THE OLD UTAH SINNER.

SALT LAKE, Oct Sat an interview with
Brigham Young, he appeared somewhat i'm
proved and more disposed to converse on his
situation. He laughed upon hearing the sensa-
tional reports sent east, and averred that there
was no more orderly place to be found on the
continent. He had not the least feeling of un-
eaSineSs or doubt since proceedings against him
and his people began. He was panied to hear
that President Grant authorized this crusade
1t was simply the power of the Methodist church.

enterprises to the saints now proposes to de-
Stroy them with Methodist governors Judges
and packed jurieS Of the Methodist persuasion
but who, by the blessing of God, had totally
failed in inducing a single member of Zion's
flock to abiure the faith. 1t was proposed he
said, to prosecute him first for lasciviouS cohabi-
tation under the Utah statutes, then to try him
Tor bigamy or polygamy, and finally to hold
MN for various murders committed by Bill
hickman and other outlaws called Dantcs or
destroying angels. They were thoughtful TO
begin gently with him, but, said he | am con-
tent to abide by every law that is Just; for every
law that prevents freedom of religious belief
must be decided unconstitutional, and the YER
diet would be total defeat of the bad men now
seeking to injure and disgrace him and his peo-
pie.
If there is any trouble thelresponsibility will
be with the official who got it up. Right will

rise up in their strength and unitedly protest to
the president against the course of these officials
who, he said, were keeping out capital from the
east and England. | propose, said Brigham, to
nave peace here and believe the Mormons will
never do aught TO disturb that peace. The ru-
morcd troubles are the work of wicked men, who
want trouble for their gain.
Much more was said, and apparently of a
pacific nature; but it was evident that Brigham
felt much disturbed-lrequently holding his
head down upon his hands, and seemingly
speaking with himself, like man in trouble and
grei. There are rumors of other arrests TO be
made of prominent Mormons, but the signs are
that all will yield quietly to the law.
