Mb. Greely writes as follows of a vis
It to "Washington : " We spent the latter
part ot last week in Washington, anxious
ly inquiring into the political situation,
and seeking to measure the probability of
l he rumored breach between the Presi
dent and Congress touching Southern
restoration or reconstruction, and we be
lieve most of our readers will haro the
satisfaction with which we announce our
conclusion that there need be, and proba
bly will be, nonQj What maladroit, or
malignant, or tale-bearing intcrmeddlers
may achieve, we cannot foretell; but we
are confident that there is no necessary
incompatibility between the views and
purposes of Congress and those of the
President, and no desire at least, no pre
ponderant desire on either hand, to
create such incompatibility. And we feel
sure that frank, friendly conferences be
tween the Capitol and the White House
will speedily and almost certainly remove
any obstacles which may 6eeai to exist to
a cordial and thorough co-operation."
Xhe President on: Wednesday sent a
Message to the Senate, in reply to the in
quiry of (hat body why Jefferson Davis
is confined and why he is not brought to
trial. The Message covers reports from
the Secretary of War and ihe Attorney
General, and does not otherwise respond
to the Senate resolution except by refer
ring to the annual Message of the Presi-.
dent. The Secretary of War explains
that Jefferson Davis is held on charges
of treason, of inciting the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, and of starving
Union prisoners of war ; that the Presi
dent desired to have him first tried for
treason, and that the Attorney-Oeneral
advised Virginia as the most proper place
for such trial, but that the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court declines to hold a
court within the limits of that circuit.
The Attorney-General states the substance
of the opinion heretofore given by him to
! the President, and there the matter is
left.

are published and no panic or excitement
exists there, nor havo there been any
cases amon emigrants.

THE MCRDER OF JOllN HENRY FOEBSTER AVE50ED
Pittsburg, January 13, 1866.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian:
Through the courtesy of Sheriff Stew
art, I was yesterday accorded the privi
lege of witnessing the execution of Mar
schall and Frecke, the murderers of young
Foerster. Everybody, I think, has im
planted witliin him a certain well defined
sentiment of curiosity to see and know
how the last dread sentence of the law is
carried into effect to see and know how
a man is hanged. This curiosity is con
veniently denominated a morhid one by
hum-drum dogmatists, though I am una
ble to understand why it should be deemed
rnhealthy and unnatural to look upon the
gallows, any more than to gaze atanytJiiny
removed from the common.. But, without
entering upon a discussion of an abstract
question, I will merely say that, partly
through the promptings of tbe curiosity
ppoken of, and partly with a desire to ob
tain full and reliable particulars of the
event, I was present at the execution
yesterday. The particulars I possessed
myself of, with your permission, I will
now lev before your readers.
THE MURDER.
It will be remembered that the murder
for which the two men have just suffered
the extreme penalty of the law, was com
mitted on the 23d of August last, on
Boyd's Hill, which overlooks the city, at
night. The body was found the next
riming, with the throat cut from ear to
two stab-wounds in the back, and
t other iniunes .inflicted. The remains
were removed to the Mayor's ofSce, and
exposed to public view for a considerable
length of time; but, though thousands
flocked to look, no one could identify
them. Photographs were taken of the
body and distributed all over the country,
in the hope to ascertain who the dead man
was but in vain.- It appeared as if the
bloody deed were enwrapped in impene
trable mystery, and that the actors in it
would forever remain Undiscovered to hu:
man ken. -Meantime search was kept up
with the most unwearying assiduity, but
for nearly a month not the slightest clue
to the murderers was found,
THE GUILTY SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.
When God, in His terrible wrath
against the murderer, enunciated the sol
emn warning, "Whoso sheddeth man's
blood, by man shall Aw blood be shed,"
He gave to the world a law to last for all
time. This law, from One who hath said
of himself that He "cannot lie," is assu
rance that though the 'guilty may for a
time hide his crime, in the end he shali
suroiv be founu out and punished. he

boa ui Abraham, Isaac, ana Jacob is our ,
. . i , .rr ; , . ;
Uud, and that Ue vet takes cure that no i
transgression or H;. law j-hali . ;. urrpu:.
ished is aptly shown forth' by (Ve di;C"v"ry
of the murdorers in litis vi-xt ; . vi nliien
no rrire direct interposition of Provi
dence in favcr of justice is knewu.
TnE mystery beginning to clear up.
Early on the morning of the 20th of
September, a month within three days
after the murder, a burglar was captured
by the police on Grant street, while in
the act of breaking into a house. He
was conveyed to the Tombs, where he
gave the name of Benjamin Bernhardt
Marf-chall. Subsequently, the officers
searched his house, which was on Boyd's
Hill, in quest of stolen plunder. I would
here mention that previous to this, Mar
schall had borne a comparatively good
character, and was not suspected of being
even a burglar. The search revealed vast
quantities of stolen goods' of almost every
conceivable description, the accumulation
of innumerable burglaries. Another
search was had the following day, when a
pair of pantaloons and a coat, both covered
with Hood, were discovered. A pair of
boots of peculiar make were also found,
and when it was remembered that the
boots of the murdered mac had been re
moved from his feet by the assassins, the
suspicion took form it .was only a faint
suspicion that this burglar might know
something of the murder.
the hand of god.
Two days after this, a German woman
named Miller was arrested on the charge
of keeping a depot for stolen goods.- She
acknowledged the crime, and gave the
valuable information to tho Mayor that a
man named Henry Ausrust Irecke came
to her house early on the morning after
the murder, saying that he had just ar
rived from New York in company with
Marschall and a stranger; that the two
latter had quarreled, and that he was
afraid harm would befall the stranger, es
pecially as ho had a large sum of money
about him, ot which fact Marschall was
cognizant. Not long after, Marschall
csme in, nervous and excited, and with
his clothes stained with blood.
CUT OF DARKNESS COMETH LTGnT.
On tho strength of this information,
Frecke was arrested at M'Keesport and
brought hiiher and committed to the
tombs. At first he put on an aggrieved,
iudignant air, positively denying all
knowledge of tho murder. It is note
worthy, however, that in the course of
time he "changed front" and admitted
that he not only knew of the murder, but
that he knew who it was that committed
it, charging the crime solely upon Mar
schall, and avowing his own innocence.
MARSCHALL MAKES A CONFESSION.
Up to the time when Frecke made the
statement charging that Marschall was
the murderer, the latter had retained a
dogged, defiant silence. NoW however,
he probably thought that further attempt
at concealment were useless, and so send
ing for the , Mayor, he made a full con
fession of the crime, in which he directly
implicated Frecke as an accomplice. ' The
main facts of the confession are as follows :
Marschall and Frecke, who it appears
were brother burglars, had been at New
York to dispose of the proceeds of one of
their robberies which they could not with
safety do near home. On their return,
on a boat running betweeu New York and
South Amboy, they fell in with Foerster.
By the allurement held out to him of
plenty of work and good wages, they in
duced their victim to accompany them to
Pittsburgh. Arriving here, on the pre
tense of taking him to a hotel, they escort
ed him to the most unfrequented part of
Boyd's Hill, where, with no human eye to
behold them, they foully murdered him.
Frecke first stabbed him, and Mar&chali
finished up the business by striking him
on. the head with a bar of iron. They
then possessed themselves of his effects,
consisting of between one and two hun
dred dollars in money, a gold watch, boots,
cap, &c. After which, Frecke went to
Mrs. Miller's, and Marschall went to an
other house.
FRECKE ASSERTS HIS INNOCENCE.
Frecke corroborated this confession in
so far as refers to their meeting the stran
ger on the boat and accompanying him
here, but be positively denied any and all
complicity in the murder. In thus assert
ing his innocence, he was consistent
throughout, for the very last act of his
life yesterday was to aver that he died
with hands unstained with blood.
TnE VICTIM.
Investigations set on foot by the proper
authorities" demonstrated that the mur
dered man was one John Henry Foerster,
a native of Germany. He was born in
Aix-la Chanclle in 1836, and was there
fore nearly 30 years old when he met his
death. He was a moulder by trade, and
had come to this country in search of em
ployment. , It is not known how long he
had been here before he was met by the
arch-fiends who, for the pitiful sum of less
than two hundred dollars, hurled him
into eternity but the time could not have
been long. He is represented to have
been an 'honest, industrious young man.
TnE TRIAL.
The two men were brought before the
Court of Oyer and Terminer of this coun
tv for trial at last October sessions, and
after a fair and patient hearing, were ad
judged guilty of murder in the first de
gree. The Court, in the performance of
its duty, sentenced them to be hung, and
the Governor in the death warrant named
the 12th of January as the day for the
execution.
LOOKING TO GOD FOR MELtCl'. .
When it became apparent that there
was no hope of escape irom the death they
so richly deserved at the hands of the law,
Marschall applied himself diligently to
the task of preparing himself to appear
before the bar of God. He was a sub-
scriber to the doctrines of , the Roman
,y ; .. , , P , , ,
Catholic vJhurch, and performed his devo-
. . , f . , TT
'--f d to Lave experienced a change, of
l.cart, aud indulged iu tho hope that,
l. rh lc was " the chief of sinners,"
lie would be saved. Frecke also paid at
tenticu to his spiiitual welfare, and died
trusting in uod.
AT THE GALLOWS. . , .
All the necessary arrangements having
been made to carry into effect the sentence
of the law, at one o'clock the prisoners
were pinioned . and led to the gallows,
which had been erected in the enclosure
adjoining . the jail. Frecke bore himself
with stoical fortitude under the trial and
unto the end,, betraying not so much
emotion as the tremor of a muscle. Mar
schall, on the other hand, appeared to be
totally overcome by emotion, .aud shook
like an aspen ; his knees bent under him,
and he had to be supported from falling.
The fatal npose was adjusted around the
neck, of each, when Frecke turned to
Marschall and said : " Marschall, will you
confess now that I am innocent ?" Mar
schall replied that he had nothing, to con
fess; when Trecke continued: "I.am in
nocent, aud have a clear conscience!"
Referring to the rope, he said to the
Sheriff, " make it tight I am jnnoeent,
and am not afraid to die." The,cape were
now drawn over their eyes, and the atten
dants bade the wretched men good-by.
THE LAST ACT. ; ' :
At 1:10 o'clock, the Sheriff sprang the
trap, and the two men were left banging
in mid-air. Th?y fell a distance of about
four feet. Marschall's neck was broken
by the fall, and he died comparatively
easy; but owing to tbe displacement of
the noose around Frecke's neck, the death
of the latter was protracted and painful.
The bodies were allowed to hang a half
hour, when they were taken down and de
livered to the undertaker. The body of
Frecke will be interred :h the Hilldale
cemetery ; that of Marschall in the Ger
man Roman Catholic cemetery, near Mi
nersville. . : '
And thu3 was avenged, by God and the
law, one of the most cruel, inhuman, cold
blooded murders wliicb ever disgraced the
records of any country.
: GENERALITIES. . .
With Marschall and Frecke nine per
sons have been hanged in this county up
to date. The other seven are, Tiernan, Gal
lego, Jewell, Fife, Charlotte Jones, Jacoby,
aud Evans. Another will be added to the
list on next Friday, in the person of the
notorious Mrs. Grinder, who is under sen
tence of death for the murder by poison
of several victims. ' Alpha.

After the War. The Tribune, look
ing over the field since the war, discovers
some curious things, thus : " One of our
leaders is now in charge of a machine for
patent pumping j another is building a
railway through the oil country. One of
the first soldiers of the Army ot the i'o
toniae is in the pistol business ; another
keeps a retail grocery store; while one ot
Sherman's most trusted lieutenants is a
claim acent. One Major General prints
a weeklv iournal in Baltimore. Some of
our officers were dratted into Congress j
others are on their way to distant Courts
to represent the honor of a nation they
did so much to sustain. Thssc starred
and belted gentlemen go down from the
command of cohorts to.become agents and
partners and dealers, perhaps with the
orderly who stood before their tents, or
the private who held their stirrup. So
with the Generals of tne rebellion. The
greatest of them all is uow a teacher of
mathematics in a university, buerman s
great antagonists are in the express and
railroad business. The once dreaded
Beauregard will sell you a ticket from
New Orleans to Jackson ; and, if you
want to send a couple of hams to a friend
in Richmond, Joe Johnson, once com
mander of great armies, will carry them.
The man whose works Grant moved upon
at Donelson edits an-indifferent newspa
per in Orleans, while the commander ot
the rebel cavalry at Corinth is his local
reporter. Marshall practices law in New
Orleans; Forrest is running a saw mill;
Dick Taylor is now having a good time in
New York; Roger A. Pryor is a daily
practitioner at our courts, aud so with the
rest of this bold, vindictive and ambitious
race of men. The Government asamst
which they warred is now their friend and
protector."
