From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
a Dangerous Confiict Between the
state and Federal Authorizes of
New York
There has arisen most important case which
threatens TO embro the State and Federal Gov
eminent in collision in New York The case IL
this: Col. Burke. the commander of Fort Ia.
yette, refuses obedience To the writs of the State
Courts OF New York. lie repulsed the Sheriff
of Kings county by military force. lie declared
that he would not obey and respect the laws. He
is acting under general instructions. "a will be
seen 10y the following from the New York cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun:
Provost Marshal Nugent has received In.
structions from Washington not to make returns
hereafter 20 wrts of habeas corpus issued bv
State Judges further than to state in respectful
manner that such writs must be obtained from
Judges of the United States Cour :. when the
United States is party to the proceedings"
The State authorities are now called upon 20
maintain their jurisdiction The Kings County
case before alluded to is thus progressing
application FOR rHE REMOVAL or sHERIFF.
Another step has been taken by the counsel
in the matter OF the Baltimore Police Commits
suners. The Sheriff of Kings County having
certified that he was unable 10 serve the writ of
attachment issued bv the County Judge against
Colonel Burke (lor disobedience 10 a writ OF ha.
beGs cOrpuS), the counsel for the political prs-
oners have now appealed To Governor Seymour
20 remove the Sheriff They take the ground. il
is understood. that the Sheriff can have sufficient
military force, if he chooses TO call for IT. to cap.
ture Fort Lafayette and enforce the State laws !;
that the law itself cOntemplates no such contin.

were presented 10 Governor Seymour, ut the st.
Nicholas Hotel, in this city, on Friday, the 10th
inst. The Governor took them and promis ed an
early action upon them. II is confidently be-
lieved by the compliments thatthe Kings county
Sheriff will be removed and new one appointed,
who will call TO his aid all the military power of
the State IN the effort To enforce its laws - New
York Herald July -
We have little doubt that the Kings county
Sheriff will be removed and neS one appointed,
who will enforce the State laws if he has to call
out the whole force OF Brooklyn for that purpose
II that is not sufficient, Governor Seymour is
pledged bv his message to employ the whole mill
tarv force o. the St To that object Col Burke
and all Federal officers much bound 10 obey
the laws of the State OF New York as the New
York rioters There can be no distinction
of persons The position of the Federal Gov
eminent destroyed all State rights and Statelaws,
and tramples them in the dust 1t is n striking
evidence OF the short sighted folly of the author
titles at Washington that they should thus seek 10
DESTROY the rights OF States which are their main
support in this struggle. What possible good can
be effected by collisions with the State authorities
and State coarts? How much better TO obey
them cheerfuly and with alacritv, and thus avoid
the most dangerous complication? We sneak
now as matter of policy alone, but how much
higher is the dictate of principle to that end
