Interesting Details and Comments.
A WOMAN IS THE CASE—A SKETCH OF MRS
BELKNAP.
[Philadelphia Times.]
T.iho a fearful hurricane has swept over
the political and social world of Washington,
the revolting story of crime and corruption
involving the Secretary of War, and sadder
still, setting forth the fact that his wife re
ceived the bribes. The maiden name of
Mrs. Belknap, third wife of the Secretary of
War, was Miss Tomlinson, of Harrodsburg,
Kentucky. She was first married to Mr.
Bower, and was the sister of General Belk
nap’s second wife, who died in the latter
part of December, 1870, and in consequence
of her death there was no reception at the
White House on New Year’s day, 1*71.
Mre. Bower, who was then a widow, was the
guest of the Secretary of War during her
sister's brief married life, and upon the death
of Mrs. Belknap Mrs. Bower took charge
of the infant that her sister left. The child
died in the West, and Mrs. Bower, after a
trip to Europe, took up her residence in
General Belknap’s home in Washington.
During the ensuing winter the handsome,
dashing widow presided with rare grace at
the dinner parties and receptions that he
gave. She is about thirty-five years ot age,
of tall, commanding presence, with dark,
lustrous eves, and a flashing smile that dis
closes a most perfect set of teeth.
Remarkably brilliant color, together with
other personal charms, has given Mrs. Belk
nap the reputation of bei..g one of the hand
somest ladies in Washington. Her fine cul
ture and fascinating manners won Gen.
Belknap's heart, and he married her just two
vears after her sister’s death. Since she
assumed the duties of a lady of the Cabinet
her receptions have been among the most
popular, and her manuer has been charac
terized by agenial warmthandelegauce. She
professed not to care for the whirl of fash-
iouable society into which she was thrown,
but rather to prefer the quiet of her home
and the society of her husband and beauti
ful child, little “Alice,” who has been the
pet of her mother’s guests. Still, Mrs.
Belknap is a woman possessed of great am
bition, and indulged the most ardent hope
that her husband would have been elected to
the Senate. Worth furnished all her toilets.
Her reeplion and evening dresses were mag*
nificent. Her neck aud arms are of faultless
beauty, and the diamonds which flashed on
them were of great value, often being me n
tioned as among the must elegant worn in
Washington.—Many of these jewels were
the wedding presents from Gen. Belknap,
who, it is now known, received dishonestly,
certain sums of money previous to his mar
riage with Mrs. Bower. Brilliant has been
the Secretary of War and Mre. Belknap’s
social reign, and melancholy beyond des
cription is the social and official downfall that
marks one of the most painful phases of un
bridled love of gain.
Gen. Belknap, who succeeded Gen. Raw
lings as Secretary of War in 1869, shortly
after the death of that brilliant young officer,
was of a military family. His father was
Gen. Won. G. Belknap, and he was named
after Gen. Worth. He wa3 born at New*
berg, N. Y., September, 1829, and is con
sequently about forty-seven years of age.
He graduated at Princeton in 1848, and was
contemporary of Heister Clymer, of Pennsyl
vania, who presented articles of impeachment,
and George M. Robeson, Secretary of the
Navy. He studied law with H. Caperton,
at Georgetown, D. C., and with Hon. Ralph
P. Lowe practiced at Keokuk, Iowa, where
he located in 1851. He entered the array
as major of the Fifteenth Iowa Infantry,
serving during the war with the army of the
Tennessee, participaing in the battle cf
Shiloh, the sieges ot Corinth, Vicksburg,
Atlanta, and after Atlanta marched with
Sherman to the sea. Ho was breveted
Major General before the final muster out
in 1865, when he was regarded by Sherman
and others as one of the most accomplished
and promising young officers in the service.
He was married three times. His first wife
was the sister of Mrs. Hugh T. Reid; the
second was the accomplished Miss Tomlin
son, of Keokuk, Iowa, and the third her sis
ter, Mrs. Bower, whom he married some
two years ago in Kentucky.
