POLICE PREPARATIONS.

sprc1AI OFFICERS TO LOOK AFTER THE COMING
cRowps-PAssAGE OF THE POLICE BILL BY THE
HOUSE OVER TIE VETO.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Fifty additional Capitol
poceinen are to be appointed by the Sergeants-at-
Arms of the two houses TO serve during the remain
der of the session and look after the crowds that
will throng the Capitol during the exciting time OF
the counting of the electoral votes. The need for
the services of this extra force, Senator Halin ex-
nlaped to-day, grows out of the disOrganization
and decentralization of the regular District police.
The suspension of Superintendent Richards and his
principal assistants and the other performances OF
Murtagh have, it seems thrown the whole force
INTO such a condition that II is almost worthless.
Murtagh is at last out of the way but the Police
Department will be practically without head until
the veto of the bill aboshing the board is acted
mon by the Senate. The House passed the bill over
the veto to-day by 1853 TO 7s, two more than the
necessary two-thlrds vote. 1t was almost strict
party division. Thieves and pickpockets are said
10 be ocking the city, in the hope of doing sue
cessful business among the crowds that will come to
witness the count and the inaugural ceremonies

It is eonjectured that the embarrassment at the
