WASHINGTON, June 81.
A statement by Congressman Acklin, of
Louisiana, to the editor of the Washing
ton Post, contradicts the statements Of a
sensational and unwarrantcd char acter, as
to his behavior to anybody, and says his
version of the affair is entirely corrobor-
ated by the lady, and there is but one is
sue in the premises, and that is Of a per-
sonal and private character between Mr..
Acklin md General Rosser, who have both
left the city for their respective homes to
arrange their affairs, for such a determine
ton of the result between them as ac-
cords with their views of responsibility Of
men to one another. The scandal is dis
torted and exaggerated, and its publicity,
it is added, has had the effect Of fastening
an event which would AVE taken place
under any circumstances, and which
should not be permitted to be clouded
with dishonor. The Post says editorially
thai Mr.. Acklin has hurried to Louisiana
to arrange his affairs, and as soon as he
gets there his friend, a well known
duelist, will notify General Rosser to name
some gentleman to represent him, with the
view to q settlement according to the strict
code. The lady, Mr.. Acklin admits to have
seriously compromised, and processes a
willingness to make her the only repara-
ton in his power.
The Post tomorrow will publish an in
terview with John f. Coyle. formerly pub
Usher Of the National LateligenceY, regard
ing the published report that, at a dinner
party in this city en- the night Of Mr.. Lin
coins assassination, Coyle burned an n
read package which Booth handed him
during the day, and which it is supposed
contained his explanation of the causes
which led to his commission Of the ter
rible deed. Coyle says no such dinner
party ever took place. / never said he
heard OF that sstteMent until after the ex-
ecutiou although rumcrs we're prevalent
that such a stitssusHt had been prepared.
On my examination Us q witness before the
commission that tried the conspirators, l
there stated that no such document ever
reached me. Months after the execution,
John Matthews, the gentleman to whom
the statement had been given to be deliy-
cred to me, told me that he had received
it on the night Of the assassination, but had
read it and destroyed it.
New YORK, June "a.
A Graphic Washington special says that
an examination Of the Congressional Re
cord shows that Sergeant has not been abb
sent a day nor missed a roll-call during the
entire session Of near seven months, Mr..
Window was absent only one day. Mr..
Blaine only parts Of two days, although
the newspapers have twice announced that
Mr.. Blaine was lying dangerously i'll at his
residence. Mr.. Blaine thinks he has made
a pretty good record for q man whom the
newspapers are continually trying to i'm
press the public as broken in health. He
says he never felt better or stronger in his
life than now. Mr.. Cockrill has been the
most regular attendant on the Democratic
side Of the Senate. Mr.. Sharon has not
been in Washington during the session,
and his pay and mileage, amounting to
over 50. 600, lies untouched in the Office Of
the Disturbing clerk Of the Senate, and his
friends say he will not draw it.
