The Acklen Scandal.

New Orleans, September 29.-Tho
death of Harry L. Smith last evening
brought the Hon. J. H. Acklen again
into unpleasant prominence. About
three years ago scandal was rife 10
the Bayou Teche 10 which Acklen
and young woman connected with
the Palfrey family. one of the Oldest
in the State, were implicated. 1t was
publicly stated that Acklen sednced
and then married her to his hostler
to cover up the crime. 1t is certain
that the hostler married her, brought
her to this city and then deserted
her. Not long after a child was born:
The affair was generally discussed
aud Acklen severely ceDsur"d. He,
however, produced certain affidavi's
from the girl and her mother setting
forth that the alleged outrage was
fabrication. The matter WAS then
dropped. About three mouths az"
Acklen and Smith had some tronhle
about a publication bearing upon the
Washington scandal. Shortly after
ward -mlth heard of the presence in
town of the girl above alluded to anu
sought her out. She was iu an i'm
poverished condition and smith Of
feted her shelter 10 his house. Short
ly ate, che contracted fever and died.
Before abe died, however, according
to Smiths statement, she gave him an
affidavit duly sworn to before Jus
ticr of the Peace, to the effect that
Acklen had drugged her with wine
and then seduced her.
Last Sunday evening Smith told
the Times correspondent. in the pres
ence of witnesses, that he not only
had that affidavit but others, clearly
proving Acklen's guilt. These state
ments be said be would produce be-
