understood at the close of the last session
of congress that the Democrats had white
washed Representative Ackln, of Louisiana,
on the condition that he would retire to pri.
vate life and not seek denomination. His
remarkable escapades had made him heavy
load for the party to carry, before he in
creased his unpopularity by trying to foist
upon the house as the report OF prominent
committee document of his own creation.
For this he was subject to investigation,
which continued fora long time, aud for some
weeks 1t was generally expected that he would
be expelled or severely reprimsnded.
1t now appears that the leni.
ency of his fellow. Democrats will

man whom his party strove to nominate in
his place and had hand to hand fight in the
convention. News of this disguised the
Democrats in Washington, who had sup.
posed that they had got rid of him. Now
reports are brought from Louisiana that
there are indications that Ackln will be re.
turned to congress. 1t said that no made
so much trouble about the nomination of
another man that the latter consented TO 70.

Lin is wealthy, and it Is reported that he has
been at work so successfully that the second
