Speci Correspondence OF the Appeal
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Casey Young has
acu., ID another triumph. He has secured
from the committee on public buildings and
grounds a report which only wants one vote
that of Mr.. Jones-of being unanimous,
in favor of Tennessee marble over all other
materials for the construction of the Mem
phis customhouse. This report is the result
of patient investigation, and rests upon the
evidence of all the architects and stonecut-
tiers of Washington, except Mr.. Clemence A.
DiddeD, who, however, was forced to admit
that marble was preferable to sandstone, and
that the material for building, as classified
by the committee, was that which architects
generally adopted. The following is COM

There never was House that was 80 unfortu.

Some of the radical newspapers are deuounc
log Gov. Cochran for not reprieving the two
negro men who were hung 10 Delaware last
Friday for cutraging white woman. The ex.
treme penalty Of the Law is not applicable to as
many crimes as it should be, but of those to
which it can be applied there is 20 one that
comes within its reach more Justly than that of
which the two felons alluded to were convicted,
and the color of their skin more than that OF
their guilt is the cause Of tho radical howl for
tho execution of the laws sentence upon them.
