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.

Preston v. Chicago No. 195 Submitted December 16, 1912 Decided January 6, 1913 226 U.S. 447
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
Whether a state officer is within the classified service and not subject to removal under the Civil Service Act of the state is a matter for the state court to determine, and its ruling is binding upon this Court and presents no federal question. Taylor v. Beckham, 178 U.S. 548. Where the judgment of the state court rests upon nonfederal questions sufficient to support it, such as laches and long delay, this Court cannot review the judgment upon the ground that a federal question also exists. Moran v. Horsky, 178 U.S. 205.
In a proceeding specifically for mandamus to restore petitioner to a state office over which this Court has no jurisdiction, it cannot consider any rights which petitioner may have in a fund of which he may be deprived without due process of law, and the judgment dismissing for want of jurisdiction does not conclude his right in that respect.
Writ of error to review 246 Ill. 26 dismissed.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court to review judgments of the state court by writ of error, are stated in the opinion.
