JUDICIAL lNFAMY.-There is no greater

Judge Watts, after public association with
felons on the State docket. closed Wake
Court with an act of Judicial atrocity
worthy of Jeffreys OF old. That Watts is
corrupt Judge is proven by the evidence
TO be found in the Bragg Phillips Com
mittet. He has acknowledged that five
thousand dollars was offered to him III the
Railroad Injunction case; and that Is Just
the amount traced to his poch cts before
the Committee.
Two respectable young men-Ctey and
Holleman, living twenty miles from this
city, were arrested on bench warrant
issued by Judge Watts, on Thursday they
were brought to the Court House about
two o'clock yesterday the Judge being on
the Bench. Without hearing the cause,
the officers committed the young men to
felon's Jail by order of the Judge without
giving them hearing
They remained in Jail until clock,
when their Attorney Mr.. Fab. II. Busbee,
moved to have them brought into Court.
The Judge denied that he had put them
there, 10y saying the officer had not re
turned the papers before him. This IS an

Court of Appeals of new York-Before a
Full Bench Confederate MOney-Efect
of the RebeIIiOn-Important 20 Life In
surnnce Companies.
An important opinion has just been de-
Iivered in the Court Of Appeals of the
State of New York. It settles some Of the
vexed questions which have grown out OF
our late war in regard to insurance com
nanies. The facts are sufficiently stated
by the court
Cowardin was regularly appointed the
agent of the international Assurance Com
panv of London to receive the premiums
paid annually or quarterly at Richmond,
Va, by persons to whom policies were
issued He was thus appointed Ey the
New York board in 1853, and continued
to act as such agent until the year 1850.
There was no actual revocation OF his
nowers until the sprine, of that year
Macmurdo obtained his policy of life in
surance in the year 1S45. He paid his pre-
miums quarterly to the agents of company
| in Richmond Cowardin being such agent
after 1853. appointed by the New York
hoard. The premium then paid to Cowar-
din in June, 1861, is admitted by the
| company. It's validity IS not questioned
either on account of the existence at that
! time Of state of war arising from the re-
/ which the payment was made Inc oO-
! lection of the defendant IS tins that the
existence of the war after June, 1861
arising from the rebellion Of the Southern
States, revoked, or suspended during the
war, the agency of Cowardln, and that
his acti duliug that period was null ana
void
The court says 1t is to be remembered
! that il is proved in this case that up tC
September, 1861, Confederate currency was
equal in value to the bank notes IN clrcu
culation in Virginia tina 1t was
but FIVE per cent. below gold l"
a still later period, the battle OF FIVE
Forks, it was but sixteen per cent. below
gold. Let it be observed. also. that oa
own circulating currency was 80 depressed
that at some periods of the war one hun
dred in gold would buy two hundred
, and ninety in currency. In january Q
, the present year, five years after the festo
: ration of peace, the national bank cul
, rency in circulation by authority OF IN
/ United States laws, and the legal tende
= notes of the United States, were at a dis
