every probability of a stormy time in
the Republican State Convention there,
which will meet on the 10Th instant.
He does not believe that any resolution
condemning the Administration for its

The ssHerald's'' Mormon Sensation.
NEW YORK, June Is.
The Herald's Salt Lake special says:
MOrmonism is SO shaken in its very
bones by the power given to Howard's
elbow at Washington, and by partial
intimatiOn of evidence in his posses
sion in regard to the priesthood, that
the latter are kept very busy at the
Lion House. Several secret meetings
have been held there during the past
few days. Continued organization for
future resistance to probable arrests,
which have been so secuted by stub
born OF ignorant newspapers, Is pro-
ceeding with greater energy, as we'll as
secrecy, than before. Mormon ennis
saries are on their way East and West,
and Mormon missionaries already es-
tablished in the East have received in
structiOns to use every means to coun-
teract the effect of the Herald's reve-
latiOnS.
