The disappearance Of two more men is noted
in our columns to-day. What is their fate
cannot now be told; possibly it never will be.
Within a few days several cases Of the dis
covery of the remains of unknown victims Of
violence have also been reported, and these
swell the chapter of a city's mysteries and
miseries. Much of this may be considered in
cdental TO the wickedness of any great me-
tropolis but how much is directly cbargeable

A sorrowful tllo of mans inhuman.ty to
mani is told in our columns to-day. The
victims are three hundred men, women, and
children, gathered from Italian towns and VII
lages. under false pretcnses of being sent to
South America. Landed in New-York in the
beginning of om forbidding Winter, these
poor people find themselves cruelty deceived
and abandoned, without money friends, or
personal effects The swindlc is utter, and
the unhappy foreigners are just awalling to
the terrors of their situation. The rascals
who betrayed these immierarts are out OF the
reach Of our laws; but the immigrants them
selves appeal 10 the sympat'iies and bcnoyo-
lcnce of those among whom they have been
so ruthlessy flung.

the same figures they charge the country
dealer. The latter purchases goods with the
expectation OF supplying the farmer, and OF

Of Pythias in searching for the body of Mr..

to despair of success when they received in
formation from a passing tug that Il body had
been washed ashore at or near Chaffin's bluff.

mains to be those of Mr.. Sweetman, fully
identifying them by his watch and the pa
pers on his person. They had been
washed ashore immediately under the
bluff The body was greatly swollen
and discolored, and the head was SC
badly mangled that the committee were Of
oninion that the deceased had been carried
under the wheels of the steamer and been
battered by the paddles.
Having been carefully placed in Il box
ready for the purtosp, the remains were
brought to the city, arriving here at about
