Fatal Result-Twenty.One Italians Com.
mitted to the Tombs.
Coroner Woltman Is actively engaged in endeav.
oring to learn by whose hands John Donovan,
twenty eight years of age, late OF No. rs West
street, received violence which resulted In his
death.
On the evening OF the 18th inst. gang OF twenty.
one Italian laoorers were engaged in sweeping the
west side O. Chatham square, when they were set
upon by gang of laborers OF another nationality,
during which Donovan was terribly beaten, he, as
charged, being one OF the assalling party. The
Italians were peted with brickbats and stones,
and some OF their heads cut open. The Italians
VINO defended themselves as best they could, have
since been very retcent regarding the matter, and
none OF them seemed able willing to tell who beat
Donovan; but it is presumable several Italians
were upon him at the same time with hoes or
some other heavy weapons. as pOsL-mortem made
on the body yesterday morning showed that he
had bad fracture vi the skull, which was crushed
In upon the brain.
OF the Italian laDorers were summoned before
Coroner Wotman and, through an interpreter, IN
formally examined separately. Each one claimed
to know nothing about the fatal encounter, al
though some OF them onessed to seeing crowd
IN the street, but SAID they did not know who
struck deceased.
The examination proving very unsatisfactory.
the coroner announced TO the men that ne mad no
desire to Cypress them but ne deemed u MS duty
to mold all OF them to await the result OF the IN.

number mad assaulted deceased. inc men stu

THE CROPS,

Reports from the West and south, which are
generally regarded as trustworthy, do not indi
cate favorable crops. The area of cotton Is not
only less, but the planter has suffered from frost,
flood and lice. To a considerable extent repant-
ing has taken place, but not under circumstances
that encourage hope. In Western barley the fall
ing on is SAID to amount to fully 10 per cent,
while the reduction OF acreage planted in spring
rye is fully 6K per cent. In cattle there is a de-
crease OF Is per cent. The wheat prospects,
however, are reported to be nettering, although
from some localities come complaints oil bad
weather. This is especially true OF Southern ILL.,
nois and the corresponding belt OF country.
II would be more gratifying, however, to know
what IS the condition OF crops abroad. II they are
likely to be short the United States will be the
gamer, for we can sell with profit and employ
our ships to advantage. L, on the other hand.
they are abundant we may again see the melan-
choly spectacle Of corn burned as fuel and the
smaller grain entombed in storehouses.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Money loaned at 3 and per cent, and was abund.
antly supplied at the former rate. The foreign
exchange market was firm, on the basis OF ASH
for sixty days bills and 491H for sight, with
actual business at ASS 49l.

Pennsylvania, intisnated that some govern
ment officials we've interested IN the ouarries
from which the granite is obtained, but Mr..
Plat, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the

emphatically denied it. and explained that

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts offered an
amendment of which he gave notice yester-
day, TO abolish the civil service commission,
DE accepted the proposition of Mr.. Kassop
or Iowa, which makes it the duty of the
head of each executive department to pre-
scribe and publish rules for ascertaining the
quallncations OF applicants for appointments
at his disposal, and to make such appoint
ments from candidates who have
the qualifications aof honesty. eff
hciency and fidelity and not as
reward for mere party zeal, giving the
preference only to those who have the ad-
ditlonal qualification of an honorable record
in the military or naval service of the
United States, and to make such appoint-
ments as eq':itably as possible from the cam
didates from the several congressional dis
tricts. The proposition also rec uired the
reasons for removal to be entered on the
records of the department.
Mr.. HosAins, of New York, moved to
amend the amendment by striking out that
portion of it proposed by Mr.. Kasson, and
inserting in lieu of it a paragraph to give the
preference to soldiers and sailors, and their
dependant relations. Agreed to.
Without disposing formally of Mr..
Buffers proposition and the amendment.
the committee rose, and the House at 5:45
adjourned.

Such general comment as comes to hand,
indicates that the press at large means to
deal fairly with the phases of the recent in
dependent convention. II can not be con-
sidered wholly failure if the ultimate re-
suits are considered. The incoherent mass
that come together bent on a general rotor
nation. although doing those things which
momentarily impede the course of reform,
will by and by gain experience and training
and put into proper shape the demands OF
the time. 1t Is by no means hopeless stu
alton for the believer in reform. Great
events are brought to pass very slowly.
long after the creed has been worn
threadbare, and we need not despond that
even rogues have following of blinded
zealots who are slow to see and believe the
iniquities of parties. The partial check to
the amazing strides of non-partyism is an
immense encouragement to the party lead
ers and presses of both sides, and
the p@ans of triumph from straight
republicans ana straight democrats are loud
and long. Both are eager to seize the frag
ments gathered together under the banner
of reform. Both are therefore lavishing
broad Establishments on the farmers, and
showing them how sweet and good it is to
vote with the 'great parties" 1t is not
improbable that the WORK of the convention
has been threwn away, and that thousands
Disguised by the amazing folly
of those who attempted to give expression
to the reform sentiment, will hold aloof
from any active aid; but it is the duty ofthe
earnest men none the less to stand by what
is good in the work, and push the battle
onward under the independent
banner. There is a ticket in the
field, which, with one exception,
can be supported by those who prefer
political independence to party degradation.
1t is not probable that the candidates nomi-
mated at the Exposition can be elected-the
