IHE New York TICKET SwINDLEEs Under
an act passed by the last Legislature, Gov
Downey appointed Mr. c. Dickenson as Com.
missioner in the city of New York, for the
protection of California bound emgrants.-
Up to last accounts, he had been very ser
viceable in checking the frauds of the ticket
swindlers, as viii be seen from the following
taken from a late New York paper:
The arrival in this city of Mr.. c. Dickinson.
the agent sent on from California to prevent
ticket swindling. has had very beneficial
effect thus far Mr.. Dickinson has complain
ed Of some 10 or 90 of these bogus Offices.
representing them as disorderly houses
Justice Osborn has issued warrants in all
cases for the arrest of all persons found there
in, and instructed Capt Heart to serve them
Immediately. At the instigation Of Mr.. Dick.
inson, the agent of the California Steamship
Company has made affidavit that No. IN
West street is the only genuine office for the
sale of California tickets, and that all others
are bogus ones, calculated to swindle the
public. If the other Steamship Companies
will do the same thing, we shall hear fewer
complaints of ticket swndling. The fact that
all these offices can be proceeded against as
disorderly ones and the occupants as disor-
derly persons, whether caught in any swind-
ling transaction or not, renders these bogus
dealers exceedingly shy lately.
In this connection, we quote the following
from the San Francisco Alta:
The evil now promises to be speedily
a6ated, and, SO far as the Commissioner is
concerned it will be eifectually accomplish
ed. In late letter to a friend here, he says
that he has had trouble in enlsting the co.
operation of Allen, VOnderbilts sonin law,
ard agent of the Steamship Company. In
one case, having waited some time for him
to make the necessary complaint, and he
showing no disposition to come forward, the
Commissioner asked for subpoena to bring
him nolens volens, and he intends continuing
IN this course until he can break up the en-
tire system of fraudulent ticket agencies.
AFFECTING soENE.-The British Colonist
thus describes an affecting scene which took
place in the police court room at Victoria,
on the 18th June:
Captains Fay and Simmons, Indian Agents
Tor Washington Territory, brought over three
uyder squaws, who had been rescued from
the SnohomG Indians, on the Sound. where
lhey had been taken prisoners, and made
slaves. 1he poor creatures on being brought
into Court, seemed much affected on seeing
several OF their relatives present and shed
tears freely. One of them recognized her
sister in the group of friends, and kneernr at
her feet grasped her hand and bathed il in
tears, Her sobs OF joy and expressions of
delight at her return, were such MS to affect
all present. The American Indian Agents
were present, and stated that they had re-
covered these women from the Snohomes.
only on condition that they were to use their
influence in recovering three Indians who
were stolen from the Massat tribe about
year ago. and made slaves 10y the Hyders.
"Bearskin,' great chief of the IIyders, who
was present promised to do all in his power
to restore the captiyes, and the women were
released from custody, and suffered to depart
with their friends, uttering many expressions
of gratitude for the kind manner in which
they had been treated 10y the American au
thorities. Messrs. Fay and Simmons deserve
much credit for the eXe:tious they are max
ing to put an end to slavery among the In
dians-they having rescued no less than s
squaws, who were taken prisoners by the
Snohomes, within few weeks.
