MORGAN, THE MORuOy.

Boom In the Church.

Late National Legislation Causing n
Boom In the Church.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July e9.-Elder
John Morgan, the well known Mormon,
and doubtless one OF the most influential
members OF the church east oil the Rockies,
was in this city Yesterday. He has been
attending different Conferences throughout
the Southwest, and will be thus engaged
for some weeks longer. lie was asked how
the church was affected by the recent Ma
tional legislation, and answered that the
effect is most salutary; tina. the agitation
has made worker out OF every Mormon,
and at this moment the church is gaining
more converts in this section than ever
before. The number OF accessions, he
says, is not only greatly in excess OF what
was ever before known, but they are &C.
cured with less difficulty and be-
come more ardent supporters OF the
Church. The laws themselves have not
troubled the AIormons in Utah to any
great extent, but have been source OF q
great deal OF vexation 10 the Gentiles in
that State from the fact that now that war
is declared on the Mormons, they will no
longer contribute to the supper; OF Cen
tiles, and have withdrawn all their trade,
and the business interests Of that class
have suffered greatly. He also says that
the laws will be found to be dead letter,
lust as were the laws prohibiting plural
marriages, which were enacted in is6e. He
states further that, in his opinion, the
whole contest is political, and If simply an
endeavor on the part Of the Republicans
to have the Territory admitted to the
Union by disfranchising the Mormons and
giving them two additional United States
Senators. "Mormonism,' he adds, Should
be treated socially, not politically. 1t is
entirely out Of the range OF politics, and it
will be found that all political measures
enacted TO repress it will have only con-
trary effect. The history ofall ages proves
that no religion can be stamped out by per-
secution, and much less can it be done at
the present day, with all our improved
requirements OF science, laws" &c.

PnlLApELrnIA, July 29.-Twenty more
Jewish refugees from Russia we're shipped
back BY the Illinois to-day. This makes
the number SO far returned about one hun.
dred and ten. member Of the Commit.
tee said they would not work. The great
trouble Is that they do not know
how TO do anything except get
married. They never did any hard
work in Russia. They all come here
with the idea that they will be supplied
with large sum OF money, and have easy
work 10 do, il any at all. II you place
them at heavy work, they are either una.
BILE 10 do it, or are too lazy, and play Off
sick. Ii We give them $40 and tell them to
go and find work, they will go off until the
money is spent, and then return.
Some OF them give general satisfaction.
The most skillful are the damen
schneidern, or women tailors. who are
very industrious, and make good wages.
The committee has purchased four sewing
machines for them this week. The women
are all familiar with their operation, and
even know the names, and ask for their
favorites. Whenever they show any
inclination to work, the ladies
on the committee take The
greatest care Of them. But they
are, as q rule, too ignorant to know
what is good for them and whenever any
OF them gets money she Immediately
squanders it on cucumbers, green apples
and such things. One man is able to earn

OF their characteristics is stubbornness. II

result was they passed the night in

ANOTHER CRISIS AFFAIRS,
The Chamber Refuses the Egyptian
- Credit and the Cabinet Resi- ms. : lgllsls


PARIS, July 29.-In the chamber OF Dep
uties to-day NJ. De Frevcinet proposing the
second vote ofcredit, declared that it was !
question OF confidence in the Cabinet. IIeJ
said that without the mandate OF Europe, I;
Intervention, properly so called, would be
neither wise nor prudent. The present op-
eratiou would lead to no conflict with
Europe, France would occupy the ends OF !.
the canal with 1000 men, and would show
to England that she possessed the sympa- /
thy and moral support OF the French
people. As Turkey had announced an in-3i
tention Of dispaiching troops 10 Egypt, this
was not the moment TO refuse the grant. !.
Such course would be prejudicial 10 tho I
interests OF France in Egypt, and to her!
prestige in the eyes OF the Mussulman9
world. The Powers were reverting 10 the !.
idea Of the collective protection 9oi the
canal, and the conference was about to 7
consider this phase OF the question. Both
France and England would be disposed l;oi
participate in this collective action. In
conclusion u. De Freycinet said: T.sTle
government make direct appeal 10 Il e.
confidence OF the chamber. In this the
ministers are unanimous. ~ ;- y
notwithstanding NJ. De Freycinct's an

Notwithstanding these strong views ON
General Beavers friends it is not denied
that there is a possibility Of some further
steps in the direction Of harmony. The
desire Of the stalwarts for harmony, it is
claimed, is too strong for them to abandon
the effort so long as the slightest prospec,
OF a settlement remains. The most eau.
tious OF their leaders say that it is hard.to
tell what may yet be done. The difference
between the tone OF the leaders who make
states and whose words carry weight in the
councils Of the party and the tone OF the
outside and disinterested friends Of General
Beaver is commented upon as a matter OF
some significance. Y 4 81 a, ~ h
Z That no further negotiations are expected
by the independents would appear from
the fact that they hare enlarged their guar.
ters and are increasing their force OF secre-
taries to carry on the campaign work. j. The
latest addition to- the. force is William
Hunt, Jr., who did efficient work in sim
liar capacity in the Wolfe movement Inst
year. Since the meeting Of Thursday the
Independents have also made several large
contracts for printing and for other work.
