| Police Orders.
| The Superintendent of Police has issued
/ tn off of J.,
| the effect that the municipal election in
| Georgetown will take place on Monday and
| therefore it becomes their duty to exercise
| unusual vigilance and activity on that day, as
| many of the newly enfranchised colored citi-
| zens, against whom there is much prejudice,
will for the first time exercise their new right.
The Superintendent states that no effort
| will be spared on his part to make the cleo
| ton pass off without disorder, and instructs
| all officers who may not be perfectly willing
| to exercise their legitimate authority, without
| prejudice, to resign their positions at once.
| Manifestations of disaffection by the police
| officers will tend to create a distrust in the
! community, and perhaps violent demonstra-
tons on the part of the already disaffected.
The Bounty Bill.
| A number of Western soldiers and sailors
| at a meeting held last night, passed resolu-
! tions urging upon the Senate to press the
| Schenck Bounty bill on its passage, and ap-
| pointed a Committee to call on the Senators in
| furtherance of their views.
The surratt Case.
| Miss Annie Surratt visited the jail yester-
| day afternoon, and had an interview with her
| brother, in presence of one of the counsel of
! the accused and one Of the jail guards, lasting
| over AN hour. They conversed principally on
personal matters and no allusion whatever
was made to the sad and exciting events of the
| spring OF 1868.
| The Judiciary Committee did not visit Sur
| ratt to-day, as had been proposed. His counsel
have advised him not to answer any questions.
Shipping Drawback.
| A Committee of the Boston Board of Trade
| and delegation of the Maine ship-builders
were before the Ways and Means Committee
this morning, urging drawback ON shipping.
The GreOnBack BAH.
The Senate Finance Committee will not take
up the hundred million greenbacks bill before
| tomorrow. They will undoubtedly report
| against it. A great effort is being made by
| the infatonists to carry it through the Senate
against the report of the Committee.
The ReconstRuctIOn Bill.
The most earnest supporters OF the Recon-
struction bill, now in the hands of the Presi-
dent. have ascertained that, although he will
veto the bill he will on Monday or Tuesday
next return it to the House of Representatives,
in which it originated thus attording an OPP
portunity for Congress to take further action
upon the measure -,
The Democrats will not flibuSter on the
Reconstruction bill. When ii comes back
with the veto, an attempt is to be made to
carry the Senate tariff bill in a lump through
