P. 187i, the llou. Joseph G. Wilson was duly elected Representative of tho State of Oregon in the Forty-third Congress of the United States; and Wiihueas, Since the said election, said office lias become vacant by the death of said incumbent; and WiiEHKAS, By provision of the Constitution of the United States, and the Jaws of this State, it has become the duty of the Governor thereof to issue his writ of election to till such vacancy ; Now, therefore, I, L. F. Grovcr, Governor of the Siato of Oregon, do hereby command you aud each of you to notify the several Judges of Election within and for yourstveral counties, to bold a special election of Representative Z Congress to fill the vucaucy afore said, on Monday, the (V3) thirteenth day of October, J 873. aud ,h.t you cause all proper notices to be given thereof according. to law. , Given under ny hand and j g ) the seal of : I 3 Slate ol ( ' j Oregon, at Salem, this tenth day of July, A. I). ISTo. L. F. G rover, Attest: S. F. Chadtuck Scc. o? Srate of Oregon The Comi.no Ellction. We pub lish in til i s number the proclamition of the Governor catling a special election to come off on the thirteenth lay of October for the purpose of electing a member of Congress for the State at large. This of course will be a very important election to the peo ple of Oregon, and every citizen of the State who enjoys by suiTerancc the high privilege of voting, should feel an inlorait .ji . ffl i-i n lr r-i ! 1 fi.rth , T.e r, , v n n .1 ' actiivty, and the work should be core at the primaries because beyond that noint the tjeonls as such lave no con- trol ; and that portion of our citizen! who nrc refused this great and rno-t sabred rio;ut should not feel th t they have no interest in this in it t. r, l.ut they too, should s-rt the nselves in favor of the nomination and election of some man jr that important office, who is Cnp-jb'e, honest, and who enter tains and maintains crorect principles upon all the important questions pend ing before the people. We are aware that the absolute refusal, without the slightest shadow of reason, to permit participation in a right more sacicd than all others in popular government.-, ha a direct tendency to iethergy ami careleRjnet'? in the class against whom the unjust discrimination b made, but we hope that the noble wom"n f Oregon will use hat influence tley arc permitted to excreise, in the tight direction irrespective of party name, and will assist in the selection of some man who is reliable and who id in favor of all proper tefbrms. CRAZY. Some one of Holiday's wor shipers has written a communication over the s'gnature of J. G. in which hi relates some of the most absurd things ever attempted to be placed be fore the peoplo of Orcgoc to date. This craiy man says it makes no dif ference whether IJowlby or Ben Simp son is nominated for Congress, every Republican in Oregon wuuM come to time with a vim ; he alo remarks that 7 the people have the best of lien Holla day ahd rconopolie3 in Oregon, because the roads don't pay, and Holladay and company having brought to, and ex pended large amounts of money in Oregon for the special benefit of her citizen?, have the wrst of it, and con sequently Holladay ought4o be idoliz ed. Now vre love cheek, but this suits us too well. The truth is he is wron; in each and every proposition, for cither one of th gentleman named by J. G. if nominated would bo beaten a thousand votes by their own party That kind of soft eodcr is too thin my dear friend, you must try something which contains a greater mixture 01 common sense, if you succeed iu hold ing together this tottering form, whose trembling liojbs have brought her to the door of jus'.ico, J Subscribe lor the Liberal Republican. The Liberal Republicans of Oreiron j arC detei mined irrespective - of former! uffilhtions, to support the best candidate j presented l.y toe present organized parties in Oregon at the coming elec iou ; and while it is true that they are cot strong enouuh to run an indepenent candidate successfully, and do not intend to undertake it, yet it is by uo means certain, that they do not hold at the present time the ba! auce of power. A word to the wise is suffieient.aud we give notice now, so that th ere shall be no misunderstanding, that if either of the present organised parties in Oregon, Republican or Dem ocrat, shall place in nomination any old logy corruptionist, ringite or po litcal or religious hypocrite' he shall not be elected ; and futher that the Liberals flatter themselves that tiiey are pretty well posted concerning the timber out of which a Congressman ought to be made, and they do not intend to bo deceived. For the pur poses aboved named the Liberals vill be well organized in the State and will work for the rinbt. Let Ik niairo'ues and political theives hfwarc. We have always been of the opinion that the advocates of woman sufrYaj entertained greatly exag'jetat d ideas of the benefits to flow from its being established, 'and that if.s oppuiers, on the other hutid, were in the habit of viewing its supposed evils and incon veniences through a glass that magni fied about a hundred diameters ; and we- have further suppos d that the large , majority of intelligent people did not regard the rinetiim a? one of very great importance, so far as rel ites to practi cal results.

There is considerable excitement in the eity in confluence of runer- that smallpox is prevalent. Wo apprehend that most ot the excitement ha grown out of tho action of par ties who removed a patient from the Aletropoli8 Hotel to a vacant house in the south part of the city without notifying the city authority, and thus imnerrilled the heulth'ofthe neighborhood. Oat of tbn matter ha ve sprung rumors of smallpox hidden away in every part of the city. There is no cause whatever for alarm. The Mayor and Com mittee have always taken every possible pre caution ag:iint this spread of this contagion in thu city, and the result has beeu that tho dis ease has never become general.
