I sent for McMahon, the foreman, to give me the time; he gavo it to me and I paid Raglan. Then I wanted the balance of the time from McMahon, to pay the men, and then Raglan commenced on Mr. McMahon, calling him a Penitentia- tiary thief, and swearing ho would kill McMahon, or that McMahon should kill him. I told Iisglan I wanted him to leave; I wanted no, disturbance in tbo place; be kept on and would not leave. Then I told Mr. McMahon he had better go away till Raglan left; McMahon went away, and Raglan went right off after him. After Iiagluu hiul gone I sent fur Mq|Iahon to com?back again; ho came came back and gavo mo tbo balanoo of the timo of the men; I continued paying tho men; about twenty minutes after, I saw Mr. Raglan coming across from Peachtree street towards tho building, with a club in his hand. I judged it to bo three feet long and two or two and a half inches in diameter; Raglan came up to tho office where I wus paying, and ask- od "whore that d d son of a b .h McMahon, was?” ho wus going to kill him. Both me and Mr. Nichols (former witness) told him he was not in there. I told him-“for God's suko to go away, and not interfere with my business, I wanted to pay my men. ” Ho then came aronnd and camo and looked into the room to see if McMahon was there; he went out and went into tho basement of tho brick building and looked through that, I suppose; staid in a little while and camo out again, and asked tbo labor ing men (I heard him ask them) where “ that d d Penitentiary thief ” was ? lie would murder him. Raglan then went aronnd the front of the build ing; there ho got sight of McMahon. Tho first I saw of tho shooting, was when they camo around the building about twenty or thirty feet from us; Raglan was running after Me., saying: “You d d son of a b h,” and gained on Me. till bo got within about eight or ten feet; Me. told him to stop; Me. qpulled out bis pistol and snapped it at Raglan; Me. kept telling R. to stop; thou Mo. shot; Raglan continued to advance aud Me. shot again; Raglan fell then; he got up and advanced again towards Me; just then Deputy Marshal Johnson camo up on his horse; ho jnmpped off bis horse, left it in tho street, and arrested Me.; tho party all went off together; that is all I saw of it, until after Raglan had ono of tho balls extracted by tho attending physician, (Iu answer to the Court)—Raglan had been drinking some; I did not consider him drunk.

C., July 30. Eiutob Sun: The following is taken from the sicorn testimony of Needom L. Angier, Treasurer of the State of Georgia,given before the Ku Klux Investigation Committee Washington, July 1-ltb, 1871: Question.—Wlmt is your opinion us to the manner in which the laws are administered in the State of Geor- gia? Answer.—Well, sir, they liuve been violated. There lias been very little regard paid to law. I am now speak ing of our State laws. Question.—In what way have they been disregarded? Answer.—I speak with regard to the party in power there, and Tli« Acts of the Governor, As the records will show, there has been very little attention paid to law, At the elose of the war there was considerable old bonded indebtedness of Georgia; and ou the 18th of De comber. 18GG, this provision, passed by the Legislature, was approved: “That his Excellency, tbe Governor, be and is hereby authorized to execute said bonds, prepared ns aforesaid, to the amount of $090,000, and to issue the same upon such terms and in such man ner us he may deem best for tho interests of the fc>t.;-: in exchange for, or redernp tion of, said old bonds of tbe State falling due in 18G8,18G9, and 1870.” That was a provision for taking up tho old bond falling dne in 1808, 1809 and 1870. These Ho ml* XInvc Not Yet Keen Taken Up. About 8173,000 of these bonds are still outstanding. Tho reason is that the Governor in 18G8 sold $205,000 of these seven per cent- mortgage bonds, and he used the proceeds for other purposes than the redemption of the old bonds. Fifty-five thousand dol lars of the proceeds of thoso bonds lie gave II. I. Kimball to finish an Opera House called Klmbull's Opera Ileusc, in the city of Atlanta, although there was no appropriation for that purpose at all. The Governor went on and sold these bonds. He drew drafts in the first place in favor of Kimball for $35,000. Some of them were drawn in blank; they did not say to whom the money should be paid ; but Kim ball received tho money, to be applied to this Kimball’s Opera House, as it was called. When it was found that this $35,000 had been used in that way, the General Assembly called on me to make a report. I knew noth ing of the nmtter.JJTho Governor used this money and for mouths never reported to me as Treasurer. I got a report from the bank. Finding out the amount that had been used, Tike Legislature Appointed a Committee, to investigate the matter; and that cammittoc reported that this was done without any authority of law aud in violation of the expressed will of the General Assembly. As soon as the General Assembly adjourned Gover nor Bullock went immediately to New York and drew a draft for $20, 000 more on tho Fourth National Bank aud paid it to Kimball, not withstanding tho positive and em phatic action of the General Assem bly. The vote of the Legislature on the report that Wft3 adopted was one of censure and condemnation of his conduct. The Goueral Assembly passed an act authorizing the Governor to issue a certain number of bonds to pay off the members and other expenses of that body. The expenses of the Gen eral Assembly up to the timo they ad journed did not exceed $300,000- about $250,000 I think ; hut I will put them at $300,000. The Governor issued bonds under that act to the Amount of two Million* of Dollar*. lie had my name engraved upon them without any authority and sent them off to New York without reporting them to the treasury at all. lie un dertook to make it appear that lie had the right to use my name, when the law showed plainly that lie had no such right and that the bonds were illegal without my signature. On tho 30th of November last he wrote me a letter stating thut ho had ordered 9.100,000 of those Bonds to be sent' to the treasurer’s office, cancelled, from Clews & Co., New York, and that the balance would be along in a few days. That balance has never come yet. That makes a million and a half outstanding ! Then there was an act passed au thorizing The Governor to lune Gold bonds to meet the bonded indebted ness and other expenses of the State. The General Assembly at that timo had not determined to put off the time of meeting till November. They really did not need any bonds for the purposes of last year; hut for this year the meeting of the General As sembly havingbeen put off till No vember, I suppose that considering all tho expenses and extravagance that there bus been there, tho entire amount necessary might have been not exceeding $1,000,000 of bonds.— At furthercst not more than that was needed of these gold bonds. The Governor had F$nr Millions Dollars Worth of these bonds engraved. The revenue derived from poll tax, tho liquor tax, the tax on shows and other small special purposes, provided by law for school taxes, has been appro priated by the Governor to other pur poses until there is none of those hinds in the treasury. Another point in which the State administration has violated the law, is in the use of Stat* Railroad Find* * for other purposes than railroads. The law is that the funds of the Road shall be paid into the Treasury of the State at tho end of each month, except so much us may be necessary for the expenses of the Road. The Governor has paid oat large amounts directly from the re ceipts of the Road, without the money ever reaching tlie treasury; and it lias been paid for other than Railroad pnrposes. A short time ago he paid to a Committee that he se lected himself, without any authority of law, to go to Kentucky to try to influence the General Assembly there to grant a charter for a railroad from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, both places outside of the State of Geor gia—the road not touching Georgia at any point. To pay this Commit tee for which there was no appropria tion, and which was not authorized by law, the Governor drew his war rant for $2,729.. Here I* a Small Item. tlie paying of an inordinate sum for the limiting of the Constitution of the State, in pamphlet form. I have here a copy of the pamphlet I hav conversed with several printers as what would have been the reasonable expense of getting up that book, Some say ten cents some say fifteen and somo say twenty, at the latter jirioe ten thousand copies would cost $2,000. Most of them estimate the expense not higher than $1,500. The Governor drew his warrant for elev en THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOL LARS for the publication that little hook; and I paid it out of the (rtkasury. The next point is paying the inter est ou the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad bonds, to which the State granted aid. The law on this subject provides: “ In tlie event that any bond or bonds, so endorsed by the State as provided in the first section of this act, or tho inter est thereon, .shall not be paid by the said railroad company aj maturity, it shall be the duty of the Governor, upon informa tion thereof, to seize and take possession of the property of said railroad compa ny.” The act then goes on to provide that the earnings of tho railroad shall be applied to the extinguish ment of such unpaid bonds and in tere3t. The Governor pays no atten tion to that provision, but is Paying like Interest on Tlicac Bond*. Question—Does the law which you have just cited require the seizure and sale of the road in case of de fault ? Answer—Yes sir. Question—Without seizing or at tempting to sell the road, the Gover nor goes ou and pays tho interest ? Answer—Yes, sir. Ho has A Soil of Sub>Trcik*nry in New York; lie has another iu his office, and lie has sub-treasuries all around. I call them sub-treasuries; they ure un known to tlie law. The law provides emphatically that no money shall be paid ont of the treasury without an appropriation and a warrant, lie pays no more attention to that provi siou than if there were no law. He jets the money from New York, or 'rom the State Road, or wherever he can pick it up, from the sale of bonds, legally or otherwise. Another point is in regard to pay ing more clerks than the law author izes. It authorizes only one; he has live or six clerks in his office. ***** Question—Yon speak of money having been paid illegally to this man Kimball; state vflTb and what he is. Answer—He is a man who came to Atlanta I suppose between three and four years ago; that was the first I ever saw of Trim. I have no question on my mind that in the Opera House, and I judge so from this fact: When they were trying to nego tiate a lease with the citizens, Gover nor Bullock took me into his private room at tho National Hotel. He wanted to get my influence to pay $25,000 rent for the portion of the Opera House needed for State pur poses. I told him that it was An Outrageous Rent; That the city was not able to pay it, lie did not say positively that the State would pay it, hut intimated that he thought the thing could be arranged. We finally made the leaso for $0,000, when he wanted us to pay $25,000. Another circumstance, on which I formed my judgment, is that lie Paid $19,000 la Kimball without any appropriation, $20,000 of it being paid after the General As sembly had censured him severely.— These facts satisfy mo that he was interested in the concern. The build ing was finally sold for twice its cost. Question—Whore is tho residence of Kimball now ? Answer—He lives iu Atlanta. Question—Does he control some railroads ? Answer—It is reported that he has bought out Tlko Brunswick «!w Albany llallroat), 235 miles iu length. Conant or Clews, in New York, aro in somo way mixed up in the affair, I believe.” After giving some account of tho reported wealth of Kimball, his con nection with Bullock and others in urious railroad enterprises in the (State, and a history of the misman agement aud plundering of tho State Road by Bullock and Blodgett, the following question wus asked: What Has Become of That Money Karncd by the Road f Answer: Well, sir, that is the inquiry of the people generally; they believe it has been fraudulently used by the officers of the Road. Nearly every man who had anything to do with ft came there poor; Mr. Bullock for one, never paid a cent of tax in Georgia in bis life, unless be paid it this yeur. I have looked at the records myself, and up to lost year, when the investi gation of the committee was made, He had nffrer given in a cent of tax. Ho is now buying plantations and stocking them with fine English stock ; he has tho best of everything aud lives very fast Question.—What is his salary ? Answer.—$4,000 a year—not a third of his family expenses; I do not believe it ia one-sixth. He re marked to a person that It Waal* Nat F«*d 111* H*n< Urn Oats. Every one who has anything to do with that Rood came there apparent ly poor; aud now they are all build ing new honses and riding in fine carriages. * * ***** Question.—Has any effort been made to conceal the Cue state of the indebtedness and liabilities of the State of Georgia ? Answer.—Yes, sir, the law requires the Treasurer to make reports of all bonded indebtedness—the amount of interest and bonds falling due. The Treasurer is sworn to do this. This thing had been covered up so much in darkness by Governor Bullock, that I wrote to Mr. Clews, requesting him to givo me a statement of the bonds lie had received, the amount hypothecated, the amount sold, at what price, and what disposition had been made of the proceeds. My son presented the letter to Mr. Clews. Mr. Clew. Iinmrdlatcly Telegraph'll lo Ooveraor Bullock, stating what I wanted. Governor Bfillock telegraphed to Mr. Clews to answer no questions at all, and stated that if I wanted to know such things I could learn them at his office. I wrote him a letter asking for that information, hut I got no answer. The day I wrote the letter he was not there; but he got there before I left. I wrote a letter to his secretary re questing a statement in relation to the bonds of some of the railroads, I got no answer before I left, though the Governor had returned and was in his office. The secretary, when my son went up, said that he could not answer it, and that he. would refer it to Governor Bullock. It haa never been answered. Tho attempt is to keep all that matter concealed. Question.—Tho attempt of, the Governor and his friends who ought to give the information ? Answer.—Yes, sir. Question.—They have it and can give it you think ? Answer.—Yes, sir, certainly. I have here the statement of the party who engraved those bonds, showing that the-Governor hod four millions of gold bonds engraved—out and out State bonds! Further extracts from Treasurer Augiers testimony will be given in my next, when I also hope to furnish all the information Clews and Bul lock refused to give Angier. Argus.

SUti Fair Premium*. Tho contract for furniahing tho premi ums for tho forthcoming Fair of the Georgia State Agricultural Society has been awarded to Messrs. Sharp & Floyd, Jewelers, of this city. Mr. Sharp fur nished the premiums lost year; aud the fact that ho gave satisfaction is proven by the award being made to him a second time. It was the commonly expressed opinion but year that the premiums were as fine as were over distributed at any Fair. All were of the most superb work manship, aud reflected great credit upon tbe energy and taste of Mr. Sharp. This year tbe contract will be equally earned out, os Mr. Sharp will have the benefit of tho fine taste of Mr. Floyd. The pub lic may expect a fine display of premi ums.
