I GOVERNORS OF THE NEGROES

A CUSTOM THAT EXISTED FORA CKNTVKY Iff CONNECTICUT

The Wrongest Man Was Oiosen to theWaco Held Office ai Long a HeWas Able Features of Paradesand Elections Notable Governori-

Dxnnr Conn March 1 Some of thewho are trying to make a new Con-

stitution for Connecticut recalled tho otherday tho times when there wore negro Gov-ernors of tho Stat It U a page in thehistory of Connecticut which seems to befading but which should bo preserved

Years before the Revolution a quarter ofa century before the signing of the Decla-ration of Independence whoa there worein Connecticut many slaves who eitherhad been kidnapped from Africa or werethe offspring of nuoh negroes there existeda form of government among them Tothe freemen of the day It was a burlesque-but to the slaves it waa a most seriousmatter

The Governor of the negroes ruled byforce as ho gained tho office by superiorphysical strength Sometimes ho held theoffice for yrs sometimes he was deposedbefore his term ended lint never did hoyield up hU office until some negro ofgreater strength won tho right to succeedbun oruntll falling health or old age warnedhim not to enter the lists again

The Governor of tho negroes was anautocrat Ilia will was law lie settledall disputes and ho defended hisfrom which there was no appeal with thereasoning which never to convincetho reasoning of brawn muscle

This slave government was simple Therewas hut ono officer besIdes the Governorthe LieutenantGovernor Titers was noproblem of town and city representationto be settled because there was no repre-sentation The weak had no place Itwas the survival of the fittest

When or how the slave government ori-

ginated In not known It had a beginningsomewhere about the middle of theeighteenth century and existed for fully100 years passing away a few years beforethe Civil War

The flint mention of It U found in a proc-lamation issued by one GOT Cuff whoupon abdicating st forth his reasons andnamed late euccossor Tho proclamation la-

before thoWhllo It Is to fix the date

which tho first Governor was elected Itis not difficult to determine from what thucustom sprang AH a colony Connecticutenjoyed n liberal list freo-tn elect the Governor and did fco

He was at Hartford nndrepresentative non from all part of time

to him The event was a brill-iant affair for those days The Governorwas met by tho and representa-tive men tIme city and tothe where th onth of offloa wax to1 administer d ceremony beingover ho mado a speech and then wasu dinner

Then was much bright braid and tinselgay colors many beautiful women

and men of truin t

to imitate undoubtedlythought that If men could ele-

vate a man to whom the others wouldshow honor they might so trent one of

probably rise to the custom So thefirst negro Governor was elected

Inaugurations took atHartford but tho known aboutthen in that tbero were ludicrous-In many inttaiioes never save tothe llio blacks enjoyed thomand the whites toleratedthey made fun

About 1800 time election sari the inaugura-tion were transferred to sortie

of tho eccentricity of tlm electionbeen was no ballotfor candidates but Iho pelectlort was

very strong active omen became candidates for tests wore never

Sometimes the election went totbo man who could lift and carry farthestn barrel of rum or molasses or was thofleetest of foot or was tho best in wrcHtlintbouts

Homctlmes tho tests were moreas for instance when tho candldiito

was required to plant the feet against nground arid

against n team of oxensome feat of strength performedbefore time of electiondetermined tho rann entitled to tho oaknnd no other candidate appeared

Election day was tho great negro fcstlval of than year Negroes csuno to Derbyfrom all ports of State evenHartford scene In tho village thenwas a remarkable one The negroes Weredrwwd in colored clothing lwith and and worebrilliant ribbons tied in their hair

The American soldier looked upon theMacabebo with distrust expecting at anytime to see treachery litany of them whiterecruits that tame out to Americanarmy In am very sorry to say wereof a low vicious typo and thrse men hadto be under constant surveillance to

looting and worse misdemeanorsInvariably when complaint was rondo

they put the onus upon the MaoabeheFrequently we hind strong suspicion thatthe Incurrocto adopted the artful dodge ofcommitting depredations as Macbebes mind on ono occasion at least wesecured positive evidence of this Theofficers felt that the scouts In their chargewore intrigued against by tho Insurrectoblamed by time native nnd often had tohear tho name of malefactor for deedsdone by American soldiers And they woreconstnntly on the alort to prevent nil this

As surgeon of time command I was calledupon to examine every case of1 allegedinjury and not In one Instance did I findanything to blame a Mncalflxs for OnFob 21 1BOO I examined the President ofSan Antonio Zambales who complained-of maltreatment by tho scouts and found-a halo hearty man without an abrasionof tho skin his dignity may have beenmarred A trifle

On March 7 st Bagac I was Instructed-to examine a native supposed to have beenInjured I wan called In the night andknew nothing of the case at tho time

tho fact that I was told he was therelative of a prominent native lawyer

I found an emaciated sicklylookingIndividual apparently gasping In the lastthroes of a fatal malady A careful exami-nation showed no Injury and gave ma thosuspicion that it was a case of malingeringnnd I so reported j

I then learned that the man had beenarrested for giving Information to Meseardoand a counter charge was mado that thescouts had beaten him nearly to deathThis case magnified was reported In Manilaand I have reason to think I recognized ItIn ono of the cases I bavo seen quoted intime States

On Nov 8 1000 I wn on route alonjfrom San Miguel do Mnyuma to Cnlooeannnd mado my way from post to post IntoQutngua and there sought headquartersfor accommodation for tho night I wasreceived by a Junior Lieutenant A fewmomenta later there entered the townfrom tho direction a scoutingparty of some thirty Macabobvs in charge
