SWINDLING IN NEW YORK.
Ko sooner does one iiiL'onioun trick
forswindlinL' tho cullublo public bciriu
to show signs ui giving out, oilhcr
inrougii mo exposures lu tlio pupors,
tho action of tho police, or the nuturiil
exhaiiBlution of tbe muteriul on which
Ud authors feed, limn another is do
vised ; and forthwith the j'eeso who
ought to be tuken out on burum I'luin
and driven cacklinir homo to Cumclot
are onco moro plucked, and tbe lund
iBUculcncu with their indignant hisses.
Time was when the victiaig annealed
to tbe law. Then, when that abstract
power wag found to bo impotent to
iiunibb or lo save, they wrote to the
Jayor, the Sheriff, tbo Coroner, tit
Jailor at tho Tombs, tbe Chief of Po
lice, the Sexton of Grace Church, or
even to the street Commissioner, tn
tbe vain hope of obtaining redress
through mysterious agencies, supposed
to be known only to those dignitaries.
At last tbey invoked tbe press. As
fust as new bubbles were blown and
burst, bushels of complaining letters
were sent to the daily papors of ew
York, and time after lime the deluded
victims of tbe swindlers creed and
tbeir own ignorance wore cautioned
against placing confidence in tbe in-
ventors oi" schemes, which, according

The warnings of tbe press were of no
lurtber avail than to break up a few
rascally firms for tbe timo being.
These began to operate anain. before
long, under new names, and with new
plane. Tbe same victims were trap
ped, more letter were written, the
old caution reiterated, but again and
again the Kellys, the Clark k Web
ster, and tbo dozen and one other
adventurers to whom tbe commission
of fraud was legitimate business, flood
ed tho country with thoir circulars-
cost their bread upon the waters as it
were and the return was all their
fancy reckoned it. Mayor Hall has
recently Issued k proclamation warn
ing people in tbe rural districts scuinsl
the legion of sn indlors wbo operate
wun circulars, on it is vain to hope
that even this official caution will be
heeded.
Many are apt to think that none but
young and inoxperionced people are
lanen in oy these sharpers. "In the
morn and liquid dew or youth conta
gious vices are most imminent," and
an epidemic of thiovery of the baser
sort is sure to prove fatal to the thin
purses of yoing rustics of moro cre
duli'y than judgment. But tho dan
ger is not conQnod to them. Old peo
ple of both sexes, who have lived
through generations of all kinds of
swindles are hooked by overy rogue
tbat throws out a printed lino of, glit
tering promics, ana their lamenta
tions are sad to bear. They read tbo
warnings of the papers, but listen at
tbe same time to the honeyed words
of the tempter, and again invest their
money in his schoiucs, only to loso it

Thero are one or two nondcs. riit
firms in New York whoso main busi
ness consists in collecting the names
anu addresses ol obscure people
throughout the country, and renting
the list to adventurers at so much per
thousand names. One, of these firms
on Nassau street ia reputed to have a
genuine, list numbering 3(111,000 names
confined to the Northern, Kastcrn and
Western Stales alone. When a gift
enterprise adventurer desires to sow
his circulars broadcast over tbe land,
he makes an arrangomont with the
list holder, and at a given price copies
ss many names as he may wish to use,
and for many dnys the owners of these
names keep themselves in a alato of
bewilderment. in attempting to dis

by the single-hearted capitalist of the

TIU SEWING MACniSE PWlUCI.t.
Ono ol the crudest swindles ever
practiced in this country is that of the
"Family Sewing Machine Company,"
whoso principaioflice is said lo be at
iso. 102 -Nassau si., New lork. These
hardened villains, a hundred limes
meaner than ho w ho "plundered the
impoverished Africans of their very
girdles" tho only garments which
the dusky Elhiops are supposed to
have worn in very early times pub
lish a circular which is never seen
within a hundred miles of New York,
except in their own den, but is mailed
to country towns far away from tho
city. In this it is set forth tbat they
miiko and sell tho most wonderful
sewing machine in tbe market at the
low price ol 15 ; that it can hem, run
up, luck, shirr, gather, and perform
all those other operations without
which the seamstress could never
make so much as a cutty sack ; that,
in addition, it sews with a straight
needle, makes the hand stich, never
pots out of order, is warranted for a
lifetime, and is delivered without risk
or fail to carh purchaser. Hundreds
of poor girls in all parts of the conn
trp havo been shamefully robbed by
tho issuers of that circular, and it is
to be hoped that, if il bo not an abso
lute impossibility to bring any of the
myriad of swindlers of tho oountry to
jusnce, these it iiows may ere long be
made to suffer for their unpardonable
villainy. Should the Vigilance Com
mitter) ever stsrt out fairly on a tour
of lustration through tbo infected dis
tricts of Manhattan, it would be well
for them lo cull first at No. 102 Nas
sau st., or wherever clso the "Family
Sowing Mat hino Company" may bo
found, and swing the members of that
organitntion by tho heels to the high
est trees in the City Hall Park.
Another of these swindles is the
Franklin Sewing Machine Company,
whose oflleo is st 67 Broadway. The
circlrlnr of this concern is lithograph
ed, and the copy in our possession is
signed Jhomas Meyer, who, we be
lieve, is the husband of tho notorious
Sophia Meyer. This woman, il will
bo remembered, was prosecuted by
the Working-women s Protective
Union about a year ago, sent to pris
on lor 12 months, and pardoned by
Gov. Fenton. Sho has once been
tried on a criminal charge.
Til It t.XrRESS SWlNM.g.
Of the Express swindle there are
many varieties. Sometimes a well
dressed man stops at tbe house of a
ciiir.cn during his absence, and pre
tend to bo tbe bearer of an express
package containing a draft for 11,000
on which there are charges amounting
to $0 80 or $7 90. He opens tbe pack
sgo ann snows to the unsuspecting
lady of the mansion as honest a look
ing draft as one would wish to see,
collects the expressage.and disappears
Tho draft, staance to aay, is always
a bngub ono. There are many modi
firnlions of this trick, but as they are

national treasure extended from Con
gressmen, government contractors,
and tho leading plunderers, to tho
oner jtruuesor Bocreiy.and the nation
became one vast whirlpool of immor
ality. With the inoculation of tho
masses, the leading brains grew bolder
and felt surer of their power to inaueu-
rate a gigantic system of plunder
which depended, in great part, for
success upon a public opinion thus
prepared. So education went on, re
flected from low to bitrb. until the
country could take, as a well Dlavod

The country was ready then were)

schemes for plunder which have since
