A Tempest in Mormondom.
Advices from Salt Lake, dated June 30th, gives the following:
The Tribune of to-morrow will contain a proclamation of Hon. George A. Black, Sec-retary and Acting Governor, forbidding all musters, parties or gathering of the militia of Utah, or of armed persons within the Ter-ritory, except by the Governor's orders or by order of the United States Marshal in case a posse comitatus is required to enforce the order of the Court. This proclamation has been issued in view of certain orders of Daniel H. Wells, calling himself Lieutenant-General, an office not recognized by the Government, which orders out three companies of infantry, one of artillery and one of cavalry, ostensibly to participate in the Mormon procession on the Fourth of July. Wells usurps power in ordering out the militia, since Gov. Shaffer appointed General Connor commander of the militia, and the assembling of troops is in direct violation of the order of Gov. Shaffer, which has never been countermanded. The at-tempt is made in order to maintain the organ-ization of the Nauvoo Legion outside of con-trol of the Governor of the Territory. Mr. Wells is a Lieutenant General of this Le-gion, but pretends to order out the troops as Lieutenant General of the militia. H. B. Clawson, who signs the order as Adjutant General, is not recognized by the Govern-ment. He dates his order from the Adjutant General's office of Utah Territory. Gov. Shaffer appointed Col. Johns Adjutant Gen-eral, and he alone can execute the duties of the office. It is generally believed the Mor-mons will not attempt to carry out their scheme in the face of the proclamation. If they do, the laws will be enforced and trouble may ensue. The Mormon press furiously as-sault Gov. Woods for representing to the President that they were engaged with the California-Nevada ring in attempting to re-move the Judiciary and other officials stand-ing between them and the lines. They pro-fess to be tolerably well satisfied with the Judges, though they are eternally abusing and villifying them. There is very general satisfaction at the stand taken by President Grant concerning the Judiciary. Their re-moval just now, on the demands of a corrupt and unscrupulous ring, would be extremely detrimental to the best interests of the coun-try, and would seriously weaken the authori-ty of the Government. Gen. De Trobriand has relieved Gen. Morrow as commander of Camp Douglas.
