Parker. Committee. A. Stasakd, A J0UEUALISTI0 OUTLAW. The individual who is employed by "his master to abuse and misrepresent Democrats tbroucrh the columns of the Bulletin has so far forgotten, the instincts of manhood as to resort to the most unfclushing lalehoods in or der to make a point ajrainst those with whom his master has any differ ences.

He ignores all caution in his warfare and slashes in with whole col umns of mephitic diatribes, as barren of truth as was Hephistopheles of decency. The last brazen falsehood to which our atteution has been directed is in the Bulletin of the 13th in which it is stated that the School Fund of Linn county, amounting to ninety thousand dollars, is kept at Salem by the Board of School Commissioners, to be used by Governor Grover for the benefit of his own political associates and also as a corruption fund Now this assertion is as barren of truth as is the sandy Desert of Sahara devoid of water. Linn county's school fund is 6afely locked in the a wrrAikv Hrtntiftr 'IVfllo. Brer, ami nas never ueen iu oaieui. It is trne that, agreeably to the provisions of law, each county treasurer in the State has been required to forward to the State capital the yearly accruing from the school which interest is to be divided between the several connties ot the i i ot.

State, according to the number of school children each county, and to be appropriated to educational purposes; and in conformity with that order our Treasurer some time ago forwarded to Salem something over seven thousand dollars as ac crued interest upon the School Jr una of this county, and of course that sum will be added to the interest fund of the school moneys of each county and be immediately returned to its proper channel as the law provides. This is all there is of the school fund question, so far as Linn county is concerned. The ninety thousand dollars mare's nest of the Bulletin is simply a fabrication, invented by the elastic editor oi that paper for political effect. It is an insult to the good sense ot the people of Oregon to suppose that any assertion from such an unreliable source would have any effect upon their political conduct or upon their judgement of public offi cials. Our Sentiments.

The following from the Sacramento Reporter, upon the Passive Policy, reflects our senti ments to aot it is askea oy some, Why cling so tenaciously to -your organization, when yon can, by aban doning ii, secure the triumph of your principles in tne first place, do not admit that such a result would follow 6uch a course, and if we did we would still stand by the colors, because we are not only proud of our principles, but of our party, also. The Democratic party numbers more than three millions of white voters, To overcome this number out" un scrupulous adversaries had to arm the ignorant negro with the ballot. The Radical managers have exhausted their power. They can bring no more recruits into the Even the Chi naman and Digger Indian cannot save them. The Democratic party, how is continuing to grow.

It is always young. It is irresistable. It is It is compact-Even if defeated in the next cam paign it -will survive gloriously. It must become dominant again at an early day. A temporary coalition with the Anti-Grant Republicans in order to rid the country of the curse of Grantism would not alarm us, but disbandonmeat is not to of.

be thought Polygamy is still tha rage in Utah A MEBITED SEBUKfi In the Herald of the ICth inst.we find an article which we reproduce in another column and to which we refer our readers. For truth, ability and classio castigation it has never been surpassed in the annals of Oregon journalism. The editor of the Bulletin, against whom this phillipic is directed, has ever been prone to nso hia power as a journalist against any one to whom he cherished a per sonal hatred, regardless alike of truth and the amenities of journalism. Jn this article he has been "summed up," and despite his wrigglings in reply thereto (for answer ho cannot) will be pronounced a used up man. The full measure of justice, we think, has been accorded him, and no more; and we trust that, depraved as he is, he will profit by the lesson.

No man that has ever figured prominently in this State as a politician or otherwise has ever been spared by this Ishmael- ite of the press, if forsooth tho dis like of James O'Meara has ever been incurred by him; and we feel sure that Col. Taylor's "Vindication" finds a response in tho hearts of all well-disposed men in the State. Malevolent in his hatreds, unscrupulous in his assertions, cowardly in his instincts, depraved in his conduct and reckless in his judgments, this prince of ingrates has from behind his tripod sent lorth his shaft3 envenomed by his personal spleen for years past, and never before has been dealt with as he so well deserved. There is a lesson to be learned from all this, and it istersely expressed in the language of the poet when he says, Time at last sets all things even." Time has rewarded James O'Meara, and placed him where ho properly belongs among the list of those whose diabolic malevolence have recoiled upon themselves and rendered them objects of loathing and contempt. We commend Col.

Taylor's article to the careful perusal of all our readers. EX-GOV. WHITEAKEE. The Engene Guard, in commenting upon a personal attack upon Ex-Gov ernor Whiteaker in the Jacksonville Time, says Governor Whiteaker is not a candi date for Congress and the Times contains the first intimation that his friends and neighbors have had that such a thing was talked of or thought of Those who know him best, know that he is controlled by no narrow-selfishness, and no petty local prejudices or jealousies. His patriotism is as broad as the nation, and every part of the State is eqnally dear, and the wishes of every section equally sacred with him.

We add our endorsement to the above in regard to Gov. AVhiteaker's unselfish patriotism, and are confident that the Democracy of Oregon must echo the sentiment. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Fay finds it necessary to attack the record and charac ter of so true a Democrat and honest man as John Whiteaker, and the party will not fail to hold bim responsible for such a reprehensible course. If Mr.

Fay's Democracy is as earnest as he so vehemently asserts, he can surely find in the enemy's ranks a sufficient field for his caustic pen, withont turning its point against our partisan champions. "Let us have peace." Is it not in questionable taste for our neighbor over the way to growl at the Litigant Law when be is only enabled to run his machine by the aid of Government printing under appointment from the Radical dynasty at Washington? Only those who are engaged in litigation patron ize the litigant press, while every taxpayer in the land is compelled to support these Radical papers who have the Government printing to do, receiving therefor exorbitant rates. Grant offers to subscribe his next four years' salary to the Republican party for a re-election to the Presidency. If the Republicans take him at his offer, says the Caucasian, they will have to do what the pastor of his church in Washington did sue him to recover his subscription. He win suDscriDe to anytnmg even a lie but be won't pay his subscription, if he can help it.

One approaches on unwelcome task with reluctance. Wo have just such a tank before us now, which we approach in just that spirit. We are impelled to, its performance by a sense of justice and propriety hence we will do it. Tho courso of the Bulletin of late toward this journal, and toward certain persons recently connected with it, is, in our judgement, without palliation or excuse; is in the worst possible taste, evinces an absenco of courtesy and amenity, tho presence of a ppleeu and malignity which should suek other means of indulgence. If the editor of the Bulletin has canso of quarrel with those persons, wo suggest that ho has no moral right to indulge his spleen toward them through the columns of his journal; for of those columns ho has control, and the party assailed has no means of being heard by tho same audience which ho addresses.

This fact should make an editor exceedingly cautious how he asxaiU private individuals; for a kciiko of jtiHtico and mngnanmity should always bo present with an editor. Without tlieve attributes of character, ho is unfit to be an editor. Properly considered, the position is one of great dignity, when adequately filled, bu-catiKO it is one of high responsibility. Our neighbor of the Bulletin seems, of late, in several iiiMtanccs, to have lout night of these consideration, and while thus wandering i'rptn tho path of rectitude, has consulted hispnsxioiin and his perxoual resentments only, in the hope to wound and injure others. Rightly considered, tho party most injured in such caxes is tho assailant, who is committing moral suicide upon his own character, dignity and manhood.

Malico ix incompatible with dignity, is blind to justice, deaf to reason, heedlcos of expostulation, scouts admonition and even spurns en treaty. I tie matt who indulges it m-ilicts self-torture. These reflections havo forced them selves upon us, while thinking of the courno of the Bulletin, of late, toward one individual especially, who was re cently connected with the llKHAM). Utir neighbor has so forgot the pro prieties as to refer, frequently, to the marital relation of our friend, thus, iy ungenerous inucuo, striking at a lady; he has got down so low at to refer to the manmou ot our friend, attempting to fasten upon even an inanimate object, an epithet which he hopes may feting the pride of its own er; lie lias xuecreu at lint pecuniary circunmaiicei. a ujouimi even ins good fortune in this regard was a sub jeet of reproach; aud by various coven ana disingenuous lliruhts, lias sought, through the columns of his paper, to stab harratts and annoy the man he baton.

This is simply contemptible, and idiow a pitiable spirit iu the man who iloes it. It we did not think these exhibitions were exceptional, in dulged in a moment of forgetfulncss, while pOHHion rule, we tdiould scorn the man who makes tht-ni. But we forbear, lest we might do the things winch it is our olijeclonly to condemn; for while we try to exercise a practi cal philosophy, we arc self admonished that we are as liabla to err as others The Bulletin undertakes, in its is sue of the liih to compliment the present propnelorsofthc 11 hit ALU; but this generous dmplay is made, af ter a lengthy diatribe against former, ami especially late, proprietors of this journal. Our neighbor talks as though lie occupied hiirh vantage ground; as if his journal, from iu lofty position, might look down upon its lrogo'ig contemporary, with a sort of patronizing air. This is fustain, the worst nossiblo bombast.

He happen to know that the Bulletin, instead of having title to any such position, is a source ot expense to its owner; that a certain man ot great financial resource and extraordinary executive ability were to withdraw his sustaining hand, the Bulletin could not live an hour. It is not yet two years old, and it has already cost him tens oi tnousands, which might as well be "in the deep bosom of the ocean buried;" and its outlays now, ween ly week, exceed its income by hundreds. Meritorious men often deserve success, who fail to achieve it. But tho Bulletin, if it shall contin ue to be conducted in the future, as it has been for a few weeks past, does not deserve sccccss, and we feel quite sure, will not achieve it. It is notable, too, that this exceptional course has been more virulent in the past few weeks, since tho absence of the financial and able gentleman to whom we have alluded.

Our task is done. It has been done with reluctance; but we have fore borne, hoping each exhibition ot our neighbor's spleen would be his last, until we could endure to see our friends maligned, in silence, no longer, Our object has been not to recriminate but to vindicate to vindicate our as sailed friends and the dignity of jour nalism. At Virginia City a young dandy re ceived an anonymous note from a young lady telling him that she loved him and if he reciprocated he was to walk along Main street every day for a week, with a red hundkerchief thrown over his left shoulder.

A correspondent of the Herald, who dates his letter at the Dalles, Feb. 18, speaking of the condition of stock in Wasco county, says that the loss of stock has been greatly exaggerated. He adds: "What few cattle have died were emigrant stock, brought here late in the season from the Willamette, then in poor condition, and confined to the section of country immediately adjacent to the Columbia river and south ot the Dalles, on the Des Chutes and its tributaries. From Fifteen-mile ('reek south to Mutton Mountain there is at least four thousand head; the largest owners being Maboney, Mayes, Todd and Stows, who have met with no loss, out of the whole number. In the section ot country or range between the John Day's River and the Des Chutes, extending from the Columbia south of Antelope Valley, on the line of the Dalles Military road, there is estimated to be at least five thousand head of cattle, and owned in good part by Messrs.

Eaton, Price, Pearson, Barnurn, Donnell, Finegan Tucker and Ward. As far as the four latter persons are concerned, they have met with no loss, nor have they attempted to feed tho other parties I havo not heard from. Mr, Donnell, who is just in from that section, says that he will guarantee that the entire loss in that direction will not exceed thirty head. Beyond Antelope towards Canyon City, there are immense herds, and there has been no loss whatever. Gold smith and Teal may lose ten or twenty head.

Ciane, in the Big Bottom of John Day's has over one thousand head, and writes that his stock is all right will not lose any. On Bridge Creek, Mr. Sutton writes, under date of February 13th: We have itad a good winter, our stock is all fat. 1 have not lost even a calf. There has been no loss anywhere around here.

I have not fed any, and would like to get a chance to sell my hay. Mr. Sutton has about two hundred head ot fine Mr. Wood, of John Day's, near the South Fork, and partner of Grant of this place, writes that they have had a very mild winter. Have not been compelled to feed their stock, although they were prepared to do so if necssary.

lie desired Mr. Grant to make a sale, if possible, of one hundred head of very line beef steers, which he now has on hand ready for market. Messrs. Wood fc Grant have about five hundred head of stock cattle. In summing up, I hear of no complaints, except, from those who have no stock to lose, and natural croakers.

The settlers, generally, are in fine spirits, and are looking forward to the next season as the most prosperous they have ever yet experienced. These notes refer to the country south of the Dalles.

"There was a frog who lived in a spring, lie eaught such a cold that be could not sing." Poor, unfortuuate llatracbiant la what a sal plight he must have boon. And yet his misfortune was one that often befalls singers. Many a once tuneful voiee among those who belong to the "genus homo" is utterly spoiled by "oold in tbe or on the lungs, or both combined.

Canker or dry rt Vei not blast a tree as suddenly at a trokeof lightning, bat ttnless arrested it destroys it certainly anil in like manner chronic debility, although It does not kill with the swiftness of yellow fever, is as sure to sap the springs ut life eventually as any acnte die-' if not checked by invigorating medication.

Tbero is something inext rei-sibly tocbing in tbo spectacle of premature dec-ay. Lancnor, pallfr, euiaciution, depresution of spirits, and a distaste fir exertion, are its ordinary symptoms, and they should be promptly met by tonic treat' ineot. The best inrigorunt and exhiierant that can be administered in a eae or this kind is llojti-lter's liitti-r. The stimulating principle of the preparation rues the dormant energies of tho system, and-the strengthening and retaliating properties give a permanent and healthful impulse to the vital forces thus brought into play. The failing appetite is re-awakened the proeens of digestion and amroilation are-quickened, the quality of the blood is improved, the secretions become more natural, and ev-' ery organ that contributes to the nourishment of the body ondergoes salutary change.

By these means the repair of the physiel structure Is effected and its health and vior restored. In do cla of di.eases bas the bao.iccnt operation of the Bitters been more marked and striking than in tbore characterized by general debility and nervous prostration.
