A Washington letter in the Baltimore
Sun contains the following paragraphs:
at is worthy of note that in the United
States there are 100000 Roman Catho-
lies, whilst in the senate and house of repre-
sentatiyes there is but one member each who
makes profession of that faith. In The
the cabinet, the Supreme Court of the Uni

is not a single foreign born citizen"

CoRREcTIoN.-The attempt to rob an
Oroville miner, which we published yester.
day, from the True Californian, we are as
sured by Mr.. Myers, is a fabrication-at
least large portion of it, The man Hostley
run away from Oroville without making any
arrangements for the payment of Mr.. N.Y.
ers, also leaving other detts unpsid. Mr..
King, a blacksmith. to whom he owed O bill.
happened to be in San Francisco before the
sailing of the steamer. and compelled Hos
tley to pay his bill. und pay h i'm for his
trouble in coming after it. The account
which Mr.. Myers has against Hostley, is a
total loss. After Mr.. King had compelled
Hostley to pay his account, it is presumed
that Hostley invented the yarn which ap-
peared in the True Californian, and which
was copied by us on yesterday. 1t was not
so much of an attempt to rob an honest
miner, as it at first appeared to be, but
rather an attempt of dishonest person TO
leave the country without paying his just
debts. lie refused to pay Mr.. King, until
he became fearful that he would be arrested
and detained until after the sailing of the
steamer. These facts are vouched by Messrs
Myers and King, and in justice to them, We
make the correction.

A BRIrIsH SUBJECT IN LIMBo.--A tele
graphic despatch in the Marysville Express
of yesterday, states that Hetherington, the
person who murdered DR.. Randall, is a Bri-
tish subject, and demands trial by legal
tribunal. 1t is not state1 whether he has
applied to the British government for pro-
lection but it is probable that he will do go.
Should he do So and should the British Con-
sui interest himself in his behalf, we shall
wait with much anxiety to see whether the
Vigilance Committee will pay more respect
to the British flag than they have to the flag
Of our own country.
From the published reports of the case,
there is no doubt but what Hetherington
deserves hanging; but will the Mercantile
mob of San Francisco, hang him without
even the forms of law, if the British govern
ment protest, and demand that he be tried
according to the laws of our country If
Hetherington is British subject, and claims
the protection of the British government,
it will most certainly be given to secure him
legal trial, or the U. S. government will
be held responsible for the action of the Mob
at San Franaisco. If the British govern
ment permits her subjects to be murdered
by San Francisco mob, and does not hold
the U. S. government responsible, then the
British government would merit the con.
tempt of the whole civilized world
1t is true, if a British subject violates
the law of our country. he should suffer the
penalty which the law inficts. But it is q
weak, imbecile and contemplate govern
ment that would permit its subjects to be
murdered by mobs in foreign government,
and not exact the sternest reparation. If
the U. 8. government are willing to wink at
mobs in San Francisco, and see our own citi-
zens hung up without regard to law, it is no
reason to suppose that other governments
will do so, or permit their subjects to be
hung without holding our government re-
sponsible. 1t is impossible for the Vigilance
Committee to remain in organization, and
not come in contact with the Federal au-
thorities. Do the mobites not see where
they are drifting
With oil their boasted purity, virtue and
stern justice, We venture the prediction that
the mob will not hang Hetherington, under
the protest of the British Consul A fare
up with England would affect the CONNER
cal interests of the country. and that would
strike at the pockets of the mercantile mob
in San Francisco. They had much better
turn him over to the authorities, and dis
charge their duty as good citizens, and hang
him in accordance with law. Any other
course will, we predict, soon wind up the
bobbing of the Vigilance Committee, un.
less indeed the British government ore con-
tent to see their subjects hung up without
regard to law, as the Committee seem to
think of our own government.

RoNDo & CvLo.-This firm have lately es.
tablished themselves in one or more places
in town, and appear to be doing very brisk
business. Each evening are We enlived by
the cries Of the Banker and the excited
crowd around the Banking table.
1t seems impossible to build up town in
California, without having it pass through
all the different grades of society. Were it
in the earlier times of the country, there
might be some reasonable excuse for tolera-
ting such swindling, gaming establishments.
Society was then in disorganized state.
gold was more easily obtained than at pres
ent, and excitement and amusement were
sought for. Now, when we have society,
and oil the comforts and endearments of
home around us why should such things be
encouraged and patronized in our midst
Why should the gambling table be found in
every mining locality where the miner is
enabled to make wages Do not those who
nightly throng around Rondo s. Culo's ta-
bles understand the principle of the game ?
Do they not know that the per centage taken
by the banker, will soon eat up the princi-
pie of those who invest in the game? Let
the crowd who surround one of these tables
commence with specified amount of money,
and see how long it will take the banker to
appropriate the whole Of it with his per
centage. They will then be able to see that
they are playing losing game.
The law, seeing the untold evils and the
amount of crime that sprung from the gam
bling dens in our State, has wisely provided
against many of its more odious features.
Why the law permits ROndo s. Culo to do
business, and exclude other branches of the
same business, we know not, unless for the
purpose of creatinga monopoly in favor Of
Rondo s. Culo. That the law cannot reach
game, is evident, or the authorities, VIII ose
duty it is to see the provisions Of the law
complied with, would undoubtedly close up
their shops. There is another way to stop
t, however: Let everybody keep away from
it, and after few hops from the Banker,
the institution will die, like sucker out Of
water.
Gamblers may reform, and become good
and respected citizens, instead Of encourag-
ing others to become disciples of thei- dis
honorable calling. When mining towns are
springing up in our State, let them locate
claim, instead of opening a gambling den,
and they will experience the consciousness
of having contributed something towards
developing the resources of the country.
