The Custom House Quarry.

In company with Hon. Horace Maynard, SUI
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Mr.. Browning, we took
a drive yesterday to the mouth of the French
Broad, to examine the marble quarry from
which the stone for the Custom House and Post
Office building is brought, For lease of two
hundred dollars the Government gets all the
marble they will need for this large building.
The quarry is large bluff projecting right
over the river and the stone is transferred by
derrick to the boat and landed at the wharf in
this city at twelve cents per foot. We some
splendid pieces of marble twelve and fifteen feet
long Some twenty-five men are employed at
the quarry, and they are getting out the finest
lot of marble we have ever seen. We doubt
whether such splendid building material WAS
ever before quarricd and delivered at the build
ng as cheap as the Government gets this. In
every department of this work the authorities at
Washington are getting their work done low,
and in the best style. There are no Jobs about
it, but in the contracts the work and material
everything is honestly done, rejecting great
credit on Mr.. Maynard, who has had general
supervision of the mater and on Messrs. Wids
and Browning in charge of the work itself

Horse Thieves Caught.

On last week two men stole horse and bug
gy from Capt. james Bell, in Atlanta, and
made their way TO East Tennessee They stop
ped at the house of Rev. Mr.. Russell, between
Loudon and Kingston, to ascertain their route
and proceeded short distance beyond hating
at spring TO refresh themselves. In n few
moments after they had passed, Capt. Bell and
another gentleman came up and asked Mr..
Russell if he had seen two men in buggy and
described them, which description Tailed with
those who had just left.
On being informed of their character, Mr.,
Russell took his gun and went with Capt. Bell
and his companion to arrest them. The scoun-
drels saw the party coming, however, and took
to the woods, leaving the horse and buggy,
which was re-captured One of the thieves
was captured in thickct considerable dis
lance off, but the other escaped The captured
rascal had large number of keys of different
sizes and styles in his possession.
Capt Bell carried his prisoner back to At
lanta, whore he will doubtless be tried for his
offenses and meet with speedy punishment

that county by Brown, Christie and Franklin,

PROF. COPE on EVOLUTION.

The address of Prof. Cope on the Evolution
of Organic Types, printed in this number of
THE TRIBUNE, will, perhaps, fail to attract
the interest of unscientitic readers, but it
seems to be one of the most important papers
yet presented to the learned Association
whose proceedings at Indianapolis we have
so fully recorded. Briefly, Prof. Cope accepts
the Darwinian theory of variation and natural
selection; but he objects, list, that while the
observations and reasoning of Darwin justify
us in assuming the derivation of one species
from another, they do not prove that genera
separated by important structural differences
have been evolved in the same way and,
secondly that while the principle of natural
selection accounts for the preservation of
"the fttest,n and the elimination of the
weak, it leaves the origin OF the fit
test entirely untouched. Prof. Cope be-
lieves that the improved theories of e%olu-
ton can he established in another way
namely, by showing an identity between the
young and incompletely developed individuals
of the higher types and the adults of the in
ferior ones. The process by which from this
starting point he arrives at the theory that
the variation of species is the result of
acceleration or retarddtOn of growth, is too
elaborate to be traced ont here, and we
must refer our readers for an explanation
to the address itself. We can only say
that he furnishes an ingenious contribu-
ton to the arguments in support of Dar-
wins Fundamental hypothesis, and that he has
probably set text for great deal of scien-
tifc discussion.
Darwin accounted for the "origin of the
"iittest" by assuming constant tendency to
variation in nature, otherwise there could have
been no material for the exercise of selection.
Prof. Cope refers the change to the process of
acceleration of growth, and accounts for this
by various influences acting upon the growth
force-namely, physical and chemical causes,
use and effort. Touching the last, he in
dulges in a curious speculation: suppose
"there were no part or organ to use. Such
"must have been the condition of every ami
"ma prior to the appearance of an addi-
"tional digit or limb .. | am disposed
"to believe that the growth force may
"be by the volitiOn Of the animal rs readily de-

Gen. Buffers reconnaissance at Springfield
has drawn the fire of the whole line. 1t has
shown the opposition he is likely to encounter
from the Republicans of New-England, but
we shall be disappointed in the sentiment OF
the Massachusetts, people if it prove to have
done him any good. The General is reported
to have once said that he never knew really
comfortable life until he lost the last shred OF
his reputation and he seems to be now acting
upon the principle that he cannot make
really vigorous and unembaTassed campaign
until he has sacrificed the last of his possible
friends, and secured the embittered hostility OF
all the most prominent leaders of the party to
which be processes allegiance. We have spoken
elsewhere of the theories of political economy
which formed the text of this extraordinary
discourse. Apart from these it seems to have
consisted of financial statements which the
Boston papers have completely refuted, and
personal attacks to which Mr.. Sanborn and
Gen. Hawley reply with vigor worthy OF
Gen. Butler himself.

TILE RTEEENRARGER C4SE.

The examination in the famous poisoning
case at Columbus has ended, as every one has
recently foresecn that it must end, in the hon
orabe discharge of the accused lady Not a
suspicious circumstance has been brought
home to her. One or two witnesses who
testified to trivial incidents supposed to ind-
cate that she had no love for her first hus-
band have been discredited by their own be-
bayior on the stand. Mrs. COlburn is repre-
scntcd to have been an afiectionate and faith
ful wife, trusted by her husband to the
very hour of his death; while the
instigators of the prosecution bear, whether
Justly or not, an unenyiabe reputation. Add
TO all this that four years were allowed to
pass after the death of Buffenbarger before the
charge of poisoning was made, although the
prosecutor Thompson, declares that he knew
from the first that the old man was murdered
and finally that the family physician testifes
distinctly that the death was caused
by consumption, and was not attended by any
of the symptoms of aISenical pOisoning-and
we have an array of facts in Mrs. Colburs
favor which only the most direct evidence
could have overcome.
But there is a mystery in the case which has
still TO be unravcled. -Four years after the
death of this old man arsenic is discovered
in his stomach and liver. 1t had never
been administered incidentally, and it
is pretty clear that it had not been
given as poison. How did it get
there The theory of the defense was that it
had been Injected into the body after death
for the purpose of laying the foundation of
the present trial. 1t is conceivable that this
might easily have been done before burial, and
on that suppostion we have only TO account
for the fact that whoever devised this devil
ish scheme waited so long before taking the
next step. But if Maley Thompson was the
man, it is easy to understand why he
should not have found it convenient just then
to bring himself prominently before the
public. There was no insuperable difficulty,
however, in opening the grave at any time.
True, We are told that no evidences OF dis
turbance were discovered but the lapse of a
few weeks or months would have obliterated
all marks of the exhumation.
We presume that Mr.. and Mrs. Colbum
