Editors Constitution: As Frank Logan, jr., {alias Charles Raymond) does me the to mention my name ln his card, cub* lianed Sunday morning, 1 ask space Ior a brief rejoinder thereto). I have read Mr. Bohnef eld’s reply and indorse tvjry line of the same. His recital of the inci dents connected with toe cowhldln* Is entirely correct. There Is not a tinge of mlsrepreacma lion ln it. The motives he escribes as'actuating him to the part he took In toe affair also moved te. I win, however, add to Mr. Bohnefe’d’a state ments the following: Logan received hia flog ging without aur protest except ln words although his manner justified the belief that be wss armed. No threat even of any violence on ras made by me, nor by Mr. Bohnefcld, so fares 1 heard Mr. Boh2efeld was entirely on armed, and I had only a small pocket-knife. From Logan's conduct I am inclined to believe that toe mother, if she had been entirely alone, could have given him the cowhiding as effect ually as if na man had been present. 1 make this statement because I have learned that Lo gan has stated that pistols were presented toward him while he received the cow hiding. II to protea an innocent glii—a very child, as the one involved in .hia case is-from toe dtsigna of such a fellow as Logan (alios Charles Ray ) has proven himself to be. makes a l “plug-ugly,’• “black-leg,” or “would be. thief” ln his estimation, he may write me down as om.

Whan she had stepped away from him; Logan said: “Well, 1 have got what I ueseryed; 1 have done wrotag,” and then begged every ono pres ent to “please” not make the matter puolic, it should become known it would injure him ln his bualnear, not only ln Atlanta, but Mi the north and west, where he had business con* nectlons. Tbe affair being over, Logan walked The foregoing is a plain and correct statement of the circumstances of the West- End cowhiding, and it concAuively refutes Lc Kan's charge of s “conspiracy” having been concocted against him. 1 know that np to the miunte he made hia decoy gestures from the streetcar, no idea was had of whom “Charles Raymond” was. Tbe arch conspirator ln this affair was Frank Logan, Jr. He '• the man ho “cast the first stone,” and he voluntarily stated that the cowaldlng he recelred was What he deserved!” His statement that the girl he sought to ruin is a fall grown woman is false, and Is known to be so by sny one who knows her. Bne Is not yet thirteen years old, and proof of this is at tainable at any time. Now, a few words concerning the motives that actuated me in accepting any pan in this affair. As before stated, the motoer requested my aid in tracing aad punishing some covert scoundrel who was aeearog to ruin her daughter. Tbs daughter's conduct in delivering the first note received to her grandmother, was evidence of Hex parity, and gives the lie to Logan’s Insinu ations In his card that she is archest.

While at tbe table they were staitled by tha scream* of a woman in an adjo ning room. They rushed to the d or and demanded that it be opened. This not being complied with tbe door waa (orced open. The discovery was then made that a.certain congretsman, lately admitted to hia seat trom one oi the southern states, was attempting to out rage a lady whom he had invited to dine with him. One of the gentlemen, an ex-confederate officer, unceremoni ously kicked the member from the south out of the room.” 4 • caairuL lavraTKunmfi into the basia of tbia story above, shows that it has enough back of it to warrant the expulsion of the member in ques tion, and the creation of a great social scandal. Last Wednesday evening, Gen. T. L. Rosser, chiei engineer of the Northern Pacific railroad, railed at Welcker’a with a lady friend, to obtain a light lunch. Tbe time waa 11 o’clock in the Evening. He entered the public dining-room and passed to the lower end ot the apartment. As no servant waa in sight, and none appearing, he lelt his friend and went out after a s r- vant. When he returned he found his ladv friend very much agitated. She exclaimed that there waa BOHRHIitO WRONG GOING ON in the next room; that ahe bful heard sounds of sobbing, begging, and groan ing from tome lady in distress.

The friends of Congressman Acklin, of Louisiana, publish a card in this morning's Poet regarding the affair which occurred in this city last week, involving the name and good repnte of that of a gentleman and lady of prom^ inence in the society of New York and Washington. The circumstances, they remark, have been MISREPRESENTED AND DISTORTED, and, without going into details, it is sufficient to say there was nothing in the conduct of Mr. Acklin to warrant the inferences which have been dr^wu by the pnblic and countenanced by the press. Acklin’s conduct has not been such as to withdraw from him the con* fldence or esteem of THE LADY IN THE CASE. The card continues: There has been and is now but one issue in the prem ises, and that is an issue of a personal and private character between Mr. Acklin and Gen. Rosser, who have both left the city for their respective homes, to arrange their affairs for such a determination of the issue between them as their views of the responsibil ity of men to one another, which do document and ilim Ue nld nad an important document addrened to toeror Anderean, and I inoughl it wm an im portant dccamtnt.

He obtained help and a physician as soon aa possible, and hss cared Ior Mr. B. the very beet he could up to this time. It is not definitely known what prompted Mr. Borne to attempt relf-dcstructlon, and he has ven several diflerent reasons tor doing so, to- wit: Tho parents of Mins Thurman disliked him and his wooing of their daughter. An* other reason is that scandalous report* had been circulated in to* community about him. An other also, and which t • gave the writer, wa that he had a good home and friend with Mr luokclt, yet hia lot in U'e wm a hard one out side of that, which had greatly troubled his mind, and he supposed caused the act. I think Mr Barns’s mind wm greatly nabal- lanced at toe time. I also think that mental deficiency has manifested itself ln his case be fore aud since toe occurrence. 1 believe it, and say lt as much In behalf of MlssT.u anybody else, for lt must be really annoying to a young lady to kcow or feel that a man hat attempted a destruction of hla life oa her account.
