FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

IHE AChLEN-EOSSFR sCANpAL-WHAT Is SAID
by THOSE WHO KNOW.
Congressman Acklen, OF Louisiana, Is expected
here IN tho morning, and, If report be true BIO is
going to demand prompt rquittal at the hands
Of the several persons here who have
cused him of tho alleged Improperly W. Ackor's
restaurant. In the absence OF General Rosscr, and
with unbrokcn silence on tho part OF the lady who
was witness OF his interference With Mr. Ackicn's
supper party there Is no ono here TO dispute tho
theory OF Mr.. Acklen's friends that General Rosscr
was guilty OF unwarranted intrusion In forcing
entrance into Mr.. Ackien's presence. This theory
Is strengthened by tho discovery that the lady who
with Mr. Acklen was and Ia still his friend, and
companicd him in his carriage 10 the railway station
whom he took his departure for homo upon the adj
journment Of Congress Tho lady's relatives say that
no had been her sutton since no nrst met her
here in the winter ana that she had declined his offer
OF marriage. but that he persevered In his attentions
nevertheless. This fact has given riso conjecture
that upon tho night OF ths supper party hc had
again pressed hts suit aud paying his addresses
go Enormously aud pcrsistentiy at tho time As to
elliott exciamatons Of protest from tho lady, which in
turn were heard and misunderstood by General Ros-
scr's companion, and tho of latter's
demand upon General Rosser to interfere In behalf Of
whnt sho supposed was lady IN dire distress.

Aeklsn hadn't friend town, general was tho
impression created against him by tho Islander Of
