' "■ *>*""-'"^ --* i W a. WAR QUESTIONS IN THE SUPREME COURT OF WISCONSIN. By Bvt. Brig. Gen. F. C. Winkler, U. S. V. [Read November 2, 1892.] IT was not to the soldier alone, not to those whom the exigencies of the day transformed into soldiers, alone, that the revolt of 1861 brought new duties. The wrenching of the bonds of long-continued peace invaded every branch and department of government with new problems. It fairly took possession of the_ legislative as well as the executive, and it rolled ardehfj/con'tent'ibus over questions of right into the forum of the judiciary. A grouping of the great questions that arose out of the relations of war and came before the courts of the country for determination, with a discussion of the attention they received and the disposition that was made of them, might indeed be the subject of the greatest interest, but it is too broad a theme for me. I propose only, as briefly as I can, to present, to-night, what the Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin was called upon to do,—what it I q. did in reference to problems of the war. 1. A special session of the legislature of the State of W J- Wisconsin, called by Governor Randall for the purpose of taking measures for the pulilic defense, convened at the state capitol in May, 1861. Troops were being raised. Troops had to be raised. The state was the instrumentality for enlistment and organization. Money was needed.
