There are number of errors in the telegraphiC
accounts of the social scandal now agitatng the
fashionable world of Washington which it may be
worth while to clear up. 1t is true that the par
ties to the derorable affair are well known in
New Orleans and New York, but it is not true
As has been stated, that the lady in the case is
person of youth aud nexperience. On the con-
trary. she is widow, quite good looking, ii is
true, but somewhat mature, and the mother OF at
least child, a daughter six or years old.
She is the sisteI-iu law IF a Democratic member
of Congress from this City, whose wife during
the W inter was generally regarded as the belle
Of a certain set IN Washington, and who because
of her beauty and the fact that on one or two oc-
casions she was Mrs. Hayes assistant at the
Official White IIonse receptions was not a little
envied by the wives of some of her husbands
colleagues. Mr.. Acklin, who was with the lady
in the private supper room when, the story
goes, she cried for help, is one OF the youngest
members of the present Congress. BY virtue of
the decision of an unjust and partisan majority
he holds the seat of the Third District of Louisi-
ana, which rightfully belongs to Mr.. Dana
The story of his great wealth and lavish expendi-
ture OF money may be taken with q grain of al
lowance. but it is true that he belongs to one of
the Oldest families Of Louisiana, and that he de-
lights IN crest upon which is inscribed Fides
Acklinii." That he mas long been on terms of
with the lady and her family is well
known in Washington. General Rosser, who
somewhat indiscre, tly rushed in to save the lady
thus performing service which might safely
have been left TO the waters, is, nevertheless a
very estimabe gentleman, and, among those who
know him, famous for his many good qualities
lie fought brayely 10 the Confederate Army, and,
like all the parties to the affair, is prominent
Democrat. He is hardly the man to be alarmed
by certain wild publications as to Ackn's dex-
terty with the pistol, aud as he lady has received
the offer of marriage which she was expecting
during the entire Winter, it is just possible that
there will be no duel and no further trouble
