Now Is the time to prune the
various varieties Of the roses, but
considerable care Is necessary in
this apparently easy matter, com
bined with some knowledge. All
roses must not be pruned alike, as
the proper course to produce
abundant blooming with one kind
might have the opposite effect with
another. The Bourbone, noisetts,
teas, Chinas, and hybrid perpetu-
ais should have all weak wood and
such as Is over one year old cut
out, and all young, strong growing
wood cut down to a strong bud.--
Large plants may be cut down to
within six inches of the ground
and the bloom will be all the bet
ter for it. If the sorts named are
left unprnned, the plants will
bear flowers, but they will be small
and imperfect.
The June and climbing roses re-
quire different treatment, and un-
der this head may be classed the
prairie roses, China hybrids, moss,
Gallica, boursaults, and the vari-
Gus cabbage or province roses
These should have all the old
wood-that is easily known by
the quantity of short spray and
the drier look of the bark-cut
out leaving the fresh, green shoots
of the previous year untrimmed,
us from the letter will come all the
bloom of this season. Ifthe young
wood is cut out, shoots will come
mp but they will bear few or no
flowers.

Tie up all climbing roses before

Tie up all climbing roses before
the bud bursts. If left until the
leaves appear, many of the young
shoots will be broken or hurt and
the bloom suffer. Let your trel-
Uses or pillars be substantial and
well secured from being blown
over by the wind, as much an ac-
cident will be most likely to hap
pen when the plants are III flowers.
If YOU intend to increase your
stock of roses, select such as are
choice growers as well as bloom
ers-unless you are rose-fancler
and can afford to purchase all the
novelties. Many of the hybrid
perpetuals so nearly resembled
each other, that the common cul-
turist cannot distinguish the differ
ence, The hardy sorts may be
transplanted now-the more ten
der in May or even June.
Good, fresh loamy soil is the
best for the rose; rank manure is
injurious, and when manure is APP
piled it should be well rotted.-
Forking the soil of a rose bed is
better than digging it with a spade.

Letter From a GOOseberry
Rush.

am a Goosberry bush, residing
in the garden on the sunny side of
the house. My origin was on this
wise; FIVE years ago last April |
was standing in the center of an old
despised bush whose fruit they
said was always mouldy and
worthless. / was straight shoot
at that time one year old. One
nice, sunny day, my Mistress came
along with sharp knife in her
hand and cut me off close to the
ground; and all that were of the
same age fell likewise: then she cut
all my buds out deep into the wood
as far as was to to be put in the
ground; this she said would keep
me from sprouting in after years,
and at all prevent me from taking
root, some of the younger ones
thought. Then she took us in the
garden and pushed us deep in the
ground In nice rows. Sure enough,
the first season | got nice leaves
and quite deep roots; the next
year my branches were too heavy
for my body, and after a heavy
shower could support myself no
longer. As | was lying OH the
ground unable to rise, | saw my
Mistress coming with a Ratchet in
her hand and some little stakes
Oh! thought |, am ] to be cut
down again? What silly thought,
she drove a stake deep in the
ground by my side, then lifted me
carefully, wound astrip ofcoarse
muslin around my slender body
and tied it fast to the stake: then
she adjusted my branches proper
ly, so | made quite a respectable
appearance.
Every spring my Mistress made
me a birthday present of a basket
of rotten chips; when | was three
years old | gave her berries e.
nough for a dozen pies, when Twas
five years old, all who came in the
garden admired me.
Now don't think am boastine
because | am telling the simple
truth. | could stand alone defy
ing wind and rain, my branches
reached forth on all sides touching
the ground, for / was loaded down
with fruit. One day in June a
boy came with a basket and cup
and stripped every berry from me,
then they measured them, and
there were fourteen quarts and a
pint. Then they weighed them,
and they weighed nineteen pounds.
They talked great deal about it;
said | was fine bush, and that
there was not one mouldy berry
among them. This is not all
though; at night they set The bas-
ket among other things in wagon
and sent them to market, after
wards | head them say they got
eight cents quart, making GIL
l have a good many sisters, some
by my side, and some a little farth
er off, they all do as well as | do,
only they are not quite SO large
Now you have my history, brief as
it is, if any of you have a mind to
have plenty of berries | would say
$50 and do likewise" her

Single Rspressnia,iz. pis,riO,a

The Wyandott Convention have, by q
vote expressed their preference for the
Constitution of Ohio. That has at least
two objectionable features. One is bien-
NAL sessions Of the Legislature. The
necessities of that State require annual
sessions. and hence extra sessions are held
equalling the regular sessions in length
and the amount of business accomplish.
ed.
The system OF single districts does not
obtain in that State, yet so serious an evil
is the double or multiple district system
that the Legislature proposed an amend
ment of the Constitution to remedy it,
but the people failed to indorse it. For
instance, the heavy vote in such cities as
Cincinnati, can be influenced to a great
extent by liquor, and virtually decides the
character of the whole delegation from
that county. The candidates must be
selected with reference to securing the
vote of these liquor-loving voters, ard
this not only keeps the better class of men
out of the halls of legislation, but pre-
vents the more moral districts from hav-
ing proper representation. As there is,
to some extent, antagonism between the
interests of cities and the country, it is an
urgent reason why the single district sys-
tenn should be adopted. Each interest in
society will have better opportunity for
a fair representation.
In Doniphan county, at the late cleo
ton. everything else was swallowed up by
the railroad interest of the river towns.
Had there been single districts, the SOUTH
ern and eastern townships would not have
taken the lions share of the nominations.
With single districts, the representatives
will be more directly responsible to their
constituents and less liable to practice
fraud in securing their nomination and
election.

Tho Radical Press.

The Topeka Tribune has taken its po-
sition with the Republican, Times, ard
Ners, against the allowance of the claims
of sufferers in the troubles of 1856.
The principal objection on the part of
these papers, as thus far made, arises from
the fact that tho claim for the destruction
of the HERALD OF FREEDOM Office, in
May, 1856, was allowed by the Commits
sioners. Although the claims, in the ag-
gregate, exceed 100000, and over five
hundred persons are interested, yet be-
cause Of our claim these presses have
tilt at the Commissioners, the Legisla-
ture, and the people who elected them,
and have determined to defeat the entire
claims, and prevent their being put in
such shape that Congress will provide
for their payment.
1t is fact which cannot be controvert.
ed, that the State of Kansas will have nc
legal demand upon Congress for the liqui.
dation of those losses unless it first as
sumes the debt in good faith. If we hes
itate and tempOrize, Congress will do tht
same, and the damages will go unpaid
for ell time; il, on the contrary, the new
State assumes this debt as just, aud il
presenting its Constitution to Congress
requires that body to meet its indebted
ness contracted, or for which it becam,
liable in its Territorial condition, it vii
not hesitate for moment to make ampl
provision on the subject. In receivin,
Texas, the government assumed its deb
of ten millions of dollars. Is it probable
with this precedent, it would refuse +
provide for the payment of debt of onl,
one-twentieth that amount-a debt 70
which the State became obligated through
the neglect of that government? w
think not.

The Bloomers In Council.

The Bloomers who met at Auburn, \.
Y, last month, adopted as the second
plank of their platform the following:
I'd. We believe that all the ills that
female flesh is heir to arise from the prev
alent modes and habits of female dress,
and we therefore go in for short and loose
dresses in order to obtain bodily freedom
and physical development.
This is one -ideaism with will. Men
and women Of good sense, who profess,
as the leaders of this enterprise do. to
have full acquaintance with physical
laws and the causes which produce the
premature ill-health and decay Of Ameri-
can women, should not stultify them
selves by such an ultraism. But they
seem to think the best mode to advance
a cause is 70 hobby-ride it to death.
They go on to affirm that
4th. We believe that womsr's rights
women proper "are only tsntalizing Us
with visions of the impossible" SO long
as the present fashions hold the sceptre oil
supremacy.
True, fashion rules woman, but that is
no reason why she should be deprived OF
her personality in regard to her property
or legal rights. The men who met at
Auburn and thus attempted to decide for
woman, that she must defy fashion before
she asks for her legal rights, are rather
out Of their sphere and do not happen to
possess much greater bravery in regard to
public opinion than their sisters. In re-
gard to social and theological reform, they
DO not preach all the truth they believe
and are slaves to the very same public
opinion which keeps their sisters in hoops
md long skirts,

Deferred

Several valuable editorials, as also va
rious communications, and proceedings of
public meetings, which were in type, have
been crowded out this week to make room
for the Report of the Commissioners on
Claims" they wishing to have it printed
for the use os the Constitutional Conven-
ton now in session. We regret that the
want of figures compels us to forego the
pleasure of publishing at length the tab
ular statement which accompanied the
Report, and which is being printed in
pamphlets form.

Declining the Honor.

The Chicago Times recently spoke Of
the HERALD OF FREEDOM as ''the leading
Republican paper" of Kansas. We GER
tainly have not courted the honor thus
bestowed on us. The Republicans here
have their partisan presses, which grind
just such grist as the necessities of the
party require. They cannot bend the
HERALD OF FREEDOM to their purposes; it
has no fellowship for the ambitious lead
ers of that party and refuses to bolster
them up. We decline the doubtful honor,
and stand independent of cliques and
corrupt party organizations.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-07-16
Strict Consiruct,orists.

The Lecomptonites were strict con-
structionists Of the straightest school.
Even the first Legislature was elected in
manner conflicting not SO much with
the strict letter of the law, as with its
spirit. Citizens of the United States.
who were actual residents of said Terrific
~, voted. The provision of the Kansas
Nebraska Act in reference to suffrage, did
not specify any particular time which
should be required for the purpose of
gaining residence. Hence the Nilsson
rians came in and voted without DAVIS
residence. They violated the spirit of the
law in this case, and taking advantage OF
their first success. they passed such regu-
lations as to voting as would best keep
the power in their own hands, till the
voting policy on the part Of the Free
State men wos inaugurated.
The defense set up by Hughes, of In.
diana, and Others, was that the strict let
ter of the law had been complied with,
while the Free State men had neglected
their duty.
Since 4he voting policy was adopted,
the Free State party kept the ascendancy,
till the organization of the Republican
and Democratic parties dissolved its CO.
hesion and caused its mergement, to a
great extent, with those organizations.
What now is the position of the Re-
publicans Strict construction. The Con-
vention Bill, as it was signed, disfran-
chised Wyandott county, and partially
disfranchised Jefferson county. Men who
assisted in organizing the Republican par
ty of Kansas, believed it just and proper
that Wyandott should be represented in
that Convention Notwithstanding the
biunder. But unfortunately for the
pledges made at 0sawatomie, Wyandott
did not elect W. Y. Roberts and F. John
son. This made all the difference imagi-
nable. Wyandott was not named in the
bond, and perforce had no claims on the
Republican Shylock. Claiming MAORI
ty of eighteen in the Convention, they
are afraid to admit two Democrats. The
strict justice, which they insisted in the
LecOmpton case should be dealt out to
them. they are unwilling to accord now.
Yet this Republican majority do not
hold themselves bound to follow out the
law fully in reference to their own power,
bu: believe that "the Convention is not
bound in any manner for its future action
by the provisions of the law which called
it into being" Taking this view, the Re-
publicans refused to take the oath of Of
fee until they had elected their officers,
and had thus organized the Convention.
They held that the Convention, the mo-
ment it had assembled, was sovereign
over this as well as all other questions
which might come before it. 1t seems
that it can exercise sovereignty to crafty
Republican within, but not to correct a
legislative blunder which DISTINGUISHES
Democratic counties. Such is the con-
sistency of principle manifested by the
same class of men who contended in the
Lecompton case that technicality should
not override justice. But the party
whose interests they wish to subserve, has
too small majority in the Territory to
allow any advantage to its opponents.
