THE MOsT BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN WASH
INGToN-The house occupied by the Russian
legation is one of the most elegant in the city,
and is very handsomely furnished, but we had
little opportunity of noticing our surroundings,
after we were shown into the elegant parlor,
and our names announced distinctly mme-
diatcly Nine. de Catacazy swept toward us,
and we were electrified by her beauty. All
the reports we had heard of her had failed to
give us any idea of her magnifcence. She
was dressed in the richest of black velvets,
made with train, and the loose Turkish sacque
she wore, of the same material, was heavily
embroidered In gold. But this rich trimming
was scarcely more dazzling in effect than her
wealth of golden hair. This hair, which all ad-
init is natural in quantity as we'll as in hue, is
of that miraculous color about which painters
rave, and in looking at it, any degree of rapt.
ure seems admissible. And in addition, this
superb woman possesses complexion of re-
markable clearness and perfect form. Then,
too, the atmosphere of courts is about her, and
she makes one understand what innate majesty
is possible to beauty. Mr.. Sumner speaks Of
her as ''that splendid woman" and the adjec.
tive applies literally. f
But, alas! she is not an American, for she
told us with very pretty accent that she chad
not that honor" And she speaks but little
English, and rs we dared little French in her
our conversation was of the most linn.

tertain US, and amiably used what English
words she could command, and when we said
it seemed rude in US to force her, o stranger,
to use our language, she protested! "Oh no."

A SCHOOL FIND SENSATION

The school fund fraud investigation is
already furnishing food for the sensation
mongers. The following dispatch sent 10
the Louisville Commercial is a spec
men:
NASHVILLE, April 1.-The following
facts have been ascertained by the Legis-
lative Committee now in session here
and it is believed the figures here given
will be approximate in accounting for the
sacred school fund Of the State.
The school taxes collected for assess
ments of 1866 and 81, amounting to
about 5000, 600, have, with the exccp-
ton of $780, 900, been distributed within
the past wear among the counties for
school purposes. The school taxes col
lected from the assessment Of 1868 and
80, amounting to $500, 900, have been
devoted by the State authorities 20 State
expenses other than common schools
OF the proceeds of the gold returned
from the South as assets of the Bank of
Tennessee, $500, 600 have been used in
the State Of New York to ray the inter
est of some of the bonds of'thc State
falling due OF the million and a half ~
the school fund loaned 10 the Bank of
Tennessee, for the use of which that III
stituiion agreed 20 pay annually for com
mon schools, 500, 600 were scattered 30
the winds by various appropriations dur
ring the war.
The committee are pursuing the inves-
tigation with closed. doors, and much Of
this must be guess-work. For instance,
the report of the Comptroller submitted
to the Legislature at the beginning Of the
session in October, 1867, shows that the
tax-levy for school purposes for 1866 and
1867, amounted to $751;, 00S.66, nearly
all of which must have been collected
The disbursements in 1867 and 1868, aC-
cording to the Comptroner's report,
amount to s464, SIS. 81, being 1912, 1909
less than the taxes for school purposes in
1856 and 1867. The Comptroller reports
the school tax for 1868 and 1869 at
$3.50, 600, the most of which must have
been collected at the time he sent his re-
port TO the Legislature, the 9th Of October
So the Comptroller or the author of this
dispatch must be mistaken as to the
amount of the school fund money col
lected in those years. As TO the statement
in regard to the school fund proper, there
was no legislative body TO make tie ''yari-
Gus appropriation" claimed TO have been
made durinx the wal, and the reports Of
the Bank of Tennessee which show clearly
where all the funds Of that institution are
or did go, indicate nothing of the kind.

A REPORT comes from Washington That
in consequence of the admission Of Gen.
Ames as q Senator from Mississippi, in
opposition to the report Of the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, leading
members will ask to be relieved from
further service on the committee. The
reports of the committee on measures of
reconstruction that have come before the
Senate during the past two or three
months have been utterly disregarded by
the majority Of the Senate. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that the majority Of
the Senators have no regard for the pro-
visions of the constitution, where they
conflict with partisan ascendency in the
Southern States.

The impudence of Radical oftice-hold-

is a specimen, furnished by the Washing

zettc, (Radical,) in his letter Of April /
''Mayor Bowen has requested the Pres
ident to interfere in behalf of his City
Hall ring. Bowen wants all Republicans
in Government employ instructed to sup
port him in his contest for denomination,
and all turned out who refuse to at least
keep still. The President very decidedly
refused to interfere To-day Bowcn's
man Friday took delegation up to see
the President and fortify Bowen in his
demand. The success Of these impudcnt
impositions upon the Government were
not of hattering character. Tonight
the same set had planned a serenade, but
a heavy rain secured a little peace at the
White House.
