General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Syllabus
From the statement of this case made by the Supreme Court of Louisiana in its opinion, quoted in the opinion of this Court, it is manifest that no federal question was passed upon by that court, but that its decision was put upon an independent ground, involving no federal question, and of itself sufficient to support the judgment below, and this Court therefore dismisses the writ of error.
The case is stated in the opinion.
