ed form. 50 that the average OF readers
and thinkers, ave, the schoolboy, cannot
fail TO understand and assent TO If. We

lance:

close of a great war, Is about restoring 10
the conquered rebels not only their local
governments i'm the states, but their repre-

After he had spoken, black man arose,
and told him, that, if he were honest in
what he said, he would set off a thousand
acres of his land for the children of the
blacks who had suffered SO i'll slavery.
We add an extract from a letter writ
ten by one of the committee of the black
men to Gen. Howard. The general had
said in addressing them, that he had lost
his arm in the service, and they must be
ready to make sacrifices.
at is with painful hearts that we, the
committee, address you. We want home

eminent, having concluded to befriend its
late enemies, and to neglect to ob>erre the p'1n-
cpes of common faith bet,ceen itself ard its
allies in the acar you said ras orer, now takes
away from them all right to the soil they
stand upon, save such as they can get by
again working for your late enemies,-if
the government does so, we are LETT in
more unpleasant condition than our for
mer. We are at the mercy of those who
combined to prevent us from getting land
enough to lay our fathers bones upon.
We have property in horses, cattle, car
riages and articles of furniture E; but we
are Iandless and homeless. Going from
the houses where we have lived in the
past, we can only do one of three things,
step into the public road, on the sea, or
remain on the lands, working as in former
times, and subject to their will as then.
"You ask me to forgive the land owners
of our island. You only lost your right
arm in war, and might forgive them. The
man who tied me to 4 tree, and gave me
thirty-nine lashes ; and who stripped and
tlogsed my mother and sister and who
will not let me stay in his empty hut, ex-
cept will do his planting, and be salisti-
ed with his price and who combines with
others to keep away land from me, well
knowing that | would not have anything
to do with him if had land Of my own,
that man | cannot well forgive. Does
it look as if he had forgiven me, seeing
how he tries to keep me in condition Of
heplessness
"We cannot remain here in such con-
dition; and, if the government permits
them to come back, we ask it to help Us
to reach land where we shall not be slaves,
.,r compelled to work for those who
would treat us as such. We have not been
trcacherous. We have not from selfish
motives allied to us those who suffered like
lis from common enemy, and then, hay
ING gained our purpose, left our allies in
their hands. There are no rights secured
to us. There is no law likely to be made
which our hands can reach. The state
will make laws that we shall not be able
to hold land, even if We pay for it. Land

to God, and hope for His help, and your

Il Vermont Defdulter.

Under the head of Franklin county
will be found brief item announcing the
reason for the disappearance OF ii. G.
IIubbell. cashier of the MiSsi>quoi bank at
Sheldon. 1t is the old story of delalca-
ton.
Our readers will recolect an account in
these columns several weeks ago, in regard
to the mysterious disappearance of MIR. H.,
how that he went to New York on bust
ness, was known to leave his hotel there.
as was supposed for home and that was
the last heard of him. Afterwards it was
said he was seen in Chicago, and that he
there gave indications of insanity. The
directors of the bank published card in
which they declared the affairs Of the
bank to be right, As far as could he known
Thus matters rested until within a week
or two, when suspicious of the unsound-
ness OF the bank became prevalent in that
vicinity, and the run made upon the
bank was more than it could stand and do
business About this time the directors
made a more thorough investigation of
the bank affairs, which led to the diScov-
cry that Mr.. Hubbel is defaulter to the
bank of from $4,000 to $4,000. This
delalcation had been going on for years,
and the cashier had SO cunningly made
false entries and footings as to completely
deceive the directors, one of whom is Mr..
l1ubbelrs father. 1t is supposed that the
cashier carried away with him about S25,-
900.
The laws of Vermont are such that the
directors of banks are individually respon-
slble for the redemption of the bills; and
the reports are that there is no question
but what those of the NIi>sisquoi will be
redeemed: Yet they are not taken at the
bank in this place.
Mr.. Hubbell had been fast liver. but
not dissolute. He leaves a wife and one
child, and large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn over the fall of one they
loved and trusted. A little circumstance
connected with his leaving his home the
last time is now brought to mind: In
handling revolver it was stated that it
was accidentally discharged, the ball pass
ing through his wife's hand.
