inJuirins tine cause. We learned that u
letter had been received from Virginia
CITY. denouncing the course of the San
Francisco Chronicle. in publishing artl-
clas against the gamblers and their bust
ness in the State of Nevala. and irving
to SIIelch them, the same as II did IN
that city. Those who are the most M
tercs,e,i look upon i as Il biacktnaihng
business, and have met the lss;ie be-
tween them and the ftT0Hie'e in a shape
t.at will prove etfactual. As soon us the
news had reached Virginia City that the
paper WAS about To commence war on

them to stop the paper The first day

We don't lnow whether the sports a-e
wise in taking this course to diminish the.
circulation and thus damage the irIl''-
ence Of the Chroaic'e, hat they axe, at
least, doing very natural thing by pur
suing this course. Toe gulf which lies
between a professional gamblers moral
l.y ard that of the Chronicle reopie Is
not very wide-itl,hou3h the superiority
IN kind is probably on the side of the
sp )rt md when such 4 persistent pur-
keeps up comes to be guased by the mo
raj test, it looks like a mean and merce-
nary persecution. II Is like Satan It
buking sin. So long as the Chronicle
sticks to It's legitimate f.3e OF neTTs-nor-
ger nobody has any cause Of hostility
against il; but when it turns Inform
and sets itself up As a detective ana,
what 5 worse, takes TO preaching iHoral

respects superior IT, its Own social status.
It is pretty near time IL. sporting patrons
shoail withdraw ;Ae;c support, and IN
luce their friends a,l,! associates to feI-

instinct that The aroair'e holds pretty
much TIE same relation to respectable
