Brigham Young seems to devote all his en-
erQy Co the solution OF two problems by The
force Of Zone argument. the tWo questions, as
Salt Lake City, are: Shall the United States
Goyernuaent exert authority over Mormons ?
and. Shall the social evil be allowed to exert
Its Influences against polygamy Brigham
YounRb solution Is the Importation Of few car.
goes Of muscular men and comely women-the
former possibly tor bellicose purposes, and the
latter as an especial inducement TO the SONS Oh
apostles to ahun evil ways. and accept the faith
and words of their fathers. The first cargo
arrived last night in the Williams d Gnlon
steamship Minnesota. There were six hum
dred of them, single men and single women;
English from the mining districts, Welsh from
the mountains, and Germans from the Rhtne
Valley. Each nationality was In charge OF tne
apostle who had preached especially IN either
country, and the three leaders In the CONVEX
sion of souls will conduct The neophytes to the
promised land.
It was not generally known that these po-
UNANIMOUSLY inclined people were coming, and
they were therefore left In undlsturbed pos

coed on their Journey westward.
In appearance they are q Beedy, Ignorant
lot. The men have evidently been CHOSEN
with q View To- the development OF the mining
resources Of Utah or for the defence OF the
plsceS and the women to become inc neip-
meets of the men and mothers OF the future
generations Of Mormons. The men were
mostly large, powerful fellows, with brawny
hoiIes and coarse, unlntelllgeDt features, just
tina men to embrace the faith of the Latter
day Saints and maintain 1t against all opposl-
Hon. whether 1t came In the shape OF reason

was a. noticeable lack of the gaunt, elderly
femaies who are supposed to form the staple
for tonyerslon, and this fact, 1t Is said, was
frequently remarked during the voyage. That
considerable foresight had been displayed IN
the gathering Of the two hundred men ana
thres hundred young women Is evidenced In
the fact that during the voyage no Sickness
occurred, though OF course the ships officers
contributed to this happy result.
Tine men did not care to speak of the faith
they had embraced, and when a coy maiden
was asked II she knew that she was liable 10

wives, she maintained her modesty IN the dip

The reply was discoursgingly independent,
and. moreover, as the Mormon girl moved
away. q knot of her brawny countrymen had
gathered with lowering looks, and prudence
counselled silence.
It was evident that they had all been eau
New York, In order that they might not be
made ashamed of their new.found faith or
disenchanted with their promised land. They
ali seemed to know that there was something

bring npon themselves, and were disincllned
