Mr. Reed then made n motion to have the cases “formally dlamissed, anit an order was entered to that effect by Judee Blodgett, Techuivatly these soite are still pending in the Supreme Court of the United Stutes, as the mandates remanding them in accordance with the recent decision of the Supreme Court have not been recelyed or filed here so as to reinstute them so they cau Le dismissed.

When Sin Yan had taken the oath Judge Gary sakt that he wished mors lawyers were present. It had been deeded in California that 9 Chinaman coutd not be naturatized, while in New York the raling was the other way, and he wished any one who lind objections to make to step forth, Nobedy, however, wos so rush gs to run the risk of losing dohin’s vote by com- fug out against him now, und the new-made citizen departed happy.

Port Exvs, La., June 10, 18i0.—T7o the Fuitor of the New York Tribune: The Isthmus Canal Congress recently held in the City of Paris has presented to the elyilized world atl the results of the various surveys and extinates which have been thus far made, Ibelleve in the effort to overcome the great barrier interposed by the Amerlean istiinus to interoceanic navigation. ‘The fact that the Congress comprised ahiong ita members many of the moat able and dis- Ungulshed engineers and scientists in Christen- dom is at once an usstirance thut its estimates aint opinions are entitled to the highest respect. From these it appears thut the most economies solution of this great question by means of a vanal must involve the expenditure of at least $140,000,000, asd possibly anuch more, and that the execution of the work will occupy from filteen to twenty-flye years from tite time the work ts commenced,. Theso facts jus- tify the conclusion: 1. ‘Thatthe amount of capttal required fa 60 Vast hit ft will not pay to exveute the work with private means alone. 2. That the amount cannot probably be obtained unless the Governments ‘of the several marition nations directly interested tu the work von be iuduced tu contribute Uberally in aid of the enterprise. 3. ‘That the time required for consummating the work ts so reat that the enlasment of the com- pleted cunal must vecessarily be reserved to the Hext generation. In view of these facts, fs It not wise to care- fully consider other lucerine expedients whieh have been, or whi may be, siugzested for the transportation of ships ind thelr cargoes aerosa the istbnitst ft 1s,a5 Lf am informed, recommended by the Paris Conuress thut the isthius be cut down below the level of the tivo buas to such a depth ag is needed for the pas- sayo of ships froin sea to Ken, und thus avoid the uay of locks in the cua, ‘To do this in- volvea the construction of a tunnel four niles long through the Cordilleras, of such dimen- stons that the one nnider Mount Cenls dwindles into Insiguiiicanes when compared with it. ‘This method hus been justly termed ‘the heroic ‘reatment."! ‘The term, however, §s not luiited In its apnileation, and suggests elmilar treatment, to the Panuma Kallroad, or to some other road which mav be canstructed for the transportation of the largest ships, with their entire cargovs overland trom acean to acean, My own studies hava satislied me of the entire feasibility of such transportation by ratlroad, and d havo no hesitation in saying that for a eu hotexceediys oue-third the estinmted cost of the canal, namely, about 350,000,000, the largest shipa while enter the port of New York cau be tromaferred, when filly loaded, with absolute safely. veross the fsthinus, on uw railway cone structed for that purpose, within twenty-four hours from the ioment they are taken tn charge in ono sea until they aro delivered into the other, ready to depart on their journey, On such a railway across the isthiais ‘thera need be no urades 6tegper than those on our ids, und the roud bet need not be over forty fect wide, nor huve more than vight or ten rails luid upon it to sustaly the car orerule upon whieh the ship ia placed, ‘The vessel ghoul be Iitted from ihe seuto the level ofthe road by wlockor by other well-known hydraullg devices, and placed upon acer or eradle of ainple strength to sustain te vessel with her cargo without the posailility of injury.
