KNAPP, for lobbying the Kentucky Central
claim through the War Department, is
one Caleb 7. Marsh, now by the grace of
Congressman Clymer in Canada Marsh
was a mutual friend of Pendfeton and the
Belknaps, and was in a position to OBJ
tain the true inwardness of the Ken
lucky claim swindle. What he does not
know about it is probably not worth know
ing. and it seems tOlerably certain that
Mr.. Clymer was aware of this prior to his
methodical ;arelessness in permitting q
Marsh to escape. 1t appears, moreover,
that Mr.. Bass, Republican member of the
investigating committee, advised strongly
against the the dismissal of Marsh and
urged his retention under control of the
committee until the impeachment pro-
ceedings should be concluded. But Clymer
could not see it in that light, and as soon
as Marsh had finished his testimony
against Belknap the great investigator
suddenly lost interest in his witness. The
discovery of Pendleton's name in sus-
picious contiguity with that of the ex-
Secretary had cast a chill over his sub
lime ardor for finding out things, and
paralyzed his zeal in the pursuit of in
formation Mr. Clymer was evidently
hunting for Republican rascals exclusive

Richard III. Dana, ir., of Boston, has
been appointed Minister to England vice
Robert G. Schenck, recalled or resigned,
we do not know which. This is in re-
sponse to awakened public opinion. The
President is manifestly alive to a sense
of duty. and is accepting advice for the
want of which he has heretofore suffer.
ed The idea that he would not remove
man under fire is also exploded.

/ fire, but he goes out nevertheless. 1t is
to be hoped that Schenck will clear him.
self Of the damaging charges in connec.
tion with the Emma Mine, but even il
there was no fraud intended or practic-
ed, he rendered himself unworthy of the
high position by allowing the use Of his
name as Director, and also by habits to
which reference has heretofore been
made.
We believe that Gen. Schenck is a
drunkard and gambler; that he is dis.
honest, we have no evidence. He is a
sound Republican; not so Dana, his sue.
cessor. He ran for Congress against
Gen. Butler, the regular Republican nom.
inee. Schenck rendered valuable serv-
ice, and received an honorable wound, in
aiding to put down Democratic treason,
while Pendleton was as base rebel at
heart as either Vallandigham or jeff Da-
Wis. Now the Gazette wants Pendleton
to be supposed a very innocent man un-
til proven guilty while the crippled Union
soldier must "clear himself of the dana.
ging charges alleged against him. We
admit that we have no patience with
such papers as the Gazette, and we hope
no Republican will be led astray by its
false reasoning, or attempt at reasoning.
1t is unreasonable, unfair, and doing all
in its power to destroy the Republican
party.

I
1t will be remembered how it worked
for the conviction of Babcock, and al
ter he had fair trial, and was
honorably acquitted, still howled after
him. 1t is quite different when a big
Democrat is about to be roped in. This
is how it takes the other tack and whines
when the pure Democrats are caught:
HON. GEO. II. PENDLEToS
There was an article in the Washing
ton Capital, of Sunday, on the Belknap
case, in which reference was made to the
Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton, of this city.
The substance of that article was tele-
graphed to two of our morning contem-
poraries. The story is this: The Ken
tucky Central Railroad Company had a
claim against the government for over
100000, which Stanton, Schofield, and
Rawlins, had successively refused to al
low. Upon the appointment Of Belknap
or very soon thereafter, the claim was al
lowed through the influence of Mrs Bow
ers, now Mrs Belknap, for which she re-
ceived a considerable sum from the rep
resentative of the railroad company-Mr
Pendleton. This is the report Upon
reading it, Mr.. Pendleton Immediately
telegraphed Hon. Hester Clymer, Chair
man oil the investigating Committee. de-
nying the statement emphatically, and
demanding an immediate investigation.
He also telegraphed Senators Stevenson
and Thurman, and Representatives Say
Ter and Banning. asking them to enforce
his request. These dispatches, with
Capital article, will be found printed in
another place.
R;rht hara mo Haoira 10 ear that vao
pie should be exceedingly cautious, at
this time, about crediting reports and
coupling the names of public men with
frauds The public mind is excited and
sensitive, and liable to be easily impress
ed. No time is taken for reflection or
consideration. Besides, it is sought to
make political capital out of the fall of
Belknap, and to offset this there are 9th
ers who would be glad to connect Demo
Gratis with the scandal There is no jus
tice in this. 1t is not the right thing to
do. Every good man feels keenly the
disgrace brought upon the country by
Belknap, and there is no political capi-
tai in it, and none will be made out of it.
Neither is there political capital to be
made by duplicating Democrats, IT there
are Democrats liable to be implicated
Furthermore, while we want every guilty
man punished, we hope and trust the
bottom of this terrible scandal has been
reached.
In regard to the particular case to
which we refer, we have no special in
formation; but we are not prepared to
believe or suspect that Geo. Ii. Pendle-
ton, who has lived in this city as a pri-
vate citizen and public man. without the
shadow of cloud upon his character,
could SO far forget himself as to bribe a
woman to secure the passage of claim
through the War Department Mr.. Pen
dletons denial is entitled to stand-cer-
tainly until the contrary is proved.
That is the sound principle in all such
cases; but why not let Babcock have the
benefit Of his denial2 He had as good a
character and reputation as has Pendle-
ton, or any other Democrat, either in
Cincinnati or any other place; yet his de-
nial went for nothing. The Gazette

he did so, and jury unanimously, and
without the least hesitancy, acquitted
him, the Gazette refused to acquiesce.
