Mormons on the Plains. The correspondent of the N.Y. Tribune, writing from Salt Lake, under date of Dec.4, chronicles the death of Jedediah M. Grant, second counselor of Brigham Young. He was a prominent member of the Mormon persuasion. In regard to the emigrants on the plains, the correspondent says: ‘‘Another of the hand-cart trains arrived here last Sunday, in a condition which all description. Winter caught them in the mountains, destitute of clothing and provisions, and, but for the relief, which was sent from here every one of them would have perished. As it is, out of the 500 which started, onefourth have died, more than l00 of the remainder. have lost their hands or feet from the effects of the cold. When they reached here, there were not 50 in train who, could help themselves; the rest were stowed in the bottoms of the wagons which had been sent for them, ragged and filthy beyond conception; helpless and despairing, they could not or would not get out of the wagons to attend to the calls of nature, and if the weather had not been intensely cold it would have bred a pestilence. I never imagined such a scene. .Heaven preserve me from witnessing such another. And yet the Deseret News has the effrontery to tell the world that they came through well. “It is said that there are yet hundreds of these poor deluded wretches in the mountains. A few days ago an express reached here from an ox train which is encamped on Green Rivcr. Their cattle had given out, and they were bare of provisions, being obliged to feed on their dead cattle. Some forty wagons, with provisions, have gone to their relief, to endeavor if possible, to get them into Fort Bridges. ~~~~~

On last Thursday, a resolution was introduced by Johnson, of 1’utuam County, reinstating Mr. Woods, Clark, to his seat, but tho Republicans refused, and tbo matter was discussed two entire days, nothing else being done during that time. How the Republicans' can justify themselves in tbeir course of action in this matter is a mystery. p How they can for a moment pretend that Woods was legally deprived ol or expelled from his seat, when there was hot twenty-two Senators present, the Constitution requiring thirty four, is a mystery.; That tho Democrats were at tho time engaged in an. unlawful act, is certainly no excuse for the Repub* licans to do a wrong one; and yet, strange to say, this is the justification with many. It certainly was a good joke, but it lias been carried entirely too far.- It may bo fan to tho Republicans but it is death to Woods, and the people of Clatk County, To-morrow at ten A. M., tho temperanco bill comes up as the special order of tho.dsy,'W what will bo its fate is hard to predict.

Tho/qniet village of Plainfield,- N; J; ( was recently made the rendezvous of parties to a double elopement, causing no little indignation among the good people of the town. Dr, McDaniel and a Mr. Clark, of Putnam county, N, V., engaged rooms in December last, at the village bote], with two. women who passed as their wives. Affairs went swimmingly till last week, when a storm arose. The husband of McDaniel's paramour descended upon their, pleasures, upbrained the doctor with having caused the death of; bis tbretkchildrcu and then had filled his cup of atlliction and dibhouor.by eloping with hta wife. A scene ensued.. The husband stormed, the doctor trembled, the woman fainted, aud io this condition; the affair -was suffered- to rest till morning. But alas * for the vanity of human expectations, .the guilty, parties had lied to parts unknown. Clarke has a wife and two children in New : Hampshire. .The girl with whom he eloped wasbutsixtecu yean old, and refused to return to lier parents.
