This captain was also summoned, who gave
in evidence, that Glentworth stated to him
while on board, that he had men going TO
on to Newly ork for the purpose of voting,
who he denominated as "Hesslans," and
Capt. S. reprcmanded him for the vileness
of the transaction, and told him he could
point out the very men he lad engaged
and did so. The clerk Of the boat was al.
so examined, and corroborated the eyi.
dence of Capt. S. This is enough to prove
fraud against Glentworth and Young.
Previous, however, to any examination,
and before any portion of it was diyuged
by Stevenson, he, S, went to Philadelphi2
pretending to have come on the bus mess
as had Glentworth two years before. He
states in his deposition that mayor Swift
Badger, and Riston, the broker, (the same
individual whom the Grand Jury of Bolti-

Baltimore election, all agreed to help him.

The Philadelphia papers that came 10

James Young, totally den ging the one he
gave before the Recorder of this CITY,
That he has pc, jlred himself thereby, is

A disreputable transaction took place
last night, in the Court Of Sessions, grow
ing GU: of this case. A few days ago, tbs
Recorder seized some papers belonging 10
Glentworth, and had determined TO lay

CATION, yesterday; but Glcntworth's coun.
sci had employed the Sheriff, who claimed
the papers by replevin; the Recorder de-
c!tned surrender:ng them, and presented
them to the Mayor to satisfy the Court Of
the soundness Of the seal, when Client
worth, pretending TO doubt its soundness,
requested to look at them. They were
handed 10 him, when he imme diately put

them up. The Recorder laid hold Of him,
when scutlie ensued, during which the
District Attorney and the Recorder were
severity injured; Justice Matsel had his
clothes much torn, and the others wcIa
more or less damaged. Order was at length
restored, and the right of claim TO the keep.
