In answer to the question in his presence
as to his recovery, DR.. Hanson

certainly doubtful, and yet, to all appear

The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. ST.-Twenty-
five States have now ratified the fifteenth
nm sndment. Texas is required to do so
before she will be admitted into the
Union-so, too, will Georgia. So that
but one State will remain to make the
required number. Ohio probably rati-
fed the amendment yesterday. But
New York has withdrawn its assent. If
this action is recognized, there must be
still another State added to those ratify-
ing the amendment. If it becomes
necessary, Tennessee can and will be
taken in hand, as Georgia has been,
and, by this means, the consent Of The

HAIL COLUMBIA, HAPPY LAND This
little city, it has been decided, must move
along. For several weeks, the subject of
o new hotel and opera house has been the
topic Of discussion, and if we are to Gre
dit the statements of the Columbia cor
respondent of the Courier, the matter
has been decided upon definitely. He
says:
AN OPERA House AND HoTEL.-The
plan for this purpose has been we'll ma
tured, and the place has been selected.
The locality embraces 362 feet fronting
on one street, and 145 fronting on an
other. Nearly every Northern man in
Columbia, including several members of
the Legislature. have agreed to subscribe
IS, 900 each. Even Tim. Hurley has put
down his name for that amount, while
such men rs J. J. Paterson, the rail-
roadist, Gov. Scott. Leslie, Chamberlain,
Parker, Pierce. Dennis, Denny, and
through. Mr.. John T. Ford, the fa-
nous theatrical manager, will give
$4,000 and fittings, and lease the opera
house for five years, at $1,000 q year.
AS it IS proposed, in connection with the
hotel and opera house, to build number
of stores la Niblo's, in New York, a
number of the merchants of Columbia
have expressed desire to come into the
arrangement rs subscribers. There is
every probability, therefore, that within
year monster building will be erected
on Main street, in Columbia, which will
pay citizens and stockholders Il hand
some per centage for their enterprise,
besides constituting n source of attrac-
ton TO the people OF the State. The
cost, according to present estimates, will
be about 100000. Tin. Hurley, in his
curious way, says he thinks it no more
than fair that since the town was cap
tured by Sherman and his bummers, it
should be recaptured by carpet-baggers.
1t certainly bids fair to be so, for they
own to-day, according to official exhibits,

The LATE VIOLENT STORM. The storm
which swept over the Western States on
the 18th instant, the main particulars of
which have already been given in our
kilograms, appears to have traversed the
lakes and their line as far East as the
Hudson. Northern Kentucky suffered
terribly. In the vicinity of Cave City,
the storm became furious tornado,
prostrating every house within radius
of six miles. Prewitt's, in the same
State, was utterly wiped out. Twenty
persons were killed, and the destruction
of property is immense. At Cincinnati,
and at New Albany, Indiana, there was
q most terrific display of thunder and
lightning, and the rainfall is estimated
at twenty inches! The same phenomena
attended the storm at Nashville, ST.
Louis, Louisville and Pittsburg. The
flood was unprecedented, extending as
far East as the Hudson. Railway travel
along the line from Buffalo to Chicago
was suspended during the greater part Of
the 18th instant But perhaps the most
singular of all, was the sudden fall of the
mercury from forty-two degrees to six
teen degrees below zero. At Chicago, it
stood at eight degrees below zero at noon
OF Tuesday, 18th instant.

MIR. EDITOR: A number OF our ANA.
teur musicians have in the very spirit of
charity, volunteered their services for Il
concert in behalf of the Ladies Indus
trial Association of this place. This in.
stitution greatly needs, and most tho
roughly deserves, all the aid which our
community can afford it. MI Joseph
Denck. whose genius has won the admi
ration of the most famous musicians Of
Europe, actuatcd by the same spirit, will
assist in this kindly work of charity.
Those Of our citizens who may be pre-
sent at the concert on Wednesday next,
will have an opportunity of witnessing
those powers of music which were the
admiration of the Conservatory of Leip-
sic and called forth the enthusiastic ap-
plause of List himself. Besides this
great attraction, the vocal portion will
be of no common order. Several of the
voices have already won the appreciation
Of our citizens, when volunteered for
other equally meritorious charities; while
some of them, never before heard in
public, are pronounced by those who
have been fortunate enough to enjoy
them, to be each Of the highest type of
its kind. The musical club of Charles,
ton has kindly lent its books for the ne
cessary rehearsals, as well as for the oc-
casion itself. A gentleman of that city
visits Columbia solely to assist. Several
whose promised aid gave encouragement
to the design of q concert, will come
from distance to2contribute to its sue
cess. Will our citizens permit those
generous strangers to excel them in
bounty to an institution founded in our
midst for the benefit of our own indi-
gent, and which in the relief it attempts
to extend, knows no other distinction
than.the need.and worth.of the recipients.

upon the DenCn he was fOunu TO be tully
equal to the high tasks of his position,
and, after argument, capable of clear
discrimination and correct decision.
The qualities, too, of patience, courtesy
and mercy eminently adorned him as a
Judge, whilst the social elements of his
character enlivened his companions and
made him acceptable on all occasions.
1t must, indeed, be very grateful to the
feelings of his friends of the Columbia
Bar, now that the grave has interviewed
between him and them, to remember
how thoroughly he had won their kind
est consideration and how suitably they
expressed it to him at the close of
laborious extra term of his Court, in this
place, in August last. Judge Boozer
was & native South Carolinian, having
as we are informed; was educated at the
the presidency OF the late venerable Dr.
Cooper: entered upon the practice of
law, in the village of Lexington, about
the year 1882; and for several terms
represented the people Of Lexington in
the General Assembly, first as member
of the House Of Representatives, and
then in the Senate Of the State. If we
may refer, with propriety, at all, to his
recent political relations, we may record
the fact that he was elected, with great
unanimity, by the Republican party, in
1868, to the Office of Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, and under the constitution, became,
&c o6icio, President of the Senate, over
which body he presided with entire
acceptability and success. The hearts OF
his surviving family and friends, and of
stricken people, are weighed down
honest life.
