MOrmonism's Saints Declared on the
Verge of Dangerous Desperation.
SALT LAKE, Feb. 2.-President John
Taylor spoke in the Tabernacle yester-
day. He referred to his recent trip, and
said that the Saints were being persecut-
ed in Arizona and sent to an American
Siberia for living up to their religion. He
spoke of the Federal officers here as
sneaks and tramps, intruding with pro-
cess from courts into the homes of the
people. This was hard to bear. and for
bearance might cease TO be a yir-
tue. He said that the Saints
would not stand it much longer. He did
not want blood to flow, but there would
be a change before long. These perse-
cutions were making sone Of the saints
think OF going to a foreign country to
preserve their religious liberty there.
There might be another pilgrims day. He
said the saints were illegally punished at
home and killed in the Southern States,
and no one was punished for the murder
ing OF missionaries.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2.-Judge Morris, in
the United States District Court to-day,
rendered his decision in the case Of
Martha Stewart and three others color
ed, against the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Richmond Steamboat Company. The
libellants purchased frst-class passage
tickets on a steamboat, and sue after
having been told that they would not be
admitted to sleeping apartments occupied
by white females. This suit was brought
to recover $500 each for exclusion from
that apartment. Judge Morris said that it
was the right of a common carrier of pas
sengers to make regulations for the sepa-
ration OF different classes Of persons, but
they have no right to make any difference
in the comfort or convenience of those
who pay equal fare. The forward cabin
assigned to colored females was net in as
comfortable condition as that assigned
to white females, and he, therefore.
awarded a decree of 500 to each of the
Hbellants: Notice of appeal was given
