THE WAY IT WAS DoNE.-The following is
the debate in the House giving three acres OF
valuable Government reservation to the Guar
dian Society: 49,
{" Mr.. Rice, frem the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds, reported bill grant,
ing certain privileges to the Guardian Society
Of The City Of Washington.
He explained that the bill granted the use OF
three acres OF land on which to erect buildings
for juvenile offenders.
Mr.. Morris was opposed to giving any of the
public grounds to be controlled by private cor.
porations. The reservations were for orna-
menting and Identifying the city. He was in
favor of house Of correction, and had re.
Gently urged the passage Of bill for that pur.
pose. The Committee for the District Of Col.
umbia, of which he was q member, had this
subject under consideration, the House having
referred it back to them.
Mr.. Rice said the bill the gentleman referred
to proposed large sum for house Of refuge,
while the one under consideration merely pro-
vided the granting Of piece of ground to the
SO ciety, for the erection of suitable buildings
by private enterprise, and the establishment Of
an institution for the prevention and punish
ment OF crime.
r The bill was passed.

INCREASE OF PAY WITH ERNGKANcR!-
For some time past the members Of the Metro.
poli an Police force have been endeavoring to
get an increase Of their pay, and were in hopes
the present Congress would grant thier request.
Their pay has been fifty dollars per month
forty dollars by the Government and ten by
the Corporation. The Senate Committee re-
Gently reported in the civil appropriation bill
amen ailments, a clause striking out the item of
$4,000 for the police, and inserted therefor an
appropriation of Sc, 600; increases certain sala.
ries 20 per cent, and requires Washington,
Georgetown, and the county to pay one-half
of the expenses.
The increase of the pay Of the Superinten-
dent is $500; the sergeants staid as they were
and the patrolmen are increased over the left,
instead Of getting fifty, as at present, they will
get but forty. eight dollars per month. The
patrolmen have called a meeting for next Tues
day night, to consider what course to pursue
under the circums tances. The sum given by
the Corporation was gratuity, and increased
the patro lman's pay to fifty dollars. The pat
rolmen hold that if this city is subject to the
payment Of twelve flfteenIhs of the expense, it
cannot, in justice to ITSELF continue the gratui.
ty, as the the sum required would overrun the
revenue.
Were members of Congress required to sup
port a family on forty eight dollars a month
they would be inclined to think themselves
very badly used, we imagine.

Few Thoughts Upon the Coming
Presidential Election.

Let Us anticipate first, chat will be the proba
BILE result of the re election of Mr.. LINCOLN, and
second, the election of the Chicago nominee
Mr.. LINCOLN is pledged to the preservation Of
the territorial integrity of the Union and the
abolition of slavery. Consider first what will
follow the success Of this programme. The war
will be actively prosecuted for at least one more
summers campaign. The public debt BY that
time cannot be less than S. 900 ,0000 The
loss of life will be at least 100 900 men. The
armies of the South will be disorganized, but
there will be hostile population of 5000. 700,
and an army OF 100. 600 men will be required as
national police force TO keep :hem in subsection
for an indefinite period of time There will be a
