INTERESTING FROM UTAH,
MORMON ESPlOSAGR OVER TIE GESfLgS.
THE CASE OFDR. GARLAND HURT
Fight Months Experience among the Mormons


The Commissioners started on their return last
Saturday afternoon. Before they lef: they had an
interview with Brigham Young concerning the
garbltd report of the proce edipss in the confer
ences. The conferences closed on June l3. The
report was not submitted to Gov. Powell Until
July |. On the Cd, Gov. p. made two appoint
ments for interviews with Albert Cariipgteo, the
editor Of The DESERT Nnes, both of which thst
gentleman failed to keep. On the morning of the
Sd. the Commissioners addressed note to Brig
ham Young cerning the report, AID intrusted it
TO Mi. A. V. Brooke for delivery On proceed
irp to Ycune's mansion, Msj. Brooke was accosted
by two armed guardsmen, one Of whom told him
that he could not see Brigham at all, and the other
that if he wished to deliver the note in person he
muit enter by back door. The Msior after
wsitiIg for admission more than quarter Of al
hour, returned the rote to the Commissioners.
Very shortly Albert CarriDgton made his appear
sr ce at their room, and remained there nearly two
hours, during which time ssynopsis of the proceed
pgs in the conferences was prepared. with which
the party then proceeded to Brigham. The Commis.
sioneIs requested his signature to attest the accu
rscy Of the document. and il was given.
The wtole chain Of circumstances gives color to
the charge that willful misrepresentation Of the
POSITION assumed BY tie Commissioners was con-
terplated by some of the Mormon leaders. The
Omissions and peIvefsons of language with which
The report furnished BY Darlington abOunded, eau
not easily be explained on any other theory.
Tie 4th Of July pasted in this city without the
slightest celebration. 1t was thought possible that
(tte day berg Sunday the Tabernacle might be
opered and speeches delivered there By Yourg and
Rimbsl; but the blocks of stone with which the
entrances TO The Temple square were bsrr.caded at
tie time Of the emigration TO the south are no. re-
moved, al it is runored that the Tabernacle will
lot be opened even for Mormon religious services
for some days to come. In the camp Of the army
natiolal salute was fired at noOn but the report Of
tie guns did not reach the city. This morning at
O'Clock the Mormons ran up flag on the Deseret
,toIe ard fired islate with an iron six FOUNDER.
Their band serenaded Brigham Yourg with Hall
Columbia" ard the "Stsr-Spansled Banner"
Later in the day they paid the same compliment to
the Territorial Secretary.
The merchants have not yet secured buildings in
which to open their stock for sale. Their terts on
the public square are surrounded by dozens Of
MoImons from tunrse to sunset begging to be
allowed to buy all kinds of articles but the invara-
Bile reply is that not pound of coffee, not yard of
CLOTH shall be seld until Brigham shall give way
and allow stores to be rented Judge Eckles on
Friday succeeded in renting small house on Emi-
grafton street, and moved into it the next day.
Secretary Hartnett has rented house on an ad-
itppg street, into which he viii move tom PROV.
On the evening after the Judge had arrived he
received q call from George A. Smith, the Church
Historian, - Smoot, the Mayor Of the city, and
Jesse C. Little, the City Marshal, who had the
coolLees to remark that they were not aware of his
presence with the army, otherwise a house should
lave been placed at bis disposal. Neither Brigham
Young nor Heber C. Kimball have, to my knowl-
edge called since their return on any of the civil Of
fctrs SO far, however, as the personal demeanor
of the principal MormOns is concerned, no Gentle
except the Postmaster has reason to complain oi
direct insult The annOyances to which they are
liable are only legitimate results OF the system OF
non.intercourse which the leaders OF the Church
have enoined upon their followers. The espionage
10 which we are all subjected is not the least of
these annoyances Ihave rarely been able to carry
on a conversation with Gentle on the sidewalk
for more than five minutes without detecting some
Mormon in the act of listening to our talk. In one
or two instances when have taken letters from the
Post. Office which was desirous to read lmInedi,
ately and have sat down on the doorstep and opened
them. I have turned my head suddenly and found a
pair Of inqusltiye eyes peeplng over my shoulder.
Last night, between II and O'Clock, d negro SER
want Of Marshal Dotson caught man armed with
club lurking in the sbrubbery in front of his house.
He seized him and demanded what was his business
there. The man replied that he was - stationed
there by order He was warned that no order
would Justify his entrance into gentlemans YARD
and was then turned into the street II the bark
of watch dogs is good evidence in the premises the
"orders' apply to every house in the city where
Gentiles are quartered
Itwas announced to day that Lewis Robinson, the
Mormon Quartermaster. General, would turn over 10
