' If the inforuation I give concern ing tho International ExLibition is not important nowa to the readers of the Associated .Press Letters, then they had better be discontinued as it is my purpose to note from time to time what is being done, and so far as I can ascertain, what is rjronosed to be done. Some publishers aro de sirous of having the fullest infurma tion on Centennial affairs, while others enre nothinor at oil about it. Both cannot be served and my pre- lerence is with the former. From Austria over 800 applications ior space nave beon received irom those who purpose exhibiting the skill and industries of that nation. Mr. C. T. Geensinli. Director of the Technological Bureau, at Amster dam, Holland writes a letter asking that one-half the space in the Exhi bition Building allotted to the Gov ernment of the Netherlands for the display of articles produced in that country, be immediately placed at his service as representative of his Gov ernment to the American Exhibition, so that exhibitors can at once be as signed thpir respective positions in that space. , . , In J3oston , the leading manufac turers and merchants havo just now taken hold of the Centennial with a determination that must arouso all New England to tho importance of immediate action; if tho manufactur ers along tho Morrimao intend to compete with those of England, they cannot begin their work any too soon. ,, Some time afro the policemen of this city inautrurated a series of the atrical entertainments for the benefit of the Centennial, from which the sum of $ 14,700 was realized. This amount was paid to the Treasurer of the the Centennial Boad of Finance, a fow days ago. , Ihe lea party which took place in Haddonfield, a small town in New Jersey, netted $700 for the lady man agers of the party. In addition to that, $90 worth of Centennial stock was sold. Two hundred and ton dollars are yet required to enable the ladies of Haddonfield to purchase 100 shares of Centennial stock, ond that amount they purposo raising at an early day, after which they will challenge any town of an equal num ber of inhabitants to do as well. The Franklin Institute Exhibition is to be kept open until the latter part of next week. No less than 15,000 persons visit the place each day, and all appear highly delighted with the grand display of American mechanism, although some things there aro which tell a tale 'twere bet ter left nntold. For instance: Wil liam Mann (not the ex-District At torney, but the well-known blank book manufacturer of that name in this city) has a number of ponder ous blank books on exhibition, one of which is a "Court Eocord" of Jackson oounty, Ohio, and if crime m ittai, cuuuiy is aiiytuiug unu tv ui as the "Record" then an immediato visitation upon tbatplaco, of tho fate that betel Soilom and (joraorrau, may bo expected. This EegiBtor of Wilis and records for Centre uounty, in this state, is so immense in size that we quill drivors in gazing upon it can form no other conclusion than that the farmers of Centre are all millionaires whose lives are all spent in writing wills. Then tho same es tablishment makes a "Ledger" for the Lock-haven Bank, but as I have no stock in that bank I could only look with envy upon the huge lodger that is to note the "profit and loin" of that concern. No less than 100 other tremendous blank books, for 100 different banking houses and publio offices aro exhibitod by this firm, and thus'the public funds find their way to this city, to the gratifi cation of at least one Mann. TUEELECTION. The result of tho election in this eity ought to satisfy overybody hero, for the reason, that while the Repub licans maintained their usual majori ties, the Democrats elected tho inoHt important candidates. Col. AVm. B. Mann is dofeated by Fruman Shop pard, Democrat, for District Attor ney by 1074 majority, and Dr. Kings ton Goddard defeats tho Hon. Jos. Ash for Coroner, by about' tho same majority. ' Mr. Ash was a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, was a "Mysterious Pilgrim," and stood well with tho "rank" of the Repub lican party here; but tho "file" evi dently failed to properly cstimato his publio sera ices, for whilo Mr. Han cock, running on the eame tickot with Mr. Ash, was elected Controller by 13,500, the latter was defeated by a practising physician who is totally uufamilar with tho cares attendant upon the holding of public offieo. In the fifth Congress district which gave about 7,000 Republican majori ty, a year ago, Mr. Bobbins was elected, as I predicted in my last let ter he would be. Myers and If, inner pretty evenly divided the Republi can vote between them, as Harmer regular Repulican bad 7,532 votes, and Robbins had 10,213. The legislative delegation from this city stood last year, 13 Republicans anil 4 opposiion; tho present dele gation stands 34 Republicans and 12 Democrats. The Evening Teh'jrnjih, the load ing Republican afternoon journal of this city says: "Tho Republican party owes its defeat to the gross mismanagement and criminality of the men who have forced themselves upon it as mana gers. In the policy pursued in Con gress in regard to thu Gnauco of the country and the South; in personal dishonesty and corruption of many prominent Republicans in Congress; in the rcaciLJous outrages by the Republican leaders in the South, and in -.lie f;'.ttn.;,t of Grant' i:niaelinte sxa.i) jt'.ers h ir him upon 11j i pcoplo fjf a laud lam, i t'j bo ALBANY. OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER found a full explanation of tho hoavy reverses suffered by a tho party that has so long enjoyed tho publio conn denco." The Evening Jjiillclin, a Ropubli can party journal, finds its explana' tion of the political upheaval "in the inexcusable and cowardly delay of Congress to settle the financial ques tion early last winter; the Credit Mobilier swindlo and tho effort made by Congress to whito-wash tho partic ipants in that infamy; tho back salary . grab, tho revelations made during the Sanborn and Jayne inves tigation; the predominance of But lerism, and tho agitation, about tho third term." The paramount question amongst leading politicians congregated here is; Who shall be the next Speaker of tho House of Congress? As the Speaker of tlio Houso, moro than any other public man, indirectly in fluences legislation, by the appoint ment of committees, loading Demo cratic politicians are, thus early giv ing this important question their se rious consideration, and I havo not failed to notice a strong feeling in favor of General N. P. Banks of Massachusetts, This gentleman de feated his opponent by 0,000 majori ty, although ho had an adverse ma jority of 3,000 to overcome; and as Gouoral Butler, Speaker Blaine, and Mr. Dawes, made an exhaustive can vass of Banks' district, with tho view of defeating hini, thorO is a great deal of admiration for General Banks on tho part of those who hate Butler. Tho feeling regarding tho.rcsult of the elections held on Tuesday last is as varied as aro tho opinions which led to that result. On the part of the "professional" in offieo, is an ap prehension that his placo must soon be filled by an "out" and tho country thereby "go to tho dogs," and he havo to go to work at something far less congenial to his folings and loss remunerative iu a financial point of view. The "outs," who have for years struggled for this result upon no higher principal than "to the vic tors belong the spoils," see tho full fruition of their hopes which havo long boon deferred. The Republican, who is such from principle, sees much good in the re sult; he regarded his party tt3 being in a dangerous condition and be lieved that not hing but a radical rem edy would effect a cure, and hoiico he either absented himself from the polls or voted tho Democratic ticket. And in conversation with a number of leading Democrats, who havo stood as landmarks of tho party sinco Jackson's time, I find tho feeling is one of grave seriousness, not alto gether unmixed with apprehension, bocause of . tho responsibility, i5ow ior tho first time in Li years, resting upon them, anil this uppreiiension is not lessened because ol tno leeimg of the Western Democratic Congress men who favor an inflation of tho National Currency, and of tho Eas tern nuembers whp are "hard inonoy" men and aro for contraction. This much I can say from my con versations with loading men of both parties: The Democrats loaders of tho party will endeavor to still fur ther court public favor by carefully regarding. tho publio interests; whilo those Republicans, who, in this city have long controlled tho politics of the state, are desirous of having the old war Governor Andrew G. Curtin, Marshall, Lowry, M'Clure, Kano ami a host of others equally as influential return, not on probation as Myste rious Pilgrim, Johnny Hill observed a month ago but as f fall elders in Israel. One of tho most active Republi cans in this city observed to mo only this morning that "this campaign on tho part Uepiiblcans in this state was the most ineffectual ho had ever seen. Whon tho tido was running against us everywhere' in lH(!;i, Andrew G. Curtin, himself, earriod tho colors of tho party from Erie to tho Delaware, and from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, and the tido was turned back in Pennsylvania. Tho most thoughtful men of tho Republicans bitterly condemn thom solves for permitting the organization of their party to pass into the hands of narrow minded, selfish and dis honest lenders, and tho "tide of dis aster,' which now overwhelms thorn is causing them to consider how tho party can be ro-organ:zod upon tho basis it stood when Chase, Greely,' Lincoln, Seward, Sehurz, Wocd, Wilmot and their colleagues shaped its destinies. Baron Schwnrz Senborn and his wife are now in this cityvisiting its places of interest. Tho Baron was tho Director of tho Vienna Exhibi tion of 1873, and is now tho Minister Plenipotentiary from Austria to tho American Government. Posjibly nothing could bo moro gratilying to holders of Pennsylvania Railroad stock, than tho semi annual report just mado, which shows that for the six months, after paying all "expenses, $5,141,856 are left. Of this sum $H7i!,333 aro held "Ut pro vide for contingencies," and f 4,255, 523 remain as available for dividend on tho Capital stock of S,443,300. As tho dividend is to bo but 5 per cent, tho additional sum of 535, 3f!4 is earriod to the profit account of tho Company, ami tho contingent fund I trust will not ) carried tu tho Pennsyhania legislature. 1 J.

Lee, the Alleged Leader of the Mountain Meadow liuud of Monuon Mur- derers. Boaver (Utah), November 13. Tour special reporter arrived here from Salt Lake City yesterday, after experiencing all tho discomforts and privations poeuliar to stage riding in an unevou country. And after being joltod and shaken, and making innu merable apparent narrow escapos from accidents, it was a great reliof to reach this quiet village, which is at present the focus on which all Utah eyes aro now concentrating, for it is here that tho notorious Col. John D. Lee, the leader in the Mountain Meadow massacre is confined., The feeling hero, as may bo imagined, is intense. It is difficult, in fact it is impossible, for a "Gentile" to ascer tain precisely how tho "Saints" re ally feel over the arrest of one of their leaders, and the consequences to themselves and their Church of this arrest and tho investigation and expose which must follow. It is a matter beyond dispute that there aro in this immediate neighborhood many of the rank and file of that BAND OF DISGUISED MURDERERS, Who, under tho command of John D. Leo, twenty years ago, butchered in cold blood all the men and women, and all but two of tho children of a passing emigrant train. Some of those men aro hero, and whilo the probable consequences of a legal in vestigation serves to dismay them, tho countenances of all the Mormons show ono of two expressions dis may at the danger threatened their beloved Church, and the lives of some of their brethren, and hatred of the Government that has at last reached out its powerful arm to punish the most dastardly assassins this country has produced. While such is the leeimg ot tho Mormons, the Gentiles do not mani fest their satisfaction in any demon strative or unbecoming motnier. Thoy simply show tho grim pleasure they take in tho seizure of a violator of the law, and express a hope that tho wholo history of tho Mountain Meadow murder may now be dis closed. TnE AIU1E8T OF LEE. ' From a personal interview with U. S. Deputy Marshal William Stokes, and Mr. Dye, who witnessod tho af fair, I am enabled to givo you tho particulars of Lee's arrest: Last Saturday tho Marshal having re ceived information that Lee was at Pnngwitch, a small Mormon settle ment on the Sovior river, thirty-fivo miles southeast of here sont ono of hisposso, Frank Fish, to. reconnoitor, and Fitih having ascertained that Lee was then at Pangwitch, on Sunday night btokes, with JMsh, 'Xhomns Winn, R. S. Rogers, David Evans and Thomas Lefevro drew noar Pangwitch and secreted themselves under a hill for the night. The wholo posso entered the town just after daybreak on Monday morning. But early as they woro, and socrotly as their rnovomonts had been con ducted, information of their presence had reachod Lee, and suspeeting their business he had concealed him self. After thoroughly soarchingtho houso whoro tho criminal was sup posed to bo, tho officers directed their attention to tho out-buildings, ami thoir labors wore soon rewarded by finding LEE IN A CniOKEN-COOP, Loosely covered with, straw. Stokes, who was tho first to discover his man, advanced to the coop, pistol ill hand, and covering Loo with his weapon from a holo in tho roof of tho coop, ordorod him to come out. Thoro being no reply to this demand, AVinu was ordor to enter the assas sin's lndingplaco and disarm him, Stokes informing Loo that he would "shoot his bead off" if ho moved. As tho inuzzlo of the officer's pistol was not mora than two feet from Leo's head, the latter saw that it was not a vain threat, and that ho was in tho enemy's toils. So before Winn had time to obey the order of his chief, Leo said "I'll come out," and immeibntely emerged with a pis tol in his Imqd. , leu's wife to tub bhsoue. ' Yhilo Stokes was parlying with Leo, one of tho numerous wives of the latter, Rachol, covorod Stokes with a shotgun, a doublo-barrolled ono, and threatened to fire. Sho, in her turn, was covered by tho revol ver of Fish, and as Leo camo out sho was disarmed. No othor resist ance than this was offered by Leo's relatives or numerous friends. .. When Leo found himself in tho "hands of tho Philistines," ho evi dently made up his mind to make tho best of his misfortuuo, for ho pleasantly and cordially invited the officers to breakfast with him, which invitation thoy gratofuly accoptcd. Leo displayed an iiumenso amount of tang raid when rcHistauco was useless. He spent some time writ ing out directions for tho manage ment of bis property during bis forced nbsoneo, and seemed to over look none of those doliiils which a man in his position might reasonably bo expected to forget. Stokes over heard him say to ono of his syinpa tlietio neighbors, who evidently be lieved tliat the 'head op the ciiuacH Had been derelict iu his duly toward his subaltern, "President Young is not interested in this matter." The llurshul, with bis prisoner, reached hero on Tuesday, when ho was im mediately lodged in jail and beuvily ironed. as iNTr.aYir.ir wrra tub puihoskb. TI.roii;;b tho courtesy of Marshal StoJios and tho prison officials, I bad a brief interviowwitu Leo this morn in". 1 found him in cheerful spirits. While ho did not diiettly fcay u, 1 1 uui inclined tj think bo is not olio' 27, 1874. whit surprised to find himself in his present position. Publio attention has been directed towards him for some time, and he lias known that be has been charged, through the press, with being tho leader of the Muon tain Moadow murderers. John D. Lee is (12 years of ago, and has bad i SIXTY children. Fifty-four of whom are still living. He has fifteon grown up sons. He admits having eighteen wives'. One wife only, tlie faithful Rachael, ac companied him to Beaver. She is here under tho protection Of one of her husband's numerous sons-in-law. Ho was very ' reticent on the sub ject of the charge made against him. That be feels indifferent to the result of tho investigation would be assert ing almost too much, but no one can talk with him without being impress ed with the idea that be doos not ex pect to meet the punishment of a murder. " He was bom in Randolph county, Illinois, and is tho son of nn Irish mother, whoso maiden namo was Doylo, and a father whom ho claims is one of tho Lees of Virginia. He is five feet nino and a-half inches high, and weighs 1G5 pounds. Ho has a largo head, blue eyes and grey hair, once black. In Pangwitch and Boaver, and, indeed, throughout tho southern parr of tho Territory, Leo has been KNOWN FOR HIS LIDERALITV , And kindness to travellora and the poor, notwithstanding tho torriblo and well-known story of tho Moun tain Meadow massacre, fop hta al leged participation, in which bo is now in chains. His preliminary examination be fore a United States Commissioner, is daily expectfxl. THE C1IINBHB UONO METAL. Bronzes containing from 19 to 22, per cortt. of tin, heated to redness and suddenly cooled by plunging into cold water, havo their donsity in creased by the process; but whon a specimen which has boon bo treated, is again heated to redness and an nealed, or very slowly ooolod, th density is reduced. Tho latter ef fect is much less marked than the former, and a piece of such bronzo, subjected alternately to suddon and to slow cooling, has its density nota bly increased by a few repetitions of tho operations. This result does oc cur whon a bronzo containing only from six to twolve per cout. of tin is submitted, to tho same sories of pro cesses. Whon alternately, eitltoi with annealing or with sudden cool ing, the pamplo is submitted to such mechanical operations as simple com pression, the etroko of a coining press, or, in tho caso of bronzes poor in tin, to extension in a rolling mill, the donsity of botli classosof bronzeB is augmented. Both the mechanical ond beating actions contribute to this affect, which, in bronzes rich in tin, is more marked, with sudden than with slow cooling. Bronzes rich in tin are softened by sudden cooling, whilo the reverse effect is produced in stoel, in which also the density is diminished by the opera tion, instead ot being increasod, aa in tho bronzes. A discovery of conBjderablo indus trial valuo is announced- in Mr. Richo's paper.

C0.LT.HaK PnESIDKNTS OK BfJAT- iNO.-The - New England College Presidents have beon holding a con ference at lianovor, N, II. Among tho eubjocts dicus"d was that of boating and tho University rogaua. College Faculties, as a rule, have boon strongly opposod to boating on the ground that it distraolcd tho at tention of young men Irom thoir stud ies. Probably thoir view was moro just than that of the boating men who objoctcd to tho studies becauso it dis tracted thoir attention from rowing. Still it in undeniable that the influence in favor of physical culture which tint University regatta exorcises is a mat tor not to bo lightly undoryaliiod. The assembled Presidents liiwo had the good sense to perceive this and tho courage to ueknowlodgo it. The conference took the ground that whilo boating had it evils, the good more than overbalanced the bad, and that it would be a grave mistake to oppose tho regatta bocause a few young men might make it. the occasion of dissipa tion, and a few more might neglect their studies in order to take part in tho race. As the President of Am herst College took part in the conlur enco, the Amherst students may per haps repent of their virtuous decision not to row at Saratoga, and may join in tho next yoar'i contest for the hon ors thai now belong to Columbia, A woman iu Now London Conn., saw hor husband carrying s lady's satchel, and site tore tho ladyjadrcss off i.,.r l,frfi ,lin.rtvArim that itwas her mother who hud dropped down on the oveuuig tram to surpriso ner, livery i,mJ,.,mI in ll:n land v:lio is out evo- nings should read this little Item to his wife, and bold up the (lungers ot hor becoming suspicious without tho beat ot cause.

What the Graiifre is Dolnjr for Women. A Grango correspondent of the Chronicle gives his .views as follows upon tho benefits which farmers' wives mid daughters are receiving through tho influence of the G range : "When the historian , shall have taken his pen to write the history of America in the last half of tho nine teenth century, among tho most in teresting pages of that history will be those which chroniclo tho Grange movoment. I Those which tell of the wax of tho rebellion and the victo ries which led to the emancipation of 4,000,000 bondsmen will , be full of interest; but those which tell to succeeding generations the silent rev olution which led to th social, moral, financial and political emancipation of many more millions of the tillors of the soil will be of greater inter est. After all the discussions on the subjoct.of woman's sphere, the solu tion of the question was loft to this, wonderful movement. How did the Grango find woman in the rural dis tricts ? It found hex almost seclude from tho world, over-worked, poorly educated, confined to hor housohold duties from morning until night for Wooks and months and years; no time nor opportunity was allowed for social culture or mental improve ment; fibs' bad few momenta for re laxation or enjoyment; she. was air most unknown and unnoticed by the world n patiout, unoomplaiuing toiler, fop all this was deemed a ne cessity to moot the increasing de mands of an increasing family. But tho Grange has come to her and tolls her that more existence is not all of life; that the mind is infinitely supe rior to the body, that there is an er ror in Uio system that dooms her to ondless toil and seclusion. It asks her to give up for a few hours her household cares and labor and cheer-: fully go forth with her husband on bis weekly trip to tho village, there to meet with brothorB and sisters in a place dedicated to the innta-ovemont of, the higher and better life the mind and heart. Tho mystic door swings back and she is admitted to a now and beautiful world, one in which rest and enjoyment alternate with toil and care, and wherein her longings for social pleasure are fully mot. . Here the noblor part of ber being is callod forth, strengthened and doveloped, and new and happy emotions are created, as the aims and purposos of the Order aro open ed out to her. In tho Grango, too, tho husband Ii.ib learned tho groat mistake iu allowing his wifo bo re spite from ber household duties, Hud ho heods tho lesson, The wifo's la bors are in turn lightened in view of tho enjoyment which the close of tho wook will bring. . No wonder, then, that woman loves the Grange. Noth ing has ever come to her which so fully meets tho wants of ber nature." . A MASONIC GOAT, , In a small village, not a thousand miles from Sonoma, Cal., a curtain di vine whose ohuroh is strongly op posed to sooret societies announced a fow weeks ago that he would deliver a discourse against Freemasonry. The appointmont was for Saturday night and a largo audiouoe came out to bear him. Just as tho speaker began to warm up with bis subject, a lot of boys went up to the door and opening It shoved in an old billy goat and look ed the door on the outside. Now this old goat was a notorious fellow. Tho boys about town bad tensed and "fooled" with him. so much that bo was nlways "on tho fight." - -, i ,.. When thrust into the largo compa ny that composed tho audience of the reverend spoakcr lie was not at all abashed, but began looking round for a fooman worthy of his horns. ' Soon ho discovered the speaker gesticula ting in tho farther end of the room, ana with a few preliminary nods to assure himself that bis neck was in good working order, he made for him on the doiililo-nuick. it was as u tno ghost of tho traditional Masouio goat was after him. podging around tho pulpit he managed to elude billy's well-aimed butts. Down among the audionoe thoy came, tho pursued and tho pursuer. Women and children mounted1 tho benches, and such a scene of confusion and such an uproar is not often soon iu a solemn assembly, In the mean timo tho boys were firing a vollny of stones at the end of the building. By s strategio movement the goat was caught and tied to a bench, ana me congregation quieted " down, The sritaker resumed his subject. ' Billy stood quietly for awhile, but when ono of the boys who know his tricks mado a motion at him, lie began to nlunifo and to roar to get at him, creating about ss much conlusion as belore. Wlion the door was opened all wore glad to get out except Billy, who felt that be had not bad half a how. Taxation itr Cuiia. Captain General Concha appears to have been too fast with his method tor raising tho wind in Cluca. His proposod five per cent, tax on capital hau only reached the point of promulgation, but already the wealthy plnoters and merchants, of the island were begin ning to squirm under the anticipated lien on their beloiiL-iierH, and Concha was doubtless congratulating limsolf on the prospective addition to ins treasury, when, suddenly, the Sorrano Government at Madrid dispatches an ordor to Havana disitnproviug of tho intended iinpo.it, and directing that its collection bo not enforced. Mean whilo, it is reported that the Cuban income tax is to be doubled, in place of the obnoxious tariff.
