There no halfway measures with Brigham;
IL must be all nor nothing. Fellowship with him
now must be at the price OF a full surrender OF
thing or be anybody. Bv the voiition OF his own
Will or BY the application OF his heaven-glven
powers he must not ACHE must not apply MN

But Brigham has not yet achieved the task
OF general enslavement. This city has unquestiOn-
ably gone out Of his hands; The brains ran Of the
Enoch. When he arrived here two weeks ago he
spoke in the same dominant tone tnat he had used
OF dissatisfaction. There are too many Gentiles
and apostates here for mis- peace, and we are hourly
IN communication with the resi- q the world t oy
press have conquered the priesthood. The fear OF
Brighams anathemas, his hell, fire, birthstone and
and apostate meetings are crowded BY the intel

and act as he did in the South there would be an

COMMERCIAL MEN AGAINST HIM.
In his first utterances here he announced his de-
termination to make his Order OF En0Ch q text OF
fellowship, but he soon learned that the wealthy
men would not submit to IL and he has backed
down. His grand commercial scheme, "Zion's Co
operative Mercantile Institution that mas It's
creditors all over the United STATES and was on the
verge Of bankruptcy few months ago. has only
been saved from the general destruction by the
timely and determined protest OF jennings the
Vice President and Hooper, the General super
intendent. They were business men and had large
interests In 1t and they gave the Prophet very
clearly to understand that his Enoch schemes
should not disturb their commercial credit so long
as they could prevent it, and they made him back

THE PRESS AT WORK.
Some idea OF the hornets nest that ne has dis.
turbed may be gathered from the TACT that while
his Church papers dare not come to his help and
defend his "Order of Enoch," the Tribune every
day is perfectly unmerclful in its exposures. A
new daily paper mas sprung into iife edited by one
OF the Prophets nephews and another young Nor,
mon writer. and their attacks upon the priesthood
are whitening. In addition 10 these comic Illus
trated paper under the title of Enocl's Advocate,
mas appeared, and the caricatures OF Brigham and
the priesthood rival the best days OF Punch.
