Judge Of the Finh Circuit.

A correspondent this morning calls
attention to legal objection to Gov
ernor SrEvEsoN's late appointment for
Judge of the Fifth Circuit. In this case
il is claimed that the appointee is in,
eligible because ne is not of sufficient
age. We suppose Governor STEVENSON
acted upon the presumption that the
applicant was old enough for the place,
aud that should he ascertain the con
trary to be the case, he will issue nc
commission. We have no idea that the
Governor made the selection with the
knowledge that the man of his choice
was too young, but think that the
error, if one was committed, was not in
territorial on his part.

BY reference to our Washington news
it will be seen that another and most
horrible outrage has been committed
there by one of the colored allies of the
Republican party in the exercise of his
peculiar rights and privileges. The
man who can read that statement OF
brStality without feeling his blood
chilled with horror is not to be envied.
When under the course of negro rule
IN Washington such deeds become COM
mon, as they doubtless will, it may be
that the Radical party will sec the folly
of SO distributing political power as to
make 1t an encouragement to crime.
Members OF that party have taught and
are daily teaching the negro that he is

How IL II2

Editors Of the Register:
By q local notice in both of the city
papers of this morning, observe that
Hon. Joseph T. HOke, of Berkeley
county, has been appointed Judge oI
the 9Th Judicial District. The Consti,
tuition of the State requires that Judges
of Circuit Courts must be thirty-fve
years of age In7the list of members el
the State Senate, dated January, 81
1853, find the following record which
was given the Clerk Of the Senate by
"Hon." Mr.. Hoke :: "Joseph T.'HOke,
Surveyor, aged 80 years; born In VIr.
ginia; Postoffice address, Martinsburg."
BY this it will be seen that Hoke is ID
his thirty-third, or, at farthest, thirty
fourth year, If his statement upon tax.
ing his seat in the Senate can be relied
upon.
Governor Stevenson should have al
least examined these records before
making such an appointment. By
Hoke's own written statement to the
Clerk of the State Senate in 1868, he is
ineligible to the position to which ouI
"wise and discreet" Governor has ap.
pointed him. No action taken in q court
hold by Hoke can be valid, and thus the
Fifth District is now worse off than il
was before. Hoke is incompetent, and
cannot legally hold the Office. Before
assuming the Judgeship, he will, at
least, have to ego back" on his written
statement of 1868. .-....
What shall be danei How is Gov
ernor Stevenson going to explain the
matter, and how will Hoke be made
eligiblef Before he can take his seat it
will be necessary either to amend the
Constitution of the State or give the lie
to Hoke's written "repsrt on age" OF
January, 1868. Which horn of the di-

Rence on mo Rence.

This is q question fast becoming sub
liect of serious reflection, and one o
vital importance to the Western farmer
The cost of bnilding and InaintaininI
fences amounts to nearly the price pail
for the land, which is a serious draw
back to the settling Of the vast prairiet
of our Western States.
We will suppose that q substantial
fence, with the necessary repairs, vii
last fifteen years, at a moderate expens'
of, one dollar per rod. With this for {
basis. it would cost the State Of Iowa
teinolose fts area into eighty acre farms
after allo wing four rods in width on al
section lines Tor public roads, sum ap
proximating one hundred and twenty
nine millions of dollars for fence alone
every fifteen years. Il
If this question were kept in agita
ton as much as some others, of less rea
Importance to the body agricultural, we
should ere, long bo blessed, with statu
tory protection from all kinds of stock
and fsrmers would have shorter road
to competence and the State to agri
cultural wealth.
When it costs so much to fence whole
farms, and so little comparatively to in
close pastures, should not the whole az
ricultural population arise as one man
and demand protection from stock by
law, enabling US to dispense with the
labor and expense of fencing out ouI
neighbours cattle, and permitting us to
expend the same on beautifying Ou
homes and enriching our minds and
soils, besides the qualification Of pre-,
serving ourwoods and groves of timber
for purposes that are absolutely essen
tialf5 E7='.1t IN RIA ~.
Of course there are men that would
be opposed to the passage of such law.
but we believe the friend of the poor
man and of general improvement will
ever be found advocating the right side
of the no-fence question.
