a GENERAL DENIAL.

The Editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.l Times.
Union Denies the Existence of the State
of Affairs Charged Above and Makes
Counter Charges Against the Federal
Authorities.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 27.-Editor
Hawthorne of the Times Union pub
fishes an open letter to President Har-
rison stating that the people of Florida
regard the Presidents letter to Attorney
General Miller with surprise and deep
sense of injury. They are convinced
that the statement it contains about re-
sistance to legal process in Florida must
have been based upon misinformation
as to the actual state of affairs in the
counties named This misinformation
probably existed in the reports made to
the Department of Justice by officers Of
the court for this district
Mr.. Hawthorne proceeds to cast dis
credit upon the reports by asserting
that District Judge Swayne openly
boasted that the policy of his court
would be one of bitter persecution OF
Democrats. This threat put the Demo
Gratis on the defensive, and provoked
widespread suspicion of Judge Swayne's
tribunal.
The letter goes on to say that the Unit
ed States jury commissioner fragrant
ly Disseminated against Democrats,
twenty-five out of twenty-three mem
bers being Republicans. Wholesale in
| dictments against Democrats for polit-
| ical offenses were then found on most
unreliable testimony. This reused the
people to Indignation and fear. In the
! cases that came to trial the courts rul-
| ings were often partisan. No wonder
| the people of the counties referred to
shrank from appearing for trial before
such court, or that they preferred the
| hardship of concealment to the dangers
Of unfair trial. These people are
industrious and law-abiding. They
have been terrorized by the
political persecution to which they have
been subject. This accounts for their
reluctance to admit process, but they
have been grossly misrepresented in
other respects. They are not inhospit-
able to the marshals. The writer has
the statement of eleven of these
marshals that they were treated like
gentlemen at Madison, where it has
been alleged that they were refused &C
commodations. If the court is cleansed
Of partisanship and injustice so that il
merits the confidence of the people, i
will meet no resistance, obstruction OF
