New Orleans.

The New York Tribune, of Friday, con-
tains the following:
Nothing of lats date testifies in a more
practical way to progress as the fact that
the new police of New Orleans are to be con-
stituted without distinction of color. The
justice of this reform is perfect; the retribu-
tion it contains is practical. Not many
months ago mob of savage white police
men massacred the unoffending blacks of
New Orleans. The moral consequences of
this martyrdom have come come TO pass in
good time. If c1-Mayor Monroe dares to
misbehave himself, he is liable to be collared
be black policeman. But at all events he
and others may get justice where they only
dealt out murder

committee, it will be seen, is composed of
one member from each State having Union
representation in either house of Congress:
Maine, Hon. Lot N. Morrill, New-Hamp-
shire, Hon. J. Ella; Vermont, Hon. w. G.

The object of this committee is to secure
a more efficient organization of the Republic
disseminate among the people thorough
knowledge of the great principles which form
the basis of its action. There never was a
time when such committee was more need
ed. The great masses at the South, whites
and blacks alike, are eager for information
On the vital issues of the day. Owing to the
fact that the press of the South is almost en-
tircly under the control of the enemies of the
Union, it becomes especially important that
every portion of that section should be visit
ed by such documents-speeches, newspa-
pers, &c.-as will give the people correct
view of the public questions before the coun-
try, and counteract the baleful influence of
the rebel press. We therefore call upon our
friends every where to contribute literally
to this cause, so that the finances of the COM
mittee may enable it to prosecute and accom-
plish the important work assigned it.

OILING THE SEA.-An experienced
sea captain writers to the New York
Herald that he has been at sea for TWEEN
ty-eight years, and master ofa vessel
for the last ten years, and during that
time he saved the vessel under his COM
mand twice by" oiling the sea-" He
writes that when the master of ship
cannot get out of a storm-that is when
a ship is disabled and he has to take
the heft of the gale-if he has oil on
board, start two or three gallons over
the side of the ship. This will give the
ship smooth water to the windward,
and then the oil allowed to run drop by
drop is all that is required, for as soon
as the sea comes in contact with the oil
it breaks, and the ship is in smooth
water rs long as the oil is allowed to
run. In 1864, in the heaviest gale of
wind / ever saw, / lost all my sails, then
the rudder; and [ know the vessel could
not have ridden the sea for an hour if !
had not had oil on board. Five gallons
of oil lasted me fifty-six hours, and this
saved the vessel, cargo and lives on
board. Let ships of heavy tonnage
have two iron tanks Of forty gallons
each, one on each side, with faucet so
arranged that the oil can be started st
any time; small vessels, ten gallon
tanks, and all ships boats tanks of five
gallons each, we'll filled, so that in case
the ship founder or burn, the boats will
have oil to smooth the sea in case of a
gale With these tanks of oil on board
of ships and good man for master-one
who knows the laws of storms and
handles his ship so as to get it out ofthc
centre of the storm, you will have no
more laundering of good ships st sea,
the loss of many lives and millions Of
money"

FRKEMAsoNRY.-T is no human
organization upon the globe that ever
has or ever will harmonic in one body
so many elements which are in external
conflict as the Masonic organization.
Its wise founders, if it ever had any,
organized it upon few simple but car
dinsl landmarks, which command the
appreciation and lay fast hold upon the
affections of its initiates, and which
furnish no ground ofcontroversy, admit
no improvement, and tolerate no change.
The laws of Masonry are as fixed,
immutable, and eternal as mathematics.
The old Patriarch Enoch inscribed
them upon pillar of stone, and trans
mitted them through the mighty flood !;
Noah taught them to two of his sons
upon the summit Of the sacred mountain
where his ark rested when the flood
subsidized, and the earth bloomed and
blushed again with vine and fruit under
the genial sun; Moses learned them
from the old priests on the banks of the
Nile; the men of Gabel carved them on
the rock ribs of the Mediterranean sea !;
Solomon and the two Hirams collected
them in a brief code at Jerusalem, and
the builders and re-builders of the Tenn
pie spread them over the globe; and
they were transmitted to US in legenda-
ry lines, as well as to the Indian chiefs
who inhabited and claimed to own this
great country before our forefathers
discovered it.-e7udge English.

SEWING MACHINES. Pending mo-
ton made by Mr.. Darling yesterday in
the House, to remove the tax upon sew
ing machines, that gentleman paid the
following eloquent tribute to this inyen-
ton, which we clip from the Globe re-
port of the debates: -.-.
MIR. Darling. Now, sir, admitting
that few Of the "pioneers'' in this art
unceasing and almost unparalleled en-
terprise and perseverance, succeeded in
acquiring q competence; they have
richly earned it, and I say let them en-
Joy it: But these parties have general
ly retired from the business, and it is
now in the hands of new and younger
men men who are not rich, nor likely
soon to become so. Men who, however,
are eminently public spirited, proven
bially liberal, and always loyal. Men
who have strivcn from the outbreak of
the rebellion to keep their prices at the
gold basis, and who have done so.
Men whose avowed policy it is to re-
duce rather than advance prices, and
whose ambition it is to place a sewing
machine in every household in the land.
l say shall this interest, shall these men
suffer because their predecessors one
perhaps out of every hundred of the in
ventors in the art have made some
thing? Shall they be driven to increase
their prices or add the manufacturers
tax (which they have hitherto refrain
ed from doing) to the price of the ma
chine 2
Who suffers by this Is it not the
poor sewing girl ? Il it not she who is
watching and guarding her meacre
earnings, prayerfully looking forward
to the day when she will be able to
buy sewing-machine When she, too,
In common with the thousands now
possessing them, may have the means
OF always acquiring respectable and
honest living? Why, sir, there is not
person within the hearing of my voice
who does not know and acknowledge
that this invention has done more to
elevate, amsliorate, and improve the
condition OF woman, whether rich or
poor, whether in the workshop or in
the family, whether in the " boudoir"
of the refined or the garnet of the toll
ing seamstress, than any instrumental
ty ever before devised. Why, sir, this
is a public benefaction; it is an art
which this Government should be proud
to foster and encourage; for it comes
home to every fireside, it lightens the
burdens and gladdens the heart of every
mother, every wife, and every sister in
the land. Every widow made desolate
by the war and dependent upon the
scanty earnings other daily toll to feed
her helpless orphans is interested in
this question. I say, then, God speed
to the thousands of men who are manu-
featuring these machines, and who are
distributing and educating the people
in their use throughout every section
of our country. hope there is not
member of this House who will not vote
for this amendment.
Pure gold, every word. Yet the
House, strange as it may appear, which
seemed but the evening before ready
to place the valuable article of sewing
machines upon the free list by general
acclaim, now, under the adverse ma
neuvering of Mr. Allison, of Iowa, and
the mistaken opposition of MIR. Conk-
ling, of New York, failed to sustain Mr.
Darling's amendment.

the disastrous floods in that section. He state.
that the whole valley of the river is inundated,
and the water is from twenty to fifty, and in one
place one hundred miles WIDE All live stock is
drowned; men, women and children, on rats

The South---Testimony of Gen. Soho.

The South---Testimony of Gen. Scho-
field.
The following is part of the testimony
of Gen. Schofield before the South Carolina
Investigating Committee:
Question. How is it about Furnishing Of
lenses by means of civil law in Virginia
when they have been committed on men
who have the reputation of being Union
men, or freedmen, in respect to offenses COM
mitted on soldiers Ans. l do not think
there are any cases in which offenses against
soldiers have gone before courts at ali. There
are very few cases reported to me in which
offenses have been committed against men
alleged to be Union men. l know some one
or two of these cases where persons report
alleged injustice in relations of that kind,
there are failures on the part of the State
courts to punish men who have committed
assaults on Union men but that distinction
is comparatively rare in Virginia, as far as 1
have been able to learn. But cases of hos
tility and outrage of one kind and another
by white men upon freedmen are common,
and in almost all such cases the State courts
fail to do justice, that is, fail to punish white
men for assaults and outrages committed
upon freedmen.
O. What is the difficulty? Is it in the
arrest and punishment, or in the disposition
of the men who try them? A. In the dis
position of magistrates and jurors. When it
is a civil question alone, a question OF money,
uninfluenced by any other question, think
they almost always do justice to the freed
men but when that question is affected by
the allegation upon the part of white men of
INSTRUMENTATION, or disrespect, or insolence
on the part of the colored man, that allega-
ton will justify him in the opinion of the
local magistrates, or jurors, for inficting up
on freedmen any punishment he may see fit,
either by driving them off the plantation
without wages, or, as has been done in some
cases, shooting them.
@. The principal difficulty, then, is the
administration of justice among freedmeni
A. That is the difficulty.
O. Can you discover no remedy in the
courts A. I think at present no speedy
remedy can he expected from the civil courts
of Virginia. Report says that the higher
courts, almost without exception, do justice
as between whites and blacks but that the
lower magistrates, who are elected by the
people, and the jurors, scarcely ever do JUS
tice to the black man against the white.
Q. And these lower courts are the princi-
pal ones that try criminal cases? A. Yes
sir; they dispose of nearly all cases in which
the black men are concerned. The black
man is too poor to carry it to the higher
courts. Practically, if the employer on n
plantation chooses to drive the colored man
off without his wages, alleging that he was
insolent, or insubordinate, or neglectful of
his duty, he is without remedy.-Memphis
