Wilson, Oregon's Representative in Confcfcs, which occurred at Marietta, Ohio, on Wednesday of last week, i tiniversally regretted hy tho people of this State. Judge Wilson was fort y foor years old, and had just entered upon a career of statesmanship "which gave bright promises of national fame. Warm hearted, , genial and whole souled, he was a never-failing favorite with the people. Ilia social qualities, A9 well as his thorough knowledge of politics, made him by far. the most popular leader in the Republican party. That party will especially feel his loss from their councils and his aid in their campaigns in the luture. ' ( The vacancy occasioned by Judge Wihson V death will be filled iiy special election sometime during the coming autumm The doiy of railing the election devolves npoti His Excellen cy, Governor drover, who will proba bly order it to be held, sometime in October, fo that the farmers may not bo molested in the midst of their harvest labors. - ' M TSE BlBirS OP PaKSIDEST OttAST. It reflects no credit npon Gen. Grant that when an officer of the United States army, for which he had been educated at the expense of the government, he had so little prhle in bis position, and was so insensible to the claims the country ha J upon him, as to give himself up so to debauch ery and drunkenness as to have to resign the commission he held for life, or be driven from the army in disgrace. If there is but little credi table to him in this part of his early history, how much less to le respect ed are his present personal habits and condition. He is now in rg. session -of the highest Tionors his country men have it in their power to confer upon him,- and yet he ap preciates them only as a reward fur military services, with no idea of; tin? great responsibilities they impose upon him. Common decency, it wonld be supposed, miht incline him - i . wis s VtH position and important public duties. He is not only utterly indifferent as respects them, tnl is defiant of public opinion in his reckless personal habits and neglect of the public service. Congress adjourned four months ago, ami yet during that time ie has been absent from his duties at Washington .not less than four times upon pleasure excursions, one of which took him almost across the continent. The accounts published at the time, of his deplorably drunkei.. condition while npon these jnnkeiing tr;ps, are known to be in every respect true. Many people who saw him while pass ing tii rough Topeka. on his -way to Denver, positively assert that he was at that time shamefully intoxicated. The habit of drinking which drove liim from the army in early life, has returned npon him with all the force of an old passion. He is drinking so constantly as to alarm his family and friends, and those pleasure excursions away from the duties of his office, are only opportunities songht by him lor the gross indulgences "f his appetite with congenial companions. He has no more courage to resist the de graded passion, and has now- thrown oiTall restraint. The fact is nolonger disguised that the president is an habitual drunkard. , Hundreds of persons at Washington : and else where, have been unwilling witnesses of his degradation. Even stu-h saintly hypocrites as Henry Wilson and Schnyler Colfax can no longer certify for him. TnE ring fellow, as soon, as they heard of Wilson's death, hurried down to Clatsop Beach (Ilolladay's Long Branch) and brought the Duke up to Portland where they have since been engaged in fixing things for the can vass. The first indications of the way ihey have fixed things niay have been noticed in the Bulletin of the 9th, wherein Rev. Thos. Condon, . State Geologist, and Congregational preach er at the Dalles, isufavorablywmention ed for lhe.Uadk.-al Congressional nomi nation. This would- indicate that the ring had selected Rev Condon as the man, hoping that he may cement all the conflicting elements in the parly and pave the way for its sncccss in the great State election next year.' Rev. . Condon will probably prefer attend ing to his other fossil business. , THE St. Iouis Republican, diseas ing onr new Senator, says that , "Ore gon is not happy in her celebrities," and seems to think the alias business one ot the principle difficulties. To this the Portland t Eoening News pertinently adds: The remark is truly severe : and ' severely true. Mitchell's is- not the only,- and it is doubtful if it is the most conspicuous exemplification of inexact.,: Captain Jack is sailing under an alias. His name used to be "Keint Poos," and bo appears on-the Huntington treaty, w hic-U he signed -with old Sconclun, Whether in assuming the , name of Captain Jack, he merely assumed his mother's maiden name is not known. As exchange has found out that the most agreeable death is tov bo .struck by lijihtniug. Wkt a painless death is in store for tne Holladay King - this iallJ . .. ... WB CANAVCCKED. ' Let Democrats ef Oregon go to work and organize a viforpus cam paign lor the extra Congressional election, and with nn acceptable can didate, on a spirited and outspoken platform, we areuje qsueeeea. 5 The Radicals are demoralized. They are divided into opposing cliques and rings which ho amount of argu ment, tUtteryor cajolery can harmon ize! their State politicians are jealous and.

The Democratic party of Oregon must make a platform' which wilt denounce these infamies in un measured terms, and must place a man upon the ticket who will arraign the Radical party upon these charges an convict it efore every audience in the , State of Oregon. We want a people's candidate a ( man ' rho! is heart and soul with the producers and working classes and who is known to he opposed to transportation ; monop olies and alt other rings and combina tions whose business is to rob the peo ple and enrich bloated corporations. The people will no longer be used as cats1 paws with which to rake the favored few's chestnuts from the fire. They will no longer be bound by party ties and, driven by the parly lash to support men for office who are known to be tools and" paid servants of corrupt ring, unfeeling speculator and soulless corporations. ; ,.

' . FROM POAtVUK VALUE T, " ! CoLAr, June 20th, 1873. Editor Democrat : In looking over the columns of 3'our paper I observe that jou have no cor respondence from the Palouse country, and as there has been a great many statements In , the columns of your niokt valuable paper In reference to the Indians of this country being hostile toward the whites, j I though I would transmit to you a few' lines In order that you may know that such reports are without any foundation whatever. The Indians of this country are very peaceably disposed to war J the whites at present and have been very much alcrmed among themselves, fearing that thewhltes were preparing to make war UioiHhem, on account of the or ganizatiou of our Imrne guards. This Indian scare lias kept a great many persons from coming to this country this summer that .would have come bad it not been for humbug. Allow me to state to those persons who are desirous of . costing to this country that there is no more cause for having trouble with the Indians at present than there has leen for the last four or five years, ami that if they will attend to their own business and let the Indi ans alone while pasting through their country, they need not fear of being molested. ' The Indians that live oh Snake river are farming; also those that live on the Hangman river, In Paradise valley, are engaged in the same pur suit; and in fact the Indians all around us are engaged in farming moieor less. This being the cae is It' possible that they can entertain hostile Intentions against the whites It is not very like ly that they would be engaged in farm ing and prepare for war at the same time. ; So you see that the people here rest easy iu regard to their scalps being taken by the red devils. Times are exceedingly dull here at present, but are as I lelieve a little better than they were some time ago. Money is very bard to get and those persons that have money hold on to it and seem to be afraid to Invest It in stock of any kind for fear that they will lose on what they Invest. ' Stock of all kinds Is on the decline, cattle are really worth as much at the present time as they were worth one year ago, but the scarcity of money compels the owners of stock to sell for what they can get Grain looks very well and from the present presnects we will raise a good crops here this year as I ever saw In my life. This is a ery rainy season for the Pa louse country, and from all accounts this has been a very wet season so far all over the Pacific Coast. The bunch grass Is headed out and looks like a vast field of grain as far as the eye can read), and Unpeople are preparing to mow it for hay, which Is equally as good as timothy. Vegetables "look very well. In fact I believe we can raise as good gardens here as you can in "lFebfoot," and do it with less cul ture, hecaiiHe the soil here never hakes. IFe celebrate the fourth of July as usu al in Perkins grove, near Colfax. All are anticipating a go! time, Rev. A. W. Sweeney, of IPaitsburg, will de liver the oration. . V Pbxsidest Geant, IT 18 said, will soon make changes in twenty consu lates in order to favor a similar num ber of his Southern (carpet-bag?) po litical friendj.; Of course, the country which has to pay for all this will have the right to inquire whether those to be appointed be superior in education and those qualities necessary to make good diplomats to those who are to be deposed.". But whether , Grant , will answer jt or. not is altogether another matter. - Ilia Excellency has a knack of appointing small men to responsi ble places. "It he deposes those small men already in, for other men, the in ference is irresistible that the new batch will be eomjwscd of still small er material than the old litter. ': .
