OGDIN, Utah, Aug. l2-The conviction
and imprisonment OF Reynolds tor polyg
amy, the murder of Standing, the Mormon
preacher in Georgia, the imprisonment of
Geo. @ Cannon, delegate to Congress, and
the other executors of Brigham Young s
estate for contempt, have caused bitter
feeling. and the Nesos, leading church
paper, has.lateiy contained threatening ais
ticles. and inhammatory speeches have
been made. As to Evarts anti-MormoD
circular to foreign countries, it is treated
with contempt. It is claimed that it
would be absurd to suppose that any
European government would undertake to
establish an inqnisition to determine the
religious faith of emiGrants, or that all in
tend to enter into polygamy. There Is nc
evidence of any intention of forcible resls-
tance to the government, but the Mormons
are mostly we'll armed.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The President
by an executive order has restored 10 the
public domain S,259, ,25O acres of land on
the northeastern bank of the Missouri
river, corresponding in general outlines to
the area withdrawn by the executive
orders of January 1lth and May Sth, 1875,
now revoked. Small sections of the terri
tory Immediately adjoining Grand river,
Cheyenne and Indian Rock agencies are
still withheld. It was intended, when the
orders aow revoked were issued, to keep
the whites from pressing too closely upon
the Sioux Indians, but in practice it was
found that the orders did not prevent
trespass by the reckless frontiersmen, who
preyed alike upon the peaceable whites
and Indians, hence the lands are agaiu
thrown open to settlement.
