The committee find that the remedy must be by State and not by Congression al legislation. The Federal Government haS'no'voters of its own creation.

The House then proceeded to the busi ness on the speaker'sjtable. Tq the Senate resolution directing the committees on agriculture of the two nouses to inquire and report what the government should do to encourage agricul tural interests,Mr. Reagan,of Texas,offered amendments directing the committees to inqnlre, also, as to the effect on the agri cultural interests of the adoption of a reve nue tariffin place of the present protective tariff and as to a proper revision of the laws relating to internal revenue taxa tion. This led to a discussion of the tariff question. Mr. Reagan said if Congress meant to do anything to lilt the burdens from the shoulders of agriculture, this res olution might be made to famish it with! the necessary information. Some special means should he devised to relieve the agricultural interests of the country by transferring the vast bur dens wldch is bore to the shoulders of the many. Agriculture was 'being crushed out, while fortunes were being piled up in the hands of a few. Thfa was being done by means of a protective tariff, discrimi nating internal revenue laws and monop olies. He argued that a tariff Imposed for purposes of revenue only, would great ly promote agricultural prosperity, and bring about a more general and equal dis tribution of wealth. In conclusion he said: “Give us a revenue tariff. Place it, if you please, at 20 per cent., which is higher than any revenue tariff,- from the foundation of the Government down to the present time, and you will secure by the increased foreign trade, by increased imports, by increased exports, as much revenue as now. I believe that besides doing that, you would save no less than eight hundred million dollars a year to the classes which consume.” Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, replied to Mr. Reagan at some length, controverting the latter’s statements, defending protec tive tarifia, and arguing that protection is especially beneficial to the .wool growers of Texas, in that it gives them, through' domestic manufactures encouraged by protective tariff, the best market in the world for such wool as Texas grows. Without disposing ofthe subject, which will come up again when the House next goes into business on the Speaker’s table, the House took a recess till 7:36, the night session to be for the consideration of the bill to establish a municipal code for the District of Columbia. TEE JCIBS0TTBI CYCLONE. Tiik details of the terrible tornado are as strange as they are melancholy. Melancholy Details. St. Louis, April ilk—Passengers who passed through Marshfield, on the S:. Louis and San Francisco railroad, at 8:30 last night, give a few facts concerning a terrible disaster which occurred there yes terday. A man’ who came to the depot at the edge of town while the train was there, reported that at 650 o’clock a fu rious hurrieane struck tlie place, and lev eled all that part of the town lying west of the central square flat to the ground. The debris immediately look fire In sev eral places; and the flames could be seen at some half dozen places by passengers on the train. Forty dead bodies had been taken out, and manv more were supposed to be buried in the ruins or burned up. There were also many living still imprisoned in the debris of the fallen buildings. All the physicians of the town were killed bat two, and there was great need of doctors to attend to the wounded, of whom it was said there were some 200. A relief train with twenty physicians and nurses and full of supplies left Spring- field, Mo., this morning for Marshfield, and prbhabiy other • trains will • arrive during the day. The storm was general in sonthwestem Missouri, and other places probably suffered damage, but as the telegraph wires are all prostrated no advices have been received. Violent hail arid rain accompanied the wind. Chicago, April 19.—A special to tlie Neics says the town of Marshfield, Mis souri, has been totally destroyed by stonn and fire. Seventy-five pereons were killed and two hundred wounded. The tele graph wires are all ■ down. A special to the VeiM says that at Groy’s creek, hear Jefferson (Sty, Missouri, four five bouses were blown dowtf, aiula number of persons injured. One house waS blown across the Missouri and Pacific railroad track, and no wanting being given, the train ran into it, demolishing tho locomo tive,,and severely wounding tho engineer and fireman. The "passengers escaped unhurt. Accounts are meagre in conse quence of prostration of the wires. A very severe stonn swept OVer this section ofthe State last night, doing con siderable damage tri property, both in this city and in neighboring towns. *,Tliis morning 81 wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company were down, and com munication cut off in almost every direc tion. The weather is now turning cold, and threatens snow. St. Lolis, April 19.—A telegram from Springfield, via Vmita- rind Kansas City, to C. iV. Rogers, General Manager of the; St." Louis and San Francisco railroad, : says a hurricane passed a few miles south of Springfield about seven o’clock last night, doing an immense amount ot dam age and killing a great nninber of people. Fifty deaths are reported-at James River, five miles south of Springfield.emd a great many persons are missing. The train dis patcher at Conwby, fourteen miles this side of Marshfield, reports that lie ar rived there from Springfield at 11 o'clock, and says he found the country in a ter rible condition. From Norlhview, seven miles west of Marshfield, to the latter point, trees three feet in diameter were pulled entirely ouY of the ground, tele graph poles were twisted off, and every thing wrecked. The town of Marshfield was demol ished,brick, as well as frame buildings,be ing tom to pieces. We did not see more than half a dozen people as we came through that town. The place seemed de serted. Tlie doctors and nurses who came on our train from Springfield, about twenty in number, went from the depot alone to hunt up the people, there being no one at the depotto receive them. A relief train was sent from Lebanon to Marshfield at daylight this morning, with about fifty doctors, nurses and helpers,and a full supply of provisions, clothing and medical stores; also, material for repair ing the telegraph line. The names of the killed and wounded at Marshfield have not yet been received. Telegraphic commu nication is being restored. There are re ports that the city of Grandby, about 100 miles southwest of Springfield, was great ly damaged. Also, Warrensboro, on the Missouri and Pacific, sixty-five miles this side of Kansas City, was badly injured, but the reports have not boon verified. ■ St. Louis, April 19.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from Lebanon, says the tornado which caused such fearful havoc at Marshfield last night, passed through Green and Webster counties, following the course oflhe-Jamesrivennanorth-east direction. It struck the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad in four places, and left it near Franks’ station, 110 miles this side of Marshfield. The latter place pre sents a terrible appearance, there not being more than a dozen houses un banned in the place. The court house and many other buildings took fire, and the scene was of a most dreadful charac ter. No details of the calamity have been received. The force of the wind lifted trees entirely out of the ground, and telegraph poles and wires were carried hundreds of rods Into the woods, and tied and knotted among the limbs of trees, as though they were cotton strings. 1 Everything possible is beine done to assist and succor the wounded! not only at Marshfield, Uilt at other places. Physicians throughout the country are flocking to the points most injured, and doing all they can to alleviate the suffer ing. Doctors went from Springfield to the James river country, six miles south, as well as to Marshfield, and scores ot kind-hearted people have volunteered as nurses. Captain Rogers, general mana ger of the Si. Louis and San Francisco [tailroad, is sending special trains with re lief wherever good can he done, and all are doing everything possible to aid the injured and dying. St. Louis, Mo., April 20.—The first dispatch direct from Marshfield, was re ceived late last night by the Globe-Demo crat, and gives the following description ofthe storm: This town and county were visited by one of the most destructive cyclones last night, passing through several miles of country in Christian, Greene and Webster counties, carrying everything in its path way. It struck this town at 6 o’clock. Eye-witnesses of the approaching storm say it was a frightful looking black cloud lined with fleecy white, funnel shaped, arid moving in tho manner of a screw pro- iropeller. It moved with frightful ve- ocity, destroying and blowing away every thing in its path, which was about half a mile wide. Trees were twisted off, telegraph wires snapped, and the bark literally peeled from small trees. Houses were blown from their foundations, cattle, hogs,shcep, horses and poultry were whirled into the air and carried a great distance. The noise . of thfe storm, crash of falling houses and the cries and screams of the terrified people made a scene of- horror that beggars description. What was a beautiful and peaceful town of 800 inhabitants twenty-four hours ago, is now waste and devastation. Out of 200 dwellings, twenty are standing, and but few of those are uninjured. Ofthe business houses around the public square, all but three are utterly demolished, and their contents blown away, bunted, or badly damaged. About 3 o’clock a freight tram from Springfield brought about 300 persons with provisions and medicine for the wounded. As rapidly as the bodies of the dead could he extricated from the ruins, they were prepared for interment. The wounded were conveyed to the only available strecture left, a public school building, which was not damaged. It was turned into a hospital, and there are now ■fifty wounded in the building, under the care df the £noble women from Lebanon and Springfield, who are doing all in their power to aleviate the sufferings df those in their care. The loss by this ter rible calamity is estimated from $350,000 to $400,000. Of the 800 inhabitants of Marshfield who yesterday had happy, and cemfortablc homes, seveu-eightla are without houses, clothing, food, or means to procure them. The destitution and suffering is terrible. St. Lotus, April 21.—A special from Marshfield saya 71 victims of the stonn have been buried, and 25 or more are in a dying condition. Tbe number seriously wounded is about 159. A babe, about eighteen months old, whose mother was killed and whose friends were all woun ded, was found on the 19th instant, in a ravine north ofthe town, where it lay all night. It is now doing weiL Another child, two years old, was found on the afternoon of the 19th in a tree-top, where it had been nearly twenty- four hours. It was considerably bruised. It was claimed by its parents, who live two and a half miles -from the southern portion of the' town. The child’s aerial flight, therefore, must have extended over three miles. A wagon has been found that was car ried four miles by the wind, and a section of a smokestack of a mill that was carried three miles and a half. It is reported that from 30 to 40 persons have been Wiled in the country, and that the town of Corsicana, in Barry county, is as badly wrecked as Marshfield. St. Louis, April 21.—The latest advi ces from Texas county, Missouri, say fhe town of Licking was entirely destroyed, with the exception of three houses, by Sunday night’s storm.

Syracuse. Syracuse, April 20.—In the regular Democratic convention last "night, the principal feature of the platform adopted is denunciation of the election frauds of 1S70. The resolutions are thought to strongly favor Tilden, and contain tho following reference to him: Tho Democratic party ofNew York add to their condemnation of the electoral conspiracy an emphatic declaration of their continued confidence in the charac ter, ability and fitness of that distinguished citizen of New York, who was then elected to the highest oilice-Jn the peo ple’s gift, aud who was, in his own per son", the object of the joint attack on his party, his fellow citizens, and the cause of free government. The blow which de prived the country of its chosen ruler was not aimed so much at him as at the Dem ocratic millions who stood behind him. The delegates to tlie national conven tion were instructed to advocate the two- tliirds rule; to enter the convention as a unit, act as a unit and vote as a unit, in accordance with a jnajority t of the mem bers thereof, arid were empowered to fill all vacancies caused by resignation, death or otherwise. The resolutions conclude as follows: 1tcsolred, That in case any attempt should be made to dismember or divide the delegation by contesting the seats of a portion of the delegates anil any of the delegates appointed by this convention should countenance .such attempt by as suming to act separately from a majority of the delegates appointed by this conven tion, or to enter the national convention separately from such majority, or should fail to co-operate with such majority, the seats of such delegates shall be declared to be vacated.

Mr. Northwick was knighted and Mr. H. S. Northcote, member-elect for Exeter, was created a companion of the Bath. London, April 21.—It is likely that af ter to-day’s cabinet council Lord Beacons- field will go to Windsor to tender his res ignation. The press association states that after the Premier’s visit to the Queen his successor will be summoned, and her majesty’s choice will be published to night. It appears to be the general belief that Lord Harrington will be sent'for. London, April 2f.—It Is possible the retirement of the present ministry will be deferred until after the marriage of the Princess Frederika, of Hanover, with Baron Remmcngen, which will take place next Saturday at Windsor, and to which Lord BeaconsfieTd and several members of his Cabinet have been invited.

Tbe names of Blaine and Shaman were also received with considerable applause. 1 The first trial of strength between the. staight-outs and Readjusters, or Mahone men, was in the temporary organization. M. Hill, Readjusler, of Petersburg, and Peter J. Carter, of Northampton, straight- out, and both colored men, were nomi nees. Carter was elected by »vote of 74 to 48, a victory -of 26 for the straight-out ers.

A minority favoring the claims of contes tants from Rickmond, and the persistency of J. B. Sypliax, of Alexandria, who was also unseated by the committee’s report, brought on a violent and disorderly dis cussion, which threw the whole conven tion into confusion, a dozen being on the floor at one time trying to be heard, and delegates crowding the aisles. The Chair man had great difficulty in maintaining or der, and appointed a sergeant-at-arms to assist him. The confusion continued un til seven o’clock, when • the convention took a recess until eight.

Kentucky Lawlessness. Cincinnati, April 21—The Time* baa dispatch stating that two men, named Yancey and Mitchell, in jail at .Mobley, charged with murder, were this morning taken out by a mob pf masked men and hung. Cincinnati, April 21.—Yesterday af ternoon at Mayfield, Kentucky, W. W. Ezeil, of that place, shot aud killed-Dr. Dalton, of Calloway county. The trou ble between the men grew out of. an at tempted elopement of Ezell’s sister-in-law with Dalton a year ago. A Mammoth Orange Grove. We publish, says the Florida Union the following description ot an orange grove in' Marion county,- given by a cor respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, sim ply"'. to show how largely aad rapidly this industry is" being developed in this State : .- ;I had the pleasure of visiting recently one of the most extensive', orange groves in the Stato, the property of Mr. James A. Harris, a very enterprising "young’man, who has raised himself in the short space of ten years from, a poor man’s estate to that of a prince. Borne call him the Prircfe of Orange. His grove is on the southeast hank -.of Orange' Lake, which lies about twenty-five miles southeast of Gainesville, a good day’s drive over these roads. ii . I had heard so much talk of this grove all over the State, that I decided to see it and the owner and let your readers hear its history.. Its value at present is so great; however, that it seems almost fab ulous and beyond belief, especially to people who have never seen the wonder ful fortunes made in a few short years irt flie orange culture. There are, of course, a great many failures.by inexperienced persons.,- Mr< Harris’ grove is a part Cf a 500 : sere tract of hammock land, which sold for $2,000 ($1 per acre) in lSODY In 1S74 Harris bought it all for $10 per acre. The hammock contained a great number Of sour orange trees* which, when budded from tlie sweet produced the sweet to per fection. . Mr; Harris commenced clearing his hammock; in 1871, and at once pro ceeded. to budding the sour trees. In three- years , they commenced to bear, each year, increasing in quantity and quality. , Mr. Harris sold portions of his; purchase as soon as. completed to different- parties, until he at.present holds but 185 acres. A Mr. Bishop, of Cleveland, was tlid largest purchaser, and now has a grove probably equal, ip, value and adjoining Mr. Harris’. Harris has 140 acres under Way, and tliis last year’s crop from 10,- 000 trees (estimated) on seventy acres bfonght him a trifle less than $19,900. Tlie nnp of Maxfield & Co., ofNew York city, were the purchasers, and they picked apd took away the fruit themselves, with out a cent of expense to Mr. Harris. The mode of carrying the fruit from all parts of the grovd is at. "once admirable, cheap and ramd/-' Tho, packing or shipping hocSe i^>f course on the lake side at the .boat landing. From this has been constructed .a complete system of narrow gauge railroads, with wood tracks,two foot gauge. These radiate from the packing house to all parts of the grove. The cars usdd are drawn by a mule, which cap thus haul as much as ah ordinary "four horse team. With such con venience the" labbr, time and expense of gathering the . crop is,. of course, very much diminished. The trade consists of ordinary pine joists, put together ladder fashion, and is laid down m sections of sixteen feet length. These can easily be taken up, put'on the car andhauled to any other portion of tho grove, and rclaid in an incredible sltort space of time. I should think our extensive fruit, growers would find it to their advantage to adept such a system. ,pf tracks, which also has the ad vantage of preventing the wheels of the wagon from cutting up the groves, as they are bound to do. 1 Mr. Harris is constantly kept busy thin ning out his trees. Tlie best distance is conceded to bo from twenty-five to thirty feet, malting seventy, to seventy-five per acre. The wild trees were, ofcotirie, much closer. Mr. Harris has about twen ty-five men working regularly, and ex pects in five years to liave 25,000 bearing trees, jf properly thinned out, if not slight ly more. The experience of all grange growers is, that after trees have com menced to, bear tbe crop increases yearly for an almost indefinite period. In seme parts of the State reports say, trees that have been bearing from twenty to.twenty- five years, yielded heavier this year than ever before. Mr. Harris said liis crop was light. -He expects $40,000 from it next year, out of which he will have to pay from $5,000 to $S,000 expenses. Ills net profit on the last crop, according to his books, which he showed me, was over $14,000, being 4 per cent, interest on $350,000. Consider ing that ten years ago he wasn’t worth $5,000, and the . probability that in five years lie will bp getting an income equal to 4 per cent, on Si,000,000,we must come to the conclusion that Mr. Harris has struck a bonanza. It must riot be thought, though, that all that is necessary is to buy the land and set out tlie trees. They re quire as constant and careful attention as any other crop. Many have failed by re lying oi> nature too much after the trees wereout. .... « Dr. Tutt’s pills is a- purely vegetable concentration for keeping the bowels natural motion and cleansing the system of all impurities, and a positive cure for constipation. They restore the diseased liver, stomach and kidneys to a healthy action, while at the samo time they brace and invigorate the whole system. apr20-lw Not all Killed.—Advices from Del aware City as late as Friday last, say the great cry about the total failure of tlie peach crop, has very small foundation this neighborhood. The late freeze came in a very fortunate time. There was no moisture on the trees and the cold had very little effect on the blossoms or buds Some trees that were well advanced have received a check, and will give part of crop. Others, from present indications, will yield quite largely. Several who were spoken to about it to-day confess themselves agreeably disappointed and quite well satisfied with the present out look. If nothing unfavorable occurs the growers will have a reasonably good crop, financial anb (fammercin LATEST TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS COTTON.

Ed Was bidden to set the milk for twenty- bonds: 6iass° aTtwo to five, 50; class a” four hours; and the next morning M- - - - m — - - —The resolutions adopted by .tbe Mas sachusetts Republican Convention are noticeable for the absence of every thing of a “Lloody-shirt” nature. They “deplore the existence of sectional strife and animosity and of parties bound by territorial lines.” This is a new de parture. told Lizado, or “Liz,” as wo called him, to churn. They had done such a thin:: as to chum butter before it appears. Ltz wept out and brought a bag of raw hide, about as latge as a. common meal bag. How clean it was’inside, I am sure I do not know; but he turned the cream into it, arid poured in new milk enough to fill it tyro-thirds full; and then he tied it up with a strong strip of hide. M| stood with a broad grin on Lis face. I was already tco much astonished to make any remarks. Liz now carried the bag out of doors, and . then got his horse. Taking his lasso off the saddle, he made one er.d of it fast to the cream bag ; the other end, as usual, being attached to the ring in the saddle. This done, lie jumped an the horse and tucked spurs to him. Away lie went, and at tlw first jerk that bag went ten feet in the air, and fell with: a sqauch, close up " at the horse’s hee's. At the next jerk It Went higher still. He soon went out of si^ht with the iag dancing after him. Srimetimes it hit iown alongside,the home, and sometimes It struck slap ou'the animal’s rump! JI-— was ; convulsed with" laughter—at me v I suppose; for I nmst confess that this up set all my previous ideas of butter mak ing. In the course of twenty or thirty minutes, JAt came back, the horse loot ing pretty hot, 'rind the bag very dusty. “Se mantica” (batter’s come), said, he. Ed untied the chum, and sure enough, there was a good horuely chunk of butter In it, and it proved to be very decent but ter too. I asked if that was tlie way they always churned.’ They said it was, and Ed declared It was “a, dale asier than turning a crank.”. So l respectfully sub mit the “method” to. all our good people up North. Everything needed for it is a sole-ieatlierhag, a clothes line and a horse. —Touth’a Companion. Grant as a Musician.—Belknap tells a good one on Grant: They "were at the Boston jubilee together. While rest ing in the hotel one evening they heard a band approaching," playing some martial air. Turning to Belknap the general In quired wpat tune that was, adding that he had been hearing 'it ever since he left home. He was told that it was “Hail to the Chief,” and they were playing it in his honor, for the band at that moment stopped under his windows. On the fol lowing day there was another serenade and reception, during which Grant tamed to Belknap'and said that he was glad that band had found Something new, as he was tired of that old tune. Belknap hurst in p hearty laugh, as the band at that very moment was rendering the inevitable “Hail to the Chief,” and the general did not recognize it.
