New YORK, 2.-The Times Salt Lake
correspondence processes to disclose the
details of the intrigue under which the
Mormors are arranging to abandon Salt
Lake and take possession of New Mex
leo, and thus get into the Union under
the bill for its admission as a state.
The correspondent says the initiatory
steps are already taken, and in short
time, several thousand Mormons will
stsrt for New Mexico. In a ge' eral
way, this movement has been on foot
fcr 4 considerable time, but nothing
occurred to excite suspicion until July
last, when Baxtill, late governor of
Utah, and we'll known as standing high
in favor and confidence Of Brigham.
was transferred 10 the government of
New Mexico, in which capacity he is
enabled to pull the wires and manipu-
late the schemes of the Mormon Church
among the Indian and Spanish people
of that Territory. Several Mormon
elders were secretly dispatched to New
Mexico to reeonnoiter the country aud
begin Tie work Of proselyting among
tie superstitious natives. About the
SANE time the authorities of the Church
here gave orders to all young priests to
begin the study of the Spanish langu-
age. The book of Mormon was trans
lated into the Spanish language and the
disciples went vigorously to work study
ing it. Preparations were next made to
gain possession of large tracts of land
in New Mexico, by purchase of some of
the Spanish grants outright. and of an
interest in others. The bill for admis-
sion of New Mexico as State is also to
be pushed to its passage: This bill
gives to the governor, chief justice and
Z. s. Attorney. unlimited power in fix
ing the time CT the election. In case
of passage, several thousand Mormons
will be at once hurried into New Mex:
leo in time to vote at this election to
overcome the present vote which Is un-
derstood to be largely against the state
project. By getting possession of the
land grants they will control nearly all
the valuable lands in the Territory, ana
can exclude the gentiles by refusing to
sell them any. The bill CT admission
provides that the Territory may come
into the Union at once upon the adop-
ton of resolutions, without further ac-
ton by Congress, and these people can
make constitution which will render it
almost an independent sovereignty un-
Ger the plan of keeping out gentilas. If
the scheme succeeds, it will turn New
Mexico wholly over to the followers of
Brigham Young. and the long sought
Kingdom of Mormon's, will at last be
established under the authority of the
government of the United States.
