THE DUBUQUE& SIOUX CITY n. x
lte Probable Lease to the Illinois
Central.

Our readers will be glad to learn tha, the
offer Of Messrs. Blair i Ames, for the pur-
chase Of the Dubuque & Sioux City Rail.
road, has been rejected by its Directors, and
sha, it will not be gobbled up by them ior
the Chicago & Northwestern Company, and
made mere side track for the convenience
Of t cir Iowa branch.
Negotiations for its lease BY the Illinois
Central Company are progressing, the part
les to the transaction being much nearer q
settlement OF the matter than at anv time
since the lease was proposed. The Dubuque
4 Sioux City Company insist that binding
agreement tor the speedy erection Of a
bridge at this point. and the extension of the
road to its Missouri, terminus, shall be in
cluded in the articles oftransier. and to these
important and just terms the Illinois Central
has assented. The whole matter will prob.
ably be settled within the next thirty DAYS.
What concerns Dubuque in this moves
ment is the selection to be made Of the point
on the river at which the bridge is TO be
built, which is to tell immensely for our
veal or woe.-Dabuque Times, 20sh.

The Impeachment Question.

The judiciary committee Of the House. to
whom was referred the charges again.,
President johnson preferred by Mr.. Ashley,
Of Ohio, have apparently gone to work in
earnest to collect evidence and thoroughly
investigate the subject. The whole question
Is involved in doubt, and there is q very
vide dif' renee Of opinion upon it among
Republicans throughout, the country. While
all agree that impeachment would be a
stroke of the highest moral justice, many
doubts of its present practicabili,y are enter
tanned. II is certainly an intricate question,
and while We must express sincere hope
that justice may prevail, and the President
bethrust from the position he has sc.sigually
disgraced, we cannot conceal the fact that
the probabilities are very much against 30
desirable q consummation.

We see i, stated that Mr.. Russell, editor OF
the Davenport Gazette, has been named in
connection with the Govornership, and tha,
he has announced that he will not consent to
be regarded 4 candidate. There are two
excellen, reasons why this course on the part
Of Mr. Russell should be heartily commend
- II w""'a he great nifty to spoil good
editor with the Governorship, and on the
other hand il is conceded that men like Mr..
Russell, who employed their gifts at home
during the war should very properly give
way 70 those who breasted the rebel storm
on the field.

almost certain that it can be made to
take the place Of leather for machinery
betting, and George A. Waters Of Troy,
y. Y, has demonstrated that paper
makes the best material for she'll boats,
by constructing one thirty feet long,
which weighs only forty pounds, and is
in every respect superior to boats made
of wood. 1t is quite thin, lighter than
a wooden boat, is rendered impervious
to water by a coating Of oil aud other
compounds, aud it is asserted that it is
more durable and that it will stand
shocks which would destroy a wooden
she'll. Other advantages claimed for it
are that it eau be made perfectly air
aud water tight, aud requires no caulk-
ing or pitching; it cannot be split or
broken, but ifa hole be made in it BY
accident, the perforation would be no
larger than the size of the object pierre
ing it, and could be easily mended; it
will not swell or crack, and last but not
least, the cost is much less than a wood
en- boat.
