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 senate
bills will be passed over for a couple of
days more.
The house election of a public printer
has been fixed for Tuesday. Mr,
C'alvo, tho present public printer, wi#
stand for rc-oloction, and will bo op
posed for tbf position by Mr. T. S.
I>ryan aiso ol tins city. On tho same
day two trustees of the Wiuthrop Nor
mal college will be elected, as will niso
the State code commissioner. Mr.
Jlrcazcalo is expected to be elected to
the latter position.
The bill providing fop-ten judicial
circuits has never been considered yet
and it is not likely now that it will be
touched at Lliis session, but will bo loft
hanging ru mid-air .when tho body
adjourns.
Mr. Earlo's bill to provide for a sys
tem of county courts is ulso to far down
on the calendar that it stands little or
no opportunity of passing at this ses
\siou, even though should it encounter
noopposition.
The fight over th? metropolitan po
lice bill w as fought in the Sonato dur- *
ing tbe week juet closed, and no
| cLangee will be made in the law at it
, standi). ?
Tbo bill providing for tne number
and pay of the magistrates in the State '
has also been aucceeefully engineered
through.
One of the features of the pant week
in the^ftonate was the attempt to pass a
provision in the tax exemption bill over
the veto of the governor, and another
*as the fight in the House over the
, railroad passenger rate bill.

T11K "INDIANA" TO UK DOCKKD.
idtuK-^ln* Information About tho
Affair.
Tho next matter of general interest
to occur iu this Btuto is the docking of
tho great battleship "ludiaua" of the
United States navy ut Port ltoyal
'lliursday. Tho indications now are
that tli is loUfCitipg event will bo wit
nessed by a vt ry iurgo assemblage from!
many quarters. \
Governor Evans will attoud, and it
is thought that Governor Atkinson of
Georgia will al?o l o present. Tho
governor of Indiana was expected to
bo present, but-ho has written Govern*
or Evau:Mhat it will bo impostjblo to
attend. Many people from that State
will be there however.
Tho Port ltoyal and Western Caro
lina railroad bus announced that it will
run a special excursion train starting
from Spartanburg, going by Groen
woo?| to Augusta and thenco over tho
Port ltoyal aud Augusta road to l'ort
lioy<tl. Tho round trip fixed rato is
only $2. 25. This oxouraion will oarry
an immense crowd of people to Port
ltoyal. Augusta will scud a largo dele
gation.
Mr. Craig, the goneral passenger
agent of the Port Koyal and Augusta,
road, in his official aunouuoomout says
that tho Secretary of tho Unitod'Statos
navy and the naval committees of both
Houses of Congress aro expected to bo
present aud witness tho docking. lie
also says that "military will bo in ut-t
tendance and excursions will bo.xtra
from all points in Giprgiaand Month
Caroli. a to witnoss the injuring event.'
The Indiana is 850 feot long, has a
tonnage of 10,255; carries 10 guus^in
tli3 main battery and 100 men and
draws 21 feet of water.
'?'hero will bo steamboat excursions
around tho arbor of Port ltoyal carry
ing tho visitors up to tho ship'
Tho following interesting in lorrnnt ion
about the event is taken from Harper's
Weekly :
"A substantial uotion,^ of what tho
Indiana battled with ou her speed trial
will bo shown when, in a few days,
that ship goes into the newly finished
dry dock at Port ltoyal, South Carolina;
then, too, can bo gauged how much
more might havo boon added lo her
splendid poi formaueo and tho exche
quer of her builders bad sho gone forth
with her bottom wholly freed of
acquatio vegetation.
"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.
"ThorfmisMou of tho Indiana will
try to tho utmost tho possibilities of
tho dock and establish tho soundness
of a very vital factor in tho maintou
anco of our lino of battle's efficiency,
while widening our resources? de
