An old man upward of 60, on being asked, how he liked it in Zion, exclaimed: in Zion have I for the first time in all my life been laid on a manure pile in Gods open air. We stole somehnyyondertohave under us, keeping our clothing from being too much soiled. But I ought not to complain. See this woman, my neighbors wife!

Among the managers of the tithing yard there happeded to bo none of Swedish descent, and so all the Swedish immigrants had to lie in the open stable sheds, women, children, aged, and infirm with but little or no shelter against the inclemency of an autumn night. During that first night there sprang up in more than one bosom, the germ of apostacy. And we earnestly hope, that in due time it will spread out in full bloom, bursting asunder the enchanting fetters, that put them crouching before the feet of an unscrupulous priesthood. the trials of Another example their faith lias to undergo, was furnished us at the last emigration.

That inchoate rebellion which calls itself the Church of Latter-da- y Saints" shows a disposition to emerge from a passive to' an active state of resistance to the laws. The advent of the Utah Commission, and the beginning of operations under the Edmunds bill, have called out a manifesto from the presidents of the Mormon Church. They bid their followers to prepare to guard well our franchise, and in one unbroken phalanx maintain and sustain our political status, and as patriots and freemen operate together in defence of what few liberties are left us. The liberty which they seek to defend is the liberty to defy the public sentiment and to trample upon the laws of the nation. They have done this for more than a quarter of a century. Congress has at last passed an act aimed at the political power which is the buttress of this alien barbarism that calls itself a This law destroys the Church. political status of polygamists by disfranchising them and rendering them ineligible to hold office.
