SALT LAKE CRY, July 20.-When
last 1 wrote the weather was 30 cool
that %frosts, injuring vines and other
vegetation, were reported from the
surrounding higher valleys. Since
then, however, we have had one of
the hottest, most oppressive spells
ever recollected by the white inhab-
itants of this mountain region, and it
still continues. AS n consequence the
mortality of the present month is high,
and sickness prevalent, though, con-
sidering the conditions, the death rate
is by no means alarming.
On Saturday last Joseph Young,
the eldest brother Of the late presi-
dent of the Morning Church died in
this city, in his S5th year. He was a
man of a very different stamp to his
more widely known brother, not pos
sessing the fo~rcefulness and executive
ability, but he vas much loved for
his gentleness, disinteredness, charity
and overlooking sympathy for the
poor and oppressed. He had held
since 1885 the ecclesiastical dignity OF
the president Of the Seventies, but
was little known outside of the Nor
mon community, though in early life
he had been a Methodist minister.
His funeral services to-day, in the
large tabernacle, were attended by
thousands. There is at present but
one survivor of the brothers, (the
youngest, Lorenzo d. of whom Brig
ham Young was tho most prominent.
There is also a young
er half brother still living.
Some of your readers may be inter-
ested in knowing who the Seventie s
are, above mentioned. . They r a
portion of the superior order of the
Mormon Priesthood, divided into
bodies of seventy men each, quorums
they are called here, whose particular
duty is supposed to be to preach the
gospel, as missionaries, in foreign parts,
under the direction of their twelve
Apostles, who have the special charge
of missionary operations. These Sew
entities + presided over by eve Of
tcers, of whom the deceased was the
senior, and by reason of his seniority
ranked his associates.
Yesterday Chief Justice Hunter, in
the contested election cas- of Cannon
VS.. Campbell, dissolved the injunction
restraining Mr.. Cannon from receiv-
ing his salary as delegate to congress
from Utah. The judge gave no
reasons for his action; but it is alto
gether presumable that he was salts
fled he had nc power i'll the matter.
Certainly he could not restrain Mr.
Adams, the clerk of the house Of rep
resentatives, foom paying MIR. Can
non if he wished, and it is difficult to
understand how he could prevent Mr..
Cannon from receiving the money.
The next pelnt before the court in
this celebrated case, will be to deter
mine the regularity of the naturaliza-
ton papers Of Mr. Cannon. 1t is not
supposed, however, that any action of
the territorial court, will have weight
with congress in deciding upon MI.
Cannon's right to the seat for which
he received 80 heavy a majority of
votes.
There are now no polygamists in
prison, convicted Of that offense.
Reynolds and Cotton have served their
terms The Judgment in the Miles
case has haan rayarsad IN the suprama
court of the United States, owing to
certain irregularities in the proceed
ings of the district court; but there
are two or three others under indict-
ment. The most noted of these is
Mi. John w. Young, the third son
of Brigham Young, now engaged in
filling large railroad contracts in Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. Mr.. Young
is a man Of great energy and business
