THE COLOMBIAN TREATY.

Matter Much Wished For.

Washington, Oct. 30.--It developed
to-day that Senior Concha, the Colombo
an minister, is growing FESTIVE under
the delay of his government in CIV
ing him further instructions in an
swer to his dispatch regarding the con-
ditions which have arisen since the
forwarding Of the letter directing him
to proceed with the negotiations for a
treaty with the United States affect
ing the right-of-way for the Panama
canal. lie has sent several requests
for this information without avail. The
legation officials, however, are moved
to the belief that the dispatch of Sec
rotary Hay to Minister Hart, sent on
Tuesday, will have the effect of ac-
celebrating matters, and that an early
adjustment of the pending questions
which are delaying final action on the
treaty may be looked for.
Much of the delay has been occa-
stoned ALSO II is learned. by the atti-
tude of Gov. Salazar of Panama, who
has been writing numerous letters to
the legation here, and these more or
less influenced Mr.. Concha in postpon-
ing action on his instructions to pro-
coed with the. negotiation Of the treaty.

CONTINUATION OF CHAPTER XII,

He shayed clean and dressed
as German emigrant woman
He wore dresses for two years,
did housework, MIXED the COWS
and cut wood for good natured
old German. He paid for his
board and passed for a sister,
just from the old country.
When the war closed he re-
sumed male attire, became a VIC
lent Union man, and swore that
he had been bounded and perse-
cuted without mercy by the Sc
cessionist rebels.
He was looking more at his
ease than ever in life. He wore a
silk hat and new suit of clothes
made by a fashionable tailor in
Raleigh. He was a little older
looking than when he killed I'm
Gle Tom on his farm some ten
years before, but otherwise un-
changed. He had the same short
muscular BODY, round bullet head
light gray eyes and shaggy eye
brows, but his deep chestnut,
bristly hair had been trimmed by
a barber. His coarse, thick lips
dropped at the corners of his
mouth and emphasized the crook
in his nose. His eyes, we'll
set apart, as of old, we're bold,
commanding, and flashed with
the cold light of g1ittering steel.
His teeth that once were pointed
like the fangs of a wolf had been
filed by dentist. But it requir.
ed more than the file of a dentist
to smooth out of that face the fer
ocity and cruelty that years of
dissolute habits had fixed.
He was only forty-two years
old but the f1abby flesh under his
eyes and his enormous square
cut Jaw made him look fully ff-
ty.
It was a spectacle for gods and
men, to see him harangue that
Union league in the p1atitudes OF
loyalty to the Union, and to watch
the crowd of negroes hang breath
less on his every word az the in
spired gospel of God! The only
notable change in him from the
old days was in his speech. He
had hired a man TO teach him
grammer and pronunciation He
had high ambitions for the flu
ture.
BE Of good cheer, beloved" he
said to the negroes. "A great
day is coming for you. You are
to rule this land. Your old mas
tiers are to dig in the fields and
you are to sit under the shade
and be gentlemen. Old Andy
Johnson will be kicked out Of the
white house or hung, and the
farms you's worked on so long
will be divided among you. You
can rent them to your old masters
and live in ease the balance o.
your life!"
GLORY to Godi" shouted an
old negro.

in vain to pull out in straight Ma
poleonic style.
He worked his scalp and ears
vigorously as he exclaimed: Tel
us the whole plan, brother!"
The plans simple" said LIE.

: give the niger the ballot and
take in from enough white men
to give the niggers a majority.
Then he will kick old Andy John
son out of the whiteS house, put
the gag on the supreme court 50
the south can't appeal, pass his
bill to confiscate the property of
the rebels and give it to loyal men
and niggers, and run the rebels
out"
And the beauty of the plan is, "
said Tim with JUNCTION, ''that
they are going to allow the negro
to vote to himself the ballot and
not allow the white man to vote
against it! That's what l call a
dead sure thing! Tim drew him
self up, a sardonic grin revealing
his white teeth from ear to ear,
and burst into an imprisoned
harangue to the excited group.
Hs Ras endowed with native elo-
q and had graduated from
college in Canada under the pri-
vate tutorship of it's professors.
He was we'll versed in English
history. He could hold an audi
ence of negroes spel1bound, and
his audacity commanded the at
tention of the bo1dest white man
who heard him.
Legree, Perkins and Haley
cheered his wild utterances and
urged him to greater flights.
He paused as though about
to stop when Legree, evidently
surprised and delighted at his
powers, said:
GO on! Go on!'
Yes, go on" shouted Perkins.
We are done with race and
color lines"
A dreamy look came to Tim s
eyes as he continued:
Our proud white aristocrats
of the south are in a panic it
seems. They fear the coming
power of the negro. They fear
their Desdemones may be fas-
cinated again by an Othello!
Well, Othel1o's day has come at
last. If he has dreamed
in the past his tongue dared
not speak, the day is fast COM
ing when he will put these
dreams into deeds, not words.
The south has not paid the
penalties of her crimes. The
work of the conqueror has not
yet been done in this land. Our
work now is to bring the proud
low and exalt the low1y. This
is the first duty of conqueror.
The French revolutionists
established a tannery,where they
tanned the hides of the dead
aristocrats into leather with
which they shod the common
people. This was France in the
eighteenth century with a thou
sand years of Christian culture.

quered Scotland they hunted

Hal1eluiah! Amen! Vas
Lawd!' The feryent exclama-
tons came from every part of
the room.
After the meeting the negroes
pressed around Legree and
shook his hand with eagerness-
the same hand that was red with
the blood of their race.
When the crowd had dispers-
ed meeting of the leaders was
held.
Dave Haley, the ex-slave trad
err from Kentucky, who had
lodged back and forth from the
mountains of his native state to
the mountains of western North
Carolina and kept out of the ar
mics, was there. He had settled
IN Hambright and hoped at least
to get the postofice under the
dispensation.
In the group was the full blood
ed negro, Tim Shelby. He had
belonged to the She1bys of Ken
lucky, but had escaped through
Ohio into Canada before the war.
He had returned home with
great expectations of revolutions
to follow in the wake of the victo-
rlous armies of the north. He
had been disappointed in thep
gram of kindness and mercy
that Immediately followed the
fall of the Confederacy; but he
had been busy day and night since
the war in organizing the negro
es, in secretly furnishing them
arms and wherever possible he
had them grouped in military
posts and regularly drilled. He
was elated at the brilliant pros
poets whichLegree's report from
Washington opened.
"G1orioss news you bring us,
brother!" he exclaimed as he
slapped Legree on the back.

Early in 1867, two years af-
ter the war, Thaddeus Stevens
passed through congress his
famous bill destroying the
governments of the southern
states and dividing them into
military districts, enfranchising
the whole negro race and dis
franchising one-fourth of the
whites. The army was sent
back to the south to enforce
these DEGREES at the point of
the bayonet. The authority of
the supreme court was destroy

south denied the right of appeal.
introduced his bill to confscate
the property of the white PEG.
pie of the south. The negroes
laid down their hoes and p1ows
and began to gather in excited
meetings. Crimes of violence
increased daily. Not a night
passed but what a burning

The negroes refused to sign
any contracts to work, to pay
rents or vacate their houses or
notice even from the Freed
mans bureau.
The negroes on Genera

fused to work or move, but
organized to prevent any white
man from putting his foot on
the land.
General Worth procured q
special order from the head
quarters for the Freedman s
bureau for the district located
at independence. When the Off
Ger appeared and attempted tc
serve this notice the negroes
mobbed him,
A company of troops were
ordered to Hambright and the
notice served again by the bur.

captain of this company.
The negroes asked for time
to hold a meeting and discuss
the question. They held their
meeting and gathered fully five
hundred men from the neigh
borhood, all armed with re.
volvers or muskets. They asked
Legree and Tim Shelby to tell
