DION BoucrcAuIr, the dramatic au-
thor, has written long letter to Mr..
Disraeli urging the release of the Fen
ian prisoners. He points to the fact
that the play Of "The Shaughraun"
has been witnessed by 200, 900 people
in London, and the incidents therein
concerning the supposed amnesty to
the Fcnians were always enthusiastic
ally received. In conclusion he says:
II know that toward these few miser-
able mcn are directed the sympathies
Of twenty millions of English hearts in
American breasts which sincerely re.
spect their mother country, and would
love her dearly if she would let them.
One browning stroke Of humanity
would be worth dozen master-strokes
Of policy. The great treaty to be es-
tablished with the United States is a
hearty cohesion Of the English and
American people.

Centennial Exhibition: and "a which,
the building 40 nov being erected,
e u fairmo6nt PAX This park con-
tains 5000 acres Of land, lying along
the western border Of the city, and
through which runs the Schuylkill|
river. Many events connected with
the historyof the Revolution occurred
here, and some Of the buildings used
at that time are still in perfect preser-
walton. Here in this city was read
and signed the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, giving birth to this great ma
ton. Therefore no more appropriate
place could be selected. The Park
Commissioners have set apart $50
acres exclusively for the exhibition on
the southwest bank Of the Schuylkill.
Expositions of this kind have usually
been in one building, but here there
are to be five, to-wit: Main Exhibition
Building, Art Gallery, Machinery Hall,
Horticultural Hall and Agricultural
Hall. The building now being erec-
ted for the exhibition of women's work
will make six buildings. In addition
to these, government is erecting a
beautiful edifice, and has now on the
ground some Of the largest guns in
the world. The Main Exhibition Build.
ing is in the form of parallelogram,
extending east and west, and is $3.50
feet in length by AGA in width, cover
ing an area Of over twenty acres. Upon
each corner is tower IS feet high.
The foundations consist of heavy piers
Of masonry. The superstructure is
composed of wrought iron columns,
spaced off at a uniform distance Of "a
Ifeet. There are 612 OF these columns,
the shortest being % feet and the
longest 1875 feet in length, and weigh
2,2O0. 900 pounds. The aggregate
weight of iron in the roof is 100000
pounds. The whole is so constructed
as to be easily taken apart if desired
for other uses. The building is SO
nicely arranged that all exhibitors
will have equal opportunity to exhibit
their goodc to the very best advantage.
The countries exhibiting will be loca.
ted geographically in sections running
crosswise Of the building. This mann
moth structure will cost $1,000, 900

HAYES AND WHEELER club.
ALBANY. Or, Sept. q, 1876.


Hayes and Wheeler Club met pursuant
TO adjournment. President, 3. f. Back
ensto, in the Chair.
The Glee Club entertained the audience
with several pieces of music, national and
campaign, in most excellent style, when
the President introduced Ex-Governor
Gibbs, Oregon's old War Governor. The
Governor, who is most agreeable and
ready speaker, entertained the large audi
ence at some length discussing the political
issues of the day. He gave lucid de-
scription of the two elements of the DEM
ocratic party, both of which, he MAIN
tanned, sanction principles dangerous to
the welfare of the nation, and one of which.
to tolerate at al, would be ruinous to
American liberty and prosperity, in which
latter element he placed Samuel J. Tilden,
the Democratic party's leader and stand
ard-bearer. He also presented the piinci-
pies of the modern reforner (Tilden) in
light that places him among the most foxy
.corruptionists. A comparison of the ex-
penditures of the Government under Dem
ocratic and Republicanadministra was
tAiftstSs SuICIuStNSly LudI tic 4tC-
publicans were vastly the best and most
honest. The speech was splendid effort,
| and was greeted by hearty applause
throughout.
| At the close of the address Mrs. Wyatt
favored the Club and i.s friends with a
solo, entitled ssTflden's Letter to Tweed, -
which was most successfully rendered, re-
ceiving prolonged applause. Mrs. Wyatt
has magnificent voice which has been
highly cultivated. and she done special JUS
tice to Sammy and '.Willie.''
Hon. NJ. c. George then came forward,
was introduced by the President, and spoke
for short length of time comparing the
records and former declarations of the
Presidential Candidates in regard TO polit-
ieal reform. He showed by the speeches
and writings of Gov. Hayes. that year:
ago he Hayes saw the necessity and bold
ly advocated civil service reform. while
in no single instance had Samuel j. Tilder
ever uttered word or sentence in favor o.
such reform, up to the time he wrote his
letter accepting the nomination of the st
Louis Convention. Mr.. George delivered
a most telling speech, which was received
with enthusiastic applause throughout
Neither gentleman had a fair chance
owing to the fact that the time allotted
them was too short, but both improved
the time occupied, and both speeches
bristled with strong points and telling
blows upon the so-caled reform Democ
raey. .
Then followed an excellent piece o
music by the Glee Club, which was hugel.
: enjoyed by all present. The Glee Clul
deserves special credit for the splendi
music they furnished OH the occasion. Al
: though they had little or no time for pr'
paration, vet the music was of the bes
and gave~complete satisfaction. This even
: ing they will be better prepared, with ell
tire new pieces.
On motion the Club adjourned.

and frauds committed by the Democratic
officials under the different administra-
tions from jackson to Buchanan. After
reading it you will begin to appreciate the
check of the Democratic party in claiming
to be the reform party of the nation,
and in its asking the people to give it once
more control of the Government that it
may rob and plumber.
