THE ELECTION OF Town OPFICERs.-The
annual election Of town officers by o joint con-
vention Of the city Councils, comes of this
evening, and is absorbing great attention, par
ticularly among those who expect to draw q
lucky number. The first caucus Of the Demo-
nations was held about two weeks since, but
the nominations then were not fully completed,
and one that was then made (Henry Hurdle for
Market MASTERY caused such opposition on the
part Of the dealers In the market that the nOm-
nation was fatally reconsidersd at q subsequent
reticent as to what then transpired that the
result Of their action could not be definitely as
certained. However, we have procured q
complete and authentic list Of the caucus
nominees of the Democratic party for all
the Offices, and who will be elected (if they hve)
Tonight, as ten Councilmen have pledged their
honor to that effect. Colonel j. McH. Hol-
for the Collectorship of Taxes; but on the de-
cisive ballot the vote stood: Simms. 8; HOllings-
worth, 4. One member got "riley," and OBJ
iected to Hollingsworth because he was an aris-
tocrat, from the fact that he lived on the
Heights. Another objected to him on the ground
that he put on his uniform for the Union in 1851.
All conceded that Mac was the right man in the
right place, but they couldn't agree that he was
the man for the Collectorship. Then again the
Messengership To the Mayor and two Boards
caused ''red-hot time" 50 much 80 that II
wasn't settled until n few days ago. The old
incumbent, Isaac Birch, was nominated at
the. first caucus; but it, was deemed ex-
OF the fact that the selection would be tlistaste-
ful 10 the Collector OF Customs. by whose cour-
tesy tho Connell's occupy the building, which
belongs to the Government. twas thought at
once that John Ferguson. who now holds the
Pace, would do, and he was strongly urged BY

CITY ITEMS,

THE NOVELTIES in jet jevery are exceedingly
beautiful. Every day brings out q new style in
sets and lockets, in bracelets and coronets with
medallion beads and dropping sprays and pend
ants. Every taste, from the gayest to the plain
est, can be gratified at Mr.. Priggs celebrated
tewelry store, &36 Pennsylvania avenue, between
~ and 9th streets. The rage for jet Is only
equaled by the great demand for Alaska dia-
monds. Our wealthiest and most aristocratic
las'ies wear them even in preference to their
real gems. The imitation n perfect, the bril-
liancy and luster very fine, and the new designs
for setting extremely elegant. The Alaska dia-
monds range i'm value from one TO atty dollars q
set. The gold settings are prepared by a regu-
lar diamond setter, and the oroide itself, in the
cheaper sets, is very and not liable TO
tarnish. Mr.. Prigg has also q choice collection
of these stones intended for resetting. Among
the holiday goods we notice a magnificent lot OF
French vases, filed with quicksilver, relieved
with blue white, and crimson bands, and deco
rated with handsome medallion beads; no more
handsome mantel ornaments need be desired.
1t Is impossible To enumerate the almost endless
variety of beautiful articles to he found at this
emporium. In addition to over one thousand
styles of dollar jewelry, the silveI-plated ware
and other departments deserve the considera-
ton of purchasers, as the same class of articles
cannot be obtained at equally moderate prices
at any other store i'm Washington.

THE CONTESTED ELECTION CAsE-The taking
OF testimony in the contested election case was
continued, and the evidence of w. ID. wallach
concluded Friday evening. The Gazette reports
his evidence follows: ale did not know thai
the Treasury note bill was passed by the Legis-

after the passage of the ordinance of secession
the militia OF the State were armed, which
could not have been legally done without such

being Informed thereof, Immediately abandoned
such intention, and thereupOn he supported
