Condition of the Normons.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Salt Lake City gives
quite different picture of the condition
of affairs there from that drawn by his
contemporary of the Herald. He finds
the capital of Mormondom as quiet as any
Northern city of its size, without any
signs OF social or political excitement
worthy of mention. While there is diff
ference of opinion among the civilian
gentiles as to the intention of the saints,
the military officers are decidedly of the
opinion that there is no reason to antci-
pate an armed outbreak. The Nauvoo
legion keeps up its organization, but its
recent activity is said TO be entirely due
to the national desire of its officers, who
are putting it through its spring inspec-
ton, to maintain its esprit du corps and
general efficiency. Meanwhile Mormon
and gentle meet amicably in society, and
whatever may lurk beneath it, the current
OF social life seems undisturbed by any.
thing presaging trouble. The general
sentiment. exultantly expressed by the
gentiles, and unwillingly admitted by the
more candid of the saints, is that polyga my

polygamy Mormonism, compelled, like
other sects, TO appeal simply TO the spr-
itual side of mans nature will lose tina,
powerful attraction it has held out to the
dissolute in cloaking the qualification Of
sensuality with the pretext of religion,
sanction and divine ordination. Brigham
Young. with whom the Times correspond
ent had an interview, says that the tall
about trouble is nonsense got up for sen.
sational effect, and that the Mormons want
peace. Certainly, in the present excited
state of the public mind on the Mormon
question, an outbreak would be little shor,
of suicide; and as cunning rather than
courage has ever been the Distinguishing
trait of the prophets character, it is SAFE
to assume that his policy will be so SHAPED
as TO avoid anything likely to provoke al
unequal conflict the issue of which coulC
be nothing short of the humiliation o.
