Competency OF Confederate Jurors.

MuNrGnuERN, ALN., December u.
In the United States Court yesterday
several parties arrested under lndict-
mcnt oi the United States Grand Jury
Mere un trial. The first case WAS T.. l.;
Mrorc, Of Dallas county. His counsel
lntcrposed the plea that the indictment
was void, because some oi the Jury
finding the indictments had been IN the
Confederate army, and under section
eight snd twenty OF the revised statutes
were not competent. They cited the
decision oi Judge Woods, in Louisiana,
aud recently in Florida. Judge Bruce,
al the District Court, decided that the
Flea was not good; that the section, at
though in the statutes. had been re-
pcaled before the statutes had been
abolished by Congress, and that the act
ot Congress making all IN the book the
law, did not revive the repealed section;
The cases were all postponed until
Thursday.
