AN OUTRAGE.

BLAcKJACKED BY A POLICEMAN.
Last night = drunken tramp wandered
Into the HERALD office, attracted no doubt
by the light. While he was there two DO
licemen entered to affect his arrest. HeWas
not on the street and neither was he inter
fering with anyone, but notwithstanding this
they insisted upon arresting him. The man
being drunk, and not knowing who had him,
refused to 60 and kicked officer Stewart,
whereupon that officer drew . black Jack
and struck him over the shoulder, saying,
~ will break your skull" The poor fellow
sank to the ground, but Notwithstanding
this, and that the other officer held him
tightly, Stewart struck him violently over
the head with his black jack those standing
around hearing and 81 e ing the blow. The poor
tramp was then taken bleeding to the Sta
ton House, still resisting on the way over.

THE VIRGINIA CITY FIRE,
More Serious than Supposed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Particulars
from Virginia City are difficult to obtain,
but what have been 60 ten state that the fire
ismore serious than at first supposed. 1t
caused the widest excitement here and q
panic has prevailed causing decline of e
per cent. in current quotations. Many
papers are badly in;u!el and there
is great anxiety to hear from the
Ophir mine which was reported to-day as
still burning. Three fourths Of Virginia
city is certainly destroyed. The insurance
losses fall principally on California eompa-
MES. The tract of the FIRE was three quar-
ters OF a mile in length and one half mile in
breadth, and every place of business and
dwelling IN this district was completely
gutted out. The number of persons rem
eered homeless is estimated at fully four
thousand. Arrangements are being made

OUR NEIGHBOR CITT.
NEW CASTLE POLITICIAN ETERNAL DEM
OCRACY.

OCRACY.
CRY OF New CASTLE, Oct. 9th, rs.
Politically this city is largely Democratic
at no time since the war have the Repub]i-
cans been able to elect any officer for even
the lowest position; and in fact ever since
the dissolution of the old Whig party, lam
informed the Democracy has been in the az
cendant. Previous to and during part Of
the war, they controlled affairs, and elected
their ticket by fair majorities. Even the en-
franchising OF the colored people failing to
put them in the minority, hut on the con-
trary, seeming to SO disgust the white Re-
rrt,icans as to drive them from the ranks.
Thus it has always been, so that they could
never elect any ticket they made. They
have however contrived at times to get
some Of they party into power, aud have for
a number of years when tie time would
come around to choose town officers, invari-
ably tried the compromise dodge, that IL
induce the Democrats to form ticket with
gentlemen Of both parties on them. This
game has been successful sometimes, but
not often, and in fact 1t has always been
the hardest kind of work to induce the bone
and sinew of the Democrat party here to
vote for, even the mcst moderate and con-
servative Republican. Some years ago,
the Democrats thinking it best not
to bring politics into town
election where there were no issues,
and there being gentlemen of the Repubh-
can party here who would make good Town
Commissioners and would faithfully per-
form their duties as such, or in any other
Office, approached some of the leading Re-
publicans with view to forming a compro-
mise ticket. They were met in an appare mt
kindly spirit and, think, it was partly, if
not wholly, decided to form but one ticket,
but, when the election came off, a ticket
composed entirely Of Republicans with
flaming flag and the inscription of "No CON-
promise with traitors" was put in the field,
and every effort made to secure its election,
but, of course, without effect. This action
SO disguised the Democrats that they never
after attempted the compromise business.
although they have, at times, permitted the
name of one Republican to be placed on the
ticket. Last spring, however, the mixed
ticket was tried again, but again without
success, and am of the opinion that from
this out no Republican will ever hold even
the lowest office in this city. During the
warthe few Republicans that were here,wer
Of the most violent type and appeared little
less bloodthirsty than savages, and would,
am informed ,stoop to any thing that would
get their neighbors and former friends, who
happened to disagree with them in political
matters, into trouble, and it is a remarkable
fact, that, nowadays, these same prescribed
and hunted Democrats will even assist In
getting their former inveterate enemies into
Office. In other words, politically, New
Castle presents the unexpected spectacle Of
the lion and the lamb lying down together,
and the millennium not yet come.
