Qualification.

Every Mason of ordinary intelli-
gence knows that color is neither q
qualification or disqualification for ad-
mission to a lodge. Any lodge can
initiate q colored man if it sees proper
to do so. But the colored lodges al
ready existing are not, and cannot be
recognized as legal. With the legiti-
mate or llegitimate, they are intru-
ders in other jurisdictions, and no
Grand Lodge in America can recognize
them without abandoning its claim to
exclusive jurisdiction. And if the
lodges cannot be recognized, certainly
the members cannot. If the colored
man wishes TO become a Mason, let
him pursue the same course that white
men do, and apply to a legally consti-
tuted lodge, and if he should even
then be rejected, he will have Jared no
worse than many white man has
before.
The physical qualifications of q can
didate are, that he must be man, free
born, of lawful age, being neither too
young nor too old for the Masters
work, hale and sound, not deformed
or dismembered. This is q landmark
in which no man or body Of men can
make change or innovation. If, there
fore, q Master in q lodge cannot be
conscientiously satisfied in his own

New Orleans. Dec. 49, 1871

New Orleans, Dec. 19, 1871.
The officers of the State govern
ment of Louisiana have their offices
in the Mechanics Institute, large
and rather imposing building on
Dryades street, one block above
Canal. The Legislature meets here
also. The Senate Chamber is on
the lower floor, whilst the Repre-
sentatives meet in large room
above. Many stormy scenes have
been witnessed in and around this
building since the close of the war;
At times great mobs composed of
infuriated men, thirsting for the
blood of the newly enfranchised
have surged up and down the street
hooting and bowling like demons.
The Executive Chamber, occu-
pied by Gov. H. C. Warmoth and
his private Secretary, Mr.. Bragdon,
is small but neatly fitted up room
contiguous to the Senate Chamber

Civil Rights for Colored Men.

Within the last three days we
have had the first opportunity to
read the official report of the debate
in the Senate on Mr.. Summers
Supplementary Civil Rights bill
offered as an amendment to the
universal amnesty bill. It has
given us the sincerest pleasure, as
well for the mastery skill and abili-
ty MIR. Sumner displayed in answer
ing and exposing the sophistry of
MIR. Hill, of Georgia, in defending
and justifying the indignities to
which colored men are still SUBJ
jected, as for the just, patriotic, and
manly sentiments he so eloquently
proclaimed. The disagreeable fea-
ture OF the discussion was the fact
that, at this late day, in the face of
the constitutional guarantee ofequal
civil rights to all of our citizens, and
the civil rights act passed to enforce
this provision, a Senator, coming
into Congress with a constituency
of ninety thousand colored voters,
and colored population of nearly
half a million. should feel justified
in refusing to recognize the great
principle of justice, humanity, and
equality, and in striving to keep
alive the old pro slavery feeling of
prejudice and hatred to the colored
race.
Mr.. Hill talks as gibly about
social equality" and the necessity
Of keeping up a distinction between
black and whites, as the noisiest
Northern Democrat in the palmy
days Of the divine institution.
Though colored men are every day
subject to the insult of being ex-
cluded from railroad cars, public
houses. and public places Of smuse-

mind, as his own unbiased opinion,
that the candidate has in fact these
necessary qualifications he cannot
conscientiously, therefore, he cannot
masOnically, initiate. nor can brother
not SO satisfied conscientiously or
masonically vote for or be present at
the initiation of such candidate. The
same rule applies to passing and
raising when the defect has not arisen
since initiating. The Master or brother
cannot in this matter substitute for his
own conscience or opinion the con-
science or opinion of any other man
or body of men no dispensation or
advice can protect the offender it
can only make shares in his guilt
Decision of Grand Master of New
York.
When a companion objects to the ad-
vancement of a candidate, it is his
right to keep his reasons secret, and
his objection must be respected. But
if he thinks proper to dispense with
his right to secresy and give his rea-
SONS, it is then tho province of the
Chapter to pass upon their validity,
and if the majority deem them INSULT
cient, to proceed with the advance
ment.
NJ. MA candidate has been pro-
posed and elected, but before present
ing himself for initiation he met with
an accident, the result of which will be
a permanent lameness. Can he be
initiated?
Answer.-No
E. C.-Is there any law to prevent
the initiation of candidate who is in
all respects worthy, but who is unable
to read or write.
Answer.-Yes. The law requiring
him to sign the petition for initiation,
and to make written answers to the
questions required by our regulations,
to be presented to every applicant for
initiation.
P. P. P.-The commissioners in a
Masonic trial have no power to allow
the charges to be altered, amended, or
withdrawn. Their province is to hear,
try, and determine the same. If the
complainant desires to withdraw the
charges, the commissioners could re-
port that fact to the Lodge, and ask for
instruction; or, no evidence being Of
fferred for the prosecution, they could
report the charges not proved.

hands of the Democrats within ten
days afterward. Mr.. Riley has done
nobly, and his constituents will re-
ward him with their appreciation
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Hon. ADoLpHE TUREAuD, of. st.
James, stands alone in the delega-
ton from this district as having re-
fected disgrace upon himself and
grossly misrepresented the people
who elected him. The only reason
that can be- assigned for Mr.. Tu-
reaud's support Of the Customhouse
Democratic faction in his personal
animosity towards Governor War
moth, for what cause we cannot
conjecture. Words fail to express
the loathing and contempt we feel
for the colored man who will will
ingly aid in a project to overthrow
the party to which he is indebted
for his freedom and his position in
life. There is not one iota of prin-
cipal involved in Mr.. Tureaud's op-
position to the Republican portion
of the House; be is q hot-headed
young man, and for the sake of
charity we ascribe his shameful
course to an almost ungovernable
temper. Passion has blinded bis
eyes, and he saw not the precipice
towards which he was helping to
drag the Republican party. Let US
hope he will wake from his dalusion
and, in so far as he can, retrieve his
great error. If he does this he may
receive at least toleration from his
constituents, but if he does not, his
political ruin and disgrace are in
evitable.
Taken altogether, the representa-
ton from this Senatorial District is
good. Three of our Representa-
tives are allied upon the side of Re
publicanism, while but one supports
the iniquitous law-breakers whose
outrages are beyond comparison
with anything in the history of the
government of this or ANY othe,
Republic. OF our Senator Hon. O
Hunsaker, we have deemed it un.
necessary to speak, as every one
knows that he isl lone of the most
earnest and effective supporters Of
the administration in the State.
His course in the Senate is one that
any man might feel proud of, and
if the people of the Second Congress
sional District shall select him fo,
their next representative in Con-
gress, our decided opinion will be
that they could not find a bette,
man, or one that has earned q
greater right to the honor.-Donald-
sonville Chief

Our Representatives.

In the last issue of the Chief we
said it should be our especial pro-
vince to watch over and make
known to our readers the respective
courses taken by the several repre-
sentatives in the lower house of the
General Assembly from the Seventh
Senatorial District, and here is their
record for the first five days of the
session:
Hon. MILToN MORRIS, from this
parish, has proven himself staunch
and consistent Republican, be it
said to his honor. His vote has
been cast invariably in opposition
to the mongrel coalition headed by
that ex-Confederate Colonel, Geo.
W. Carter, and in favor of the
friends Of the administration, who
have had such a hard fight to per-
petuate Republicanism in Louisiana.
Mr.. Morris will come back to his
people with his hitherto bright re-
cord still brighter, and will receive
their hearty thanks and unqualified
endorsement for representing them
so faithfully.
Hon. De Writ C. Brown, also
from his parish, came near making
fatal mistake by voting with the
mongrel revolutidhists during the
first two days of the session, but
the disgraceful and illegal conduct
Of the faction, and especially of its
leader, convinced him that the
crowd would not do to tie to, so on
the third day he allied himself with
the friends of the administration.
We do not anticipate that Mr..
Brown will return to Ascension to
receive thanks from the people,
however. He has not misrepresented
them, and that is all they demand
or expect of him.
Hon. HENRY RILEY, of st. James,
has pursued course that will re-
dound to his everlasting credit. Mr..
Riley was a warm friend and sup
porter of the late lamented Lieu.
tenant Governor Dunn, but when
he found those who had been po-
liticaIly allied with that distinguish
ed gentlemen, conspiraring with the
Democracy to overthrow the Re
publican party and Republican State
Government, he did just precisely
what Governor Dunn would had he
been living: came out boldly in
support of the administration, throw
ing aside personal animosity and
considering only that the life Of
the great party of equal rights was
in danger, and that the success Of
the faction with which he had been
Unidentified would throw the State
Government completely into the

intellect, has an intuitive knowledge
of human nature, as it were, which
enables him to arrive at conclusions
with great accuracy, and is repre-
sented as being one of the finest
speakers in the State. After the
organization of the colored troops
he received the appointment of
captain and faithfully served his
country in the field. He never was
a slave. Immediately on the re-
cognization of the State he took an
active part in politics and soon be-
came a representative man. Being
naturally shrewd and quick to de-
vine the intention of his adversaries
he is formidable opponent in the
political arena. Mr.. Pinchback-
socially they call him "Pinch" for
short-has had rather a turbulent
career since his advent in politics
in this city, and he has successfully
passed through many trying occa-
sions. Repeated attempts have been
made to assassinate him. Rancorous
rebels have gone so far as to hire
colored men to put him out of the
way, and on one occasion he was
shot at five times on Canal street,
but escaped. That a wrong i'm
preston prevails in the North with
reference to the Lieutenant Gov
ernor as a man, we are fully salts
fed. He is just what we have des-
cribed him-a gentleman of refine
ment and cultare-and the very op-
posite of what his name would seem
to indicate.
The late Lieut.. Governor Dunn
was a representative man also, and
the great champion of his race in
Louisiana. He was black, but a
man of culture, and presided in the
Senate with great dignity. The
published statement that he was a
slave at one time, and which has
gone the rounds of the papers, is
mphatically denied here. He learned
the trade of a plasterer, but having
a great talent for music, adopted it
as a profession and taught it for
several years. He was held in
great esteem here by all classes, and
when he died it is estimated that
fully 10000 people followed his
remains to the grave. The funeral
procession is generally spoken of as
the largest ever witnessed in New
Orleans.
We also had the pleasure of a
very interesting meeting with Gen.
Heron, Secretary of State. The
General is a Pennsylvania and
halls from Pittsburg. We also met
a number of Senators and members
of the House of Representatives,
both white and black, and conversed
with them freely and on the state
of affairs.
The Legislature convenes early
in January. when, owing to the war
of the factions, an interesting and
exciting time is expected. 1t is
hoped that a reconciliation will take
place between the antagonistic ele-
ments, and that peace and harmony
may be restored at an early day.
Issues of vital importance are at
stake-the interest of Louisiana de-
mand that the utmost good will and
harmony should prevail. They are
essential to the peace and preserva-
ton of the country as well as the
stability of our republican institu-
tions.

LA PERDUE.

Face that haunts me wherever turn
With a smile that is no smile, painted
Eye where's perilous light hath shone;
And cheek whose sham carnations burn
For the innocent roses gone!
Roses? Ah yes; once hers, no doubt,
None wore once a robe more sweet.
Alas that fairness should be so feet !!
Than the woman her purer sisters fout,
And shame to pass on the street.
None walked prouder in maiden's estate:
None lived life more blithely free
Just another like you and me;
Though she knocks to-day at bolted gate,
Bolted to such as she
Her flower grew old ere the bud was blown,
Paled aud shrank in its tender spring.
Shriveled and fell, wounded thing;
Fell in the dust, to lie alone,
Crushed and quivering.
Yet think how she that seeming gay,
Though joyless joys be hers, 1 wish,
Haunts the edge of a precipice.
May have thrown her white young soul
away,
Who knows, for single hiss
T,;ll a doom, mora bo,>aloSc Tho, 6, HID III
A blacker death than the grave can
hide,
Follow her blackly side by side;
Follow her cramped in a fatal spell,
No penitence ever united!
How must she weep for that youth-time
bright;
How must she sometimes moan and
cry,
With terrible tears of agony;
Tasting bitterly base delight,
Till her swift hour come to die.
Till the sweet, swift hour of Lethe come,
With plentiful balm for bosom and
lip,
That whose thirsts for shall surely lip,
And into future sightless and dump,
The merciful dark, she slip
Oh earth, has thou nothing but this to
give?-
Oblivion and shadow to hide her
shame,
| Corruption and ashes to cover her
| name!
Canst thou give her no motive, good earth,
to live,
And win back beautiful fame?
For all besides hast word of hope,
To any but her will blandly say,
Thy fault is forgiven thee, go thy
way!
And must she only exiled grope,
Forever shut out from day?
All well, long injuries hate to die;
Purpose is feeble, passion is strong,
The world-old curse it fingers long
But up from the chaos goes cry:
Undo the ancient wrong!
Let sounder ethics, straighter cree
Slowly evolve and ripen slow,
In the individual ripen and grow
Whose first of axioms shall read,
Virtue no sex can know!
Teach the child the primal fact
That self-respect is the absolute prize,
Self-rule the rsalest of liberties;

Healthy, pure, and wise.
