: Secretary Stanton haa applied to
the Committee on Appropriations of the
House of Representative? for an approprU
ation for the purchase of the building in
Washington known as Ford's Theatre,
which was taken possession of, by order
of the President, after the tragic affair
which, occurred there.. It. was at first
. proposed to make it a depository of rebel
archives, but there are not sufficient of
such papers to need so large a; building.
For the use of the Surgeon's Department
of the army, with its immense and valu
able records of the dead and wounded sol
. diers of the regular and volunteer army,
and of those discharged for sickness, this
building would be a proper receptacle, and
for such purpose it is now designed to
.use it: .
- By an order from the War Department,
dated December 28, 18G5, and published
January 10, 18GG, there were mustered
. out of the Uuited States service, 21 Major
Generals, 57 Brevet Major Generals, and
46 Brigadier Generals, making a total of
124 of the "gentlemen with stars," who
are thus restored to private life. Orders
have also been issued to the different
department commanders to forward a list
of all general officers in their commands
whose services can be dispensed with.
.The work of retrenchment goes bravely on.
- The Washington Star savs : There is
not the slightest foundation for the story
just now so industriously circulated, to
the effect that Secretary Stanton's broken
health will compel him to resign and
seek recuperation in a foreign mission.
Secretary Stanton is not only in excellent
health, but expects to outlive the copper
heads who are working so zealously to
displace hiai.
The National House of Representatives,
by the decisive vote ot 116 to 54, have
enacted that "from all laws or parts of laws,
prescribing the qualifications of electors
for any office in the District of Columbia,
the word while be and the same is hereby
stricken out, and that from and dfter the
passage of this act no person shall be dis
qualified from voting at any election held
in the said district on account of color."
The Mormons are becoming daily
more defiant in a disregard of their obli
gations to the Federal Government. It
is quite likely that a power unseen is
tempting these wretches to a deserved
doom, and that at the proper time the
Government will !ay its heavy hand on
polygamy, TJrighaai Young and his pros
titutes. Hon. Marcus L. Ward was inaugu
rated Governor of New Jersey, on Tuesday,
at Trenton. In his inaugural, he urged
the adoption by the State of the constitu
tional amendment, returns thanks to the
kofdiers, and expresses full faith in the
policy and ability of President Johnson.

Execution or Mrs. Martha Grin
der, tlie Female Poisoner.
SHE COSTESSES HER GUILT, AND ACKNOWLEDGES
THE JC8T1CE Of HIB FUSISHMK3T.
Pittsburg, January 20, 1866.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian : '
Mrs. Martha Grinder, the modern Bor
gia, was yesterday hanged to death in the
yard adjoining the jail in this city, on the
gallows used one week prior for the exe
cution of Freck and Marshall. Death', in
any aspect it may present itself unto our
observation, is a something terrible to
contemplate : surely the 6udden, the vi
olent death of a woman by the hideous
machinery of the law,, is the most soul
sickening and terrible of all! By com
mon' consent, ' woman is invested "with
certain attributes whereby she is rnado to
take rank only a little lower than the
angels, and it is assiduously taught us
that to love, cherish, and protect her, who
is the weaker vessel, i3 the perfection of
chivalry. So that, to be obliged to mete
out to her pains and punishments, is pe
culiarly repugnant to our feelings ; and
especially vhen the punishment is death,
does it ieem to us that by its imposition
we are guilty of a transgression of a law
strong: as a divine commandl" But it
should be remembered that by making
herself amenable to punishment- by that
act, a woman unsexes herself, and is enti
tled to be looked upon no longer as a wo
man, but as a criminal. And though it
may outrage our finer feelings and percep
tions, it would be a spirit of false chivalry
which would refuse to mete out that pun
ishment as impartially to one of sterner
mould, though not of .more damning de
pravity of heart.
HER CRIME. . '; .. .
Though Mrs.' Grinder waa accused of
producing the death" of some half-dozen
persons through the agency of poison, it
was for the murder especially, cf Mrs.
Mary Caroline Caruthers that she was
found guilty and sentenced to be hung.
Mrs. Caruthers resided, with hertusband;
in Alleghany City; in a house adjoining
the one occupied by Mrs. Grinder. Du
ring : the month ot June la3t, in accep
tance of an urgent invitation, she partook
of tea with Mrs. Grinder. To break bread
together has from time immemorial been
considered the most sacred . symbol of
friendship, and even among heathen na
tions a man was safe from haVrn or hurt
from his deadliest enemy whilo at table
with him. How do we find Mrs. Grinder
regarding this strongest of all social laws ?
About 9 o'clock the same evening, Mrs.
Caruthers took violently ill, when a med
ical man was called, who pronounced her
suaenng the xesult of poison introduced
into her system. She recovered from this
attack, but shortly afterward : took sick
again, with precisely the same symptoms
as Deiore. in tnis condition she contin
ued to suffer and sink until the seventeenth
day, when she died. During her entire
illness, Mrs. Grinder was unremitting in
her attentions to her victim, and would
readily hav been mistaken for an angel
of mercy, instead of the fiend she really
was. But the nature of her attentions
may be inferred,, aside from .her confes
sion, from the fact that Mr. Caruthers at
this time also took sick, with the fame
symptoms attempting his wife, and was
only, saved from death by a Providential
overruling of events. Her kind offices
were those of the siren to the mariner
the more surely to lead on to destruction.
UROUGIIT TO JUDGMENT. '
The bringing pf Mrs. Grinder to judg
ment was the inevitable working of a law
immutable as God himself. "The guilty
shall not go unpunisJied." The suddenness
of Mrs. Caruthers' death the peculiar
circumstances surrounding it other sus
picious events before thought of but mo
mentarily, now risen to view clothed
in garb to attract attention these, and a
thousand other links, each comparatively
unimportant in itself, went to make up
the chain which should drag to shameful
death the guilty creature. Just here, it
will suffice to say that, superinduced by
a suspicion of foul play, an examination
of the body of Mrs. Caruthers was had,
which disclosed the presence of a deadly
poison. As it impelled by a common im
pulse
IhAllCinH mm til. . . ft
sprang to point to Mrs. Gnnder as the
guilty agent, and she was speedily arres
ted and lodged in jail. At first she man
ifested the utmost indignation, and denied
anything and everything; and it may be
added, that down to the day before the
execution, she was vehement and consis
tent in declaring that she was innocent.
THE TRIAL. ... -
The trial came on in October, and lasted
several days. Both the prosecution and
the defense were represented by the ablest
talent at this bar. Witness after witness
was called and heard, and their combined
testimony left no doubt that the prisoner,
was indeed guilty. The jury had no dif
ficulty, in arriving at this decision, and
returned bc verdict of "guilty of murder
in the first degree.', The death warrant
was duly signed by the Governor, and the
19th January named aa the day for the
execution.
THE MENTAL STATUS OF TILE PRISONER.
What was the object of the murder?
What end did the prisoner hope to ac
complish by her deed of infernal cruelty ?
These questions began to be asked by the
curious, and no satisfactory answer appear
ing, by a . system of logic more convenient
than correct, it was concluded that. she
must' be insane. To such an extent did
this idea obtain, that because a woman
had committed a heinous crime, and be
cause the motive of that crime remained
hidden from the public view, it therefore
followed that she was out of her proper
senses at. tho time of the commission of
the deedad not .amenable to the law
to such an extent did this idea obtain,
that the authorities at Harrisburg were
constrained to send a medical commission
to inquire into and decide upon the ques
tion of tho mental status of the prisoner.
This commission consisted of Dr. ; John
Curwin, of the State Lunatic Asylum at
Harrisburg, Dr.' J. R. Reed, of the Dix
mont Insane Hospital, and Dr. James S.
King, of this city. The commission vis
ited the prisoner in jail on Tuesday even
ing: last, and atrain on Wednesdav
mgr. 'inev instituted a most Oinmn-tli
rr i
.iney instituted a
investigation into her moral and mental
condition, and,' notwithstanding ' "it has
been doubted that doctors can aree, were
Unanimous ;in deelar,ng4hat nt taint of
insanity attached, to '.her.L 'It had been
previously agreed by the State authorities
tbtkt the decision of the commission should
be-final that no interference with the
course of the law would be had if their
finding was adverse to the prisoner. '
NO RAY OF HOPE., V '
. .On Wednesday, Mrs.. Grinder, who for
obvious reasons had been kept . in igno
rance of the fact that her mental status
was being passed upon by the three men,
was informed of the ' commission and of
their finding. ,. Up to this' time, she had
clung to the hope that she would be indef
initely reprieved before the fatal' day-; but
now for the first time, !f she fully realized
her 'situation, and began to prepare for
death.' .Her'spiritual adviser was the Rev,
Dr. Holmes, of the 31. Church who
labored unceasingly to point her soul to
God. ' .; ; .;. ',
' " HER CONFESSION. " . -
With the certainty of early death sta
ring her in the face, and well knowing
that "only the pure, in heart shall see
God,"; is it any wonder that the wretched
woman on Thursday made a full confes
sion, of her crimes? :;Her guilt had all
along been too apparent to admit of. doubt,1
but by her own admission, what, before
was a moral certainty was reduced to an
absolute certainty, and the public verdict
justified. Her.; confession 13 in these
words I. , :.;.;'., j,,.-.; . . J
"Pittsbcbg, .January 18, 1866; In view of
my departure in a lew hours irony earth,. I

the case of Mrs. Caruthers, and also in the
case of Mi33 Buchanan. But I am innocent
of all the other charges made against me in

I have been, I feel that God, for Christ's sake,

'! HER OTHER VICTIM. - .
Miss Buchanan, the Mother victim re
ferred -to, was a young "Irish' girl whom
Mrs. Grinder had prevailed upon to enter
her service as a servant. On the second
day after she had taken up her residence
in the house, she fell sick, and in four
days was a corpse. Mrs. Grinder pro
fessed the greatest concern for her during
her illness, and apparently did everything
in her power to alleviate her sufferings.
At the same time she was deliberately aud
systematically administering to her the
fatal drug which was surely robbing her
of her existence ! What the object of the
fiend incarnate was in : thus murdering
this poor, inoffensive girl is not known.
Pending the excitement concerning the
murder of Mrs. Caruthers, the remains of
Miss Buchanan were disinterred, when a
scientific examination discovered the pres
ence of antimony in the stomach.
: THE EXECUTION.
At 12.30 o'clock yesterday, the prelim
inary arrangements ior the execution were
begun. At that hour the Sheriff visited
the cell of the condemned woman, and,
with strips of strong muslin, securely
pinionea her arms. She profested her
readiness to undergo the dread ordeal,
saying "I am ready; Christ will be with
me' After a prayer by Dr. Holmes, she
was supported to the scaffold. Arriving
there, she sat down on a chair, while
another prayer was offered up in her be
half. The noose was then adjusted about
her neck, the white cap was drawn over
her face, and those on the scaffold with
drew. There 'was a touch. of the fatal
trigger, a sudden downward plunge of the
body, and the woman was hanging mid
way between heaven and earth. Her soul
had gone to the ghostly shades of another
world, into the presence of her victims. .
THE END. . ,
" The woman died of strangulation. The
noose caught just forward of the left ear,
and so the fall failed to dislocate the neck.
She was allowed to hang a half hour, when
the physicians pronounced her dead, and
she . was cut down. At night, the body
was removed to Hilldale Cemetery and
interred. . - ; , , , .
And thus perished from off the face of
the earth, one who was a fiend a demon
incarnate a foul blot upon the very name
of teaman. Mav we never, never, never
look upon her like again. I Alpha.

Congress does not soon modify the taxes
some fifteen in number levied upon
tnose puousmng dooks in this country,
the entire book publishing busiuess of the

to print them here. Congress; we. trust,

' Advice to Soldiers and Sailors.
The Solders and Sailors' National Union
League of Washington, D. C, has issued
a circub.r to. all honorably discharged sol
diers and sailors of our army and navy,
which treats upon the subject of dischar
ges from service." Many who sctved
during the whole,' or a portion of the war
for : the suppression r of . the rebellion, , are
selling or offering for sale their discharges.
It is to be regretted that many of these
men are willing for the sake of a few dol
lars to sell the certificates of the part they
have performed in saving our beloved
country from destruction, and we unite
with the League in begging them to con
sider well the importance of such a step.
The. discharge certificate of a soldier- or
sailor is the only evidence he possesses of
having served throughout his term of en
listment with honor untioged by any dis
graceful or cowardly act ; it will ever be
a pass to them for obtaining: honest em
ployment, or position in the walks of civil
life, and is the only voucher which enables
him to claim or receive from time to time
such benefits and. blessings as a free and
grateful .people through their Congress,
will undoubtedly bestow upon its country
saviours, particularly in their old age.
The League wisely suggests to every hen
orably discharged soldier and sailor to
have his certificate recorded in the county
olerk's office of the county : wherein he
resides, so that in the event of the loss
of his discharge in any manner, there
will be record evidence of the same.
