OiBFIEtD'S TBODBLES- It must be admitted by the warm est friends of President Garfield that he is 'environed by difficulties. At th verv threshold of Ms term he is threatened with opposition by the Grant element a most potentiaKae'.r gressive element of hiaown party. Already there are serioui discords io his Oatinei y Withm month since the inaugural we hear of three threat ened resignations. Garfield ii now M.nlV Sn nnAafton if tint devious, ways. Some of bis nomina- LIUUB Viuug uais wjvm to put it mild. ; Hif ;r partydivided into f actions, allt war among them 'selves,! cannot give him that united and hearty support which the head of a party must desire. It may be that a " temporary peace may 'be may be allayed, but can it be hoped sanguinely that beginning in disaffec tion and beset by most perplexing doubts and difficulties the way of the Administration will be smoothpience f orth, sustained by a united and con sistent; party, aiming at one end, and that the good, of the wole country? Mr. Garfield is a man; of very su perior abilities. No partisan will de ny that. But whether he is a man of will remains to be seen- His politi cal career has been marked'strangely with many great inconsistencies. If we were to judge him by his past record; we should suppose him to be a man of vacillating temper and varia ble views. j-He needs certainly a will of Andrew Jackson assertion and m domitableness. He is dealing with hostile elements that need a strong hand 2 nd resolved purpose. His foes of his own household are men of ag gressive and even imperious temper. To meet them Garfield must be a man nf Jrnri and Innt a man of war. Tf he yield io the encroachments and de mands of the Cpnkling tribe he is rone. He will be the mere figure- - bead or a faction, lie will no$ dare proceed upon any course that in the least is disapproved of by said faction.. He will not be the President of the TTnimi r.r n'f tl. Rpnnhlinan nartv. . T - . 7 r - but of the 306 who stood by Grant ; - 1 -at Cincinnati to the last. ; If he should yield now and en deavor to pacify the wrath of the mighty Lord Roscoe and his chiefs by recalling appointments offensive to them and by making those they demand imperatively, then he will find himself either a tool of a faction or a merefeather, tossed about by toe wmas 01 cliques, ana wnn an assurance that his Administration will be marked by failures and incon sistencies. He must have a strong, united Cabinet, that will stand by him in every issue and that cannot be driven about by every breath of op- -a ? . 1 J 1 F 1 v 3 - - m.

But from a Democratic1 standing-point there ' is encouragement in these dissensions.

The new; common sohool law meets r - 1 . - ' ' - - - - with? the general ' approval .of the press, as' far as we have noticed. All seem; glad that at last right steps have been; taken to render the schools of the State much better and to do for the children what is ao jnuch needed The office of county superintendent is regarded as important. Of course its efiiciency will depend upon the character of the men chosen." ' Well qualified officials are needed. ' To be qualified embraces ' a good deal.1 He must be a scholar, a teaoher, a man of energy, a man of devotion, a man of sound judgment. We' find !aet forth in our esteemed, contemporary, v. the J -Wilson Advance, some of the duties of the new office that deserves a wider reading. :We have only space for the following. It says: v ."The problem before lhe"countv aimers iotendent ia, ; to adopt such methods xf examinatioo andinatruction, as will secure competent teachers to create In them a foil sense of responsibility, by.acongcious neaa that tbelr school management is under hie supervision and: direction to inspire by a personal, visit to the schools, as well as a special examination of each of them aa interett in both teacher nd rjnnila-tn i expressed in a purpose 10 maae me coin- I - - 1 .o.u m nnhlin henefaA tion.

The late unplea santness between Voothees and 'Ma bone was the uppermost! topic ,The gossips were all around and the ques tion discussed ;was how cshall the : quarrel be settled? Will there be resort to the code or will there be an interference of fnendsl But the idea; prevailed ' to a considerable extent that there would be no powder burnt as no one was spoiling actually, for a fight, i It struck us after reading the discussion ' between Voorheea : and Manone that the ' onus of a challenge rested upon the little "rebel . Briga- dier." The Washington Jtofc of Sun day has this to say. of the town-talk.; - "Io disenssing the contlogency or f a 'gentlemanly adjustment of. the diffleoity, however, there is a wide and apparently irreconcilable difference of opinion aa to which party gave the provocation and which should take the initiative in calling the other to account. There is only one point on which ail are agreed and that is, that offensive language was used. " That it was used intentionally rather than in the neat of sudden exasperations, is also tolera bly obvious. Mr. Voorbees, it is said, could hardly have been more personal bad be himself originated and incorporated io bis speech the words 'renegade Democrat,' re pudiationist' ana -oargamer,- usea oy me newspaper editorial which be bad read at the clerk's desk, and which be afterwards indorsed. And Mahone evidently intended to throw down the gage when he said that no brave and 'honorable' man would in dorse such sentiments; and that Yootbees might take the remark to himself and 'wear it. It is maintained by others that while the crowning 'insult was given by toe In diana Senator, the language of the rising Virginia statesman was simply that of a man who, alter having neen caiiea a.'iiar,' retorts with 'you're another.? " , . It is propheoied that no duel will follow.' It is believed that Mahone will not challenge and Voorbees is content tb abide by the record. A Washington 1 dispatch ' to the New York Evening Pott Republican, has this to say of the effects of the con flict of words : . "Mahone'a performance yesterday has not strengthened bis position. ' His. fiery words were, as Mr. Vborhees properly characterized them, very cheap.- Senator Blaine made a laugh last winter when hm predicted io bis epigrammatic way that the Democratic revolution would not revolve. In like manner Mr. Voorbees set forth m its trne ridiculous aspect Mr. Mahone'a bullying threat that 'this thing was to stop 'Suppose it don't ? J Suppose it don't ? asked the tall 8ycamore, and the indica tions decidedly are that it will not Mahone is an able man in his way. and no doubt a brave one, but neither by bis ability ndr bravery cao he stop the troth from pre vailing. 'V : TBOTH AND JDsriCE. ; ..7 "The road at the time it was sold. was. in the estimation of the Stab, worth mil lions of dollars including its indebtedness. and to sell it to secure its completion was a crime. 'amiow IMisen, We have paid no attention to the anonymous misrepresentations of the Stab that have' appeared in the Ra leigh Hews- Ubserverfina were gladly caught up and copied (by request," no doubtXbysome of the Raibroad organs.-. We notice the above -in the Railroad organ at AsbevUle because it chooses to follow the example of the anonymous writer : and misrepre sent the Star. The Stas did not hold that it "was a crime", "to BeT the Western North Carolina Rail road "to secure its completion." - It preferred that the State "should own it and that it should be built by our own people rather than to almost give it away. : That our position as to the question of a sale may be seen we will quote a few sentences' from the files of this paper. On February 27th, 1880, the Stab said : ' "Let it be understood the Stab is not orrosED to the tale of ihe Western North Carolina Railroad. . But we do say that it ought not to be sold on the terms proposed in the bill (Best) printed in the dtab 01 xnursaay." - This opinion was iterated and re iterated' ..7... ,.vv "i':y On March 27th it said : - "The position of the SrABhas been and is this : Under the circumstances rr avobs A saxk, but not upon the terms of the Best proposition. - . , We shall o only too glad if our fears are not realized and our propieeies notfvlfiuedr i ; What can be; plainet ' than this? The Stab, believing in . the correct ness of the opinions expressed by;e$- Senatora Merrimon and Dortch and Col. D. K.

We neither believe that the Ducktown road will be . built jby the successors of Best, nor do we ber lieve that . tE successors .themselves nor their friends and fuglemen jibe lieve it.'--'i. 'mgi! 'si?ll jftMZ The advocates r of . the sale,,repre-r sented the Western North Carolina Railroad as a tremendqtta burden up on the tax-payers of the State That; ras the'keynote of, .their whole ar gument j for , the , sale.? j ,The people would,, not stand it any. longer, earn they, and rather , than keep the ele-, phant, they would give it way. il The Stab, from their standing- point, would prefer that the , burden, being removed, being lifted, as they say. it has been, shall not be replaced upon the shoulders of the tax-payers again. Supposing it to have been a tremendous, unbearable., curse . upon the taxpayers, why . should the. Stab or any one desire it to be returned to the St ate' to be a curse and a burden. again? .. The Stab merely acoepts the argument of . the friends of the road. One word more. The Star is not an enemy to the completion of the two roads under the present ownership, or any other. It is simply. a falsehood if this is said: It will be as much pleased at the completion of the roads as the most pronounced and boastful frieod of the scheme will be. " It is not true that the Stab has intention ally suppressed any facts connected with the progress of the two roads. It has given fronv time to time such facts - and -figures as appeared re liable and of importance.' Our files authorize this statement. "We wrote ten lines or so-a mere squib a piece of - badinage and it was oaught up as a shark seizes its prey, and commented upon with the disingeon ousnesa and smartness peculiar to the author of the aforesaid anony mous article. Our belief is that the figures, or come quite like them, that' were complained of aa being dis regarded of suppressed, had appeared in the Stab. We have done with de fending our course; v We are proud of out record; ?c We have nothing to take back, t We have made no mistakes or bladders. .wWe believe what was said by us in January and February, 1880, as prophecy, can yet be used as histo ry; and yet we shall be indeed glad if Um prophecy I turns c out ' altogether false;' In saying this' we are perfect ly frank, perfectly sincere. 'So: far from1 opposing the sale of the West ern North Carolina: Railroad, in an editorial'of oiore than a-f column in ldnerth we favored the sale of the State's; interest in every 'railroad in North Carolina. But we favored a afe. We never favored a half : or a bogus or a pretended sale; but a real,1 bona fide, genuine, complete, unmis takable sale;aM5?" mt , JOHN SHEBSUR AND OTAHONB. ; ' The readers of the Stab are pre pared to believe that it never expects anything Upright and honorable and j ust from John Sherman.1 It recog nizes his; very" fine abilities, and it recognizes the ingrain corruption of the man.
