in expectation OF the second, and,
failing to experience 1t, they quickly returned to
their vccations. In GuayaQuil. South America,
between Point Pasado and Point Venado, pecu-
liar volcanic movement has recently taken place.
In space OF two leagues the surface OF the earth
was in a state OF undulatlon, great caTerns and
deep circular excavations we're opened, new
lagoon had been formed, and q hill had risen bc-
tween the shore and the sea- The hills along the
coast were observed also to be in state OF mo-
tion, with landSlides OF rocks and trees. THIS
volcanic agitation had been going on for fo1r
1t would seem trou, this that the throcs OF the
earth, which, year CT two ago. sent desolatioii
through some Of the most populous districts OF
South America, arc not yet wholly spent.
Brigham Young set his best speakers at work,
as soon rs the Callom bill passed, to prepare the
people for protesting, and, rs 1t would seem like
IL, for resisting. Tie mass indignation meetings
at Salt Lake City were conducted in manner
combining the religious with the political, strong
ly fanatical In each. Orson Pratt, who Is next to
Brigham in the 1,ormon list OF dlgnitaries, takes
the view Of the matter which Is most popular AMI
likely to prevail with the staunch saints. He
maintains the divine institution OF plural
marriages, and CASTS all responsibility upon The
Deity. He boldly arrays Congress and the
Almighty against each other In his harangues,
and paraphrases the Apostle Paul in his appeals
TO the people to obey the divine mandates even
to death. At the last meeting, held last week. y
more sensible view Of the matter was taken by
Judge Stout. He asked whether, with female
suffrage established in the Territory, and with
railroads opening mp the whole settlement 10
outside influences, Congress could not have be"n
satisfied to let the religion die out, as 1t surely
would do il false, instead OF attempting to reg"
late /: in this harsh manner. The same question
has been asked here, and 1t gains greater forra
when VIC see the storm or ranaicsm the Culi'al
bill has raised In Utah.
