Validity of Contracts in Confederate Core rency—Importaut Questia: Before Judge Barnard. Mordecai vs, Desautles.—This is a case tavolving several interesting questions arising out of the late war. It appears that the plainti? advanced moneys to the defendant's son, at the mstance of the defendant, who resided in Europe. The advances having been made in the South during the war, were of course puid in Confederate money. ‘The piaintiiy now moves that the case be sent to a referee for trial, apa the defendant opposes the motion on the ground that @ dimiculc question of law t4 involved—the right to recover advances made in Coniederate moacy—and insists on hia right to trial by jury. On the argument of the motion the attorney for the piainufl contendaed that the right of a liigant to recover the value in green- backs of any debt contracted im the moneys issued by the late rebel government, was no longer a dim. cult question of law since ihe decision of tue United States Supreme Court in the case of Thorington vs. Smith, the opinion in which was pronounced by Chief Justice Chase a few weeks ago, He contended that, tue Court having there decided that the Con- federate States was de facto government in con- templation of public law, any contracts entered into by its citizens among each other, in the only currency In which they were permiited 10 deal, are just ag onforceabie in the tribunals of the United States a8 contracts made ib any = foremn uisdicuon, ‘Tho amount of this claim on ascertained by reducing the valices made tn Confederate moneys to gold, according to the quotable value of the precious metal in the cou - federacy at the time, and then reducing the gold into greenbacks at the quotations of the New York Markets for those periods during the war.
