As the sounds coutluued, Gen, R man of fmposing physique, deemed it his duty to nscertain the cause of the unusual expres- slona—which, by the way, were not ns repre- sented fn o New York paper, which atates that tho lady sald: * For shamel Uhl do not, I wray you; let me go a helpl” The General openéd tiic door,—somo say ha forced It open, —and, having entered, soon realized that ho was an tatruder, and that the relations between the partics evidently were of a character not to ro- quire hia interference, Mr. Acklen was not as- saulted by Gen, Rosser, nor did the latter seo any reagon for the exercise of phyaical foree. fr. Acklen nppeared ln bis seat in the House on Wednesday notrning, and his name appears among those voting at every roll-call from the begluning of that day's sesslon until the final adjournment. An ocxamination of the record =iso shows that he was at the Ilousc on Tues- day evening, and voted at the last roll-call of 83at night's sitting, tho House baving adjourncd shortly before 10 o'clock. Another featuro of she case, and one which wmplalelr refates the theory of violenca which s mencrally prevalent, is that Mr. Acklen and tho lady are “reported to have been scen_ togethier nf the Capitol on Wedncsday, and Mr. Acklun's private secretary declares this evening that the lady was among thoso friends of Mr. Acklen who nccompanicd him to tae dc{wt on_ Thuraday night when ho lefL for Loulsiana. ‘The pronrletor of Welcker's restaurant, ¥here the incident was located by o local paper, publishes a card this evening dcur fog that any such occurrcnca aa was Jescribed in hl;% papers of yesterday occurred ot that eatab- ment.
