WORKING COUNTY PRIsONERs.-
Convicted prisoners in the County
Jail, at Virginia City, will hereafter be
required to work upon the streets.
They will be allowed two days off the
time of their sentence for every day
they work. Some of the streets i'm this
town afford an ample field for the
utilization of our county pets, and we
suggest that the same plan be adopted
here.

A DiaJOhcal Outrage at Bcrlin.-On Friday
week Jenkins Shovel, villainous looking
negro, outraged the persons of Mrs. Thomas
ladder, respectable white lady, and an
0ld negro woman, all living near Berlin.
The scoundrel first pursued the colored
woman as she was passing along the road,
ana after threatening to beat her with
club If she resisted, dragged her into the
WOODS and there accomplished his purpose
after having taken from her what little
money she had about her. He then left
her and proceeded to the house of Thomas
ladder, where, after demanding of Mrs.
iladder what money she had, produced a
knife and threatened to cut her throat If
She made any alarm. Terrified almost
beyond measure, shewas powerless to resist.
and likewise became a victim to his lustfui
passions. On the oath of the parties above
named Shovel was arrested and promntIv
committed to the lookup at Berlin. The
most intense Indignation was felt throurh.
out the ncighborhOod when the crime he.
came known, and it was with great diff
culty that he was prevented from being
iyhched, the colOred people especially being
eager to hang him.

The New York HERALD on THE SPEAKER
sHIP.-The election Of Mr.. Kerr places in
the Speakers chair gentleman of char
acter, who will no doubt perform the duties
of that office with dignity and fairness. The
clements which elected him, however. are
not calculated to strengthen the party

beginning Mr. Kerr has been supported by
the Bourbons Of the democracy. lie rep
resents that element which has Iaborcd
since the beginning Of the war to return
the democratic party to the position it
occupied under Buchanan. His success as
speaker Is virtually repetition Of the
policy which made Cockrcil Senator from
Missouri, Wallace from PENNSYLVANIA and
Eaton from Connecticut. 1t shows that
the leaders of the democratic party have
learned nothing from the results of the
war They are as stifi-necked in acccpting

to be one of the grandest rascals that ever
lived, was allowed to enjoy virtually his
liberty, though he had a cell in prison.
lie would ride and dine out, accompanied
by Jail warden, and receive visitors; and
all that, while men in the same prison in
which he was nominally kept, who had
only stolen few dollars, maybe through
sheer want, were all the time kept in the
closest confinement, never seeing a friend
or the sun light, nor receiving the slightest
favor from the jailor or the law. Tweed
paid roundly for his favors and his escape
out OF the millions he had stolen: the
others had not stolen enough to enable
them to do this, so they are getting their
deserts. Yet we go on Dragging about our
