GUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH.


The San Francisco Spirit ofhe Times has
unearthed a bit of testimony to the truth
of the assertion that Congressman Henley
is not citizen of the United States that
appears to be conclusive Under the rule
that man may not deny his own state
ments, and is bound by them, it is difficult
20 conceive how Mexican citizen Henley
can longer claim the rights of citizenship
in the United States, or consistently pre-
sent himself for a seat in Congress in De
cember next. According to the SPIRIT, on
Henley's return to California, in 1865,
suspicion was aroused concerning him, and
Provost Marshal John +. Mason, then
stationed at the Preside. San Francisco,
sent him Il communication, demanding to
know what his business and intentions
were. On the 9TH February, 1865, he re-
reived a reply from Henley, covering sew
eral closely-written pages. lie denied be-
ing sent here by . Duke" Gwin: saying
that their relations were simply those of
friendship. He said he was endeavoring to
secure 100000 acres of land in Mexico
for colonization purposes, and wished
TO secure cooperation in that particular
Towards the close he says am citi-
zen Of Mexico. presented an application
to Emperor Maximilian for naturaliza-
tion and the papers of naturalization were
furnished me fully in accordance with my
request, a record of which is On file in the
Office of the French CONSUL in this city,
and which can be easily procured He
then said; - am now settling up some
business here of a private nature, prepara-
tory to my return to Mexico" The Spirit
alleges that this letter was dated February
:, 1868, and that on February II, 1865,
General Mcdowell, then commanding this
division, forwarded it to Edwin N. Stanton,
Secretary of War, and that it now reposes
in the archives of the War Department at
Washington, where the curious may in
spect it.

THE heat in New York on the 10th inst
was intense. The thermometer climbed to
950, and men and women by the hundred
were Frustrated, and some died because of
the sitting atmosphere. Here in Sacra-
mento $50 of heat causes little or no dis
comfort. In New York the air is humid
the streets narrow, and the buildings high
The pavements and walls retain the helt
and give it off at night. The avenues thus
become hot air fiues, the moist atmosphere
surcharged with heat Expresses the lungs
and heats the blood, and as a consequence
the vitality of the people is fairly wilted
when the thermometer registers 950 in the
shade. Here the atmosphere is dry, and
not retentive of heat; our streets are broad,
our walls low, and our foliage abundant.
Up in the nineties it is hot, Of course, but
never that kind of heat that incapacitates
from labor or results in any physical pros
tration With the setting of the sun the
air and the earth COOL and at night that
equable temperature prevails which makes
the evenings in the valley glimpses of par
adise. Even in San Francisco the degree
of heat that Expresses the people living in
that humid atmosphere makes the day
here delightful. A great deal of popular
error exists regarding summer heat in this
valley; the truth is, it is not nearly so
great as is popularity supposed, and hot
weather is here more endurable than upon
either the Atlantic or Pacific sea shores.

II must be the rule of the law in Ohio,
since the Supreme Court has so declared
it, but it puzzles the layman greatly to see
into the heart of the proposition, that a
State can rightfully retain that which she
wrongfully takes from the citizen. The
Scott law taxed the liquor business in
OHIO. The Supreme Court declared the
law unconstitutional by the way,
it was Bench of Democratic Judges.
Those who had paid in their taxes under
this unconstitutional law sued to recover
them. The same Court now decides that
the money cannot be refunded, because it
was collected prior to the mconstitution-
ality of the Act being declared by the
Court. In other words, the State wrong
fully collected from liquor dealers given
sum of money, but because she has posses
sion, and because when the money was
collected it was not known that the law
under which the tax was laid was uncon-
stitutional, and therefore void from the
beginning. the State must not pay back
the money to those from whom it was I'M
constitutionally taken. If the Act was
no Act" and had no legal life from the
outset, what change can the fact that a
Court had not yet announced the uncon-
stitutionality of the Act work upon the
right of the payer to have the money I'M
lawfully taken from him returned

to the tastes of the people of Los Angeles,
they must be an excessively prudish lot.
1t adds:
So far as the picture under discussion is con-
cerned, it is probable that not to exceed a dozen
persons in Los Angeles expressed any opinion
about il one way or another until it was taken
down. Two or three people objected to it, in
the same way that objections are made TO every
sort of exhibition or enterprise, and the com
mittee in charge thought they had made a mis-
take in hanging it, and quietly took it down
The act precipitated the discussion. but in no
way indicated what any large portion of the
community thought about the prOpriety of the
picture, We believe that g contemporary did
advance the theory that no picture ofthe human
form should be exhibited to the public until it
was five hundred years old. This, however
indicates an extreme refinement OF taste which

TIE trial of young Spreckels affords
Mr.. McAllister, for the defense, an oppor-
tunity to criticise personal journalism"
and he avails of it with vigor Nothing
he can say in condemnation of the sensa-
tionalism of the press and its impertinent
prying into private affairs, will be too bit
ter. He contrasts the value OF human life
with that of character, and the respect
shown it by the sensational press, in fitting
terms 1t did not need that he should
point out, however, how worthless is life
without character, and how very little
concern personal journalism takes upon
itself in blackening reputation, The
American reading public has, by bitter
experience, learned that to that kind OF
journalism character stabbing is chief
occupation.

WHEN the press two years ago, took
the position that the claim of suzeraintv
over the kingdom of Anam made by China
was but shadow, and of right should not
exist, there were those who conbatted the
statement, and held that France, in re-
fusing recognition Of claim that had ex-
listed 50 long that the memory of man ran
not to the contrary, had taken wrong po-
-sition, and deserved aud must suffer de
feat. 1t is true that Anam had paid trib-
ute to China for long series of years, but
it was under the coercion of the strong
arm. The claim Of the empire never was
founded in right. The French, in treat
ing with the Anamese, held them to be an
independent power, and refused to give
countenance to the claim of China. The
sequel has come about earlier than was
believed. China and France have cove
nanted together, and tic former, without
a protest, yields up her mythical suze-
rainty. She comedies the petition of
France, and there is an end forever OF
that matter. BY the new treaty, rights OF
commerce and trade are accorded to the
French which are not now enjoyed by cit
liens of the United States, but they viii
be extended to US under a supplemental
treaty, and which it is probable will be
negotiated so soon as the French Cham
bers confirm the compact recently made,
and under which France gains important
privileges, and fastens her hold upon Ten

The Napa Reporter, confirmed Demo
crat, says that the most important question
that is before the people of California to-
day is the Chinese question, and then it
proceeds to point out how the California
sentiment has been betrayed by prominent
gentlemen of this State True, and it will
not be lost sight of that these gentlemen
are both Democrats, and that one of them
has been especially prominent as the
leader of a section of the Democracy
which claims to be the only true and
article. Whatever the Repub-
licans accomplished in the matter of re-
striction the Democracy has recently been
instrumental in rendering ineffective.
