the recognition of negroes as freemen,

| the whites, or omits to provide for their
moral and intellectual culture so indispens-
able to the citizen of the free State, cannot
be contemplated except with profoundest
alarm. The objection to investing the col
ored race with the elective franchise grow
| ing out of their ignorance, is one having
great force, but applicable alike to the white
man Of the same intellectual condition.
To obviate this there may be necessity for
| postponing full investure with that right
until they in common with other ignorant
persons shall be fitted by education for its
| exercise. In the meantime, as a measure of
security to the nation, the Constitution of
| the Union should be so amended as to limit
the right of national represention to legal
number of suffrage in each State, and to de-
fine who shall be electors of President, Vice
President and Representatives to Congress.
DefauIfer.
ST. ALBANs, VI, January 4.-The singular
disappearance of Mr.. Hubbell, the Cashier
of the Missisquai Bank, Sheldon, VT, is at
last accounted for. He turns cut to be de-
faulter in large sum-the amount is stated
as high as $4,000. His embezzlements be-
gan years ago, but have been so covered by
false entries and false footings as to elude
observation until yesterday. The accounts
of the affairs at the bank have to-day been
examined by competent accountants, and
the assets are believed to be sufficient for
the redemption of the bills. The bill hold
ers are so advised.
Hubbell is reported to have been fast
and extravagant liver, his expenses exceed
ing those of almost any man in Franklin
county. His whereabouts are still unknown
by officers of the bank.
