The Empire City AY/rx gives the following racy account of an interview with this worthy : DRY-GOODS, BOOTS & SHOES, HATS, GROCERIES, Last Ssturdav night, about 1 o’clock, wo hoard a ring at our door and when wo arose am! answore«!, who should stand l»eforp us i but the lost Higbv, accompanied by Mr. Bennett, who. it appears, ha 1 him in tow for some hours. The ex-Revorond was slightly inebriated and in a fine talkingcon- dition, and the temptation for an interview was too great to overcome. “Well, Mr. Higbv. where in the world are you from, am! where bound “Well. I am from the reservation ; came down tlu» coast, and am «going to San Fran cisco tn meet Senator Mitchell. T am in formed von are about to send a dispatch to th«» Standard about mv being here, and that is what I cam«» to see you about. I' doti’t want it t«» go. I suppose vou have later news than I have from Portlami, anti «‘an guess th«» reason.’’ ‘•Yes ; I understand you are indicted and they have Styles in jail, andare looking after you.” "Bv li----- 1 they «lare not throw off on me and they .are treating Styles shamefully they should hav«» bailed him immediately and let him go; but I have fact—I hav«» a letter fr«»m Morton himself siiwe the exami nation, telling me to come t«» Washington and give mv testimony, and I should be paid for it. I had an interview with Mor ton, and kept away at his solicitation. Af- terwarils I got «lispateh after dispatch to «•ome l»etbre th«* committee, but <li«l not obey them, and was not expected to obey them. I hid, as <!ire”ted, and if they expect to make a s«»nj»egoat of me they are mistaking their man.” ‘‘Well, how about Lake and Stvlos ?” “They were hire«I. of cours c.

If they d«»i't stand by me I know enough to set Kelly's tail way up over the moon, I am no fool. ami hav«» it in writing, so that if they go back on me they can't goback on that.” “What did the Republicans expect to gain by unseating Grover, and why this particu lar opposition to him ?’’ “Well. I'll tell you, they never expected to unseat «»rover; th«» primary object was to defeat Nesmith; they f«»ared his influence in Washington with the Administration in the matter of appointments, So it was decide«! to encourage Nesmith to expect a strong lte- publican support and keep him out of cau- «•us, an«l get Grover or some other man nominated, and then throw Nesmith; but the object was to defeat Nesmith at all hazards. and kick up a row among the Democrats at the same time, and Nesmith walk«*«! into th«* trap like a <1—n blind fool, and everything worked finely; then these charges against < Jrover were to be made and investigat«»«l in Washington, ami kept on th«» stocks fora year or two. to break any influence he might have, ami also to have a bearing on the next June election.’’ “Then why is this investigation in Ore gon ?’’ “You see that was not a part of the gen eral ¡»lan; but tirover got a little obstreper ous and Mitchell could not prevent it with out damaging his chances next year.” “Then you think Mitchell is a candidate for re-election ?” “Think! I know it; he has more brains than any man in Oregon, ami is the mover in the whole matter; ami but for the bung ling manner in which this investigation was carried on, or but for the investigation at ill, all of his plans would have been suc cessful, and be and Dick Williams would have controlled the patronage of the w hole coast.” “Doyon think Mitchell knew about hir ing false witnesses ?” “I do not know; but that was done to at tain the result desired by Mitchell and the rest of them." “The papers ha<l you reported as having left the State; w here have you been all the time ?” “At homo part of the time, but on the res ervation hunting and fishinga part of the time.” Here we informed him about the Shu- brick calling for him. and Kelly’s trip to the reservation, and slniwed him the Standard and Mercury in which he was reported as having probably gone <»n the Shubrick. He was greatly surprised, and became quite reticent; however, he said he was told that Kelly had been looking for him and that the Shubr'ck laid off several «lavs, and says he thus explains the whole thing. “But I like a ninny put off to the mountains; by G—d, I thought they dared not give me away.” He called on us again on Sunday, and re quested us to make no use ot what he said the night before; we promised to be as easy on him as we could. SfW IMiase ol the < h Illese <lni»«H toil. A deputation of Chinese merchants waited upon Senator Morton while that gentleman was in San Francisco and requested him to introduce a bill at the next session of Congress provid ing (er the modification or abrogation of the Burlingame treaty, and lor the levying of a per capita tax of one hun dred dollar» on every Chinaman land ed in America. The proceeds of this tax to be devoted to ’paying the back passage to China of those Chinamen who desire to return but lack the means; al-o expressing their intention of endeavoring to induce the O. A O. and Oriental steamship companies to modify their rates ot steerage passage, and to make the rates coming this way $75, while reducing the price hence to China to $30. The ¡»resent rate is $55 either way. They express their read iness to provide all means necessary to pay any expenses incident upon procuring such legislation. Senator Morton expressed his willingness to introduce such a bill. GIlMt.” Our cotemporary has read a late let ter of Senator Morton’s on the political situation, and now the “bloody shirt” haunts him badly again, although Mr. Hayes has effectually buried that en sanguined garment. He would have us believe that the South is scheming for the payment of the Southern war claims and that the Democracy can not ignore the demands of that section in the premises, assertions forever set at rest in the last campaign. Now that he declares this Southern claims bugbear must be an issue in the next Presidential contest we expect the op- posing parties in 1880 to inquire of him who the candidates shall be in that event. i 41 ilici al Account ol the Hattie.

That sheet says he is not at all worthy of the position, from various important reasons, not excepting venality and incompetence. New Volume. i Democratic Ualun.

A London dispatch says a new cru sade is the latest scheme of the Papal propagandists. The Vatican has set tled upon a grand plan for a crusade to he called the International Catholic League, and the project has been sanc tioned by the Pope. The center of the new organization is to be Rome, and it is to have a general fund, and to be directed by a committee at head-quar ters, with a complete administrative organization, with branches every - where. The declared object of this new body is a defense of their rights and freedom in view of the laws adop ted against the Church and the Pope, the re-establishment of the temporal power of which the Pope has been de prived hy force. The restoration of the rights of the Holy See, the organ ization and establish nient of a Catholic press in every considerable center, and the supporting of instruction from Rome. The calumnies of the opposi tion press arc to be met by legal pro ceedings. The I’ope, in a private cir cular, has expressed a hope that all Catholic associations will untie in this League, and the nobility and clergy are ordered to upite in battling for freedom and universal sway of the Church. The priests and bishops are urged to agree, all for one and one for all. The centers of the home organi- zationsareto he in telegraphic commu nication direct with the Vatican. This new scheme is causing extraordi nary excitement on the Continent, and may in some measure account for the i increasing friendliness of Italy and Germany. It is a fact that not one London journal has any information on this remarkable topic, but it is never theless a fact supposed to be founded on the best authority. Another Malelactor. i T. A.
