| We are grieved to be compelled to an
nounce to our readers the death, on
Sunday evening last, of Hon. Lemuel
Boozer, Judge Of the Fifth Circuit Of the
Court of Common Pleas and General
Sessions, while holding court in Camden.
a good citizen, an intelligent lawyer, q
capable and impartial Judge, the great
destroyer, in striking him down, has
subjected the whole State to Il mournful
calamity, covering all the people with
gloom. Although a Republican in poll,
ties, we thank God that, in the sterling
vigor OF his moral constitution, he was
! able to lift his mind far above the murky
region OF party politics. in the admins
tration Of the great Office OF Judge, and
to keep his judicial robe folded around
him pure and unspotted even unto death.
What 4 solace this consciousness must
/ have been to him, rs all mortal hopes
and aspirations were passing forever
away: Judge Boozer's mind was not
brilliant, but bis Judgment was sound;
and, although his learning may not have
been SO varied and attractive as that OF
some others of the legal professions, yet
upon the Bench he was found to be fully
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 enliyened 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 intervened
between him and them, to remember
