AND POLITICIANS.

Among the democratic statesmen prominent
in the present congress who have fair pros
poets Of adjoining the next body by their alb
sencc Is Barclay Henley, Of California. lie Is
running In the new first district, Thomas Ca
ruthcrs being his republican opponent. A
multiplicity of awkward charges are brought
against Henley, which he has n remarkably
uncomfortable time in explaining. II Is al
leCcd for instance, that he went to Mexico
during our civil war and sworo allegiance to
Maximiliau's tlnsel empire. Another ollcnse
peculiarly obnoxious to his constituents with
which he is charged is that of having fenced
in 1000 acres of the Round Valley reservation
and used II for years without having paid any
thing therefor, and with having made DUN
my" entries of 1000 acres In Round valley.
