Samuel N. Harrington, Esq, makes full and
searching reply TO the letter Of U. S. Marshal,
JOhn n. Dunn, published heretofore in the GA
zRETK. We have not the space 10 spare TO pub
llsh the entire reply OF Mr.. Harrington. and are
compelled TO omit all the 6Ist part Of it wherein
the charges of packing United States iaries are
reaseEle1 and also a reference TO DIR. Prettyman,
in which he makes it appear that that gentleman
had q case before the U. S. Court, and was sent
blank summonses TO serve on such men rs lie
pleased for juriSs; and that Mr.. Prsttyman, al,
thOuRh disliklng to do this himself gave the sum
monSns TO another man to Gil up. MI. Harring-
ton says;
Yet on October 3, after you got official knoWl-
edge thai Mr.. Prettyman had cause for trial,
YOU nut blank wflts into he hands and asked him
10 ali in such names as he pleased and return
them as jurors, and he hands them over 10 his
friend and fellow towsmaD, Nj. Revlle, who
summons three men, Zone OF them himselfD not
selected by you, As required by your writ, living
in the same town or hundred. 1t may be cor
recliy put thus Days case-nO men summoned
from his county, because they might be friendly
70 him. Prettyman's case-the blanks 70 into
his own hands aud his own townsmen and friends
are summoned, and from his county thirteen jur-
oru. / call that a corrupt aud partial mode OF
summoniDg jury, that the pnblic should de-
nounee and the court eiieetually prevent for the
future.
And, now, Mr.. MaFthAi, accept as true, your
statement that you mean TO hold me 10 legal liza
bility for what have written and said. So far
from seeking 10 escape responsib t "by .ep.ng
under the coat TAIL Of body, as your letterWut-
has done, sent to you the chsrges over my own
siRnatuEe, tWo weeks before my CREATION with
the TUpoFtsE: and now take upon myself the ilil
Tuuponibiiity Of both publicationa. l invite,
ehallsnge you to bring suit upon them. l want "a
go what lawyers will link their characters TO a de

that have been q by-Word in this community GoI
several years. l want those who prepare your de.
fences in style that too plainly tells their auth
OEShip, 70 eOaIe 10 the front, that the community
may know who encourage and sustain you in the
WrOngs you praetiee under cover ef your RESPONSE
ble once. And neither they nor you may hesi
tate about . SCI against me-that may get you
before iaFy, not drGSOR, in your style, upon the
blank summonses filed by the party TO snit-bui
