(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALp.1

SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 10, 1877.
The Twelve Apostles have to-day issued
an epistle to the Mormon people, claiming
to have received a revelation from God on
the 4th inst. directing them to preside over
the Church without electing new
Prophet. The promulgation here of
the extraordinary document has created
excitement, surprise among the Mormons
and disgust among the Gentiles, who are too
we'll aware Of the past acts Of several of the
Twelve not to believe that the Almighty
had but small part in the matter.
In point of boldness this revelation"
goes far beyond anything that Joseph
Smith ever dreamed of, and is equalled
only by the disgusting bulletins which
Brigham Young sent forth from time to
time.
CREDULoUs, FOOLISH PEOPLE.
1t exceeds all the ideas Of the SIM
pie minded peasants to whom speak
ing Gin tongues" as st Paul de-
scribed it, is sufficiently marvellous, as
none of these God-gifted men ever
condescended to translate their gibberish
and deceptive twaddle. A mmunication
from on high, however, is something the
thick-and-thin followers of Smith are not
permitted to question. Intelligence science,
manhood-these things must have no place
in Mormonism. Like the Caffir at the fetch
and the devoted Hindoo, who falls at the voice
Of the priests before the car of Juggernaut,
to his own destruction. these deluded crea-
lures in Utah will tomorrow discuss this
epistle as though it were what it really is not
"direct command from God" It is q glar-
ing attempt to retain power over a people
which has been subjected by fraud and
violence to condition of mental and
physical slavery worse than anything
described in Oriental history.
TAYLOR PRESIDENT OF THE TWELVE.
Apostle Taylor is acknowledged to be
President of the quorum of the governing
body.
QUOTING PROM BRIGHAM.
The epistle is very lengthy and is signed
by oil the Apostles, who clinch their claim
by quoting from sermon delivered at
Nauvoo long ago by Brigham Young. They
quote:-'Joseph Smith conferred upon
our heads, the Twelve Apostles, all the
keys and powers belonging to the
apostleship which he himself held before
he was taken away, and no man or set Of
men can get between Joseph and the twelve
either in this world or in the world to
come" They "waited on the Lord" who
blessed them and revealed their future
course.
DOES THIS SETTLE IT?
According to the hundreds of dispatches
sent of to-day it is evident the twelve
and their friends have given orders that
the Church." meaning the untutored
masses, must accept this epistle as
settling the question of the leadership
that Heaven has conferred the ruling power
upon these twelve men, and that it will be
O capital offence to raise objections. These
men, several of whom are said to
have their names on IN indictment
list for participations in murder and other
crimes, have thus the audacity to faunt
their bigotry and craft in the teeth of this
nation, and sneer at the enlightenment of
the nineteenth century.
