Stephen Johnson Field,
Stevenson v. Williams — Opinion of the Court
“ But the ruling of the State court in these particulars, however erroneous, is not the subject of review by us. It presents no Federal question for our examination. It conflicts with no part of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.Had the State court refused to uphold the judgment because of the provision in the constitution of the State, subsequently adopted, prohibiting the enforcement of contracts founded upon Confederate money, a Federal question would have been presented. ”
