The Court was opened yesterday morn

When the ease was called, CoL Bleckley
and Gen. Gnrtrel! both announced that
they had cases before the United States

posed with tho assent of the Coart to ad

Sworn to and aubacrlbed before me tho 39th Sept.

CoL Farrow, after readiug the affida
vit, remarked to the conrt, thatthero was
here an ordir for his arrest, hoing charg
ed with being a common cheat and swin
dler; that Charles F. Medulla had sworn
to a lie, which he would prove during tbe
day 1
He then said to tho Sheriff, “I am
yonr prisoner;” nnd then asked the Oourt
to excuse him for not, in his official ca
pacity as Attorney General, prosecuting
himself.
At this point, at the instance of Maj.
Hargrove, the Conrt issued subpmniB aud
sent for nuverp 1 witnesses. While wait
ing for them, there was considerable pri
vate consultation between Gen. G&rtrell
and Gapt Blodgett, in which Col. Far
row participated.
Muj. Hargrove rose and made a calm
and dispassionate address to the Court,
stating that he approached the work of
conducting these prosecutions without
any prejudice or imeeliug towards any
one, but from solemn convictions of duty,
and uunouncod himself ready for the in
vestigation.
Capt John Milledge announced that ho
had been employed by CoL Farrow to as
sist him in the pronecntion of allenfei
connected with State Road investigations.
He knew nothing of the facts—the evi
dence—against Col. F., lmt thought the
clmrgoA not well founded; but if ho is
guilty, let him fall and be the first one to
fall; that being thus employed ho would
stand by tbe prosecution aud assist Maj.
Hargrove all in his power till be should
fall or the cloud had passed.
Gen. Gartrell then announced himself
as attorney for Col. F., and stated that
he was ready to prooeed with tho ease.
Maj. Hargrove proposed to postpone
the ease till 2 o’clock, on account of the
difficulty of procuring witnesses immedi
ately.
Col. Farrow said: No, sir! No, sir! to
which Maj. H. replied he was ready to
wait thero till the setting of the sen, and
the rising thereof also, if necessary.
I. P. Harris and C. P. McCaila were
then sworn as witnesses on the part of
the prosecution.
Mr. Harris took the stand. Mr. Har
grove handed him some pai>er8, purport-
pig to cover a claim of Col. Farrow
aguinst tho W. & A. R. R., for services
from 1st January to 1st July. 1871. He
then testified Umt he hod seen the paper.
It was presented to him by Col. F. for
payment about the last of July or 1st of
August; told him I was not paying out
any money then. Col. F. sai^l he had
understood several thousand dollars
would be paid into the State Road Treas
ury in a few days, and would leayo tbe
claim with mo till the money was roceivod
and tho claim paid. This paper wns re
turned to Ma. ltawsou, one of the Com
mittee having charge of the State Road
Books.
Ooss-Kxamiued.-f-Col. Farrow wrote a
note asking me to hand tho papers to
Mr. ltawsou, which I did.
When Col. F. called on me I stated to
him that I understood McCaila making
payments. Afterwards he told me that
he*had received 8700.
lie-Direct—I told Col. F. that I was
not paying money; that I did not want
to exhaust tho Treasury; but that if I
received tho two or three thousand dol
lar*, I would pur him.
Question. Would you lotto ptid the
bill in its present form ?
Answer. I would not lisye paid the bill
if I hsd olwcrved tho diserepanoios of
date wliieh 1 now peroeive. I wonld
rather have had the indorsement of the
Governor.
Msj. McCalls took tho stand. CoL
JUadcott, in Jniy, told me that CoL Far
row had a draft of 81,800, and requested
mo to pay it. I did not then have
tho amount; liut the day after
I paid him 3700, taking a receipt. In
August he osmo again, and I paid him
$300, taking his receipt, in which I was
particular to Bteta that it was part pay
ment for a draft of 81,800.
Here the papora which CoL Farrow had
left with LP. Harris for payment, and
which were subacqucntly handed to Mr.
Knwaon, were shown to him.
Question. Did yon see this paper be
fore tbe books and iwpeni were turned
over to tbo Committee r
A. I did not.
Q. Would you have advaucud the mon
ey on that account if H hnd boon sub
mitted in its proeenliaxm ?
A. I would not.
Mcfertlsj. IlcO.ntetqd Ihnt-whon he
paid tkt 87U0 and the 1900 to CoL F. to
did not know that a regular ocoonnt for
the samo had been android nail s pare 1
bill given for it; but that Col. Blodgett
represented to McCalls that it wea s
dru/l, and CoL Farrow bad signed e re
ceipt designating on its face thtt tho
payment was on n draft or wdrTant from
tbc Governor. He said ho auuhl not ex
plain tho discrepancy of dates on the
passed bill, and. had never seel the paper
until reoently.
Cross-examined.—I paid Other bills to
other parties — don't know In what
amounts. I authorized the publication
of my late statement in The Dailt Sex.
L 1*. Harris re called, and asked if he
mould tovepaid the money on the nursed
bill in its present form, to wliieh no an
swered ho would not.
It hub admitted hy tlw defense that
this passed bill hsd never been before the
Auditing Board ; and by the prosecution
that tbe receipts taken by McCalls hod
never been before that Board.
E. E. ltawson, Judge Hammock and
Foster Blodgett were then qualified bv
the defense. Mr. Rawson state'!, in ref
erence to the passed bill, that CoL Far
row had given him a note for L P. Harris
to turn over his claim for 31,800 to
the Committee; that he hnd received it,
aud it had been in the safe ever since ;
thut be was present at tho consultation
between CoL Farrow, Mr. Hill, Maj. Har
grove and others ; that some differences
of opinion sprung up.
Msj. Hargrove : About the manner in
which the papers got into the aafe ?
Answer. Yes, sir.
Msj, Hammock confirmed Mr. Hif'
son’s testimony.
Foster BlodgeUtesliliod to signature of
the Governor's initial “V to the ac

not specify eny case, but knew they were
numerous. It was his (witness's) duty
to sign warrants without reference to tbe
bill, but be would not have signed this
one had he observed tbe {discrejiaocy in
dotes.
(Court adjourned till 2 o'clock.)
In the afternoon session no other
evidence woe introduced than the
oontract between Ool. Farrow and
Superintendent Hulbert, wherein for
the consideration of 8300 per month.
Col. Farrow was to act as attorney for tbo
State Road daring the administration of
Bullock; and a private letter from Col.
Farrow to Maj. Hargrove iu referenoe to
his (Col. F.'s) duties as attorney for tlio
State Road, wherein ho stated that his
position as Attorney General did not re
strict him from accepting esses from
other parties, tbo Western and Atlantio
Railroad not excepted. Both papers
were admitted in evidence. The case
wss then argued by the attorneys, Gen.
Gartrell leading. After finishing, he re
tired to meet a business engagement,
when Maj. Hargrove arose, and in
behalf of the prosecution, the deceivod
public and the defrauded State, made
a manful, patriotic, Bcathing address, de
nouncing those who, with a semblance of
authority had, like thirsting vampires,
fastened themselves upon the very vitalB
of the State, extorted from the down
trodden, taxed people, tho hard-won
earnings of their industry. It was an
effort abounding in burning irony and
invective, and privately, was highly com
mended by many present
Here tbe prosecution was closed, and
after the Court announced its intention
to deliver its written opinion this morn-
ning at 9 o’clock, Msj. Hargrovo arose
and reminded tho Court that it onght to
demand the retraction of tbe insult of
fered the proeecutor by the pris
oner this morning, or fine him for
contempt of Court. CoL Farrow
then arose and stated thut in respect to
the Court he had withdrawn his assertion
already, not that ho was mittaken in the
statement, far he was ready to repeat it at
imy time, but merely in deference to the
Court
Tho Court then adjourned, when Maj.
McCaila instantly advanced towards Col.
F., with his cane in s threatening atti
tude, saving: Col. Farrow you hsve de
nounced me as having sworn to a false
hood, you sou of a b—h, or words to that
effect, and struck him several times,
breaking the cano and drawing blood
from his hand at one of the strokes!—
CoL Farrow drew his pistol, but did not
fire or even present it, either being de
terred by the bystanders, or having
drawn it only to bo used in Belf-defence
as a lost resort in an extremity. The
spectators interfered and McCaila was
carried away, while CoL Farrow, with
some friends, remained in the court room.
We heard a number of persons com
mending McCaila for thus resenting an
insult and vindicating bimself at tho
proper time; and eveiy one whom we
heard allude to tbe matter, condemned
Ool. Farrow for allowing his temper to
get tho better of bis judgment, und for
uttering so gross and bo uncalled for an
insult to Maj. McCalls.

The Fire Last Night.
At about fifteen minutes past nine
o'clock last night the store occupied by
George Deuo, on Peachtree Street, op
posite tho First Methodist Church, was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm was
immediately given, bat before tho en
gines could get to play upon it, the flames
had so far enveloped the roof, as to render
useless all efforts to save it The roof
was of shingles, and very dry.
The slock of goods on hand was con
siderable, and consisted of an assortment
of family supplies and groceries, all of
which wero either consumed .or badly
damogod.
The building was owned by CoL C. B.
Welborn, and insured. We did not learn
tho amount of insurance on tho goods.
Tho origin of the fire is a mystery.—
An old negro woman who lives on the
adjoining lot says a lamp exploded, caus
ing tbo fire. But the young man who
clerks there says they did not use
lamps, and that he had just about fifteen
minutes before the alarm was giveu clos-
the store, and walked down to tho circus.
8everal other rumors were afloat after
the fire was over, os to i^s origin, but we
will not give them here. The adjoining
buildings were with great difficulty saved.
We heard that a fine horse which was
stabled in the cellar, or near tho bulid
ing, was burnt to death*
A. Negro Killed.
Night before last a negro was nin over
ami killed just below AUoodo on tbe
State Boad. His mutilated remains were
not discovered until daylight, when the
next passenger train took thorn to Altoona.
He was so badly mutilated that he could
not be identified. Tho train dragged his
body,three hundred yards.

Editors Sun: The clause in tlie pa!
lisbed regulations in our premium list
relative to entries reads, “ For articles
completing for premiums each $2 00.”
The public will please notice that the
following is the proper construction of
the above clause:
In either deportment $2 00 pays for os
many entries as the exhibitor may wish
to make. But 82 00 entitles the exhibi
tor to compete for premiums in one de
partment only.
To illustrate: Any ono payiDg to ex
hibit in tho department of live stock
would pay 82 00 additional to enter an
article for a premium in the department
of Manufactured articles. Very respect
