fornia papers.
They know how to charge for papers on
lths Is.hmus. The Panama Herald, little
over half the size Of the Daily Gazette Is
two dimes per copy, which sum pays tor two
weeks to cur paper.
We do not notice any thins particularly
novel or interesting in this number OF the

balls and races. for which the people OF the
Isthmus seem to have decided liking.
The California Chronicle confirms the re.
por, that the native California population
residing in the county adjoining San Fran
cisco Bay are making preparations to leave
the country and emigrate in body to So
nora. They feel, it is said, that they can
not contend in the battle of life with the
American and foreign nations, and they give
up the struggle.
Most of the news contained in the Chron-
icle has heretofore been received by telc.
graph, but we copy the following account
of a terrible mistake committed in the al
m;nisira,ion OF Lynch law
Judge Lunch continues his terrible ad.
minis,ration Of what is called natural JUS
tice, in diferen, parts OF the State. During
this month at ieas, twenty persons have
suffered death by his orders. The inno-
cent, proved SO, as we'll as the guilty have
been among his victims. One case may
be mentioned. A man was hanged by the
mob at Red B .utfs, for having stolen mule
He protested his Innocence refused to con-
fess his name. and still was hanged by a
small body of Infatuated rutfians. After
death the body was buried. Some doubt
was afterwards felt that after all ntis!dss
had been made. The body was dsnterred,
and bill of sale for the very mule supposed
10 have been stolen, was found in his pos
session. Several other cases of the kind
it may be feared have happened. The
sense of the people in the cities and larger
towns il decidedly against this summary ex-
er ,i.c OF mob or brute law, and the supposed
actors i some of the more atroeions scenes
have occasionally been severely handled,
when they happen 10 visit the towns where
they were known or discovered"
Ia spite OF all the lynch operations, how.
ever, crimes of sl descriptions, against the
person and properly. continued lamentahly
common, and the Chronicle thinks that So
eie,y over greater part Of the State is in a
more Gemoralized state at tbs time than
even in ls4e and 1850.
