Jury to one section or to one engine, or the
putting out of one fire, will not prevent the
boat from running. 1t is said that these
vessels can be made to run from sixteen to
twenty miles an hour without difficulty
If this is so, and we see no reason why
ocean vessels cannot be made to run that
fast, New York can be reached from this
port inside of fifteen days, allowing thirty
six hours for the Isthmus transit. This
speed, if it can be obtained, will not only
be desirable in the way of comfort, but veg
etables and other provisions may be kept
through the voyage, and thus the abomina-
bic fare of the present day be done away
with. The same reasons also, together
with the great number of passengers. will
reduce the rates ofpassage, and we under
stand that they viii be $50 for the Storage,
and 81 for the cabin.
Such are some of the main points in re-
lation to the new project. If ffteen-day
voyages can be accomplished; if good,
wholesome and palatable provisions can be
secured throughout the trips, and if the
price can be lowered to $50. every person
will see at glance that the improvements
will be great, and highly important to the
interests and welfare of the State.

Negroes Not u. S. Citizens

Application having been made to the State De-
partment for passports to a company of colored
minstrels, born in this country, about to visit Eu-
rope professionally, reply has been received by
Mr.. RICE, clerk of the Superior Court of New
York, who made the application, from ]. A. THoM
Esq, Assistant Secretary who states that Secre-
tary MARCY refuses the request. He SAYS.
"Apassport is certificate that the person to
whom it is granted is citizen ofthe United States
andi can only be issued upon proof of this fact
In the papers which accompany your communica-
ton there is not satisfactory evidence that the per-
sons Tor whom you requestpassports of thes des
cription. They are represented in your letter as
"coored, and described in the afIidavts as sblack
from which statementsit may fairly inferred that
they are negroes. If this is so, there can be no
doubt that they are not citizens of the United
States. The question whether free negroes are
such citizens is not presented for the first time,
but has repeatedly arisen in the administration of
the national and State governments.
SIN 1871 controversy arose as to whether free
persons of color were citizens Of the United States
within the intent and meaning of the acts of Con-
gress regulating foreign and coastng trade so as to
be disqualified to command vessels; and Mr.. Writ
Attorney General, decided that they were not, and
moreover held that the words citizens of the Uni
ted States were used in the acts of Congress in
the same in the constitution. This view is
also fully sust ined in recent opinion of the pre-
sent Attorney General.
sThe judicial decisions of the country are to the
same effect. In Kent's Commentaries, vol. 2. ID.
277 it is stated that in 1888 Chief Justice Dagget
of Connecticut, held that free blacks are not sct-
zens' within the meaning ofthe term used in the
constitution of the United States and the Supreme
Court of Tennessee in the of the State against
Claiborne, held the same doctrine.
"Such being the construction of the constitution
In regard to free Persons of color it is conceived
that they cannot be regarded, when beyond the ju-
rsdcton of this government, entitled to the full
rights of citizens; but the Secretary directs me to
say, that though the Department could not certify
that such persons citizens of the United States
yet satisfied ofthe truth fthe facts it would give
a certificate that they were born in the United
States and free; and that the government thereof
would regard it to be its duty to protect them if
wronged by foreign government, while within
| its jurisdiction for legal and proper purpose"

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
New Line of Steamers Between Sar
Francisco and New York.

a proposition is on foot in this city to
establish a new line of ocean steamers, to
run between San Francisco and New York
1t is proposed to build two new and splen-
did vessels, one for the Atlantic and ore
for the Pacific ocean, running respectively
to Aspinwall and Panama, making month
ly trips, until such time as more ships may
be found necessary, or greater number of
voyages advisable. From what we can
learn in relation to these new vessels, they
are intended to be magnificent Their es-
timated cost will be from $685. to
100000 each vessel. We have seen
drawings and plans of them, gotten up in
minute detail, and evidently with great la
Dor and calculation. The vessels will be
each 1926 feet long ard 50 in the BEAM
They will be built in three separate Sec
tons, or, more accurately speaking, there
will be three parts of the hull entirely Sc
parated by bulk heads, in such a way that
should leak or break happen is one part,
there would be two-thirds of the ship to
which the water could not penetrate
There would also be thirteen fire-engines.
four of them to be worked by steam, and
they would be so distributed that it would
be next to impossible for fire ever to OBJ
tain any Roadway. The vessels will also
be so constructed, on mechanical princi-
pies. that they cannot sink or sag down in
the middle, even if they were lifted at the
bow and stern. So that, as far as safety is
concerned. the plan seems excellent.
The vessels will be large enough to car
ry three thousand passengers at trip, and
great care seems to have been taken to Sc
cure their comfort. The cabins will run
nearly the whole length of the ships. and
will be so arranged as to make them, by
the very construction and arrangements,
great chambers for ventilation. The room
to be given to each passenger will be COM
paratively very large. The muDutie, how
ever, can only be understood by an inspec-
ton of the drawings, or by much more
detailed description than We can give here.
One of the main advantages, however,
claimed for the new steamers, will be the
greatly increased speed, 1t is proposed to
have two separate and distinct engines,
with four weels. The engines win be ip
