riehinass of ,hs Time.

We pity the man who is compelled to
raise money now in Kansas. We were
told by money-leDder, the other day,
that he was receiving from 10 to 20 per
cent. per month for the use of money, and
had been paid at the rate of 20, 25 and
80 per cent. per month to discount notes.
The lowest rates, on good security, for the
use of money, seem to range between 8
and 8 per cent. per month. Business in
all our Kansas towns is nearly suspended.
Men with twenty or twenty thousand
dollars cannot sell property at any price,
10 realize even few hundred dollars
Real estate can be bought at ruinous rates,
persons feeling compelled to sell to realize
ready money, perhaps to save their credit.
Hardly any branch of business is sustain
ing itself. Unless change comes over
the country before autumn, general sus-
pension must follow. The wave which
broke upon the east a year ago, has
reached Kansas. Itcarried down the best
men in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
&C., as it passed over those cities, and its
effects will be equally fatal here. There
is consolation, however, in knowing that
there is recuperative energy enough in
the West to bring everything right in the
end, so none need wholly despond, how
ever oppressive the times may be.

The sStar of Empire" chronicles the
shooting of a negro, few miles south OF
Westport, on the 25th ult. GEORGE be-
longed to Widow DAVIS, and was hired to
a man in Westport. Going home at night
he learned that his mother and brother
had been sold during the day. He felt
greatly outraged, and though he had
always sustained an excellent character up
to that time, yet he made his appearance
with knife and gun, and declared ne
would fight until he died" A son of
the widow, with navy revolver, shot the
poor slave through the breast killing him
almost Immediately. Though the justice
excused the soc, and allowed him to go
free, yet the case furnishes terrible COM
mentary upon the evils of American
slavery.

since we were much gratifed to see the
evidences of home adornment, which
attracts the attention of strangers more
readily than most other things. We
aIlude to the planting of shade trees and
shrubbery about our dwellings. The
political affairs of Kansas have hitherto
so wholly engrossed the attention of al
interested in her welfare, that but little
time has been given to those things that
make home attractive. But as peace and
quiet looms above the horizon of State,
we trust that our citizens win do all that
they can in ornamentiDg and improving

The Lscompton swindls.

Judge BAKER, from Breckenridge coun.
ty, who has long been resident of the
Territory, and who has always acted with
the conservatives, says that through Davis
Wise, Madison and Breckenridge counties
there is but one feeling in regard to the
Lecompton Constitution. The people will
turn out en- nadsse and vote it down.
The Judge has travelled very generally
over the counties alluded to, has heard
frequent expressions in regard to it, and
has not heard of man who has expressed
himself in favor of adopting the swindle.
The information from other portions of
the Territory is of q similar character
Atleast 1900 votes, and we shall not be
disappointed if 1900 are against it,
The moderate Pro-Slavery men will all
vote against it, as will all shades of the
Free State party.
However anxious men may be tothrow
of the Territorial government, they
infinitely prefer it to the Lecompton SWIM
die, or any government growing out of it.

Do Ins,Iu hr rs


The Herald of Freedom, which was the
organ of Gov. Walker, is now supposed
by some to lean little towards the Ad-
ministration.-Chicogo Press.
Dir. Boss, why is it that you persistin
classifying the position of the Herald of
Freedom ? There is not reader of our
paper who has not been told time and
time again, that we never cast vote for
a Democratic nominee in our life /; that
we never entertained any sympathies in
common with that party that our paper
was the first to nominate J. G.. Fremont
for the Presidency that our sympathies
have been with the Republicans, and
against the Democrats from the first or
ganization of the Republican Party ;.that
we look upon the Democratic Party as the
main support of the slave institutions of
the country /; that we have engaged in an
eternal warfare against the asgressions of
slavery, and, hence, shall wage a contin-
ual warfare upon the party which
strengthens and sustains it.
1t is false that the Herald of Freedom,
was the organ of Gov. WALKER. On the
contrary, it is our organ and nobody's
else. We never spoke, nor pretended
to speak for Gov. Walker. We sustained
him whenever we thought he was right,
and eensured him when we thought him
wrong. We do the same by james Bu-
chanan, and by all his officials in Kansas
and out of it. We do the same by the
Party, and the members of
that Party We do not award blind
praise to any, neitherdo we design to con-
denim without cause.
In short, we always have and always
will publish an INDEPENDANT news
paper, and nothing else. We were never
made for party tool, and can never serve
in that capacity.
Why will not some Press in the East
have manliness enough to correct the
thousand and one falsehoods promulgat-
ed during the last year. to our prejudice?
Nothing is to be gained by reporting
those stale ISLANDERS. The world must be
satisfied by this time, that we cannot be
drawn into the support of a measure our
judgment condemns, nor wheedled into
its advocacy because it will be unpopular
not to do so.

An Al.on Saw Mn.

The following item we find IN the Cairo
City Gazette. IL speaks well for the Saw
Mills manufactured by johnson q Emer-
son, of the Piasa Foundry, of Alton, Ill,
whose advertisement will be found in OUT
advertising columns
MoAwEoUA, Shelby Co, April 90, '5S.
DEAR SIR:-I notice banter in your
paper upon saving, which seems to open
the way for me to say something upon
the subject. I have saw mill that I
bought OF Messrs. johnson s. Emerson,
of Alton, which think Is one of the best
kind nov in use. To test what could be
done, my sawyer CIR. VIM. Lucasl put it
through for one hour, and in that time cut
from four white oak logs 1872 feet Of SIX
inch plank fencing, which think cannot
be beaten By any 81 inch circular saw in
the coustrY. This is not an average for
days work; can't say what could be
done for twelve hours, though can cut
all want in day, or at least as much Is
six men can handle. Yours respectfully,
S. SPEAR.

that Constitution? Is the Free State Gov
eminent under the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, to obey the old or the new iistruc-
tons ? After sober deliberation on the
part of the people. and an unqualified ac-
ceptanee of the Lecompton Constitution,
would not that fact conclude any action
on the part of the Legislature towards eff
fectirg q summary change in that Con-
stitution. The last expression of public
sentiment must, upon any question control.
These queries are simply suggested as ar
guments that might be made use Of by un-
scrupulous men in power, under the cir
eumstances referred to, AID might pre-
vent such action on the part of the gov
eminent as the people might desire.
Without impeachiDg the integrity or pat
riotism of any single Free State represen-
tative under the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, we do not hesitate, nevertheless, TO as
sert that the chances of the Lecompton
government being continued in case the
proposition is accepted, are at least equal
to the chances of its being oyerthrown.
In all the foregoing observations, we have
presumed that the Free State men have
complete control of the several depart
ments of the government There is little
doubt that the Legislature elect is Free
State, and the certificates, if the ordinance
is accepted, viii be issued to large ma
jority of Free State men. The execu-
tive branch is in doubt. If Calhoun
should give the certificate to Marshall.
there is no power in the first Legislature
to remove him. 1t is also clear that the
pro-slavefy comptroller and treasurer and
secretary of State viii hold their Offices
in spite of any power in existence, exerted
in lawful way, if the certificates should
be granted to them. Thus, it will be seen
that voting for the ordinance in this as
pect is extremely perilous. In any event
we believe that there will be supporters
enough of the pro-slavery governmental
power to prevent an immediate change
in the Constitution as the people desire.
In another article we intend to give other
reasons for voting against the propo-
sition.
