II That consistent and moral sheet, the Wa

scheme as a swindle, while tacitly endorsing an
other of the same character Reason-the one
advertises the Reporter, and the other doesn't.
We have advised our readers, time and again, to
avoid all lottery schemes, if they do not want to
be swindled. If the proprietOrs of the lotteries
want to advertise in the Chief, and are willing to
pay our prices, we admit them, the same as 9TH

advertisements publish, or ask every reader
to pitch in and patronze the concern advertised.
If we advertise a bedbug poison, and the trnck
causes the death of the editor of the Reporter,
if we advertise heavy pegged boots, and the ed
itor of the Reporter gets hosted over gate with
one of them, we hardly think we are responsible
for his mishap.

II Belknap has son, Young man at
college, who is said to have been utterly over
come and heart-broken when he heard of his ia
theirs disgrace. We suppose this means that he
will steal from the Government, when he gets
an opportunity. When Lincoln was assassinat-
ed, it was announced that Edwin Booth, the
brother of the assassin, was heart broken, and
would quit the stage forever. He is now a
playing tour in the South, and the rebels down
there flock to hear him from far and near and
almost worship him, on account of his sainted
brother. If this is the result of a broken heart
Belknap's son will do TO look after.

rascality, you just bet they are on a scent
that will lead to the game. The newspaper cor
respondents not only gave the first information
of Pendleton's jobbery, but forced his conviction,
and disclosed the fact that the Clymer Commit

The MARsHALsHIP.-It is understood that a

Marshalship of Kansas, Marshal Tough being
booked to go out. Among the many candidates
for the vacancy, we hear the name of B. S. Camp
bell, of this County, who has been resident of
Washington for a few months past. Although
politically 'tat outs" with Mr.. Campbell for a
few years past, VIC can bear testimony to his ca
pacty and energy in public position. He was
for four years Sheriff of this County, and part of
the time Deputy Marshal, in which positions he
displayed rare energy and vigilance. He seems
to have a peculiar tact for service of that des-
eription-always on the alert, prompt to act, and
correct in business. He is popular with the
masses, an untiring worker, and exerts large
influence. His appointment would be very ac-
ceptable to his friends in this County and other
parts of the State while the Office would be fill
ed with as much ability as it ever has been in

A R1G FROG SPEARED.-The principal victim,
! ,hus far. of Clymer's Committee, is George H.
pendleton, prominent Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. The story l., briefly this:
The Kentucky Central Railroad had claim
against the Government for transportation dur
ing the war. Three Secretaries of War-Stan-
ton, sehoheld, and Rawlins-decided that the
claim was fraudulent, and refused to pay it; that
the Railroad had been paid in full for all trans
portatinn. Quartermaster-Genera Meigs also
reported twice against it. Pendleton was Pres
ident OF the Railroad Company, and was exeeu-
Tor OF one Bowler, his brother-in-law, whose es-
tate owned almost one half of the road. He was
also the attorney or agent of Mrs Bower, for the
investment of the money derived from her hus-
bands estate When Secretary Belknap married
Mrs. Bower, Pendleton again presented the claim
of the Railroad Company, and Belknap paid It,
contrary TO the decision of Gen. Meigs fendle-
ton was working for the Railroad Company un-
der a salary, and 1t his duty to attend TO all
its interests; and he also paid for looking
after his brotherin-law's estate; yet lie received
$4,000 out Of this Government award, while the
railroad company and the estate together recelv-
ed less than 100000. Mrs. Belknap has as much
as acknowledged that she received large part
of the sum, but this has not appeared in the tes-
timony,
When Clymer found that his investigation was
going to implicate Pendleton, he discharged the
witness Marsh who, with his wife, were know
ing TO the transaction, and hastened them out of
the country. The impeachment of Belknap was
undertaken to damage the Repu blcan party;

An EarIv Morning Lecture, n Meeting for
Women Only, and Meeting Intended for
Men. but which Women Would Attend.
An immense congregation was in the
Hppodrome Yesterday morning. Admittance
was TO be obtained by tickets Of which 5,OO0 had
been issued The service was to commence at
O'Clock, but Mr.. Moody had announced that
ticket holders would have prior right to seats
until ten. minutes before eight. Very soon
after hall pest seven tho hall was nlled. upward
Of 1000 persons being present, and many who
had tickets and supposed that they would be
available at 8 O'Clock In the morning found
themselves unable to obtain seats In any better
position than the extreme rear Of the hail. The
assembly, as a whole, had the appearance OF en-
jovlnR rather than prohting by the evaugelists'
efforts. Mr.. Moody looked fresh and vGor-
Gus "a when he began work In Brooklyn, and
Mr.. Sankey's voice, which was a little husky on
the closing days OF last week, had reRained all
it's clearness, melody, and power. He opene the
service by singing Hold the Fort" the words OF
the martial hymn ringing through the great space
with amazing distlnctness. The congregation
sung the chorus as u had never been sung be
fore In New York. PRAYER followed, and Mr..
Sinkey sang "Sewing the Seed" and afterward
led the congregation IN "Stand no for Jesus"
Mr.. Moodys lecture, which followed, was a
repetition ot the story OF Daniels trials and
triu mphs. with comments. Next Mr.. Sankey
and Mr.. T.. =. Thatcher sang Dare to be a
Daniel" and Mr.. Moody pronounced tho bene-
diction.
In the afternoon fully seven thousand women
crowded into the large hall, nlling all the seats,
occupying the standing room In rear Of the gal
lefies aud taking up positions under the pat
form. from which they dened the usners TO Ola
lodge them, and had, consequently, TO be pro-
videi with chairs, camp stools, and seats on the
platform stairs. Excepting few ministers, re-
porteis, and policemen. no men were present.
Some small boys, whose presence was not de-
tected until a woman tried to deprive one OF his
seat, gained choice places. The platform was
crowded u its outer edge. and those who were
underneath were not safe from being crushed.
Tho retreat from the hall at the close OF the ser
vice was hurried and disorderly MANY went
into the inquiry rooms, and many more went
out into the streets. and the streams OF women
crossing, diverVing. and unfolding, became so
entangled that the ushers retired discouraged.
The hall was az In thronged in the evening,
tho meeting being, ostensibly, for men only (;
but at least thousand women were present,
many Of them having seats upon the platform.
Mr. Sankey sang new hymn. entitled " No
Room" based upon the biblical passage, "And
they wrapped him In swaddling clothes, and
laid him In the manger. because there no
room for them In the Inn" MIR. Moody preach
cd from the same passage. An overflow meet
ing was held In the small hall.

NOT TIE SCI SERPENT.
The Monster that Capt. erosion saw SPORT
ing in Luke Michigan.

From the Mbrdutes Wisconsin FEB IL.
Capt. William Crosston of the schooner
Mcdius relates the p irticultrs OF n novel scene
and novel FISH. or serpent, that he saw yester-
day while walking along the lake blun In the
vicinity Of North Point. The day was 40 fright
and beautiful that the Captain took a stroll IN
that neighborhood, taking along with him a
large and very nne marine glass. with which 70
observe Whatever Of Interest might offer itself.
While gazing on upon the lake, inspecting tue
floating ice, the Captains attention was riyeted
by peculiar IN otion OF the water, at a distance
81 perhaps mile from shore. The water seem .
ed TO heavc. As n from some active cause direct
ly underneath. Putting the full force OF his
glass upon the SPOT, toe captain waited deVel-
opmenis.
suddenly,a black object appeared for an in
stant and then sank quietly out Of sight. Again
the object appeared aud disappeared.
The Captain thought II probable that II was a
huge cask, half submerged rising and falling
with the swell. In this he was soon undeceived,
for while he carefully watched, he saw NON
strous serpent, MALT fish. swiftly dart from the
su face. and leap with tremendous velocity up
ward aud forward. forming a curve which very
clearly showed the SIZE and shape. Long after
the mead hid again disappeared beneath the
waves the curve was exhibited, showing the
animal to be extremely long. rne water was
lashed TO a foam and seemed colored with
blood, a. though the serpent fish had been iu-
JuIed In some manner ana was bleeding.
The Captain waited long and anxiOusly for a
temperance OF the huge monster, but nothing
more WIS seen Of the new visitor.
The Captains description OF tho SERPENT Is
very distinct and vivid. notwithstanding tho
shOrtness OF the time granted him to take OBJ
sctvation. IIe says the head was formed some
thing like fish. but more hike a serpent-hav
Ing huge mouth with a double row Of teeth.
the Captain has frequently seen whales (having
commenced his nautical career on whaler)
and he AYERS that never has he seen such a
mouth before. The body was built closely up
To- the head-and IN size appeared to be fully rs
large a. an ordinary hogshea1 preserving its
shape throughout, with the exception Of the
tail. which WAS like that Of 1sh.
The strange mixture had great nns-thtee In
mum ber-on either side. and As he shot up into
the air these fms waved like large Il rs. They
appeared vari-cniored. and, rs the Captain as
serts, showed red, white and blue. This appar-
ent patriotism " : owing to the action OF the
suns rays, doubtless. But the Captain distinct
~ asserts That he saw Tn 'se colOrs, a. II In q
DAG, not only on the fms, but In stripes on
the body. Ia fact he makes the serpent ont Ia
be a sort Of animated barber pole floating
around. waiting for July Fourth.
one fact which was forgotten In the above
description IA that the animal spouted water
thirty feet high.
