The Mormon Conference.

lHc TfIt.uiOA conference
SALT LAKE, October 7th.-The Mormons
closed their Conference to-day John
Taylor, in an address, read what purported
to be statistics from papers published by
notable Eastern authorities, showing the
horribly immoral condition of society in
the New England States. Resuming, Tay-
lor said The people described in the state
ments read are those who are so Mortified
at the immoral condition of Utah, and
from them come our would-be reformers.
His purpose in presenting the statements
in relation to infanticide and other
crimes was to exhibit the true
chars cter of those who perpetrated them,
and to warn the Saints against such char
acters, some of whom were endeavoring to
insinuate themselves into the society and
houses of the people of God. No such per
sons could have lot or place among the
Saints, and on no consideration could be
permitted to enjoy the privileges of the
gospel. He warned the officers of the
Church against giving recommends to
enter polygamy and other church ordi-
nances to adulterers, murderers, or either
men or women guilty of the unnatural
crimes defined in the extracts read. He
directed that those guilty ofsuch practices be
cut off from the Church, and requested that
all VINO favored ILLS view SI1Ouil Sd,
Aye" The response was shout OF
ayes" that seemed almost to make the
building tremble. Among the missiona-
ries called to carry the gospel to the wicked
people described in Taylor's address is a
young Mormon editor, who has been guilty
of everything except infanticide, and would
be guilty of that if he belonged to the softer
sex. He is sent out as minister of the
gospel to reform him, and teach the wicked
of Babylon the true path of virtue.

SALT LAKE, October THAT Mendon

broke down the school-room door, and

desperate fight, and finally succeeded in
getting away from them and escaping into

aroused the neighborhood, and she found
