THE ROPER HOSPITAL sCHEME.
Result Of the Proposed Conference Be-
tween the Medical Committee or the
Board OF Health and the Trustees OF
the Roper Hospital.

The following resolution was passed at the
meeting of Council held on the 9Th of August:
Resolued, That the report on hoeplicl n
provements be referred back 10 the meu. cal
committee Of the Board of Health, with in.
structlons to hold further consultation, If
deemed eXpedlent, with the trustees of the
Roper Hospital, to see II any arrangements
c. = be made with them to promote the In
terests of the city, and Of those needing hos.
pital accommodations.
In accordance with this resolution, DR..
Pelzer addressed the following communica-
tlcn to DR.. J. Ford Prioleau, chairman of the
board ol trustees:
CHARLESTON, August 8.
Dear &r-Under the subjolned resolution OF
the City Council, adopted at their last meet
ing, the medical committee OF the Board OF
Health will meet your committee for announcer
conference on Monday next, the 18th instaHt.
a. twelve o'clock NJ, at the city registrars
office, City Hall.
DR.. F. NJ. Robertson, chairman of the cor-
miltee of conference on the part OF the trus-
tees. replied the next day to DR.. Pelzer's note
CHARLESTON, August 9, 1872.
Dear Sir-Your note OF the 9th Instant to
DIR. ]. Ford Priolean, chairman OF the board OF
trustees OF Cno ROpcI noopitois wac houuCu
me this morning. Our committee In joint
meeting with the medical committee or the
Board OF Health, some time since, after free
and candid statement, submitted conditions
under which the City Council could again
avail itself Of the use Of the Roper Hospital
tor the care and treatment of the sick poor OF
the city. We have casually learned through
the daily papers that your committee ADVISED
against the acceptance OF our proposltlons.
Under these circumstances, 1t will be proper
for your committee to advise ue of the nature
under the resolution of Council, alluded 10 In
your note. Upon the reception OF such COM
municatIon, will at once call the committee
together to consider the matter, and give you
prompt and definite reply.
The report OF the medical committee, made
to the City Council In relation 10 the above
correspondence, after reviewing the crcum-
stances which called forth the same continues
thus:
AS the design of proposal, such as alluded
to In DR.. Robertson's letter, did not originate
and never had been entertained by the medl-
cal committee of this board, the committee
having honestly aud carefully canvassed the
claims OF the roper Hospital, In conjunction
with the demands of the city tor an impartial
decision in the premises, are fully persuaded
that the recommendation contaiued In their
report to the Board of Health, covering this
matter, is both just and proper. under exist
ing circumstances. The committee, there
fore, ask to be relieved from any further con-
alteration Of the subject.

Th., extraordinary meteorological manifes-
tatons of the last fortnight may we'll lead
many to imagine that the globe which we In
habit Is undergoing some unknown or myste-
rlous change, or that we are under the lnf1u-
ence of some planetary revolution, perhaps
that of the sun tself-the source of Right
and heat-whlch, according to Tact -lni, the
Italian astronomer, ls just now over
charged by superabundance of mag
neslum, causing an unusual Intensity of
heat. 1t Is true that the London Spectator
consoles us with the reflection that ''ter-
restrial causes are quite sufficient to ex-
plain the recent unusual heats-although few
seem to understand these causes--but unfor-
tunateiy, it reminds us Immediately after
wards that suns before now have been known
to flicker for while and then 60 out alto.
gether, like tarthing rushlights, or to have
"suddeny blazed out for while with a lustre
exceeding hundred fold that which they for
merly possessed" However this may be, GER
tain 1t is that there are thousands who, In de-
fault OF any other mode Of information, will
attach considerable faith TO Tacchinis magne-
sium theory, and hope, under our present cir
cumstanees at least, that the sun will be able
to consume his present supply of magnesium
without becoming "ffty.f0ld hotter" as We
are also informed he is sometimes capable
OF being. But If this theory can satisfy
the mind as to where this intolsrable heat
may come from, how is 1t going to ex-
plain the accompanying phenomena OF
such thunder-storms and borealic lights as
have been witnessed In the last fortnight
The grand aurora borealls which Illuminated
the heavens week ago, 80 far from bringing
the refreshing GOODNESS which usually accom-
panles such displays, was Immediately iol-
lowed BY days of almost uncomfortable heat, In
which the thermometer ran high among the
nIneties. This unusual heat, TOO, hos been
accompanied BY storms which in vlvldness Of
lightning, intensity of thunder and violence
of rain have never been surpassed, perhaps,
even among the hurricanes OF the tropics.
