A Lively Tilt Between
Butler and Judge
Poland.
Washington Correspondent OF the n. Y
Times.l

Times.]
Many funny scenes occurred
on the floor Of the House dur
ing the long session of night
before last. One of the most
exciting of these was a cOlloquy
between Judge Poland and
Gen. Butler. The independ-
ence and honesty which the for
mer displayed in his report on
the Arkansas investigation have
brought down on him the wrath
of the Administration clique in
the Republican party, and it is
as fashionable among them now
to abuse him and accuse him
of betraying his party asst was to
call the Liberal Republicans
traitors in 1872. The kitchen
organ Of the Administration is
constant in its attacks, and The
Sunday Illustrated Chronicle
a short time ago resorted to car
feature. The Arkansas Radi-
calls have also defeated Judge
Poland's appointment to be
be United States District
Judge, Smalley, retired, hav-
ing convinced the President
that Mr.. Poland is not sound in
a party sense.
During the hight session
Messrs. Poland and Butler
were discussing privately upon
the floor which measure, the Ar
kansas or the Force bill,
ought to take precedence, when
Gen. Butler said, II don't be-
lieve you have any desire or in
tention to get your resolution
upon Arkansas before the
House" To that Judge Pc
land replied: "You have nc
right to say that. What evil
dence have you?"
Gen. ButIcr--''None, per-
haps, but / believe it."
Judge PoIand-'I don't be-
lieve that you believe what you
say you believe" -.
Gen. Butler--'I do believe it,
Judge Poland--I believe that
you are a id liar"
Gen. Butler-''My courage,
sir, has never been impeached
I am quite able to resent an ac-
cusation like that. You had
better be careful"
Judge Poland--"I don't
think | have great courage, but
| have quite enough for this oc-
cason. Not much is needed"
At this point the two men
parted. and as Judge Poland
turned around, Mr.. Lamar of
Mississippi, who stood at his ell
bow, remarked that he
thought that Judge Poland
might have needed some assis.
tance, and intimated that he
was ready to render it. Mr.
Poland thanked Mr.. Lamar
very cordially, but remarked il
his very dignified way, II am ;
fighting man myself, sir"

70 one who has had the OPP
portunity OF observing the diff
ference, it is very plain that in
those localities where teachers
have formed themselves into as
sociations, the great cause of
education has most rapidly adj
vanced. Teachers, would you
be respected and esteemed as
You merit, as a class Of public
workers for the public veal?
Would you arouse, in the public
mind, that degree Of interest
which the Importance of your
cause should elicit? Then you
must do it, not by the transient
enthusiasm influenced by STIR
ring appeals of eloquent decIa-
nation, but by a constant man
Hesitation Of interest and zeal.
In any profession or business
where there is energy, enter
prise and talent directed to a
laudable end, combination gives
it power and influence. If you
would have the public mind to
appreciate your labors as a pub
lie Improvement and blessing,
you must attract attention to
| the extent and Importance Of
your work.
An association will be, not q
mutual improvement and editi-
cation to ourselves only, but if
| it be what the talent and learned
refinement of the profession can
make it, it will be editying and
improving 10 the county at
large. Furthermore, our pro-
ceedings can embrace reports
at each meeting from each mem
I Der of the association of his
school; and, by publication
the people may know what in
terest each vicinity is taking
in schools, and what progress is
being made in education. This
may beget a pride and a spirit
of emulation that will give an
impetus to the cause never be-
fore witnessed in our county.
Let each teacher report also
the amount Of charity work he
is doing; the widow and the or
phan may bless us; and the day
is coming when their bcnedic-
tions and smiles Of gratitude
will be a source of more COM
fort and pleasant reflection than
any Of the feeting pleasures Of
this life.
Let as haze a Lincoln County

The State Credit.

TIC OOuI lSI oOUItttG CUIItS-
pondent's opinion of Legisla.
lures in general and Of Tennessee
in particular, with a few refec.
lions on sustaining the credit of
the State, are worthy of cohsid-
Grafton:
There have been comparatively
few bills passed by either house,
as the excitement of the Senate
rial and other elections prevented
the serious consideration of any
other business. OF course there
are many of these bills which will
die in the hands Of the commit
tees, and which ought to die.
But, of the others, probably
enough will be passed to plague
the people until another meeting
of a General Assembly which can
repeal them. Probably it has be
come apparent to you ere this that
l do not go very strong on the
general utilityof Legislatures, hav-
ing small faith in the usefulness
in any m inner whatever of such
bodies. OF course they are neces-
sary occasionally to elect United
States Senator, but when l lei
my eyes rest upon some of the
jobs they turn out in that line my
faith is again shaken, and / fall
back upon first principles and de-
clare them, as a rule, nuisances.
Now, none ofthese really agree
able gentlemen of the Tennessee
Legislature need say that | attack
them. | simply speak in genera
terms, aud feel that, with some
of the experiences of the past,
have a right to talk about them
But we will not quarrel about thi'
matter.
STATE CREDIT
is a hackneyed term here, al
though it has dropped SO tripping
ly from the tongues of designing
men in the several most recen
campaigns. | am ofttines half
disposed to grow disgussted will
the while silly twaddlle about the
great State of Tennessee being IN
able to pay 81 100000 of bonded
Indebtedness. But | have friends
here, honest thinking men, who
talk thus to re, land actually labor
under the halIucination that the
bankruptcy whieh would follow
low taxation is the most desirable
thing which could occur to the
State. | must respect their opin
ions at the same time that | know
them to be utterly fallacious
Were a Northern paper, we vii
say the New York Times, tor in
stance, to publish series OF ar
ticles embodying the ideas and eX
pressions of these gentlemen, they
would be among the first to de
nounce and deny it, and claim il
as an exemplifcation of Radica
hate. What is SANDER, gentle
men, in the paper OF the North, i.
speaking of your State, must be
something more when coming
from your lips; and yet there is
not one of these low-taX, bauk'
ruptcy, reputation gentlemen who
would, under any consideration
willingly SANDER in the slightest
degree, the State. But they are
doing so under a misguided sense
of duty, safely delivered.
Though in the light of some of
my other exploits in that direc
ton, | have hesitated in giving ex
preston to an opinion as to the
final result Of any measures l,ere
still | can not allow myself to pre-
dict any other than the fullest
sus:enance of the credit and hon
or of the State, the effort of the
low-taX men to the contrary not.
