and the bill, as thus amended, was ordered to be
printed.
The army appropriation bill, amended, was
passed.
The House spent the day in committee in the dis
cussion Of the graduation bill The form of the

A proposition is pending to take the question to-
morrow at noon.

Relative permanenoy of Dry-Dook,.

Il is enormously supposed by some persons un
acquainted with the facts, that the improved
stone dry dock, formed by the combination OF sec
uonal floating dry-dock with basin and railways.
Is less permanent and durable than the old fashioned
stone dry-dock.
The mistake arises from not taking into consider
alton the fact that the perishable parts Of the latter
plan are really about equal in expense TO those of
the former.
The two great wooden gates of the common stone
dock at Norfolk cost $4,000; and the estimate Of
their cost fora dock at New York is S76,754; (s,s
doc No l46, Isl session 2Sh Congress p. 81 and the
cost OF the steam engines, pumps, wells, and engine
house OF the Chsresown dock was ST. 277; (sss same
doc, ll) So that the cost of the gates, engines
pumps, DC. for the common stone dock is altoeeber
sl54,03l; and these necessary fixtures are equally
perlshabe as the sectional floating dock with its
engines and pumps. being made of the same mate
rails Now, 1t appears that this floating dock, with
ITS engines and pumps all complete for raising the
largest ship OF the line costs only the sum of 1885,
OOO, or less than $4,000 the cost of the per-
lshable parts of the common stone dock This
difference Is more than counterbalanced by the fact
that the floating dock is constantly mostly SUBJ
merged under water, and thereby rendered more
durable, whereas the gates Of the common stone
dock are exposed alternately to air and water and
thus rendered more perishahle The basin and rail-
ways, which constitute the larger portion of the ex
pense OF the improved plan built Of hewn stone
or foundations ofpiles, and are even more durable
than the walls and bottom Of the common stone
dock, because not exposed, as the latter is, to the
upward pressure of the water, or the
wash of alternately emptying and filing being kept
constantly filled with water.
These facts require only to be known-and they |
can be ascerained by any one who who will take |
the trouble to refer to the document above mention
ed-to establish the fact of the equal permanently |
and durability of the improved plan of dock with |
hat Of the common stone dry-dock now in use at |

At the request of a N. Y. correspondent who com.
plansofthe delays in the mail between this city and
New York, we have ascertsined at the General Pos,
Office, that on the LIST, 3D., and 5th July, failures
occurred to connect at Baltimore, from Washington,
with the mail line going from Baltimore to Phila-
delphs, caused by injuries to the railroad bv the
recent rams and that on the 3D. 4th, 5th and 9Th Of
July, failures ofthe New York train to connect at
Philadelphia with the mail leaving for Washington
also occurred; doubtless from the same cause.

The very extravaganee of this supposition-the
offence il implies to the good sense as well TO the
good faith Of Mr., Dass-is so gross, that on re-
viewing what we have written, we almost wonder
al ourselves for thinking II worthy OF the notice we
have taken Of it. We have heard Mr.. Dallas spo-

is any diseord in regard to this point between him
