Tiio Biicldcn death of Hon. J.'O.
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

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

The Radicals are demoralized.

a conibinatiou oi outrages such as no
party under the sun can defend or
palliate,' and the people are now only
avatting an , opportunity ' to manifest
their disgust and abhorrence of these
iniquities. The Democratic party of
Oregon must make a platform' which
wilt denounce these infamies in un

man upon the ticket who will arraign

heart and soul with the producers and

They will no longer be bound by

. 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. ': . ' v
: 'At St. Joshph, Mo., there is a cer
tain Nathaniel J ackson, a person of
color.. He has doubts of the fidelity
of Mrs. Nathaniel Jackson. , When
ever he has occasion to be absent from
home, (and he is frequently absent,)
ueiore i aepariing ne reaus to, jura
Jackson the following impressive doc
ument: t "Mrs. Mary Jackson: I am
your husband, and you mast mind "no
other nigger but me, You know that
I will never give you up; . I will stick
to youj if I have to wade to my. chin
ro blood to doJ it. " I am a bad" nigger
when I get mad, so look out .for me;
I am coming." And then be goes.
