The -Judge of the Eighth Circuit The election For a Judgo to fill the place of Hon. James L. jOrr ha* trans pired. On Tuesday last the two branch es of the Jifjgislature, in joint assembly decided who should fill tins position; And wBo is it? We aro hashing up stale news to our readers. Doubtless it is universally known that Thompson II.. (Cooke, of Orangoburg, has boon elected Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit ef this State. As to the fitness of Mr. Cookc for the duties of this high function, wo need say naught. Mr Cookc is well known, at least in this County. "Pruetico makes perfect" tuns the adage, and Mr. Cooke has been practicing law for "lo I these many years." This must have given him clear and defiuitcand thorough ideas of the important dutios of the office he now holds. Thompson II. Cookc has been a*good and faithful servant to the Republican party in this State, "through evil report and good," and has fairly earned the political preferment with which he has been honored. : Merit and devotion should ever be honored and rewarded by parties and States. Mr. Cookc is a man who is pos sessed of redeeming and noble traits. In ficc, there is every reason to be lieve that Mr. Cooke will fill bis high seat with credit, and to the satisfaction of nil, and that ho will remember, that higher than any personal or party con sideration stand, the Bscred obligations ef his oath of olSce. The very iden of the ermine is purity. We trust that it is assumed in (his case with this realiza tion of the binding obligations imposed jipon' its wearer. 'Z \ ; legislative. - -flVjiill iv? i: ?Sincc our last our legislative repre sentatives'have been at work and bare toTspalcncd5 important business.

In the Senate among other important bills, referred to committees were the bill to limit the amounts of liens upon crops, and the bill to create the office ol publio weigher of Orangoburg. On Tuesday the first Annual Message of T Governor Moses wus read in both houses In the House the bill to abolish the In fcrior Court of Charleston was reported upon unfavorably. The Governor's Message. On Tuesday last the Message of Gov ernor Moses was read in the Geucrul Assembly. It b S langthy, and well-digested document and thoroughly exhaustive of the various subjects ol* Stabe policy which it treats. The Governor advises the encouragement of Northern immi grants snd of cotton and woolen manu factories ; also that the Codo and Re vised Statutes be modified and simpli fnd j also that rents and claims for sup plies be made preferred liens upon orops. fie also is in- favor of abolishing the present fence laws. Tho message treats this subject with ability and tact. I cannot furnish to our farmers more in teresting reading than the subjoined paragraphs of the message on this sub ject : TilK FKNTK LAW. The very large consumption of timber for fenceiug purposes threatens speedily to exhaust tho forest trees iu many counties of (he State, and has created the gravest concern among our leading agriculturists, and a wide spread desire that the existing fence law should bu, as soon as possible, repealed. As there has been for somo ti ne a great difference of opinion in our Sta'e ob to the legal provisions whioh should bo established iu regard to the subject of fencing, I desiro to give, it some length, some of the reasons'which induce tue to recommend the abolition of oui present laws and the substitution of others. '2st. Tho building of a fence, includ ing the splitting aud hauling ol the rails, is n tax upon the capital and lab >r of the farmer equal, it is estimated, to at least ono-ihird of the market value of our r.verago cotton lands. The money and work thus expended would il ap plied to tl.e cultivation of the laud, in crease, by a very large percentage, both the area cultivated and the pro luo< ion thereof. 2d. Yast bodies of arable land that nro now unfilled for want of fencing timber, aud for which, ou that account., there is no sale, would readily find purchasers among our agricultural] labor ers, and he yicYiiug plentiful harvests, thus cheapening many of tho necessaries of life, aud adding to the wealth of the State. 3d. Ts require the farmer to fence out his neighnnr's stock, instead of re quiring the owner ol the stock to feneo it in. is a palpable act of injustice, mid u monstrous instance of folly, in a State whose wealth is agricultural, ai d de pends almost entirely <>ti tillage and not on pasturage. Why should 1 Ic required to build a fence nr. und my farm, nt a heavy Oust, in order to keep my neighbor's cow but of my growing crop, when I d rive no benefit from tiiit cow ? Why should J;is property, c? nsisting of n few roving a'hiuiuls, be more sncr -i in the eye of the law than the low aero? from which, by industrious toil, 1 de rive my daily bread ? Is it not juM and fair that ? very man should be required tocxcrcLc reasonable care for his own property, and not sub jeet his neighbor to any cost to pr> vuut tliat property becoming the tuuau.i ol injury to uny other clues of property ? 4th. The IcuecH themselves u.c.ipy a considerable purlieu of the oloircd laud, tl u.- rvduting the cultivated area. Gill. In pop'rtion as the demand for fenc ing tinilcr exhausts the supply of trees in any locality, the price of wood fi.refuel iueioisei. which is a consider ation of great moment in a country where there is no development of strata of coal. bill Scionue and QXpertonCQ unite In prove that, iu legions where the forests are being exhaust < ii. the foil of rain i?. j roportionally lessend, aud the lauds arc parched by long droughts that not only destroy regulation, but, fro n the failure of water, prove fatal to stock of nil kinds that, arc permitted to run at lar, c. I have rend that this is notably tho ease in the pruiriu belt of Texas ami New Mexico ; nod I have been reliably j inf.ruu-d that it is strikingly exhibited iu those sections of Virginia where, iu the late war, the tieua wee destroyed for fuel and other purpose along the lii.rsof military encampments. 7th. Cattle and other other stock can be fenced iu more cheaply aud securely than they cau be fenced out. 8th. The system of fencing in stock, while it lessens the original expens* of establishing a farm, will tend to increase the yield per aero, by preserving a large quantity of the natural manures, for ap plication to the tilled soil. 9th. Enclosed pastures will ten ! to incite among our iigricnltnrista the cul tivation of improved grasses, and lllaO to an improvement in the. breed of stock ; in both of which particulars South Carolina is far behind most ol her sister Btato. 10th. Our frtrimers may be better en abled to rest their lands, by cultivating several tracts ii> rotation, without tho necessity of fencing each, thus recuper ating .-oil?, that are threatened with to tal exhaustion by continuous cultivation, moulded by proper fertilizers. 11th 'i he tenc?: law repels the ugri cultural immigrants of the Northern States, whose cultivated industry and thrifty modes of farming uro so much neeil-'d in thia Slate, whe n there are three acres of arable laud lying fallow lor every acre there is that is tilled. That' most valuable oluftS of laborers shrink frotrv coming into a co uotry or State, iu which, bet?re they can salcly run a furrow in-a titty aure fi.dd, they must expend, iu home cases, umre tuouey and. labor- to build it fsuoe than are re quired to build a house wlictoin to \lV0. 12th. It is not only chc.ipor to fence cattle iu than to fence them out, but if. is fur safer for the farmer, rendering, his crop loss liable to damage from the inroads of stock rttnuiug at largo. Many vexations lawsuits, and the killing und wounding of hundreds of head of cattle ? that make breaches through the fences, to tbo great injury of growing crops, can thus surely be prevented. 13lh. The danger to life and property on our railroads is greatly iucreased by stock running at largo. In answer to these reasons given above, which arc by no means exhaus tive of tbo argument in favor of the abolition of tho fence law, it is alleged ? by the advocates of the fence system: 1st. That there are many poor per sons who own a few head of cattle, and do not own a sufficient quantity of laud to pasture them on, and that such small laud holders, if the fence law is repealed, will be compelled to sell their cattle for what they will bring, or let them starve; and that this alternative muat surely occur to tho huge number who own stock, but have no land at all. 2d. That there arc large tracts of land such as our pine bcrrcs and wet bottoms, that ate lit only for grating; and thnt, if the fence law is repealed, cannot be utilized a3 at prevent. 3d. That many small landed .pro prietors cannot keep their necessary stock ouclosed in pastures for want of localities supplied with water, and that such must be greatly injured if obliged by law to maintain close pastures. The answer to the lirst objeotion may bo found in the following legitimate de duction from the principle on which it -coins to be based : Suppose that ton persons settle in a secluded portion of the State., and that nine of thetll proceed to level the forests and break up the s til to open farms, and determine to enclose and feed their necessary farm stock, while the tenth locates in their vicinity, and being the owner of twenty head of cows prefers making butter or raising beef cattle to tilling the soil ; and, as he owns but five acres of laud, he is opposed to re pealing the fence law, desiring his stock to range at will. The cows are worth five hmulled dollars for the lot, but the cost of the lonccs oil the supposed farms would at least treble or quardruplo that sum. According to tho the ory of this objection, that two or three thousand dollars, worth offences must be built, and that amount of the monoy of the nine fanners must be locked up as so much dead capital, in order to protect the fruits of their industry against des truction by their neighbor's, five hund red dollars' worth of cattle* Indeed, the same expense of fencing would be required if the neighbor owned but one bead of roving stock ; and thus ui.-'c farmers would have to expend at least a thousand dollars each to build a fence to kerp out from their cr^ps one twenty live dollar cow. This fair and simple statement of the theory underlying the fence iaw seems to me suffioieut to demonstrao its in justice and impolicy in our agricultural community. That the couscqucnces to the om all landholder, who is obliged to enclose his stock, will be as injurious as in as serted in that objection, is evidence! by the fact, that this very class of cattle owners are, 1 "have been told, notably prosperous on the sea coast islands in our State, which regiotis, th nigh nf great extent, mid containing an abund ance of winter pasturage of outlying stock, have been for many years exempt from the operations of the fence laws, and now contain but lew enclosed farms The second objection can be met by having a sufficient area of the wet bot ' touts and pine barrens enclosed for pa* turcs, the proprietors charging a small fee per annum. The tl ird objection w< uld be obviated by driving tho cattle to water, or taking tho water to the stock, or by having a well and a trough in the pasture ground. The sum of the winde argument against our present disastrous fence sys tem is. that nil farmers arc compelled to build and keep up fences which they do not need, because some 'cattle-owners desires to graze their stock on land which they do not own. I should add that provender f>r stock would be greatly increased in product, and consequently cheapened, by the greater area that will surely be cultiva ted, should ull fencing be dispensed with. 1 have thus dwelt at length upon tho ' reasons which should operate in favor of the abolition of our fence laws?first, because I believe that such abolition would bo tho first step taken by South Carolina iu thu adoption of a progressive system of agriculture, in which we are signally behind the age; and second be cause it has heretofore been the popu lar but erroneous doctrine iu this State, that our present fence law is adapted to the protection of the poor farmer or cat t.e, owner against the landud proprietor or wealthy farmer. So far i? this doo | trine from being founded <uv fact, or even deduoible by reasonable inference, I that in numy other Status who.e the "no fonoo" law is of force the small and poor farmers nro the very class who I most loudly protest against any change iu their laws >u this subject. ?

We glean the following notes from telegrams of our exchanges : It is reported that the Prince Imperi al has already assumed tho titlo of Na poleon IV. This report is doubtless iu correct, but it is true that tho Prince is now addressed as "Sire" by all visitors at pbiselhurst.

The sequel haa proved that tho policy Was carried out: The Phomix rose from her ashes yes terday morning with that prescribed dignity which belongs to mythology ..rid look a bird's eye view of matters and things in general, and the judgeship of the eighth circuit in particular. We always prefer to agree with our contain poraries if we Can, aud The Herald certainly agreed with th? Phojnix when iu relation to tho e!"Cti?m for julgo, it ?ays "that tho judge should dwell in a col atmosphere." Hut wo should sug gest that at this season, tho judge elect Would have no very embarrassing choice and iu the summer he could Qnd no cool er atmosphere provided for by the con BtitUtiou of this State. We alsoconsent to the general proposition that a candi date should be elected upen merit "l'almam <jui ineruit forat" will occur to the Phoenix as an old and honorable ma.\in; but as a mr.n Cannot be buvoiI by faith alone, neither should he be eleeted by merit alone. It is an essen tial requisite?not the only one. We make the square issue in this matter at onee. We believe it i.-. best to do so, because we say that the election i.fa Democrat to ofhcu is a virtual ad mission that the Republican party has no man <>t sutficieut iner t iu its ranks to Iii I the place. We arc weary and Worn with this spirit of crimination and recrimination within our lines, and of fawning and cringing to IIktjc who claim to sit in the temple of virtue and intellige ncc. 'J he Pharisee and tho Publiean, in the days of the .Mosaic dispensation might Bud a parallel iu the Pharisee and He publicau of lhe?c dis jointed lilUCS. We take the high ground in this mat tor that p< lities are little umru or lui?s than the theory of government reduced t'? practice. Political philosophy, pol - tical economy and subjects ofthat char acter p late to the science of government. Politics, asa illustrated by cam 'tiiguiiigon the stump and the elective franchise iu the ballot box, relate tr thtf sum: science. Some ignorant people imagine tint the true politician is greatly concerned ab nit the salary .itt-o I td tn an office, but that is ividcutly not so. When the Demo crats ruhd the laud there were Demo cr. t> on the bench everywhere, and the law vfn* everywhere Democratic. When the Kepubli ans overthrew thein, they change*! the Lvr, Mow it it was ri^ht j that ii Democratic judge should always administer Democratic law, it ought to be right that a Republican judge should administer Republican law. A Demo cratic chief justice of a Democratic Supreme (.'ourt announced that the Dred Scott decisii n was the law of ? lie laud, to wit : "filial a negro had no rights that a while man was bound to respect," and, we allude to it iu no ??bit ter partisan spirit," Deniuoratic judges saw that the law was enforced. The Phoenix is mistaken. The Democrats have tried to elect certain Republicans, but not when in power. They never have been in power since the Coimtitu tional Convention made the attempt simply to break the Kcpub icau lines They want us to elect a Democratic judge, at this time, lor thesunje purpose. In other words, we must do for them what they miserably failed to do for themselves. We won't do it. We s iy to our friends in tho Legislature, stand by your colors. L'p ouco more with the Republican flag, and let it wave iu the hands of an honest, able, sterling, Re publicau judge ovtr the expectant mountains of the eighth circuit. We waut to send them ano'hor such a mini as the Hen. T. J. Muckcy, aud we shall make our party respected in the strong hold of our enemies. Coterie paribus We j refer a Republican, and, until we fail to find a*apng ourselves honest uud competent men, we would ho insane to look for our officers among our enemies. We may have a high regard lor the candidates of the opposition iu this elec tion ; but we believe that the best wny to insure a mutuul respect would be to aet exactly as they would do towards us under the same circumstances, aud vote solidly against thorn.
