The Washington Star of Friday says: Mrs
Amanda Tomlinson Belknap is a native OF Ken
lucky, and sustains the reputation the women OF
that State enjoy for beauty OF face and form. Her
sisters and herself have been reckoned among the
handsomest women of the State. Her father was
DR.. Tomlinson of Harrodsburg, KY, one of .
highly respected family. He and his wife have
been dead several years, and several of their large
family of children have followed them to the
grave. One of his daughters is Mrs. Robt. Bow
ers of Keokuk, Iowa. Her first husband, Mr..
sisters who have at different periods visited their
aunt Mrs. Belknap in this city, one Of whom is
now Mrs. Henry Clewes of New York. Another
dau ghter was the second wife of Secretary Bel
knap, ard accompanied him to this city when he
first took charge of the portfolio of the War De-
partment. She presided cabinet lady dur
ing one winter and spring, and was accounted the
most brilliant of the Cabinet family. She was
amiable, generous and sympathetic IN disposition,
was hand. ONE in person. courteous in manner and
ready in conversation. The present Mrs. Beiknap p
to our city. She visited her sister during the
spring of 1870 in Washington, and accompanied
her during her travels in the summer Both la
dies returned to Washington early in the autumn,
and the present Mrs. Belknap faithfully nursed
her sister during the illness which preceded her
early death, and received the infant of few weeks
of age from It's dying mother and promised her
tender to the helpless little one. She tended
this baby through its brief lifetime with the same
devotion she has since manifested toward her own
little daughter who is her only child and the first
daughter of Secretary Beknap. Gen. Belknap
married his present wife two years ago, he having
been a widower for two years previous. The lit
tie girl, most promising child Is fourteen months
old.

XARSH'S ANTECEDEVTS.

A Cincinnati despatch to the New York Times
says: Z. L. Marsh, the man who gave evidence
before the House Committee involving Secretary
Belknap and family, was for many years a resi-
dent of this city. He was a member of the hard
ware manufacturing firm of Tyler, Davidson 4
Co., and Withdrew from the firm during the war
with $500. 900 in cash. After Withdrawing, he,
with his family, boarded some time at the Burnet
House, then the most fashionable hotel of the city,
and while there his wife became very intimate
with Mrs. Bowers, now Mrs. Belknap, and their
| intimacy continued for many years. During the
war Mr.. Marsh's name was connected with some
disreputable schemes, prominent among which
was that of Quartermaster Crane, who was court
martialed and dismissed from tine servve at Nash
vile on charges of corruption and fraud. In the
examination of this case it was shown that Marsh
had made large presents to Crane, something in
the same manner as in the present instance. Soon
after this, Marsh, with his family, and accompa-
MED by Mrs. Bowers, made trip to Europe,
where the whole party spent some time in travel
ing together. So far as is known here he has been
engaged in active business since his withdrawal
from the firm mentioned. Mrs. Belknap is almost
a Cincinnatian, having been raised in Harrods-
burg, KY, and having spent some time here. Her
wedding took place Dec. IL, 1873, at Harrodsburg,
which was the home of her father, DIR. John A.
Tomlinson, who died about twelve years ago.
She had previously become the wife of Mr.. Bow
ers, who was connected with the hardware house
Of +. &. Leonard, in this city. Mr.. and Mrs. Bow
ers lived at the Burnet House during their stay in
Cincinnati, and Mrs. Bowers, by her accomplish
ments and engaging manners, became valued
member of society. Her husbands eath failing,
she went with him to Cuba, where he died. 1t is
said that at his death she obtained $4,000 on an
insurance policy on his life. She had also other
property, all Of which she placed under the care
of Hon. George H. Pendleton, who man
aged it so successfully that there was turned
over to her the sum of $92, 600, which she,
it is supposed, continued to bold in her
her own right. 1t was supposed that portion at
least of this sum was invested for her by Marsh,
and the theory is advanced that the pay ments by
Mash were supposed by Belknap to he the income
from this investment. 1t is also stated that after
their return from Europe, and the marriage of
Mrs. Bowers with Secretary Belknap, a bitter
quarrel arose between Mrs. Marsh and Mrs, Bel
knap, and it is supposed these developments are
the result of this fact.
The firm of which Marsh was member fur
nished large quantities of axes and other hard
ware to Government through Crane, the Quarter
master alluded to, and it was claimed that these
contracts were procured by means Of the brbes
mentioned.
