Washington, April 23.?Tho House to-day went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Pay son, of Illinois, in the chair) on tho Legislative Appropriation Bill, the pending question teing on the motion of Mr. DunnelJ, of Minnesota, to strike out tho clause providing clerks for Senators. After considerable debate the rnolion to strike ont was lost by a or. 07 > UlU VJl OU IU 1)1, Iu speaking^to a verbal amendment Mr. Kelly, of Kansas replied to a remark made by Mr. Allen, of Miesiaaipi, to the etlect that some of the newly appointed postmasters in Mississippi had moved their cilices out of the towns into the country. Thinking there must bo some reason for this, ho (Mr. Kelly) had gone to the Fostoflico Department and had been informed that in some places it was impossible for a Republican postmaster to secure a location in a town, and lie was obliged to co to the country. As an instance of the manner in which some Republican postmasters were treated iu the South ho read a letter from W. A. Finley, appointed in May a* postmaster at Abbeville, S. C., wUo states that shortly after his appointment ho was set upon by a mob led by Ward Cochran, eou of Congressman Cochran, and beaten with barbed wiro and ordered to leave the town. Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee?Did you nvrite the letter for him ? Mr. Kellv?I want to Htate to the pen tleman that I did write the letter. I [Laughteron the Democratic side.] I wrote the letter at bis request. [Laughter.] Mr. Henderson, of Iowa?If you stop vour sneering and deny facta it will be better, [Laughter on tbe Democratic side.] Mr. Rowell, of Illinois?It is funny to the other side of the House to hear an account of murder and whipping with barbed wires. Mr. Kelly?The gentleman signed the letter in my presence. Mr. McMillan?Why did ho not writo the letter? Mr. Kelly?On account of tho outrage his arm is paralyzed. [Laughter.] Mr. Boutelle?I insist that a member on this floor shall not bo treated as postjnaHters and mail clerks in the South. Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Finley had an affidavit to the facts iu the case, which had been published iu the Philadelphia l'rtsa. \ Mr. Blount, of Georgia, inquired whether the gentleman was sure Mr. .Viuley was paralyzed. jMr. Kolly replied that Mr. Finley had every appearance of being parnlyz&il. Mr. Kelly then proceeded to read from letters of Southern postmasters to First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, complainiu^ of outrages. .Mr. Breekeniidge, of Kentucky, inqnirtd on what authority General Clarkhon had turned over these papers to the gontleniao. ,31c. Kelly was unable to say what the law was. Mr. lireckenridge?In what way did tWi ceutleman obtain oilicial papers of ihe Fostofllce Department? Mr. &elly~I went to Gon. Clarkaon and got the papers from him with his Ifree consent. 1 did not steal them. Mr. Breckenridge?Of course not. I don't thiuk the gentleman would be guilty of petty larceny. Cjyi2KN8 SHOULD HE PROTECTED. " Xft? TTollw aim! flint llP v_<oii:umji'B *.... -.v..,, w-.v. didnotagreo ivith the gentleman from Missouri in Ms criticism of the President, Ho did not xomplnin that the President played wilfc his littlo grand child, but wished he would cease it lonji enough to see to it that every man ir tho United States, black or white, is un der the protection of the /lag. [Applatiso.] Ho referred to a speech which hi made, in Fort Smith, denouncing tiu CJayton murder, and stated that ho re ceivb'd letters from people in Arkansaj tluinkiD* hiin *or ^ had Reived i ' letter from & Grand Army Post endors ing a resolution of thanks. Mr. Tarnsey, oi Missouri, inquired wlwther the resolution contained anj reference to the litigation fi&ing on he tween that gentleman fiis soc ngnlast a colored congregation in For Smith, to prevent the erectiou of a colored church on tho ground it was t nuisance. Mr, Kelly denied there waa any euci litigation pending. Ho did not own n ploce of ground in Arkansas. Messrs. McKae and lingers, of Ark, however, stated that his Bon was iuI volved in Bitch a litigation. In the dla- i 1 cusaion which ensued there wan u great 1 deal of confusion and fun, Mr. Kelly being bombarded with questions, and replying to them in kind. Neither questions nor auswera had the slightest refer- * enco to the appropriation. v ( Mr. Taraney inquired if in a speech made by Mr. Kelly in a nubile hall in i Washington ho hail used tne expression that a "white girl was juet us good aa a colored girl." WHAT KKI.l.Y HAH). Mr. Kelly replied that ho did not remember; but that ho would Bay it on 4 this floor, a white girl was just na good im a colored, He defied the gentleman u from Missouri to deny It. [Laughter.] j, Mr. Alien, of Mississippi, said thai tne gentleman from Kansas seemed to be the recognized mouth-piece of the Postofllce & Department of the administration. There ii never had been in the history of the G. C( 0. P. a time when Southern outrages were more necessary for the pur noses of that party than they were to-day. It tl had gone to the wall on the tariir*, it had ai busted higher than a kite on civil scrv- 8C ice. The elections were going against it.

Referring to an outrage, ho tu expressed tho deep regret of bis people at its occurrence. Jle would not descend p to that sort of debute. r | Mr. Cochran, of South Carolina, said there was just enough of tho f ict iu the re I flairi Jog, letter which had been read by li< the gentleman from Kansas, relative to Jc tho Abbeville ease, to make out a story. Bi There was a town; was a postolUce; G there was an applicant for the .postmas- B. tership and there were sotno hot headed gr young men, of wtiich tiisBon was .one. ni After tho war a Northern man had been ki appointed postmaster and had served he until Arthur's term. When ho died hi his wife, a mo t estimable dii woman had been appointed, re Fihley' had filed an application th with the First Assistant Postmaster Pi General, iu which ho misrepresented tu and defamed the character of tho post- co mistress. ^ Thia was a feeling of outrauo > against him. Those young men, not for foi the purpose of doing Finley auy harm, hi went to his house on the night," aud li\ made somo demonstration.

The young men had sent for a ho physician and had paid all the expenses Fr of the treatment. That was all there Br was to it. a ROGKits' ROULADE. &! Mr. Rogers, of Ark., called attention to the fact that under leave to print the ^ gentleman from Kansas had printed in br the Record vile calumnies on the State of hi Arkansas. Had. the gentleman no shame or decency, no idea of propriety ? Df Was he lost?irretriebablv lost? Did wi they know the speech he had printed in the Jifcurd would bo a perpetual memo- Fi rial to^ the character of the man Jo from Kansas sent to the National da Legislature. Outrages occurred in all ho States. Crime was committed in all or States. Why was it that the South was ah maligned for the outrages? It was aim- *h ply for the purpose of political capital, op lie then went into an elaborate defence Be of the State which he in part represented, str against the calumnies and scandals th which, he said, had been heaped upon her. In the course of his remarks he frc bitterly assailed "Poker" Jack McClure, who had baen appointed to conduct cer- sh taiu government cases in Arkansas. He su could not believe that the President or C. Attorney General knew of his anteced- at outs. Ho was a man who had never hq character enough to comprehend how a man could be honest or a gentleman. Sir. Featherstone, of Arkansas, said that Powell Clayton and Judge McClure tri who had been defamed by hib colleague, ju stood as well with Republicans in Arkansas as his colleague did with Demo- rei crats. It seemed to bo a crime to tell th tDe truth. It was an'outrage to say that L( ballot boxes were stuffed and that men lei were assassinated and murderers not ar- to rt sted. co SPending further discussion the com- co mittee rose aud the House adjourned.

J For months past from nil parts of thi country, there hnyo reached me commn uications. many of them from largo bodiei of men, all of thorn from peraouB deaery ing consideration, and nil of them deep ly in earnest respecting the present con uuiou 01 agricultural depression. In most cases tlio communications suggest the conviction of the writers, not only as to thu gravity of tlio emomency, but as to its cause or causes anil possible remedies, and all of tUcin appeal to iu?? for some expression of rav vtowa on the Bubject. To answer each one of these communications separately, would be more than any ouo iu..n can rndertake to do and moreover, 1 am reluctant to fleud out an expression of my views in letters covering merely a phase or a portion of the questions iuvolved. Such a course would be unjust to myself and to moBu who auuress me. 1 eau only consent to express my views, such ns they are, on the entire question, reviewing the whole subject aud considering it in all its various phases. What is to be done? Such is the question which confronts every thinking man. Too many of those who are giving the matter consideration look at it from only one point of viow. Ouo attributes the diiliculty to one cause, and one'to another, and most people seem to regard two or three causes at most as entirely responsible for the present condition of atlairs. This is a mistake.] The fact, however, explains to a certain | extent that some of the remedies proposed,, bid fair, if carried out, to bring about a reBult as objectionable as the present situation. Great discouragement is very apt to lead to extravagance in devising remedial agencies, and we must beware of remedies that may bo worse than the disease. It is ouly by a very iiareful diagnosis of the ca3e that we can possibly attain to efficient remedy. The present agricultural depression, it seems to me, can be traced to a combination of many causes, bo many that probably no tnaq can enumerate them all. I will only endeavor to point out some which seem to me more directly responsible. They may be divided into two classes. First: Those causes inhereut to the farmers themselves and for which they alone can provide a possible remedy. Second: Those over which the farmer himself has no direct control, and the remedy for which must be provided as far as remedy is possible, by law, and ior such legislation the responsibility devolves upon the legislative bodies of the States and of the Nation. # WHAT THE FARMER MUST DO. I will contine myself to a mere enumeration of the first class of causes indicated. On many farms, I regret to say, ffe find a depreciation of the productive power of the land due to careless culture. ?Vf uuu UYIHUHOO Olieu 01 DllBlUCBBiko methods, due to the fact that in jarlier times business training was not regarded as an essential preparation for the farmer's work, whereas, to-day, with lltered conditions, when every penny, and I may say every moment of time, has to be profitably accounted for, and in the face of world-wide competition, a jucceesful farmer must be as well trained and careful in business as the storekeeper, and his equal in intelligence and jeneral education. Nor are the important questions of supply and.demand jf market prices studied with the vigilance which characterizes the methods of our merchants and manufacturers. The last, moreover, have the advantage of transacting their business in immediate proximity to trade centres, where the widest information in reference thereto is readily obtainable. Our farmers' organizations are wisely seeking'tol supplement this want for the farmer;, the agricultural is press earnestly working in the came direction, and one I of the most important duties devolving I upon this department, consists in nothing and promptly distributing reliable information on all those subjects which I are essentially interesting to the farmer.. Tt remains for him to avail himself of, the information thus supplied as his chief protection not only against over-1 supply of certain products, but against uvci'icuuuiug un iuo part oil purchasers. The farmer must look with suspicion upon any attempts to abridge the sources of his information. His advantage will' always be in the fullest knowledge of the facts. He must carefully study the character and the quality of his products rather than mere quantity, and always- bear in mind, that whether prices are high or low, it xb always the bust goods at the best obtainable prices that are the most readily sold. Many of our farmers have been land-greedy, and find themselves the ownerB of more land than they can properly care for in view of the comparatively high price of labor in the rural districts, aud in view of the fact that but a small portion of mankind, comparatively, can profitably control the labor of others. The prudent farmer will limit his ellorta to that which he can etliciently perform. Again,?more attention must bo given, especially on our Western farms, to the raising by the farmor, for his own use, everything that may be utilized by himself and his household, as far as soil and climate will permit, FARM MORTGAGES. The burden of mortgages upon farmp, homes and lands, is unquestionablydis bvuitt^iu^ 1U i>iic UAirtUUU, UUU WU1IU 111 some cases no doubt this load may have i been too readily assumed, still "in the i majority of cases, the mortgage has beeii the result of necessity. 1 except oi course, such mortgages as represent balances of purchase money, which are rather .evidences of the farmer's ambition and enterprise than of his poverty, On the other hand, those mortgagee with which land has been encumbered from the necessities of its owner, drawing high rates of interest, often taxed in addition with a heavy commission, have to-day, in tho face of continued depres sion in the prices of staple products, become very irksome and in many case! threaten ,tho farmer with loss of hom? and land. It is a question oi gravo difli culty to all those who seek to retnedj the ilia from which our farmers an suffering. At present priccs tho farmei finds that it takes more ol his [yoducti to get a dollar wherewith to pay baol the dollar he borrowed than it did whei he borrowed ft. Tho interest accutnu Jates, while payment of the principl< geems utterly hopeless, and tho very de pression vfbich we were discussing frames the renewal oi tho mortgage moa dilflcqlt.
