NEW YORK, April ?.-At $50 O'Clock this
morning, as officer Hatton, Of the Fourteenth
precinct, WAS patrolling Mulberry street,
when nearly opposite No. Al, an Italian named
Dominique Wyman,a street sweeper, came out
hurriedly and Informed him that . man lay
murdered in the yard at the rear of The alley
way. The officer raped for assistance, and
On entering the yard a strange spectacle pre-
ssntcd itself-a body almost insnimate, with
the side Of the face beaten nearly TO pulp,
and gag ged with . clothes.l'ne
1t was securely bound hand and foo, and
rendered incapable Of movement. A few pull.
satons were still visible, but there was COM
plete Inconsistencies. The body was con.
veyed to the station. house, and the officers
returned to the building, which Is . rickeity
tenement, and went up stairs. On the third
floor door and window were found open, and
Catherine Fox and Catherine Scanlon were
found awake, sleeping In different apartments.
On the next floor below eight Italians were
found engaged in q lively conversation. o.,
On inquiry 1t was sscertained that the In
jured man was the husband OF Cathariue
seanlon, and the rope was traced to the
ownership of three Italians named Angelo
CLilela and Felix Chilela, cousins, and Angelo
Guarop. Circumstances pointed to foul
murder, as It was known that the woman
Scanlou was carrying on improper relations
with one Of the Italians, Angelo Chilela, and
she did not manifest any perturbation on be-
ing aroused by the police. Wyman said he
heard heavy thud As ofthe sound ofa falling
body before he went into the yard, and that
he felt satisfed that Chilela was an acce ssory
at least to his attempted murder.
The open window api the piece Of its frame
by which Scsnlon's body was tied sustained
the theory Of murder.
Alice Wall, reading In the house, confirmed
Wymsn's story In all Its essential particu ans.
The three Italians, with the witnesses, were
arrested. They were brought before Justice
Kilbreth.
Angelo Chilela and Angelo Guaron are mon
ofswarthy complexion, low in statute and re.
pulave IN physiognomy. Their clio hing and
faces were filthy. They were unable 70 speak
English, but plead "not guilty" While
the investigation was going on word was re-
ceived from the Chambers street hospital that
sc.nlon was dead, having died there at 1O:l6
O'Clock this morning. As he was uncop.
scious from the time OF his entrance into the
hospital until he died he made no daie-,aorfe1n
statement.
Justice Kilbrtth directed to have the pris-
oners remanded to await the production of
further evidence, aud the officers are now
engaged in that way At the scene of the out
rage.

A COMPARISON.

There d q paragraph floating through
the pres, which announces the startling fac.
that during the last eight years property in
South Carolina under Republican rule has
decreased in value $55, ,000. 900. From this
fact We turn and point to the following
truth: Property in Missouri during the
last four years under Democratic rule has
decreased in value over $500. 000. 900. How
do the two compare, and in which party
il reform most necessary This comparison
can be extended further, and quite as IA.
vorAbly to the Republican party. The
municipal debt of Philadelphia under
Republican rule is not one sixth as large
Is that of New York under Democratic
domination. Thus it Is with every city In
the Union. Where Democracy reigns. mu.
nicipal and State debts are increased with
amazing rapidity. Reform is necessary.

SITTING BULL with few warriors in the
field These are said to be hurrying to-
ward the British possessions, and will
probably take refuge there to escape the
troopa which they believe are pursuing
them. but which are in reality not within
. hundred and fifty miles Of them. The
question now arises What commission
had Sr0rTKD TAIL to treat with or influ-
ence those Indians to come In; and II any,
what were the conditions ON which they
surrsnderedt Certainly the Government
cannot grant immunity to such danger
Gus warrior as CRAzr HoRsE. His last
years depredations and hostility have cost
the Government many valuable lives aad
millions OF money, and his punishment
should be prompt and severe.
