The Constitutional Controversy.

LETTER FROM Mr.. GEORGE TICKEoR CURTIS.
To the Editor of the Nep York Herald:
1t seems to me that in your al hOnasnem
appeal to me to recognize the authority OF
Mr.. Webster as opposed to the views have
taken of the Louisiana case you do not go
far enough in discriminating this case from
that of the Rhode Island government about
which Mr.. Webster was speaking. No one
questions the general principle that when
the President is applied to to protect State
government against domestic violence
he is bound to regard the "eXisting
government" as entitled to make the
application and certainly / have not
questioned that the Kellogg government
was the existing government, and as such
entitled TO move the Presidents consdera-
ton of its title to be regarded as the lawful
government. But suppose that the Rhode
Island case bad been the reverse of what it
was. Suppose that the President, using his
power unlawfully, had been instrumental in
making the Dorr government the existing
government, by active and forcible measures
assisting in its inception and in its attain
ment Of de facto power, can you imagine
that Mir. Webster would have considered it
the duty of the President, in case Mr.. Dorr
had applied to him to be protected under the
Constitution, to include that case within the
general principle of recognizing and main
tanning the existing government! can.
not imagine it. Isuppose he would have
said just what his language in another part
of his argument implies, and what is true in
all cases of an application under the Consti-
tuition. "These constitutionala and legal pro.
yisions,'' he said, make it the indispens-
able duty of the President to decide in cases
Of connection what is the rightful govern
ment of the State. He cannot avoid such
decision" That Is to say, be receives an ap.
