THE ALMS-HOUSE CONSPIRACY
COURT.
The Van Buren, Inquisition before the
Recorder at the Alms-House in N. York,
having broken open the mysterious packet
of papers taken from Glentworth, has adj
iourned. The Recorder, says the Ex-
press, having kept the Court sin session
until the tongue Of scorn and the anathe-
mas of whole community had become
too strong and powerful, has been COM
PEELED to break the seals, disclose the fol-
ly the conspirators had treasured, and adj
iourn the Court. \ more base, wicked
and disgraceful scene has never been wit
messed in this or any other community.
The Recorder and his associate, Mr. Whit
ing, have been fit and willing instruments
of Attorney General B. F. Butler, Jesse
Hoyt and the proAigate administrator.
We annex the Expresses analysis Of
the papers in the pocket. They are loose
memoranda--mere humbug-and neither
implicate Gov. Seward. Mr. Grinnel, or
any other respectable Wing. They show
the expenditure ofconsiderabe money by
the Wings, as they thought, to preserve
the purity Of the ballot box; the express
sion of opinion by Dudley Selden, that
even GlentwortIl should not be removed
from office upon mere rumor, without
proof. go.
analysts Of the Glent,yorth papers.-
To save our readers the trouble of going
through them, we present brief abstract
with explanations.
No. |. A small piece Of paper in which
was written in pencil mark the name of
&C. w. Rahwn, 239 North Seventh st.
This paper is of the greatest consequence.
| 1t goes fully to prove that the sub-Trea-
sury is the wisest and best measure for
the country; that Gen. Harrison is totally
unfit to be President of the United States;
that conspiracy has been formed from
; Maine to Louisiana, to cheat the Loco
Focos out of their dearest rights; that the
money expended in the Florida war has
not been used for eleciioneering purposes,
and that, &c. &c.
No. Q. Is bill for music and dinner,
which some wicked Wings in the 18th
Ward INDUCED in. and which differs from
the Loco Foco bills only in one essential,
viz: IT IS PAID!
No. 8 was small piece of paper on
which was written in pencil mark s'Mi-
chael Adams. Noble street, below Mar
ket." A fourth piece Of paper written in
ink "James 6. Wood, North I'd street"
The astounding facts connected with these
two pieces of paper convulsed the whole
Court.
No. 4 and contains the names of sun
dry individuals, but whether written in
pencil or ink, posterity will not know
On the back Of the paper No. 5 were sun
dry figures, the awful meaning of which
will not be discovered in the annals of
time.
No. contains letter which it is sup
posed Glentworth intended to send to the
Governor; whether he did or not, does
not appear.
No. 7 contains the names of sundry
individuals. which it is supposed may or
may not have been in the Globe, with
various figures attached to the end of
their names, just as MIR Attorney Gen.
Butler attaches L. L. D. to the end of his
name.
No. contains letter supposed to be
from our worthy fellow citizen General
Doughty TO Gov. Seward, asking that
Glentworth should not be removed from
Office until he had fair hearing. Dud-
ley Selden, Esq. united in the suggestion
contained in this letter. This letter pro-
duced great sensation. 1t expressed
sentiments so utterly repugnant to the
principles and practices of the Loco Foco
party, that thrill of horror ran through
the Recorder and the Seventh Ward Bank
District Attorney. Indeed this document
alone would be considered by the Loco
Foco party as subversive of all their prin-
ciples. 1t is doubtless the one on which
the conspirators rely to defeat the election
Of Gen. Harrison.
No. 9 contains these meaning words.
"Armstrong F. Flamerfelt, No. al Peck
Alley" The facts and arguments con-
tanned in these words will be introduced
to prove that Nlessrs Grinnell, Draper,
Blatchford, Bowen and Wetmore are the
most corrupt men alive.
No. 10 and l / contains sundry names
of individuals; but as the Recorder did
not announce whether they were written
lin pencil or ink, it is to be hoped, before
they are admitted as evidence, that the
question will be taken up to the Court of
Errors. If in pencil, let it be settled
whether white, black or red; or if in ink,
whether black, blue or red; and then let
it be published in the Albany Argus,
Globe, and Evening Post, under the head
of ssStupendous Frauds
No. IL is a letter from committee Of
Philadelphia gentlemen to Willis Hall,
Esq, written in 1898, postmarked Nov.
