Rces vs. the City OF Watertovn.

We publish this week in full the recent
opinion of the Unit ed States Supreme Court
at Washington, in the case of Rees vs.. the
City of Watertown, for which we are in
debted to the Milwaukee Sentinel of the 23d
inst. Important legal questions were in
volved in this case and the decision has
become famous throughout the entire coun-
try. As directly efecting the interests and
welfare of the city of Watertown we could
place nothing before our readers which
would command such universal attention.
or be perused with the same degree of in
teresi. Our side OF the question was ably
presented to she Cour: by Ron. Daniel Hall
who labored with zeal aud faithfulness
in conducting the case. Not only
to Watertown is this decision important but
to other places in the state which are in
volyed in Ike difficulties with ourselves.
There is no denying the fact that the YER
dict has infused new courage into our people,
and the good effects flowing from it are ap-
parent on every side. 1t shows to the
bond oders the Importance of effecting a
compromise with US, and that they must be
lenient and patient. Meanwhile our
citizens have duty to perform, and the y
should direct their efforts towards bring ing
about a fair and honorable settlement 1t
is only in this way that we can maintain
the sympathy and forbearance now shown
ne both by the courts aud the law making
power.
