The General AhaoiuM) to Adjourn Slue l?Ui Saturday Uetrospfcllvc mid l'rouneetlve V jf The heavy tapestry of uncertainty j which lmb obscured even a glance lit the hopeful prospeet of an etui to the seemingly endless session of the gener al assembly up to g week ago has been pulkd aside at la#t and weary eyes of woruout pationije-cxhuuHtod newspaper men have been permitted to rest on the cheering visioj^ of next Haturdiiy standing with arm raised aud holding a placard on which appeared the in scription, "Final adjournmout March 7," tbo emblem of rest and relief from a uix months monotony. Tliosp long vfecks have not been like woman "varium ct multibile aorapor feinioa. " It has been tho same woary/'demuition grind" thut all men chafe under. Ami it may be said that the arrival of tho last week of the session is moro or less joyously received by many memborrf aud the mass of the people. ^ But all thitigs must come to an end on ctfrth sooner or later aud tho long session of the Mouth Carolina parlia ment will conclude with this week. That is what the concurrent resolution says aud what every one is expecting, though thero may bo some opposition still to changing "sub juries" to "sui juris," when tho phrase appears i:i a new statuto. During tho patt wo'jk the general assembly ban accomplished moro renl work than during any proceeding fort night. Nearly all of tho important bille~ the bills that had to be disposed of? i have been gotten out of tho way iu tho bouse, and aro ou the read to linal disposition in ample time to al low the adjournment to tako place at the appointed time. The general appropriation and sup ply bills have been sent to tho Senate. Of course thero was of necessity much hard work on t/i^tri. The <1 1-iJ mill levy has dcen definitely decided jtpon at last, and tho taxpayers foel'C'asier, while the income tax scheme has died' he death it was destined to die. Gov ernor Evans has been given his $6,000 in rather a satisfactory way aud there won't bo any trouble in tho Sonato over it. The house has given tho State fair $2, 100 for premiums. It was not thought that tliyro would be opposition to this in thfe somite, but tho senate committee has reported un favorably as to tho item. It will scarcely result in its being stricken out, however. The pension bill has ulr>o been -dis posed of during the past week, making a liberal appropriation for tho Con federate veterans, their widows aud their orphans, and a committee of freo conference is now settling the differ ences between the two houses. Tho general school law has beeh pretty thoroughly worked over iu tho house, and th<u county school super intendents are 'going to stay unless the comrnitteo adjusting the differences decides to leave them out after all. The election precinct bill has been disposed of finally, also iu the houtpf' On Saturday, the bill to prevent tho oxtravagaut piinting of report of State officers was disposed of, passing tab house. Tho other priutiug bill ? the important one reducing the compensa tion, for the public priutiug? is still resting easy on tho senate calendar. Thero was an interesting fight in tho house over tho bill to transform the dispensary law into a temperauco law, before it was killed, and for the first j time voices were raised agaiust dis ' pc usury system. The house has also passed tho im portance bill providing for a State bank examiner, though tho senate wished to imposj tho duties of that office on the Ststo treasurer. Nearly all tho other general bills have been disposed of by 'the house, aud tho special order caleudar is well nigh empty at last. Mr. Otis' school book bill is on A. now, as is alinxJudgo Townsend's bill rchVtiug to telegraph and express companies*' The rfiilroad bill relating to tin/ interchange of freights has passed .the house aud the senate nil right anil there will bo no further trouble ovenit. The house made a Vigorous attack on ifs caleuilar ou Saturday and a couple more days' work of the'samc kind will get it pretty well cleared.

"The dock, a wooden one, was bo gun threo years ugo,,aiid, with certain needed alterations, suggested by the test-doekUigf of the monito.* Amphitiitc, has been pushing to completion within tho preseut year. Tho structure has an extrotno loupth of 490 feet, a floor or bottom length of 450 feet, and an extreme brodth of 97 feet. The depth of sill at high water is 20 feet, with a variation of 25 feet between tho ordi nary spring and tho noap hixh tides. A peculiar foature of the dock is tho tar concrete filling behind tho sides or altars, by which tho basin is made practically watertight.' "Two o:>ntifrugril pumpy, with a mean individual discbarge of 85,000 gallons a minute, will dram tho dock, requiring for that servii.) something over an hour and a half. With certain modification** demanded by the navy department, tho doek was built alter the plans of O von Norta, by Justin McCarthy, tho contractor, both Wash lugtouiaus. { "Today this dock is tho only com pleted one iu tho United States able to take in one of our,firKt class battle ships, aud tho strategic meaning -of I his becouMu moro mirrked- whfiwrt is known that tho next nearest is that at Halifax, Nova Scotia, which, by tho law of neutrality nnd tbo limited timo allowance, would bo depied us in a soaHon of hostilities.
