Secession in Court.
--A day or two ago one William Chester was arraigned before the Kenlon (Ky.) Circuit Court, charged with passing a counterfeit bill on the State Bank of Louisiana. After the evidence was hard, counsel for the prisoner claimed that as the State of Louisiana had seceded, the court had no jurisdiction in the case. Judge Moore, however, ruled that as neither the President of the United States nor Congress has recognized secession, the trial would proceed under the laws, of Kentucky; and it did, resulting in the jury awarding Mr. Chester three years in the penitentiary.--Louisville Courier.
