MormOnism, Past, Present, and Fu-
tuTe.

We print to-day u narrative OF crcum-
stances which lei to the killing of FARLEY
II. PRATT, one Of the early Mormon apos-
ties. This narrative was written by a
Mormon lady, an intimate friend of
Mrs MCLEAN, the wife Of the man
who followed up aud slew PRATT near
Fort Smith, Arkansas. The history of
this tragic event his assumed importance
from the fact that il had an undoubted eff
feet in increasing the bitterness of feeling
which nj the Nnne existed between the
Mormons ana 0entiles, while it has been
generally believed that the Mountain
Meadow massacre, in which over one hun
dred emignnts were killed by Mormons
and Indians under circumstances of pecu-
liar atrocity, was an act of retaliation for
the murder Of PRATT. II is doubtful, how
ever whether there was any special con-
nection between tho two crimes.

MCLEAN, differs in one very essential point

near Fort Smith, pleaded before the
court that she had suffered great
abuse from her husband; 1t Is also true
that PRATT was killed on the road after
his release at Fort Smith; but we have
never heard it denied that polygGmo us re-
lations existed between him and Mrs. Nc
LEAN until the receipt of the letter which
we now publish.
Having given her version OF the PRATT
matter, our correspondent goes on to say
that the story about the Mormons being
mixed up with the New Mexico job is
hoax, naively rcmurkng that the Nor
mons are the last people on earth who
would have any connection with any Ring

mediately proceeds to unintentionally con-
firm the story by telling us that the fol-
lowers of BRIouAM You've are preparing
to move to Arizona and New Mexico, n
fact OF which we were already well adj
vised. without doubling the sincerity of
our correspondent, we would suggest that
In BRIGHAM YouNa's despotic exercise of
his influence over the Mormons, he does
not always find II necessary to take them
all entirely into his confidence, and that
from various sources information has been
received that leaves no doubt that he ex-
pected to control the organization of New
Mexico as n State If ELKINs should succeed
IN carrying the job through Congress;
while II the bill had been framed for that
very purpose. IL could not have been more
adroiuy worded to attain its end. Be-
sides, II Is impossible to conceive OF any
honest design in the proposal to make
New Mexico State, while the alleged
plot to put the new government under the
many things that otherwise would be in =
comprehensive.
The prepostcrous character OF the New
Mexico job has been so effectuilly ex-
| posed, aud the job itself has called out
such decided expressions of adverse public
sentiment, that it does not seem possible
that the House of Representatives should
| fail to reject II summarily whenever 1t
is brought to vote. But the failure OF
this job will not interfere with BRIGHAM
ToUNG's projects for colonizing both Ari-
| IONA aud New Mexico. Encouraged by
the success which attended the Utah exper-
iment, he ,contemplates prodigious ex-
| tension of Mormon power, looking ulti-
mately, so IL is asserted in well-informed
| quarters, to the establishment OF Nor
mon empire in Old Mexico, using the two
Territories already named as base of
operations for his new conquest of the
land of the Montezumas.
