INTERVIEW WITH BRIGHAM YOUNG. = A
Tribune correspondent called on Brigham
Young, Wednesday, and stated that he would
like to inform the readers of the Tribune as to
his physical condition and give them his views
concerning his recent arrest. I found the
Mormon chief reclining in his easy chair, with
shawl spread over him. He said he was bet
ter, but weak nom a severe attack of diar-
ri4oea, and too feeble to talk much When ask
ed how be felt in regard to indictment and ar
rest,-"It is as easy as an old shoe" He had
40 fears of the result. All attempts to DESTROY
him and his people had failed heretofore. Bad
men have been sent here as governors and
judges before. They had all failed and sunk
INTO obscurity. The same destiny awaited the
present officials. He did not believe there was
another Territory whose people would submit
to such outrages as the people of Utah has
calmly endured. He wished it understood
that if they proved anything against him they
would have to do it without his aid; he should
admit nothing. He proposed to attend the
court to learn, not to instruct He should
stay right here and fight the ring in their own
courts and with their own weapons. He was

the sending of troops here from outposts, and
thus leaving the Indian country exposed to
depredations, absurd. The interview was cut
short by messenger calling him to family
prayer. There is and has been no excitement

How BRIGHAM Young FEELS. AT an inter-
view with Brigham Young Wednesday, he ap-
peared somewhat improved and more disposed
to converse on his situation. He laug hed upon
heariug the sensational reports sent East, and
averred that there was no more orderly place
10 be found on the continent. He has not the
least feeling of uneasiness or doubt since the
proceedings against him and his people began.
He was panied to hear that President Grant
engaged IN this crusade. 1t was simply the

be total defeat of the bad men now seeking

there is any trouble the responsibility will be
with the officials who get it up Right will
triumph. AS in the past so will it be in the
future. The Mormons had met enemies and
vanqushed them with their own weapons, and
would do so again. Although, said Brigham,
in the present issue every member of the court
is my avowed enemy, and every man not an
out-spoken hater of the Mormons is excluded
from the jury, will go to court on whatever
charge they cook up and trust to the good

CANDIDATE.

Speculation as to who will be the can
didate of the Republican party, for the
next Presidency, we regard as altogether
premature. The ~vastness of good mate
rial from which we have to Gull, in the Sc
lection of our standard bearer. should dis
sipate all fears that any individual will be
chosen so obnoxious to the Republican par
ty, as to bring about its defeat. The Chief
Magistracy of a nation, so great and pow
ersul as our own. the only nation in histo-
~ that has solved the problem of mans
capacity for se~lf-government, the only ma
ton that has tolerated and protected all
political creeds and religious faiths, and
where man enjoys the birth-right of his
freedom, is worry of the loftiest and proud
est ambition. There are a number of men
in the Republican ranks, talented, saga
cious, honest, and of the highest order OF
craftsmanship. who are looking forward.
with confidence, to the Republican nomi-
nation for this position Of dazzling honor
and weighty responsibility. Any of these
will reflect credit upon the country, sue
ccssfulIy manage its multifarious concerns,
and promote the advancement of those
grand ideas Of a free government, which
had their incipiency in the formation of
the Republican party. The friends OF
these several aspirants must and will yield
to the popular choice, expressed in a ma
tional Convention, and support as cordial
ly and energetically, the candidate chosen,
as if he alone had been thought of and
mentioned in SO proud "a connection. The
Republican party 'is held together by the
cohesive power" of a principle that places
right and the general good in advance OF
individual promotions. 1t redeemed the
country from the brutal rule of a pamper-
ed aristocracy, delivered it from the hor-
rors and disasters of rebellion and disun-
ion, and is now determined that these glo-
rious achievements shall not be FILTERED
away by internal %strifes. as to the leader
who shall marshall its armies and perpet-
uate the victories of the martial field In the

tees and decide on the continuance of the
session, \ As there were only thirty-three
votes in the House against a final adjourn
ment, there is no good reason to doubt
the result in the aucus Those who in
sist on a session are anxious for Legislation
to suppress the alleged disorder in the
South.
There was of course no, delay in the or
ganization of the new Congress. The Sem
ate, being a perpetual body, had no organ
ization to perfect beyond swearing in the
seventeen Senators elect, all of whom
were present, while objection was made to
the democratic Senator from Alabama,
Mr.. G~oldthwaite, on the ground that he
had been elected by members of a Legis-
lature who were themselves ineligible.
Twelve of the seventeen new Senators have
never-held the position before. four we're
members of the last Senate, while one
(Mr. Frelinghuysen) has been a Senator
twice before the last Congress Mr.. Gold
thwaite's credentials were referred to the
judiciary committee. but the impression is
general in both parties that he will be
awarded his seat.
In the case of Texas, the Legislature
first elected Mr.. Hamilton for the short
and long term, and then turned around a
year afterwards and elected General Rey-
nolds, the military commander there. In
a precisely similar instance in the Flori-
da case the Senate has already decided
that the latter election wonld not be valid.
The political complexion of the Senate
stands.-not counting Messsrs. Goldth-
waite or vance-23 democrats and IS re-
publicans, with three vacancies, one in
Georgia North Carolina and Virginia. In
the House all the old officers were ~reelec-
ted, and while the Mississippi and Ternes-
see delegations were objected to on the
ground Of ~informallity, they were both adj
mitted though the credentials ofthe latter
were referred for investigation on the
ground that the delegation was elected
under a law which the Legislature has
accidentally repealed.

OUR SCHOOL

We trus the friends of Education will
be wide awake on Saturday next, that be-
ing the day fixed for the election to de-
eide on the question of a tax for the snp-
port of common schools in the county. Our
neigboring county of Greene has already
voted a tax for this purpose aud the peo-
pie so far as we know are well satisfied
with it. Shall Washington County. the old
est county in the State, be behind her sister
counties in providing free education? Let
the masses speak out at the ballot box
on Saturday next, and let the verdict be
FREE SCHOOLS. We can have them if
we will, and have them we must. The
man who votes against free schools votes
to bury the bright intellect of your
children in a cloud of ignorance. No man
who possesses particle of pride in his sec
ton will vote against it. Our people are
asking for immigration. They are eager
to see an influx of capital, skilled mechan-
les and intelligent farmers. How can they
ask men to leave a country where schools
are free to all and settle down among a
people so blind to their interests as to re-
ject free schools when they are offered
them. No man who has the interests of
his children at heart will do it. and for our
part we have not the assurance to ask him.
This is no political question. 1t is one
of vital interest to all of us; and no man
who really loves his children will neglect
to go to the polls on Saturday next and
vote a tax for their education.

ST. DOMINGO.

As is the general impression, the Uni
ted States Commissioners, now exploring
this island, are pot required by the act of
Congress to make any suggestions as to
the practicability or impolicy of its annex
alton to our domain. Although their re-
port will fully determine this matter and
. tho guide of Congressional action upon
:, subject in the future, the entire duty
= the commission will be discharged in re-
= rting upon climate, soil, resources. pro-
t~uctions, and the habits. customs and wish
Il of the people of the Island. The most
sliable information that we have IN
.gard to the progress and doings OF
r. commissioners are contained in the
correspondence Of the leading news
apers of the country. The ~preponderance
{ this correspondence represents the eli
nate as healthy and %salubrious. the air
genial and baimy, resources immense, pro-
auctions varied, the soil exceedingly fer
tile but poorly cultivated. and the people
indolent. thriftless, and unam5itious. The
abundance of fruits during the whole year
obviates the necessity of hard labor to pro-
vide the means of living. Little or no at
tension is paid to agriculture. Architec-
tural art and skill are only displayed in
the massive and splendid ruins of castles,
built centuries ago. that are to be found
in the towns all along the coast.
The people are continually embroiled
in petty wars. despoiling each other and
lorded over by a few men whe have the
courage, energy and ambition to assume a
leadership. The majority of the islanders
are in favor of becoming a part and par
eel of our great Republic. They regard
annexation as the only safe and permanent
remedy for the evils Of misrule and anarchy
which must now e~nslave and debase them.
Baez, the most intelligent parsonage of the
island has treated the Commissioners with
every demonstration of respect and is ex-
tremely anxious that St. Domingo shall be-
come an American dependency. He
wields a powerful influence over his coun-
trymen by his 'shrewdness and executive
abilities. and by his support and manage
ment, annexation promises to be q success
easy Of accomplishment. The adherents
