TROUBLE BREWING.

[From the Salt Lake Tribune, July 11.]

By referring to our local columns this morning a synopsis of Judge Boren's discourse at the Institute last night will be found. This movement on the part of the Smith Brothers is going to form a most important part in bringing about a final separation of Church and State in this country. Inasmuch as the succession to Brigham Young is involved, and which we predict in advance is going to be the one which will wreck and split up into factions the Utah organization at the death of its leader. "The question as to who will be the successor of Brigham Young is a perfect mystery to the Mormon people, and a stranger cannot elicit anything from any of them bearing upon that subject, and it looks more than singular that, at the present stage of the game, the lineal descendants of the original founder of Mormonism should now be in Salt Lake City laying claim to the control of the Mormon Church. That this subject is of the most vital interest to the public here was demonstrated by the crowded state of the Institute again last night, amongst whom was noticed not only a portion of the Smith family of the Brighamite persuasion, but the private secretary of Brigham Young himself, who was undoubtedly there in the interests of his master's kingdom, a fact which betrays how keenly the Prophet himself is interested in the mission of the Smiths to this country."
