The opinion is n» tbe case of tfie United Sutes, at the relation or J. Edgar Thompson, against the Board of Supervisors of Lee County, Iowa, and is M| follows: I THE OFIKIOK. 1 This is a motion for an attachment againit *d#taia members of lie Board of Supervi sors of Lee County, Iowa, on the ground tb»t they have been guilty of a contempt in wttfirtly disobeying the order of this Court. The facts are these The County of Lee, iowa, ia pursuance of a atatataot that State, ant! a vote of the people of the county to that effect, issued coupon bonds in aid of tbe eoastvuetien of certain railways. A ques tion was made in the courts of Iowa as ,0«rt of the United States, and it has been decided that they cannot, by injunction or otherwise, interfere, in any way, with the appropriate process of the Federal Courts for the collection of judg ments. And in cases like that we are now considering, it is also settled that a the is«ue of the 1st* rebellion. But it seemi hjdr* heeded, and we now enconnter it with in the border* of the petriotic State of iowe, which etruggled hard other SW*10 extirpate it. It would seem to need no erfctaem to show that the position taken by the Board of Supervisors of Lee county i» oneound. If tenable, then the Federat Coortsara en chained by State authority, and cannot exe cute their own decrees They act within tke States and opon the people of the 8(alea. That is the »ery law of their being. But it ia foadaaetital principle thai within Utetr ipbere they are supreme. Whether or not they an ia the path pointed oat by the Con Tko riwiift riftIIrt the United stitution and taw depends, by the very terms Xne Lire 1111 WOUCT ot State* Terwwtl*® Supreme Court of low® An Order Iiwncd for the Arrest •f (he Beard «f Saperrt* mm-h af I^ee C«nnty, \o the authority of counties under the lav to is» •Mt each bonds, arid it was held by the high est court of the State, in several cases, that au«h auihar'Jy existed. These bonda, there fbrt, had the popnlnr, the legislative and the Itidicial sanction. The bonds thus forfeited, Mtpf^ciairvered to the railway companies, were sold in the market, and the relator, •mong others, became, in the ordinary course of baataeas, a purchaser for valua before ma turity. So»e of the coupons on.bonds held by the T^fctor uSt baiitg paid, aolt wn brought thereon in the Circuit Court of the United State* far 4ha District of iowa. Uader tbe law of Congress these suits were transferred to this district, and ai the October term, !%!,«(tfcii ooort, the relator recovered three several judgments against tbe county of I.ee, amounting in the aggregate to and costs. These judgments were unpaid, for tbe reason, as alleged, that there waa no prou^ty on which an ordinary execution could operate, in the meantime the Supreme of Iowa had reversed it* ratings, and had held all these county bonds invalid, as iaaaa4-without authority of law. And the statutes of Iowa having provided that a tax should be levied by the Board of Supervisors to pay these bonds and interest, injunctions -were issued restraining the levy of such tax, •nd among others to the present defendant* What was the effect of the overruling of the prior decisions of the Supreme Court ol Jowa, upon bonds issued and purchased on the feilh of the orbital poaition takea, has repeatedly come before the Supreme Court of the United States, and it has been uni formly held by that court that the bonds in the lands of a btmajide holder, purchased for value before maturity, while the courts of Iowa austained their validity, were a just claim againit the parties iuaing them. It has always teemed to me that this doctrine tested upon the plainest principles of right and equity. The bonds were ia market for aale—decided to be good and effectual in law by every authority that could speak in the S a e e o n e y w a a a i a n e e i v e I 1 would be difficult to imagine a contract made under more solemn and bindiog guaraatees. What was the effect of an injunction issued tiy the tribunals of Iowa prohibiting the levy of »tax h» aleo several tiaiea recently been k«£pra the Supreme Court tnanda• tmtu ia aucb process, Such being the state of the case, on the 10th of July lSt'iX, the relator obtained an al ternative writ of mandamus from this court, ttKj&iriag the Board of Supervisors of Lee oeenty t0 levy t*a to pay otf the three judg ments and costs, recovered by him, or to show cause, on the lirst Monday of October next thereafter, My they did not taeke inch levy. This writ was duly served on the Su pervisors by the Marshal of Iowa, in the month of September. No cause was shown oreppareat nqtiuejaken of thia writ by the Hoard of Sep^vieors, and their defanlt *u entered on the Hlh of October. On thfe "29th of October, the relator obtained from this coort a peremptory writ of mar*- damns against the Supervur of Lee county (it having been shown that the levy had not been made) requiring them,to forthwith im» peee m4 Id oolWc withantdelay the tax for the payment of the judgments, and in this they "ere to fail uot under the peril of th# law." On" Irtth of November last the Marshal duly Berved the peremptory writ of mandami* Oti lb* President of the Board, and. gave a true copy of the same to each tnettjber while the Board Was in openaeaaion. No return has ever been made by the defens daots to this writ. Oa«tha eame day that the writ aerted, the Board, as appear* by the published neieut«e of their proceed ings, on the irtiggpStlofi "of counsel for Lee countj in railroad bend suits,'' adopted the following preamble and resolutions: WjyjHj, as,,A piltmptoijj1 writ otmandgmw (HI Circuit Court of the United ft* the Northern District of llliaoii, stUinjfat Chicago, in the case of the United States ex rel.

Then, when tbat Court, in a give* case, has decided that the parties should obey the mandate of a Federal court, State e«nrt« must yield. This has been the rule from the foundation of the government, and, there-1 I fore, in certain controversies writs of error i issue to the highest court of a State to revise its judgment or dccree, under the twenty-unh section of the Judicial act o» 1789. It is upon the Bame principle that tbe act ol Harcb i 18: :'., was passed at tbe time of the Sooth Carol ina troubles. The courta of th« United Statea hare con stantly followed it since their organization. To lake a very recent example: The Bank* rupt law of 1W", n various ways, interferes with the proceedings of tbe State courta. By what right? By virtue of the power in C«n greaa '"to establish uniform laws oa tbe »ob ject ot bankruptcies." Whenever In cariy mg out this power, the court* of rtie United Htfttet ftct upon the courU of th® 8t*teit tbe latter mutt girfe. way, aad far tbe Mmple ret son that tbe antberity of tbe former ia para mount. It most be so under our sy*em, for it is very clear, if tbe docteine now (ought to be maintained by the defendant prevailed generally the tie tbat binde tba States, in the administration of justice at leapt, would be severed at once. What, therefore, the de» fendauts are required to do in this case is nothing new. State courts and Judges have done it often, and because they believed their oath* of office required it aader tbe sixth article of tbe constitution, which declares that the law* of the United States "made in pursuance thereof thall be the su preme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be booed thereby, amy thing in the cniutituttim or fchw of any State to the contrary naitcithtianding." The mandate issued trom thia Court ia a law to these defendants, expressly decided to be »o br tbe Snpreme Court of the United States. The Judges of Iowa are bound to obey and respect iL On what higher ground can the Board of Supervisor* of Lee County, in that State, plaoe themaelves to escape its binding obligation It is the undoubted right of the courts of Iowa, in suits therein, to decide all legal questions properly coining before tbem under the copetiUittoa and law( of that State, ar.d the parties thereto are concluded by such de cision but when they decide differently in different cases upon the same point, and the Supreme Court of the United States has adopted one course of decisions and rejected tha other, neither the courts of the State nir the parties to controversies in the courts of ho United States can ignore Or disregard the judgaSenfl of the Federal Courts merely bes cause they suppose the right ruling has not been followed. It has seme times happened that the Su preme C')urt of the United States have over ruled its ewn previous decision, made in ac cordance with the judgment of a State court, ia order to follow tbe guiie there set up, but rt is obvious there muet be a limit to auob d( vtatiou, and that court haa frequently failed ro see sufficient reasou for the change. These cases from Iowa furnish one instance where it has refused to adopt the last It is clear that is the view of the subject taken by the defendants, and it would seem, inspired by eouneel nnd not discouraged by Judges. It is inconceivable that these de fendants could have takeu their course with out tome reason for believing tbat they would besnBtaiaeA. Indeed, they distinctly say, situated as they are, tney rely upon the courts of the State, as well as of the nation, for support. It is difficult to comprehend by what mode of reasoning they reached the coticluaioa they could rely ttjion ^Federal Court for proteCliMMai*£tfeVcongtqMnces o(ibelr o*u delifeeria diaebediei^e of its orders. For a court that cannot ana will not enforce its decree is shorn of one of its principal attributes. Tbe judgments of the relator would become valueless without the means of compelling payment, and when he asks for any appropriate and legal process to effect that result, the Court ongttt not to with hold it. If there had been any steps taken to re move the case to the Supreme Court of the United Sum, to the end tbnt ed 00 lMue mandamus unable to as rnstrued bit the And alao doing yiolence to our oath* of oflice as we understand it, and litfJuiuf AnitalTM Nable to pnniihmeDt for conUmpt and vio'atioa of oar sworn daty.

Bnt fldthfng of the kind has been attempted. The parties have con- tented nnguccesiifully.all these points so often before the courts of the Unitea States, that they have abandoned furlh«r controversy argument, and now hope to interpose as ft nbteM the order of a State court. As has been seen, such order is of no avail, land the hope, to ertry on# who can examine tbe sub ject unaffected by feeHng, most appear to be tonnded on a mere fallacy. Other cases sim ilar to these now under consideration, were trMtf**r*4 from Iowa to this State eome years since, becauRe ef the alleged interest of the Judge of the Circuit Court of the United Statea for that District in the ques tions involved, and thus this Court has been cotineo'ed with the untoward coutrovarsy which has a/i(«n between the Courts of the United Sotea ud of that State, and where at that time in order to execute the judgments rendered, the Judges of this court were cali- Peremptory writ of 10 court- thou8h,admitting «u applied Tor or issued: process, they, under the circumstances, "A'uiriNtf, Thw #e believt our oaths rt- wer® committed it.

I am not insensible of the gravity of tbia nasi and have stated, somewhat at length.- the reasons upon which tbe action of the Court is based, and with the hope that tbe defendants may reconsider the circum atancea of their position and act in conformi ty with la*. Tbe principles presented are established by the highest judicial authority in the country and indeed are familliar. They have been thus referred to became they seem to be either unknown, forgottec, or repudi ated by the defendants and their legal ad visers. Ia granting the writ of attachment in this case, I submit, in conclusion, whether, after all the various matters involved in this litiga tion have been repeatedly before the Su preme Court of the United States, and as often determined against the claims Bet up bv the persons and corporations of Iowa, who are parties to suits in the Federal Courts, it is not the duty of those parties, at least, as to the cases in the courts of the United States, to yield obedience as good citizens, to tbe orders of the final arbiter of the law.

It is true there wm not oompUu harmony of opinion among the Judges of the Supreme Court of Iowa, nor has there been among the Judges of the Supreme Court ol the United States, upon the question in contro versy between these parties, but that is not uncommon. It is a difference of opinion apon the law among Ikwyere and even judges that gives rise to most if not all the litigation in our courts. Courts are created to settle these diBerences and adjudicate on the rights of parties. Many of the rule* now of daily practice in the courts of the United States, have been established, not by a unanimous court, of which much of the jurisdic» tion in admiralty is »ti example. It is a maxim of the law that the public interest d-msnds, there should be an end of leeal controversy, and, therefore, when the decis ion of a competent court of final resort in a case within ita jurisdiction is given, as to that, the door is closed. I infer from an opinion which has just beea published of the Supreme Co irt of Iowa, nd which I suppose to be authentic, the Judges of that CoU|Hj|ten| to adhere to its later rulings ou the validity of these county bonds. No one can question their right to do to,.bat it teems to me no iatimation even thouM -be given from which it could be in ferred that in a conflict in such a case, be tween the courts of the State and of the Uni ted States, the decisions of the State courts are paramount.
