A great sale Of steamboat stock was ma
tured Yesterday T. B. Rhodes, President

'
| A great sale Of steamboat stock was ma
tured yesterday T. B. Rhodes, President
Of the Northern Line Packet Company, pur-
chased the entire stock and interest Of the
/ Rapids Packet Company, and the transfer
Of property took place this morning. The
Rapids Line consisted Of the New Boston,
| City of Keithsburg and Jennie Whipple.-
This line had the contract for carrying the
mails between this point and keokuk for
fvc years. and also q contract with the rail-
road company for the transportation Of
freight for like period Of time, which in
tercsts were included in the sale In fact,
this line occupied almost an entire business
| monopoly Of the river it navigated, and had
become a serious dctrimcnt to the interests
Of the Northern Line, whose organization
had been in existence many years previous
to that Of its competitor. The New Boston
and City of Keilhsburg are new boats and
cost about seventy thousand dollars this
season. while the Jennie Whipple is com
paratiycly worthless for the position she has
filed In the freighting capacity she might
serve for year or so longer. We presume
it required several Thousand dollars to pur-
chase the good viii and patronage Of this
line over and above the present valuation Of
its stock.
Hereafter the New Boston and Muscatine
will carry the mails and passengers between
here and keokuk, and the Pcmbina will do
the frcighting business. These are both
new boats, and their adaptation to the
vents Of this trade are excellent All Of
their officers are proficient, and command
high respect with shippers and Travellers
What will be done with the City Of Ne tbs
burg and Jennie Whipple we are unable to
state.
We think the Northern Line Packet Com
pany have taken very wise step, and that
the outlay is safe investment. The satis-
faction that their efforts have already given,
and the disposition they have manifested to
sustain an organization of first class steam
crs for years past, rather entities them, we
think, to continuation of patronage. They
have labored most increasingly and without
cxtortion, t. accomplish what they hav.,
and we hope that success will be their re
ward
L. NJ. Prettyman will conduct their busi-
ness as heretofore, assisted by J. H. San
ders and Frank w. Watson

Hon. John Tracey, OF Oxford, Chenhugo
county, n T., died at his residence on Sat-
urday morning last, aged eighty years He
:us native Of Connecticut, but moved to
Chencneo county In early life. He repre-
eented his county several times in the Legis-
1ature, and was for several years first Judge
Of The Court Of Common Pleas under the
old Constitution. He was subsequently ap-
pointed Circuit Judge and Vice Chancellor
OF the 5th Circuit, by Gov. ThrooP, about
1850, hut declined the honor on: account OF
delicate health. He WAS for eight years
Lieutenant Governor Of New York, and IT,
ebseio President Of the Court for the Cor
rection of E1rors, and WAS delegate from
Chenango to the Constitutional Convention
in l846, of which body he was the presiding
ofhctr.
1t will give great satfe!actfon to the nu-
merous friends of Hon. Henry G. Stebbine,
of New York, to know that he is slowly but
surely recovering from his severe ulness-
He cannot leave his room, and will not be
in his stat before the close Of tho present
session; but there Is every reason to hope
that be will be eventually restored to robust
health

Yesterday evening during the discussion
OF the new Loan bill, Nj. Stevens, Chairman
of tho Committee ou Ways aud Neans, made
rerJ: singular speech He expressed the
opinion TINT all our troHbles arise from tha
extraordinary demand for gold, for gold y
not now currency. In 1856, the banks, fall
inE to loan the Government money, ne Wcre
ders. No system ever worked better IN this
or any other country. He supposed that spe-
Gle payments Nould not be resumed Tor ten
years to come. During thek krest Napolconto
war; the Bank Of England Suspended specie
payments from 1796 to 18oa. Whoever looks
for more speedy resumption OF spe-
Gle payment IN this county was' n

deprecated the present policy Of paying
tue interest on the debt In gold, Aad asserted
that II this should continue, with au Increase
Of debt, the Government would talL II was
fatal policy, which rests as an incubus up
on rs, and gold would continue to 80 up, -
1e long ago predicted, until the Government
cannot tai high enough to procure the com.
It MAS to saTo the country from reputation
that he made one mora effort. He then ex-
p!aiued the character Of an amendment he
IxI offered and which was to authorize tho
borrowing OF four hundred million OF dol
lars, and TO issun therefor coupons or regis
tered bonds Of the United States, redeema-
bic ut the pleasure Of the Government, after

payable at any period net more than forty

retary of the Treasury al III direct, not less
than fifty dollars, and kear an annual interest
not exceeding eight per centum, payable seml-
annually. MI. Stevens and the Secretary Of
The Treasury differ widely in theit views and;
the former gentleman in private Is not at all
guarded in expressing Ills views Of the con-
dition of affairs. to which he asserts Mr.
Chase's policy, if peraeyered In, will lead NJ.
