ENIGK.sr SwISpLIsG-A coon Now. - AZ a
large meeting Of Germans held in ths city few days
since, il was determined TO organize society, to be
known IA the German Benevolent Society, for the
purpose Of aordng redress to foreigners visiting this
cty who are unfortunate enough 10 become victims Of
the numerous tribe of ticket swndlers and boarding
house robbers who infe- every passenger landing in
the city. Thu step has been found necessary, from
the many recent bold and heartless robberies perpe
traed upon ignorant foreigners here, and the utter
mpossibity of any person, sngle-handed, bringing
the scoundrels TO justice. The immediate moving
cause of the German indignation was the highhanded
swndle recently perpetrated upon three Germans who
came from the far West this city to take passage for
the old country. On the ears between here and Al.
bary they were accosted by hotel-runner who took
them to a hotel in this city, where they We're swndled
out Of portion of their money by means OF bogus
tickets robbed of the remainder, their baggage taken
from them and themselves turned into the street house
less rcnniIess foreigners in strange land, far from
home. They could get no Justice although they applied
10 magistrate for warrant TO arrest the robbers.

the customary manner, he would have issued war

There have been complaints made against these ticket
and boarding house swindlers by foreigners who had
lost all they possessed upon which the guilty persons
have been brought before the magistrate, who would
require theta to give bail in few hundred dollars for
their appearance to answer. This they could easily
obtain; bat the poor compliments, among strangers
and without money give 10 security for their ap-
pearance at some distant day prosecute and so they
are committed 10 prison. The trial OF the case Is
Geayed Nv the arts Of potto2gng lawyer from week

de.rous of regnng their liberty, and III some eases
having been brought, 10 the brink of che grave by
sickness ocoa,oncd by their confinement, have been
induced TO withdrew their complaint.
In such cas-. The complainant is set at liberty the
honi.nen are released and the swinder pursle- hi
business as usual. This has not been done once or
twice but time and again, and l. even asserted that
