PLA1H TALK OF THI LATTER.
A Salt l>ake newspaper of yesterday give* the
following account of the interview between
Speaker Blaine and Brigham Young. Bnghani
wanted to impress the Speaker with the ide?
that Congress had no right whatever to inter
fe re with the local affair* of a government o?
the territory in any respect: that anv attempt
to interfere was a breach of faith, and said thev
should be left just as the organic law left them
and Have full power to do all legislation with
out let or hindrance.
The Speaker reminded Brigham that the
Presidential contest of 1M1 was fought on the
direct issue of the right of Congress to contro
domestic institutions of the territories, and that
Mr. Lincoln was chosen on that ground. Con
grese had exercised its power bv abolishing the
relation of master and slave, and its authority
was plenary in the premises, and the extent of
its exercise a matter of discretion. The or
ganic act of I'tah was by its terms subject ti>
amendment and repeal, and no enactment or
,??1*'*ture was of the slightest
v ? . *7 Congress chooses to annul.
Brigham said if that is your doctrine out
rights and our interests demand that we be ad
mitted as a state. We have the requisite popu
lation, resources and wealth.
"It may be true, Mr. Young." the Speaker re
plied. ??i on have the necessary population and
DOt speaking to you with the frank ne*
witn which I should speak were I on the floor ot
' must say that Utah can never be
admitted as a state as long as the institution of
polygamy is upheld and practiced bv the Mor
mon church, and as I understand by the great
mass of your people."
This remark seemed to nettle Brigham con
. 79 he kept his temper, and pro
ceeded to a long dessertation on the relative
purity of morals of tbe Eastern cities in com
parison with thoee of Utah, contending that the
superiority was on the side of the latter.
"But, Mr. Young," responded the Speaker,
what yon denounce in the Kan Is done against
law and clandestinely, and is admitted to be
wrong even by those who indulge in it. What
, , * t*h not only done often! v bv sanc
k*W'u u?,*f the *PProv*l and'command
r ?uc'1 practices and opinions.
SS tTOm those of the people ot
the I nited States, you cannot, in my judg
ment, ever be admitted to a participation in the
(lOvernment of the Unian."
'? Well .thenaaid Brigham,'-what are vou
going to do about it4.' You seem always worrv
lenIi(.laV"fir^.-'" Con*rcw rim1 *?empUng to
??Why," replied the Speaker, "what specific
measures Congress will adopt is not for me to
say: but I will assure you Congress will adnatf
such measures as in its opinion may be neces
sary to maintain tbe Federal authority in thi*
territory; but as to Congress worrying about
Utah, it is my impression the worrying is all or
the other side. 1 do not think it would be ri^h'
nor wise to do anything to persecute your ih-o
pie tor what they mav conscientiously believe
however much I may differ rrorn them, but at
the same time I would not leave on your mind
Con?re^ ??y not at an
early time legislate on your affairs in just such
manner as they may deem for the general good. '

MIXED S< BOOL Ml BSTIOH DIOCC-_.
At a meeting of the < ounty School Trastoeo
yesterday the board went into committee of the
whole, Mr. David Miller In the chair, for tho
Kl*>se ot considering the reaolation of tho
islature calling on the Governor for a report
id relation to
BEDt'CTIOB OP CXPEXSM OP TUB COCBTT
SCHOOLS.
The reeolution was rend, and Mr. Brown,
chairman ot the finance committee, reported
that they hare decided to present the last an
neal rejiort as the answer to the first inqnirr,
and that the finance committee report the no
tual and ultimate ex|?n*es of the current year
as the Answer to the second inquiry, aad far
ther, to consolidate four schools in two, aad to
take away an assistant teacher in another
school, vrhich they reported was the oaly prac
ticable act ot economy for the current rear,
those changes making a reduction of about
fJ.JUO per annum.
MIXED SCHOOLS.
Mr. Mitchell submitted a resolution that
whenever two school* located not more than oao
mile apart shall have only aaingle teaohor each,
the two that may be nearest to each other shall
be united into one school, with a single princi
pal teacher, or a principal teacher and one as
sistant, with the proviso that in said consolida
tion no discrimination shall be medcoo account
of race, color, or previous condition of earri
tude. He made a long speech in favor of hla
resolution.
Mr. Brown asked how many white childrew
would be left in the schools?
Mr. Mitchell thought the mxtare woold bo
beneficial to the interests of both.
Mr. Brown contended that they had no
to consolidate white and colored. He
that the colored schools were in the faw
and the colored children had the best adv.?
tagee. He thought that the proposition should
come from the white people to the oolored to
mix the schools, as the latter had all the ad
vantages.
Mr. Mitchell said he made this preposition as
a matter of economy. Bo for aa the question of
breaking up the school* was concerned, it had
not done so in other i*rts ot the country.
