Few words have been so sadly abused
as professor" and its abbreviation,
Prof. Formerly these words, when used
in connection with mans name, meant
some eminently learned man. whose
profession was that of a teacher; but
the wicked, aping world stole the word
"Prof." and now every man who is
praise-loving enough to desire a handle
to his name. whether he be a college
teacher, or monkey trainer, decorates
his name with the "Prof." So badly
has this title been abused, and SO often
have the public been cheated and swim
died by professor" of some sort or
other, that to dub man "Prof." is to
make nine-tenths of the people believe
him fraud and humbug. 1t may be
complimentary in some instances to call
a man Prof, but until this abbreviation
has higher calling than at the present,
those who are entitled to its honors will
be more honored by its disusc than by
its application.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

Last year the democrats of the House
of Representatives decided to appoint
a committee, which should make an in
vestigation of the matters pertaining to
the disputes in the various States in re-
gard to the disputed question, whether
Hayes or Tilden received the majority
of votes for the presidency. The CON-
mittee was made up of majority of
democrats, but contained three republi-
cans and Ben Butler, then called a re-
publican, but known to be at that time
traitor to his party. The committee
has been in session many months and
has done vast amount of work. Elec.
ton matters in Florida, South Carolina,
Louisiana and Oregon have been inves.
tigated, and the celebrated 'cipher dis
patch" business has been over-hauled.
Finally three reports have been prepared
"a majority report, by the democrats,
which claims that Tilden was entitled
to an election second, a minority report
by the republicans, which claims that
Hayes received the majority of votes in
in all those States and was entitled to
the election he obtained. Lastly, Butler
is expected to make an independent re-
port which is neither "ish or fowl. !"
But we give our readers the comments
of the ~ 7. Tribune, and they can
Judge for themselves, as to the facts in
the matter:
There are few points which have
been conclusively established by proof
that the Potter Committee would gladly
have ignored entirely. 1t is well to no.
tice these before the discussion of de-
tails begins.
l. 1t is conclusively proved, by the
admissions of Smith Weed in his secret
dispatches to Gramercy Park, that the
actual majority of the votes in South
Carolina was for the Hayes electors. Yet
it is admitted that Mr.. Weed, the favo.
rite Lieutenant and right hand man Of
Mr.. Tilden in New York politics, tried
to secure the votes of South Carolina
for Mr.. Tilden by bribery. 1t is con-
clusively proved that the Board in thai
State was at no time for sale, that Mr.
Weed was fooled by the reports brought
to him by person who was anxious t
get $4,000 for his services as inferno
diary, and that W. 7. Pelton, Mr.. Til
denis nephew and confidential secretary
went to Baltimore expecting, as he ad
mits. to receive and pay over the money
for the purchase. The vote of Soutl
Carolina, then, was cast exactly as tn,
majority of voters intended and desired
Democrats tried to buy its vote ant

"BUTTER-DAY" AT ST. ALBANs.-Bus-
mess here is rather dull; lightning has
struck as many firms here perhaps as in
any other town of its size. But Tues
day is what is known throughout Frank
lin county as "butter day" at st, AL
bans. The Missisquoi railroad, built a
few years ago up through the most pop
ulous and prosperous sections of the
county, is great feeder of st. Adams
in the matter of local business. 'But-
er.day," therefore, means more than the
sale of few hundred tubs Of butter it
means the sale of large quantities of
goods by every tradesman in town to the
county" people. And these county
people are the families Of the best farm
ers and mechanics along the 80 miles of
this new railroad. The managers of the
road have special rates for "butter-day"
half fare at least-and arrange the
running time of the trains so as to &C.
commodate their patrons along the en-.
tire line. Hence it follows that nearly
every Tuesday in the year, no matter
how much rain or snow or mud, the
tradesman of st. Adams find it a busy
day. Formerly the hotels and restau
rants made special reductions to the
county people. but now outsiders arr
treated with the same consideration
which are highly appreciated. 1t il

BLAINE AND CONKLING.

An intelligent Washington correspon-
dent writes as follows touching the
personal feud which has long been
known to exist between these distinguish
ed Senators: During the three days
debate in the Senate last week on the
Chinese question it was an entertaining
thing to observe the actions of Blaine
and Conkling. These high-spirited riv-
ais, as usual, took opposite sides on the
subject under discussion. They both
made several speeches. For wonder
Conkling deigned to listen to Blaine,
and vice versa. But though pitted
against each other in debate, neither
would allow himself to refer, even indi-
rectly, to anything the other had said.
They have not spoken to each other, or
in any way recognized each other, for
thirteen years, although at every session
of Congress during that time they have
been rubbing against each others head
look at one another come constantly to
within foot of each other, but so far
as any recognition of each others pres.
ence is concerned, they are both blanks
One may search the Congressional Re.
cord in vain for a single word inferred
by Conkling since Blaine entered the
Senate, which in the remotest degree
suggests that the Senator from New
York was aware that there Is any such
person as the Senator from Maine
Blaine has once spoken of some amend
ment or other offered by the Senator
from New York, but he has never gone
further than this in referring to Conk

public view.
The democratic party having put its
hand to the plough on the issue now
made cannot look back 1t would stul-
tify itself if it should yield or comprom-
ise at the extra session after so stoutly
refusing to yield or compromise in the
session which has just closed. Why
put the country to the expense and in
convenience and disturbance of an extra
session if the party may back down af-
ter all ? 1t has taken a position from
which 1t cannot retreat, and will be
compelled to fight out the campaign on
this line.
What will be the course of events I?
In the first place the democratic Con-
gress will pass without difficulty bill
in the ordinary form repeating the test
oath, the supervisors of elections, the
deputy marshals for election purposes
and the presence of federal troops at the
polls. Such bill will be sent to the
President before any action is taken on
the omitted appropriations. 1t is next
to certain that he Will veto it in mes
sage skilfully framed to serve as a re-
publican campaign document. The ap-
preparation bills will then be taken up
with sections inserted repeating the OBJ
jectionable laws and passed in that form.
Iae necessary consequence will be ano-
Their veto, defeating both the appropri-
ations and the repeating sections. Will
Congress then take the responsibility
of adjourning, leaving the army and the
salaries of the civil officers unprovided
for? The logic of the democratic posi-
tion will require it to do this, and moth
ing will then remain but an exciting
appeal to the country to decide between
Congress and the President. If the
democrats should be badly beaten in the
elections Congress will have to yield at
the regular session; if the republicans
should be badly beaten on this issue the
President will have to yield. Be the
result what it may public feeling will
be greatly stirred throughout the can
vass. and the contest will be one of the
most strenuous that has ever occurred
in our politics. In such contest par
ty lines will be strictly drawn; side is
sues make no figure. 1t is infinitely to
be regretted that the business of the
country is to be disturbed and unsettled
by this semi-revolutionary agitation
which threatens to disorganize the gov.
eminent in pursuit of party ends.

The new census bill as it has passed
the House provides that the enumeration
shall commence on the first Monday in
June, and the returns be forwarded to
the supervisors on or before the first of
July, 1880, and in any city having over
10000 inhabitants enumeration shall
be taken within two weeks from the first
Monday in June. The President, by
and with the consent of the senate, Is
to have the appointment of the super
visors of census, whose number is limit
ed to $50, and who are to receive a
compensation of $500 each. The sum
of 100000, $25O.OO0 of which is
hereby appropriated. is limited as the
maximum cost of the census.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Owing to the failure of the appropria-
ton bills by congress, the President has
called an extra session to convene on
March 18th. The cause of the failure
was the result Of a disagreement on the
part of the House and Senate. The
democratic House has been determined
to get repeal of all the United States
election laws that have been enacted for
the protection of the ballot box, and of
all voters so that there should be neither
fraud, intimidation or false counting at
elections in which members of con-
gress and presidential electors are voted
for. In order to effect the repeal of
these laws, which could not be done by
bill for that purpose, clause for their
repeal has been incorporated into bills
which appropriate money for the support
of the army, and the maintenance of
the government. So the democrats say
to republicans, unless you will repeal
such and such laws. we will not vote
money to pay the running expenses of
the government, the army, the navy,
&c.; the republicans answer, we will
not vote for the appropriations bills
loaded down with matters that have no
business in the bills at all. This, in
brief, is the issue that has caused an ex-
ira session.
Aside from the unfairness of one par
ty in bringing into necessary bill mat
tiers that are in no way connected with
it, in order to force republicans to do
an act they think wrong, there is still
the other question of the justice and
necessity of the election laws.
These laws were made for all parties,
they protect every man in his noblest
right, that of voting as he pleases; they
guard the ballot box from fraud they
prevent false counting, and false returns.
There is no instance on record where
the United States authorities have acted
lmpartially toward either party. and
there need be no complaint by any party
that wants a free, honest ballot and a
fair count.
The investigations that have been
held by congress during the last two
years, have proved that there has been
an unlimited amount of cheating and
wickedness in conducting elections in
the South for the past few years. Both
parties have so reported. and everybody
understand that fact. Now what object
can party have for asking the repeal
of these laws. The North does not ask
to have them repealed, neither does the
West; but the great wall comes up from
the South. No one needs to be told,
that the only reason why this repeal is
asked, the is that one party which is
in minority in numbers in several
States, desires to destroy the law that
punish intimidators, ballot box suffers
and all who prevent fair voting and fail
counting, so that the negroes can be
coerced and republicans disfranchised.
Such course as this is perfectly con-
sistent with the practice and policy Of
Southern democrats, but it is strange
that any respectable northern democra
will enter into plot so undetermined
and outrageous, in order to do away
with laws that afford equal protection
to all parties, all States and all locali
ties, and which every honest voter be
lieves to be just and necessary.
