SALT LAKE, July AT sundown yesterday
the horm0ps were determined 10 parade, and
the United States officials eQrally determined 10
enforce the laws. Acting Gov Black called
upon Colonel De Trobriand, commanding Camp
Douglas, - send TO the city three companies of
infantry; one OF cavalry, and a company OF artil-
lery, and there was every req son 10 expect blood
she'd IL the Mormons did not recede from their
intention. Martial law was TO have been pro-
claimed IL the civil authorities could not enforce
the Governors order, and the
TROOPS WERE PREPARED FOR SERVICE.
Last evening a committee, consisting Of Colonel
De Trobriand. Lieutenant Colonel Morrow, OF
the 18th infan.ry; Major Hampstead, United
States attorney; and Colonel Patrick, United
States marshal, called in an informal wagon the
Mayor Tor Lieutenant GeneralWel andrepre-
the laws, and that b,oodshed would result IL his
illegal orders were carried out, as the United
States troops would entirely disperse any unlaw-
full parade or armed militia men. The Mayor
and even had the audacity TO suggest that the
Governors proclamation be withdrawn. The
committee promptly remarked that they did not
care for the Governor; that they were acting in
the interest of peace, and that the acting gov
ernor had planted himself upon the proclsms-
ton, which il was not likely would be changed
or recalled. Wells then began ID talk rather
saucily. Col. Morrow told him the life Of one
man would not justify crime in carrying out his
pendence, Wells remarked he thought the United
States officials were playing
THE GAME OF BLUFF,
az which attorney HAMPSTEAD called him 20 &C
count, and assured him that nothing was more
earnest than the determination Of the Govern
ment TO execute the laws, and that the courts,
the legality of the order. After a long CONVEX
satiOn, in which Col. De Trubriand told the
Lieutenant General that IL there was a parade
the consequences would be upon his head, ID
which were added vigorous remarks by all the
other members of the committee; Wells finally
concluded 10 call a special meeting OF the city
council and leaders Of the Mormon church, who
are
THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE,
20 take into consideration the whole matter.
The conference broke up with a clear under
litia, as IL is called, were out to-day they would
be arrested or dispersed by powder and ball. II
seems that the Mormon council met formally
formed by Mayor Wells that the orders calling
out the militia were countermanded. Notwith-
standing this, DeTrobriand, in obedience TO the
call of acting Gov. Black,
MARC HE'D INTO THE CITY
al O'Clock this morning with three companies
OF the 18th infantry and Major Gordon's COM
mental band. This movement of the troops had
a quoting effect on the militia officials, who at
once took measures to prevent the militia from
appearing armed. Those who could, took of their
uniforms, and appeared in civilians attire.
THE STREETS WERE SOON CLEARED
OF the armed Nauvoo men, who had fourished
very extensively in the early hours of the morn
and could not throw of their uniforms, were
distributed in the procession, 50 that they did
not show. DeTrobriand's troops were drawn MP
a block away from the main street, and kept
close in hand; but the Nauvoo Lieutenant
General had to come 10 terms, and there was
no necessity for their presence. After the pro-
eessiop Xes disbapded, the troops marched back
to Camp Douglas.
In addition TO the military the U. s. Marshal
had sworn in a large number Of deputies, and
there were two or three thorsand miners ready
10 sustain the authorities If fight had occur
red il would have been bloody but disastrous TO
the Church.
A SIGNIFICANT FACT
connected with the affair Was the absence Of
Brigham Young, although he was oficially an
nounced as President Of the day, in the Mormon
celebration. There were two demonstrations in
honor Of the nations birthday. The City COun-
Gil programme included procession Of eight
thousand Mormon merchants, tradesmen, and
their sehool-children, and their conservative
Gentle friends, who marched to the Tabernacle
and listened to addresses. The liberal citizens,
preceded by United States officers, had a
parade, and listened 20 addresses in the Reform
School. -- .r s.. r.-... TER
