tion asking the «Senate to keep that

now at Portland in charge of the U. S
Marshal. 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. Waters
knew all about it ; so di«l John Kelly,
D<»l|«h and th«» whole set. 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.

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.

situation, and now the “bloody shirt”

Hayes has effectually buried that en­

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

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.
