Judiciary Committee

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2O.-A dispatch from
Jefferson City states that Mr.. Jewett, from
the Judiciary Committee, to whom was re-
ierred a resolution ordering an inquiry as
to certain opinions alleged to have been
expressed by Judge Moody, of st. Louis
circuit, and his acts empanneling Jurors
without requiring them to take the oath of
loyalty, reported, under suspension of the
rules, that the committee are of opinion
that the case calls for action of the General
Assembly in the form of an address to re-
move said Judge from Office, and recon-
mend 4 Joint resolution that there is pro-
per cause Of removal, by an address, of
Judge Moody, on the ground that be has
violated the State constitution by his Of
fetal acts, and that he is an unsafe, insult
able and improper person to hold the of
flee of Judge Of the Circuit Court in st.
Louis. The resolution was read three
times and passed, under a further suspen-
sion of the rules.
Mr.. Waters, from the special committee
appointed TO inquire into the official
conduct Of Judge King, Of the fifth Judi
cial Circuit, reported that after a careful
consideration of the case, they are of opin-
ion that he has been guilty Of high mis-
demeanor in Office, and gross corruption,
and recommend the adoption Of a resolu-
ton BY the House impeaching said Judge
for misdemeanor in Office. He is charged,
among other things, of instructing the
grand jury to find no bills of Indictment
against Confederate soldiers of regular or
irregular service, for any crime committed
while engaged IN that service; for instruct
ing them to find no bill Of indictment
against persons who might be charged with
perjury in taking the oath of loyalty, and
for failing to instruct the grand jury in
reference to the riot which occurred at
Platte City in September.
A minority report was submitted stating
that much of the evidence, on which the
charges against Judge King are based, is
vague and indefinite and a resolution was
offered that there was no evidence before
the House sufficient to justify impeachment.
A motion to refer the whole matter to
the Judiciary Committee was lost.
A debate ensued on the postponement Of
the consideration Of the reports. pending
which the House took recess.

When one reflects upon the character
Of the men who are making laws for this
people, and filling the most responsible
trusts IN the nation, it calls to mind the
remark of Oxeustiern, the Prime Minister

reply to his son who had declined an
office from consciousness of incompetency
to til it. Said the statesman Nsscis,

Chief Justice Of the United States and the
Associate Justices of the Supreme Court
shall be allotted among the circuits exist
ing by order of the court, and whenever
new allotment shall be required or found
eXpedient, by reason Of alteration Of one or
more circuits, or of the new appointment Of
a Chief Justice or Associate Justice or
otherwise, it shall be the duty Of the court
to make the same, and if new allotment
shall become necessary at any other than
during the term, such allotment shall be
made by the Chief Justice, and shall be
binding until the next term, and until a
new allotment by the court.
