The best portable telescope and apparatus at the National Observatory in this city were for- ‘warded for the use of the party. The photo- graphic apparatus ts remarkably complete. Much of it bas been made especially for its peculiar work, and it isexpected that a series of views will be secured better than have heretofore been possible.

Governor Pease bas published a letter stating that Gen. Grant assured him that he will not interfere in the Texas election. PRintine THE NaTIOWAL CURRENCY.—The Treasury officials are becoming impatient at the delay of the Americas and National Bank Companies of New York im furnishing the Bew issue of national currency, and it 1s a probable that unless some change for pe poe agrees 5 work will be taken from these companies and done in the Treas. ury Department, asheretofore. Mr. McUartee, ‘Superintendent of the freaa of Engraving and Printing, retarned Sere from New York this morning, where Re has been for several days past to push for ward the work wpon the new $10 legal tender notes and twenty-five and fifty cents fractional currency notes. The companies have promised to have a sufficient supply of the latter two denominations for is- the Rew ten-dollar notes will mot be ready for issue before the lvth or 15th of September. Abont twenty preeses in the Treasury are now idie om account of the strike of the plate prin- ters in New York, and consequent failure of the companies there tofurnish the Department with the currency; but, should they come up to promises lately made, it is thought these Presses can be put to work in a week or ten days. A strong pressare is being brought to bear to have the work done again in the Treas- ury Department, which wul no doubt have the effect to make the Bank Note Companies harry up the work. Anumber of the strikers in New York have resumed work, and it is thought all ‘will beat work again in the course of a week. Naval ORDERSs.—Capt. R. N.

The Senatas Consultum was them read. In addition to the provisions heretofore telegraphed, it preseribes that ministers are to depend only on the Emperor, and will continue to deliberate in couneil, ‘under his presidency. They are, however, to be considered responsible for their acts, but can only be impeached by the Sepate. A minister, whether 8 member of the Senate or Corps, bas the right to be present at debates in either chamber. The Minister of Justice made some explanations to the Senate which were of a very liberal character.

Saut Laxsg City, Jaly 20, 1569. Brigham Young at Home. Mr. George Q. Cannon, editor of the Deseret News, who bas kiedly aided us te see the prin- cipal objects of imterest in and about Salt Lake City, took us yesterday to see Brigham Yo ‘We were received in bis private office, opening to the right of the tithing office, and situated between his two residences Known as the Lion House and the Bee Hive House. The office is &@ spacious room, divided in the middle bya Tailing, and carpeted witb ingrain, aod witb furniture of walnut, scroll-pattera, up! stered in brown rep. The front part of the di- vasion, used apparently as an audience cham ber, bad cbairs and lounges, and in the center & stand holding a vase, a foot high, with ar immense boquet, built up in the shape of a spruce-tree, of open-air flowers,doubtless from bis own gardens. On each side of the inner room was @ desk, one occupied by Brigham and the other by his Secretary. The turniture seemed to be mostly of pine, with some pre- tensions to carving, or cabinet dispiay. The desks were peculiar in shape, the table being supported by what appeared to be verd antique Pillars, but really wood painted in imitation of thatstone. All the farniture is made here, it being the policy of Young to use only home mapufactures. On the walle, near the ceiling, ‘were suspended portraits of leading Mormons, including those of the present “Quoram of ‘Twelve Aposties;” the post of honor being oc- cupied by the pictares of Josephand Hiram Smitb. The portraits were evidently painted by a native artist; the likenesses being fair, but the execution of the sign-board order Lower on the walls were pictures of Andrew Joun- son and Ben. Halladay, of stage-line fame, sent to Brigham Young by these worthies, Front View of a Modern P: ‘The mantle of Joseph Smith fell upon Brig- bam Young, as all good Mormons believe, and consequently he succeeds to the title of the Prophet. When we entered the Prophet was seated im the rear of the room, and he rose to receive us. Naturally we took a scrutinizing look at the man who has occupied so much of the public attention for many years. As 1 have mentioned already, he is more insignificant in figure than pictures of him wouid indicate. He is about 5 teet © inches, but is said to stand an inch shorter than when ten years younger. His head is pear-shaped, heavy at the base and narrowing towards the top; and the resemblance to that fruit is considerably heightened by bis wearing his sandy hair in the form of aroach. He bas a full beard, ran- nimg below bis moutb, the lower part pretty gray and nestling im his capacious neck-cloth- His eyes are a grayish-blue, cold, small. and more than half veiled by drooping eye-lids. ‘They are badly mated orbs, tor when he un- bends to tell a jocose story the right eye lights up ‘with considerable humor, but the left, perhaps from some defect of the nerves utterly refuses toobey the helm, and remains as umsympa. thetic a8 8 glass-eye. A eam across his face, taking the place of lips, divides a pair of mas sive jaws, and when opened, discloses a set of imperfectly fitted false teetb, the workmanship. probably, of @ Sait Lake dentist. His blonde hair, fair complexion and light clothes were all in aconcatepation according.” He wore yellow Russian duck pantaloons, white duck coat, white Marseilles vest, black neckerchief, and a heavy hair watch guard, trom which was suspended a number of charms, made mostly of hair, the most prominent of which ‘Was & woman’s gaiter-shoe, fashioned of hair, with a golden sole, beneath which was a tiny skate, also of gold. A puff-bosomed shirt, fastened by substantial pearl buttons, aud heavy calf-skin boots completed the costame of this latest of the line ot Prophets and Patri- archs. A Free Talk With Bri; Brigham Young does not dote upon newspa- per men, and there was an ominous compres- sion of his lip-less mouth as one after another of our party was mtroduced to him as con- nected with the press. “Well, Mr. Young, we find you here no, quite so black as you have been painted!” Brigham, (tartly.)—“1t is you who bave painted us!” In the conversation that ensued Brigham complained that correspondents had come to see them, and pains had been taken to show them everything, and they had gone away and Utterly misrepresented everything they saw. Some had treated them fairly, put most of the mdents had utterly misrepresented them. But, said he—“We are used to abuse, And it does not harm us. The mountains that surround us”—with @ lofty waveof the hand— “are so high that the abuse aimed at us goes above them far over our heads!” Apostle George A. Smizh, First Counsellor to Brigham Young, who was present, complained that Fitz Hugh Ludlow, im his fancifal nar- Tat.ve, had set him dowa as uttering rebel sentiments in an address delivered by him at the Tabernacle in 1568. The fact was the address ‘was purely of a historical nature, based on the Book of Mormon. giving a sketch ef their esrly history, and had nothing to do with politics. Some complaint was made of the statements of Richardson, of the New York Tribune, but they held that he was fairer than Bowles, of the Springtield Repullican. Mr. Smim charged that the visit of Colfax, Bowles, Richardson and political capital vy a took place. AMogether the Mormons seemed to have themeelves up to a state of bard to@evelop their gold resources . lise, systematic way. But he dwelt with evi- Gent satisfaction upon the richness ef their territory in usefal misefals, iron especially, end ehowed us a bar some four feet in lengtn, ‘worked oat with a hammer, by's man not 3 practical irom-torger. It was of remarkably fine texture, and too rich te make cast-iron from. This ore ts found im large quantities about two hundred miles soush of Salt Lake Oty. In reference to the allegations that the Mor- mons dread the approach of railroads as inim- ical to Mormon iastitutions, Mr. Young re. ferred to tne fact tbat as long #go as 1852 they hed memorialized Congress for the constrac- tion + of @ great naconail central railroad co the Pacific.” and setting forth as reasons for its construction precisely the same argumeats in Debalf that have been used effectively at © Jaur date. He said the road ought to have gone by the way of Salt Lake City, south of the Lake, and wat the company would yet and their mistake in undertaking to run it through | the kanyons north, liable as ‘hey were to tor rents and blocking snows. The Union Pacific Company, be said, owed him yet about a mil- lion of dollars for work done on the road, and be complained, with some bitterness, that they paid everybody but the Mormons. ‘We bed some curiosity to ascertain bow the Mormons stood on the negro question, and the following was the result of the inquiries pro- pounded “Are there apy negroes in your Territory!” Brigtac—-A few. There are a considerable ber scattered throng the Territory.” Are they bere as members of the Mormon Church, oras Gentiles!” Brngbam—~<Ibey are connected with the Cburcb.” “What is their status Bere in the Territory?” Brigham.—«We consider them and treat them ar, what they are, the sons of Cain.” “Are they admitted to equal fellowship in your church!” Brgbam.—-No distinction ts made against them as members of the cbarch, bat they are Rot eligible to any office, either civil or re- ligious. A good many of them were brought | bere by Southern brethren, when they came from the States. They are industrious and useful members of the community.” “How many Indians have you in the Terri- tors!” Brigham.—1 @ no idea. The tribes are migratory. Those within the Territory when wecame bave all died o «Haye you been disturbed as 8 people by the lodrans?” Brigham.—“We have not. The principal Gifficulty with the Iadians grew out of depre- dations commited by passing (ravelers upen the Indiang, wbojretaliated upon Mormon set- ters. If you will wait & moment I will relate a httle incident showing our mode of dealing with the Indians. When our band of 143 Pioneers came out to locate a place here for settlement, when we came to the Pawnee country, through which the emigrant travel passed, the Indians undertook to levy tribute Upon us, Sccording to their practice apon emi- granis. We had but little to give them, but gave what we could spare. The Indians were dissatisfied, and demauded more. No word ‘Was spo! but the signal was given to each captain, and in ® moment every man had his rifle leveled and our cannon was trained on the Indians. We then started on our way; the Indians standing in mute astonish: has been our policy ever since the Indians, to treat them kind! tate to them instead of being dictated to by bem, and to tet them know that we think a little better of ourselves than we do of them.” The vim with which Brigham gave atterance 1 bis v Ss upon the Indian question, and bis“rantankerous” expression of countenance at the same Lime indicated that he is a good deal ofa muscular christian, and bas no great faith in Quaker Commissiens. Brigham bad now thawed out, talking with animation and force. We could not help notic- img the immense vitality of the man as indi- cated in bis figure and action. The conver- satjon now drifted mto a chaanel personal to bimeelt. ‘If not imper'inent, Mr. Young, may we inquire your age!” Brigham —“] am now 6).” “We saw yoar son, Brizbam. jr., at the theater Saturday might, and be looked almost older than yours+if.” Brigham, (laugbing)—“Yes. He isa little bald. Baldness is not known in the Young family, but his comes from attempting to doctor ® wart on Bis bead.” “We have been told that you suffer from lang disease.” Brigham, (quickly).—“Indeed! who told you thar?” “A lady who came in the stage with us from Deseret, She said you were not able to preach regularly on account of an affection of the Jungs.” Brigham —“No!” (throwing eut bis chest.) “My Jungs are all right. I have some trouble With my thfoat, obliging me to take some pre- cautions in speaking. 1 find some weakness in the mascalar action of the vocal organs.
