The Aeklen Scandal.
AN OLD SENSATION RECALLED BY MR.. ECGEN
BELTS MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES.

AN OLD SENSATION RECALLED BY MR.. EUGENE
BELTS MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES.
The scandal referred to In the accounts pub
lished Saturday, of the troubles between Mr..
Eugene Belt, of Baltimore, and his wife, for
merly Mrs. Godfrey, known as the Acklen
scandal, grew out of an occurrence at Welcker's
In this city, on the night of June 18TH 1873.
The story, as then published, was that Gen.
confederate service, went with q lady friend to
Melekers in advance of party with whom
they were to have supper. While Gen. Rosser
was absent to give an order, the lady heard ap-
peals and cries for help in yornan's voice, pro-
ceedine from the adjoining room. When Gen.
Rosser returned, his companion entreated him
to leave the place He was about to seek another
room when the cries for help were repeated,
whereupon Gen. Rosser broke through the door
apparently heated with wine and in dishev-
eied condition painting for breath. He showed
Acklen aside and saw the distressed lady safely
into q carriage which took her from the hotel.
The lady declined at the time to give her name.
She was subsequently, identified as Mrs. God
frey. This story afforded gossip here for over q
week. ON the Goth of June denials Of the story
by Gen. ROsser, as well as by Acklen, were pub
lished. Acklen in his card stated that his in
tentions toward the lady were strictly honor
able, and that previous to and after the pre-
tended occurrence he had asked her to be his
wife, an offer which she had declined.

WAShiN6EON, II. u, OCtoOef ZUtn, $780,
To the Editor ofTHE EVENING STAR:
I have in my possession . letter from the
board Of trustees Of the reform school addressed
to me in reply to request OF mine to be al
lowed to instruct the Catholic boys tonly) con-
fined in that institution In their religion. This
letter also includes q copy Of letter addressed
to Rev. Father Wiget and others, refusing posi-
lively to allow what this honorable board calls
sectartan teaching, or in other words, no Cath
these boys Catholic christian doctrine. have
letters from the chapiains OF the Baltimore and
Albany penitentiaries where the rights Of con-
mass and Catholic instructions are allowed in
these institutions. This right of Catholic in
struction is denied to our Catholic boys in our
ernment and neither the board Of trustees nor
the government of these states has the right to
interfere with the rights OF these boys. 1t is
very simple thing we Catholics ask, viz: to be
allowed to give these boys proper religious in
structions so that they may be reformed and
make good and useful citizens. The board need
not fear the Catholic catechism Of christian
doctrine; there is no treason or dynamite in 1t.
1t Is as harmless as milk and honey. The toll
lowing, taken from the American February %,
1855. is to the point: "New York has an excite
freedom OF worship shall exist in the orphan
schools, reformatOries, prisons, and other pub

pendent clans are gathered. At this distance

priesthood should enjoy the free access they
claim to members OF their own communion

New York is q Protestant community, but we
have always supposed an entire and generous
liberation had become o common principle of
state aided institutions are to be used as

these are to be denied the benefits of religious
