GRANT AND COLFAx CLUB.--A meeting of
this club was held last evening at Good Samari-
tan Hall, Mr.. w. II. Smith in the chair, and a
Committee on Resolutions, reported the follow
ing, which were adopted: Whereas statement
appeared in the STAR OF last evening to the
effect that George Hill, the present incumbent
appointed by Andrew johnson, has been Union
Republican since the early part Of the war; and
whereas the said statement is calculated to
deceive the Union men and Republicans Of this
city and District as well elsewhere, as will
appear by the following facts, constituting part
OF the record of the said Hill, to wit: He pre-
sided as one of the secretaries at the meeting
held 70 welcome johnson upon his return from
swinging around the circles" he contributed
one hundred dollars to the Conservative Club of
washington and twenty five dollars to the Con-
servatIve Club of Georgetown; he has publicly
announced that he does not owe his appointment
70 any Republican influence, and within six
months past has dismissed the only Republican
who held position in said post Office and an
pointed in his place his own son, an ayOwed
enemy to the Republican party; he has not Re-
publican employee in the office at this time. and
mas refused to give an appointment to enc of
that party; therefore, Resolved, That the Re-
pubiieans OF Georgetown unite in asking the re-
mOval OF George Hill from the office of post
master Of Georgetown, and that Col. j. B.
Adams, true and tried Republican, be ap-
pointed in his place.
m In view of the apparent strife between the
trustees OF the COlOred Schools, it was resolved
to call meeting of the citizens of Washington
city and Georgetown together, at some con-
velfent place at an early period, for the purpose
OF stating to them why this unhappy difference
exists among them and which hinders the pro-
gress OF the schools Of the District. Adjourned
The SCHUETzEN SOCIETY yesterday held an
informal gathering at Green Springs, where
prize shooting took place, the prizes being sew
eral fine turkeys. The successful contestants
were Charles Valkman, one of the oldest shots
IN the District, and his son, Harry Valkman OF
the Metropolitan Police force.

THE CONTESTED ELECTION CAsE.-The Ga
sette OF last evening says The testimony in the
case of Charles Whittlesey, cOntesting the righ,
of Hon. Lewis Mckenzie to his seat i'm the
House of Representatives, is continued before
Judge Hill who is taking down the evidence
Barney McCracken, a lieutenant in Captain
Triplets Irish Volunteers from this city, was
examined yesterday evening, but refused to an
swer many OF the questions put to him by Mr.
Mckenzie's counsel. He acknowledged to Cir
culating documents against Mr.. Nick, contain
ing charges of ineligibility, merely for the sake
Of defeating that gentleman's election. As to
his whereabouts and occupation during the war
he would give no answers. To-day Philip Mug
Ter, from Orange county, was examined, his
testimony going to show that he had circulated
Mr.. Whittlesey's pamphlet on MIR. Mckenzie
prior to the election. The crOss-examnatiOn
disclosed the fact that NJ. was deserter from
the Confederate army. X. ID. Beckley, cOlOred,
was also examined in reference to Mr.. Mcken-
zie's loyalty, which seems, SO far, to be unques-
toned by any OF the witnesses.
