V May 12, 187-1.
Editor Danoarat :
In the '. Oregoriian of May Qth,
observed a correspondence under
the euphonious liandlo of "Tim
luctoo," from i Albany, in which
the exercised writer, aware of
rey, the Itepubhcan uomineo, and coming events irom tneir present
Mr. Ford, tho Independent candid- shadows, utlti's a feline wail of des-
ato, are both taking part in the dis
cussions at different points. The
Captain makes as strong a case as is
possible in behalf of himself, and as
says to defend the rotten cause of
Republicanism, but tho labor is too
much for one man and he feels it.-j
Mr. Ford has adopted a novel method
of dealing with his adversary. Those
who know the gentleman are aware
of his ability to talk. Ho can talk
more and say loss than any other man
in Oregon. When he began tho can
vass, s few days since, ho had a
speech prepared of about two hours
length, made up of a maBs of silly
assertions and false, eharges against
Gov. G-rover and the Democratic
party generally. Judgo Whitney
soon caused a little light to shine in
upon the befogged mind of the young
man, by a thorough analysis of his
shallow clap-trap, and he was forced
to abandon the positions in which he
had thought himself so securely forti
fied, No sooner does he yield a point
than he takes up the lino of argument
by which he has been vanquished
and begins arguing on tho other side,
At Buona Vista Mr. Ford made almost
the exact speech Judge Whitney had
made the day before. It is believed
by his friends that by the close of the
canvass ho will so improve undor
Judge Whitney's instruction that he
will be able to conduct almost any
cmmon case before a Justice's Court.
Should this prove true, the friends
of Mr. Ford will-certainly owe Blast
ing debt of gratitudo to tho Judge.
The truth is, the nomination of Til
man Ford for tho important office of
Prosecuting Attorney is the most ro-
diculous Scene in tho Independent
faioo.

about to "Dawne" upon the prospects
and aspirations of tho Independent
candidate for the office of Stato Su
perintendent
Our astute friend seems to have
taken special pains to inquire into the
qualifications of tho respective candi
dates for official honors, and writes
up their biography in a truly bombas
tic style. -From
his manner of statement it is
evident upon its face, that tho writer
is an extremest, fully as much so in
the laudation of Mr. Oglesby and
denunciation of Dr. Dawne as the re
verse, which ho charges upon the
Democratic organs in his correspon
dence. .
' Timbuctoo, as you will observe,
does not speak of Dr. Da woe's quali
fications from personal knowledge.
but from intimate friends who do
know thereof; therefore hearsay
is the very questionable authority
clear from his own clerical skirte?
Justice to whom justice is duo is my
motto, and in justice to Dr. Dawne,
as far as I have asserted from my own
personal knowledge) as a gentleman
and teacher, it is my purpose to re
fute tho slanderous charges .preferred
by Tim am confident nine-tenths of his
class will sustain me in what .1 have
written in his defense. If Tim feels
conscious of having told the truth, I
challenge him to contradict any thing
I have said with proof, and name his
individuals, and also be so kind as not
to take refuge behind anom deplume,
but throw off his mask and lend the
influence of his good, name to what
he has covertly asserted. '

K.votisn View. A London Pout
editorial, on American finance, re
marks that the hopes of a complete
victory in the nexi Presidential elec
tion entertained by inflationists or,
properly speaking, rcpudiationists,
are molancholy to contemplate.
Should they bo realized, tbsn the
Declaration of Independence would
oo celebrated by a declaration of
independence of Common honosty.
The most omiuious feature is that the
struggle is sharply defined by geo
graphical limits and. threatens to be
come sectional, like tho anti-slavery
oontost.
Grant's veto of tho inflation bill is
about tho oi.ly act of tho Administra
tion that honest men can endorse. It
stands out among his blunders like a
lono star ovor a barren heath. Wheth
er he was aoluatod by fear, or by

the fact that the Federal Government
not only refuses to allow competition
m advertising its proposals of all
kinds, but gives them to its partizan
Bhoots at prices $tar above thoso pre
scribed by the litigant law. It is
transparent that thoy mako this act a
hobby to manufacture cajutal from,
and are not disposed to deal in the
facts of tha matter. When the ad
ditional fact is stated that' tho price
tixod by the litigant aot, for publish
ing legal noticos is less than that
charged by Republican papers pre
vious to its enactment, the transpar
ency of tho falsehoods being peddled

from which our ever positivo friend
draws his conclusions, and upon just
slich information does Tim, (for
short), stato unhesitatingly that "one
fourth the qualification of Mr. Ogles
by is superior to Dr. Dawne.
Now, Tim, I happen to 'know some
thing of Dr. Dawne and his qualifica
tions as a teacher, especially in the
Medical Department of Willamette
University.
I was a student of that University
last winter and listened with pleasure
and profit to a course of lectures de
livered by Dr. Dawne; so, Mr. Tim,
1 speak not from hearsay, but person
al knowlcdgo and observation when I
say, among so many esteemed Profes
sors there was scarcely one more
highly appreciated than Dr. Dawne,
To my knowledge his mode of teach
ing was unexceptionable to the class.
and inoro than onco have I heard
the remark by different members that
it would be more to our advantage
could wo have hail more lectures from
Dr, Dawne and less from some other
chairs, (not speaking disparagingly
of any.) This I am positivo of as
ono of the class, and whatever truth
thero may be in tho balance ot Tim's
charges, I am able to state, from my
personal and intimato acquaintance
with Dr, Dawne as one ot his. stud
ents, that this charge Is false, and she
who made it is cither ignorant of the
fads in tho case, or has willfully lied
and lias our permission to hang him
self upon which over horn of tho di
lemma suits hirn best. Tim charges
that these lectures wero borrowed as
ho is assured,) As to tho facts' of
this, many quotation's wero mailo by
him from Dr. Hammond, a work recog
nized by the faculty a9 a standard au
thority npon Dr. Dawne's Chair, anil
a work used as a text book by tho
school. In making such quotations,
lie was not an exception to the bal
anco of tho faculty, who gave author
ity for tlioir own statements, to prac
tice, which, beyond a doubt, youid
not bo beneath tho aping of even Mr.
OgIc6t.y if ho is or ever has boen
acquainted with the art of tcaohing.
Again, Mr. Tim acknowledges the
faculty proposed to promote Dr. j
Dawno to a more important Chair in
the Dompartmentl Was not that
evidence of itsolf on part of the fac
ulty sufficient' as to the merit of Dr,
Dawno as a teaoher? I have heard
inoro than ono Of tho fnoultv nav him
tho compliment of being a oompotont
and suooossful tpacher, and they well
kuow tho high estimation in which ho
was hold by the class. Ono would be
led to suppose from Tim's statement
to tho interview between Drs.
Dawno and Cnrpcntor, in regard to
Dr. Dawne s Diploma, that no exami
nation of Dr. Dawne's qualification as
a physician had ever boon mado, nnd
that the faculty had Bimply created
a chair in thoir body, and invited him
to accept it, which ho did, without
knowing any thiug moro of his com
potency than his own statement. If
