Mark Flanagan Convicted of Murdering | His Wife—He is Sentenced to the State Prison for Life. Before Recorder Hackett. The trial of Mark Flanagan, charged with killing ie wife, was terminated yesterday, Recorder Hackett delivered a carefuily prepared and very able charge. He said that the specific charge against the prisoner was that he, on the 15th f August last, with felonious intent and with the premeditated design to effect the death of Cath- erine Flanagan, his wife, did, with the use ofa dangerous knife, stab and kill her, The defence Anterposed was a plea of not guilty upon the ground of insanity at the time of the commission of the act. It was not denied, and the proof without contradiction established the fact that the pris- ‘ner did stab his wife, and that the wounds he in- Micted superinduced her death within an hour after their infliction. The defence of insanity, said the Recorder, now interposed is by no means a movel one in this or older communities, and to uch an extent has it been resorted to, and in so Many cases successfully—where the public mind, after acquittal, has had reason to believe that it ‘was wickedly interposed and corruptly sustainea— that a strong prejudice has been worked in the blic mind against such defence, and, as an emi- nent priest has had occasion to observe, has pro- duced in courts and juries a disposition to receive &t with extreme jealousy and scrutinize it with praiseworthy caution, it is true that the plea of insanity has in some cases been adopted ‘as a cloak for crime and a shield against the con- sequences of its perpetration; but it is equally true, 98 asserted by the same eminent jurist, that’ many more persons have been unjustly convicted, when that defence has been interposed, and caused to suifer the punishment for crime, when their un- questioned insanity ought to have been an unfail- eee. Honor then went on to say that every man is to be presumed sane and to possess a sufficient Metre, of reason to be responsible for his crimes until the contrary be proved to the satisfaction of @ jury, and to establish a defence on the ground of dnsanity it must be clearly proved that, at the time + of committing the act, the party accused was labor- ing under such defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the mature and quality of the act he was doing, or if he did know it, that he did not knuw he was biped Lasts 2 AN apposite quotation free opinion of Chief Just His Honor then proceeded to recite the salient points of the evidence espectaliy bearing upon the mental condition of the prisoner at or about the time of the homicide. The prisoner after stabbing his wile said that he would poison himself, and drank some fuid, and also said he would drown himself; but he did not stab himself with the knife which he used upon his wife, although it was near at hand. Madmen generally kilied themselves with the same weapon with which they kill others. In conclusion, the Recorder said:—If alter ® careful review of all the testimony which is claimed to have shown that the prisoner was insane at the time of the commission of the homicide, you shall have arrived at the con- clusion that the evidence has established such to have been the fact, you should promptly acquit; but if, on the contrary, you sahil believe that at the time of the commission of the offence the prisoner Knew the nature of the act he was about to commit, that his mind was in @ normal, rational State, that he then had @ suilicient degree of reason to know that he was about to commit an act that ‘was wrong and criminal, and understanding the mature and character of the act, he, with the | felonious intent and premeditated design to effect the death of his wife, did stab her with a knife, causing her death, then, having no reasonable doubt of such conclusion, it will become your duty to convict him of the,charge. The Recorder then read to the Jury the statutory definitions of murder and the Various degrees of ice Shaw upon this point was | ‘manslaughter, and instructed them that they aad | ‘the power under their oaths to render any verdict they thought the evidence warranted them in find- ir. Kintzing presented a number of law points, which His Honor charged. After a brief absence from the court room, the Jory returned with a verdict of guilty of murder in dhe second degree. The prisonesy was arraigned, and the Recorder sentenced him to during his natural BROOKLYN COURTS. —- KINGS COUNTY SURROGATE’S COURT.

Libel Suit of the District Attorney. Before Judge Neilson. Argument of counsel was heard yesterday before His Honor Judge Neilson upon a motion of C. H. Wilson, counsel for Henry A. Richards, to reduce the bail of his client from $10,000 to $5,000. ‘The de- fendant, who is proprietor of a local weekly jour- nal, was recently arrested for having pub- lished an alleged libelous article reflecting upol the official integrity of District Attorney Winchester Britton, and his bail was fixed at $10,000, It was claimed that the bail was too high, as the defendant would not be at all likely to leave his home and business in Brooklyn. Mr. Morris, ex-District A eOEney, appeared for Mr. ft and opposed the motion for reduction of bail. The Court took the papers and reserved decision. ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT. ee Saigo The Story of a “Blonde”—Career of a Ballet Girl as Told in a Police Court. The numerous domestic infelicities which prevaN among the inhabitants of the east side daily en- gross the attention of the magistrates, and the cases of abandonment brought to their notice oftentimes reveal the saddest phases of social life in the metropolis. A case in point yesterday was that of Carrie White against one Daniel W. White, and this is the story which she tells through her counsel, John A, Andrews :— The complainant is a well-formed, handsome woman, and one of those captivating blondes who lent 80 much fascination to the famous play of “The Black Crook.” Her name prior to her mar- riage, was Caroline Richardson, and she was born in Plattsburg, Clinton county, N.Y. It is the old, old tale ofa seducer’s wiles and a rural maiden THRUST INTO THE HEART OF A GREAT CITY, Irlendiess and homeless, at the early age of six- teen. Shortly after her arrival she became the in- mate of a notorious maison de joie, where she met the defendant, Daniel W. White. White was poor, but handsome, and won the heart of the fallen woman. He reciprocated her passion, and the intimacy culminated in the mar- rage of the pair, which took place at Newport, R.L, in September, 1866. In a brief space of time their means became exhausted, and Caroline, being a proficient in dancing, sought employment as a bal- Jet girl, which she found at Niblo’s, then under the management of Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer. So suc- cessful was she in her new calling that her earnings amounted to $40 weekly. The bulk of this went to the support of White, and also to establish the nucleus of a fund designe: to set the pair up in business, When her attrac- tions as a danseuse had died out the ambitious White, with the money thus saved, went into the business of keeping a boarding house. In the meantime the father of Carrie died and left her some six hundred dollars. This, together with the rofits of the establishment which they were keep- ng enabled them to purchase a restaurant at 78 Third avenue, and also another place called the Narragansett Restaurant, at No, 97 Murray street, where he now holds forth. Three weeks ago, as complainant alleges, Mr. and Mrs. White were living at 87 Fourth avenue, but Daniel had prospered in the world and tired of his devoted spouse. HE LEFT HER TO HER OWN RESOURCES. She was ejected from her house for non-payment of rent, and compelled to remove to 57 Stanton pct where she now resides, and hence the com- plaint. White, in defence, denies the alleged marriage, and asserts that before meeting Carrie he was al- ready married and the father of two children. Judge Shandley, after putting the defendant | Under $500 bonds, postponed the examination to Monday, the 28th inst. TOMBS POLICE COURT. A Warning to Merchants—How the Old Game is Still Played. Before Justice Dowling. In the Tombs Police Court yesterday before Judge Dowling, Richard C. Kemball, of 35 Warren | street, charged a man calling himself Charles A. Muller with forgery under the follewing circum- stances:—Muller went to Mr. Kemball’s store rep- resenting that he was a member of the firm of Wright & Wilson, of Wilbraham, Mass., and was recommended by a Mr. Oberholen. Muller wanted to purchase a quantity of groceries, and believing his (Muller’s) statements, Mr. Kemball sold him goods to the amount of $552 82. Muller stated he would call next day and pay cash for goods. Yesterday he called at Kemball’s store and handed in a check, dated Springfleld, Mass., October 10, 1872,on the Aga- wam National Bank, for $775, signed F. 8. Bailey, cashier, and endorsed by Wright & Wilson. Mr. Kemball gave Muller a check for the difference be- tween Muller’s check and the bill of goods as pur- chased. When Muller received the balance he asked Kemball’s cashier to make the check “paya- ble to bearer.’ This request created some suspi- cion, and a peng 3 was sent by Kemball to another mercantile firm to inquire about Muller, Before the messenger returned Mr. Brewster, of 105 Reade street, came into Kemball’s store and said that Muller had been at his store and had pur- chased goods which were to be sent to Alabama. Mr. Kemball, on hearing this, at once stopped the goods purchased from his house, and, starting 1m- mediately for the Security Bank, on which the balance check had been drawn, arrived there before Muller, and not only spoiled Muller's game, but succeeded in having him arrested. Muiler was at once taken before Judge Dowling, at the Tombs Police Court, and was committed for trial, Mr. Brewster was also in Court to testify to Muller's attempt to swindle him. A NEW FERRY. Opening To-Morrow of a New Line to Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton. To-morrow morning the new ferry to be estab- lished between pier No.1 and Fort Hamilton will begin making regular trips, touching at Red Hook | and Bay Ridge on the way. Yesterday there was a | trial trip of the Golden Gate, which, with the Bay Ridge, will constitute for the present the fleet of the company. of gentlemen Interested in the property to be bene- fited by the ferry, but a band and a collation made the affair assume much the air of a very pleasant afternoon picnic, The ferry, it is stated, begins with the certainty of success. At Red Hook alone there are 1,500 mechanics who will be ac- commodated by this new channel of traffic, and at | Bay Kidge and Fort Hamiiton there is, of course, a considerable SC gg ges who will patronize the boats. The time of the through trip will be only twenty minutes ; but the boats will only start every alternate hour, At Bay Ridge the ferry will con- nect with a new railroad, now being built by Mr, AS T. Stewart, to connect that place with his settle- ment at Hempstead, and when this line is open it will be the est route for all the residents of Hempstead who do business in the lower part of New York city. At Bay Ridge also thera are everywhere signs of coming prog- reas, and a rumor is abroad that it will soon be made the termlaal depot of @ line of English steamers. Many advantages are claimed for it as a shipping depot over either Jersey City or the East River, ana especially that it is never much troubled with ice. Great improvements in the drainage of this part of Long Island have also recently been effected, and it is now as heaithy as atiy of the suburbs of Brooxiyn. The residents of Bay Ridge have themselves agreed to erect a new dock for the use of the ferry boats, but for the = the boats will lagd at the government oc i The purty present consisted chiefly | | NEW YORK CITY.

The ladi who have in: ‘ated this meritorious underta! ing are somew! disappointed at the want of pub- ay reciation of their efforts, The proceeds of 80 far fall considerably short of the sum ex- 0 be realized, and unless the benevolent come forward and dispense their kind offices in be- half of the ‘destitute old women,” many of whom are the wives and mothers of deceased soldiers of the late war, the ladies of the fair will be sadly dis- appointed. HOBOKEN’S SUFFERING TAXPAYERS, St Se ee Se Prospects of a Hard Fight Between the People and the Ring. Notwithstanding the consternation of the Hobo, ken Ring at the Herald’s expeg¢ of their schemes of public plunder, they seem still determined to make a desperate struggle for their existence in the ensuing election. The public already know what a difficult task it was to hurl the Jersey City thieves from their seats of power; and the labor necessary for the overthrow of the Hopoken Ring cannot be leas severe. The men who are interested in the giving out of contracts have taken a lesson from the Jersey City convicts; and so conduct their schemes as, if pos- sible, to avoid detection. They already contemplate the carrying on of new jobs with extravagant ex- penditures, and for this purpose it will be necessary for them to control the next Legislature. They recognize this necessity and are accordingly pre- paring to accomplish this object. The people have already learned how the last Assemblyman from Hoboken had an act passed authorizing the pay. ment of allthe money claimed by the men who ‘“{mproved” streets and “worked” for the city; and most of this money would now be paid had not the Supreme Court interfered to prevent the ROBBERY OF THE CITY. In despite of this and with the glaring fact staring them in the face that the city cannot raise money enough to pay her debts, the Ring, it is sald, intend to improve(?) the public square at Garden street. This is to be done chiefly at the expense of those living on the square. An act authorizing this flagrant wrong was passed at the instigation of the present Assemblyman, The salaries of all the Ring politicians were doubled; the Land and Im- provement Company were not to pay taxes tor the immense property they hold in Weehawken, All this was done by act of the Legislature at the insti- gation of the Ring. The overburdened taxpayers recently took initiatory measures to send an hon- est representative to Trenton. elections were called, about ONE HUNDRED REPEATERS were brought from Jersey City to vote, This at- tempt to stife the voice of the people of Hoboken was foiled in the Third and Fourth wards, where delegates were chosen who pledged themselves not to support the corrupt candidate. In the First ward only one delegate was in favor of him, Thus he obtained only four delegates out of twelve. The people were assured that some man would be se- lected who would not be bought or sold. Hereupon the buying of delegates commenced. The police force was made @ machine by the King. The unin- fiuential policemen were to be dogged in their movements, and on trumped-up charges efforts were t) be made to have them driven from the force in order to make way for friends of those delegates who should vote for the Ring Assembly- man. The result was that eight delegates voted for him. One of the incorruptible delegates out and told the assemblage in Odd Feliows' that he had been offered $75 for his vote. When the primary When the plundered property owners heard of the action taken by the Convention they immediately organ- ized to defeat him. They are now ready to confer with the republicans, and if the republicans remain uninfluenced by the democratic Ring, it is thought that some gentleman can be named whose CHARACTER AND REPUTATION will be sufficiently powerful to conquer all the Ring and corporation influence. Mr. John Lee and Dr. Goble are mentioned in this connection, Either of these hy aa? if nominated, will be certainly The republicans and the honest tax- pas therefore a chance which they cannot afford to lose. The election of their man in No- vember will save the city from a loss of millions of dollars, because the questions of riparian rights, the taxation of the property of the Land and Im- provement Company, the fraudulent expenditures of the Ring, the salaries of officials and other ques- tions of great moment are to come before the Legisiature next Winter. There are many men on whom the republicans and reform democrate can unite, The respectable citizens will support them; although the men who fatten on public money may bitterly oppose ther, and endeavor to cast ridicule upon the movement. Seldom, if ever, has the election ofan Assembiyman in Hoboken, been preg. nant with so many issues; and never have the honest taxpayers taken such interest in an election. If the people tail to conquer the Ring and its paid myrmidons, it can well be said that the rulers shall Le us coprupt a9 We people that make the + CURRENCY AND COMMERCE. Fourth Day’s Session of the Na- tional Board of ‘Trade. Gradual Contraction of Currency and Return to Specie Payments Recommended—The Cotton Tax—Political Corruption by the Present System of Voting—Abolition of Usury Laws Suggested—Ship Canals Around the Mississippi River Bar and Across the Florida Peninsula Urged Upon the Government. The delegates to the National Board of Trade re- assembled yesterday at ten o’clock A. M., President Fraley in the chair. The proceedings were opened by prayer by Rev. Dr. Prime, of this city. ‘THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING. The Executive Council reported in favor of hold- ing the next session of the Board at Chicago, which on motion of Mr. Duncan, of Louisville, was adopted, The Council also reported the re-election of Hamilton A. Hill as Secretary of the Board. POLITICAL CORRUPTION. Mr. Ropgs, of Boston, called up the following resolution, submitted by the Boston Board of Trade:— Resolved, That in view of the increasing danger of corrupt political combinations and the tyranny of party organizations this Board would argently recommend to Congress and to the Legisiatures of the several States the adoption of some improved system of voting, such as the so-called Hare system, by which the intelligent sense of the people may be ascertained and expressed, the tyranny o! Salaries overthrown or at least greatly mitigated, and the reign of unscrupulous and profligate Politicians and demagogues brought to an end. Mr. Ropes quoted from Davia Dudley Field’s essay on the Hare system of voting, and declared that the mmority under the present system have no voice in the election of representatives, It is possible, he said, to bring about a state of things whereby the majority, too, are not repre- sented by the persons elected, whether on @ general ticket or by districts. We are yearly growing worse and getting a lower order of representatives. Of the various methoas whereby the minority can be represented are six propositions :—First, substitution and proxy; sec- ond, allowing men to vote by proxy (that is, allow- ing aman to vote for his neighbors); third, the limited system, whereby if there are three candi- dates no man can vote for more than two; fourth, the cumulative vote, by which a man may give all of his votes to one person; filth, the list system of voting. This system would have its advantages. It is excellent in its workin; The last is the Hare method, where cre voter is allowed to give in his ballot murapiieg by his party, but in addition tohave the right to add a8 many names as he pleases and number the names in accordance with 8 preference. Under this system every man can vote for the man who is his first choice, and if his vote is lost on that it counts on his second choice, and so on to the end of the ticket. Mr. HOFFMANN ShoUahs this was a question we have nothing to do with, and he moved to lay it upon the table. Mr. Taylor requested it referred to the Executive Council, and that disposition was made of it, THE COTTON TAX. Mr. WHEELER, of Mobile, offered the following:— Rerolved. That inasmuch as we learn that the question of the cotton tax is now before the Supreme Court, we do not desire at this time to interfere with it, but to allow it to remain in its present position. Mr. Murpoou, of Mobile, stated that they merely wished to U pals peat until the decision of the Court is obtained, itis adverse and sustains its con- stitutionality they proposed to refer the matter to Congress. The resolution was adopted. FREE TRADE IN MONEY. Mr. WETHERILL, of Philadelphia, moved the adoption of the following:— kesolved, That the Executive Council be instructed to petition the Lexi sof States where usury laws ex- 8 will leave to each State the right sh astandard rate of interest in the absence of aspecific contract between partics, but shall make all persons free to trade In money, by borrowing, loaning or otherwise, at such rates of interest as may’ be agreed upon, The resolution was adopted after a brief debate as to the power of national banks, REDUCTION OF DUTIRS ON IMPORTS. Mr. Ropxs, of Boston, moved the following, sup- ported by a brief explanation :— Resolved, That this Board regards with great satisfac- tion the recent action of Congress for the partial relict and protection of American industry by a moderate re- duction of duties on imports, and believes that such y of reductions benefits ‘both producers and _con- industry, by checking waste and extravagance, and thus promoting economy of produc- tion, and by diminishing the enormous cost of living, al- most unequalled in any other country. ‘The resolution was unanimously passed. CONTRACTION OF THE CURRENCY. Mr. Ropes, from the Boston delegation, moved the following :— Resolved, That, the National Board ot Trade reaffirms emphatically its declaration of December, 1871, that it is incumbent on the national government to prepare, by 8 moderate but steady contraction of the legal tender cur- Feney, for the ultimate resumption of specie payment by the national treasury and the national panks, and be- lieves that such contraction, instead of curtailing the legiti credit and industry of the people, will rather tend to enlarge them by checking unwarrantable specu- lation, and thus restoring capital to its broner channels, by greatly enhaneing the value of all national securities, by restoring a sound and just standard of value, and by substituting tor a fixed and unelastic volume of irredeem- able paper, the precious metals and the credit legiti- mately based on them, the amount of which 1s practically inexhaustible. Mr. Vinal, Of Boston, opposed the proposed re- duction, believing that the federal currency is the best we have ever had. He would compel the na- tional banks to call in their circulation, and with- draw their bonds locked up in Washington at the rate of five per cent per quarter—he would compel them to set apart one and a half per cent of tl five per cent for the purchase of gold for a reserve, the other three and a half per cent to be spent in redeeming the circuiation gradually. In this way in time we would reach specie payments, and the banks would have this one and a half per cent per quarter or five percent’ per year to resume busi- ness with. The government should, onthe redemp- tion of these ragged bills of the national banks, supply good clean greenbacks as a circulating medium. Mr. CHITTENDEN, of New York, thought the green- backs was the best money we could have, and the jovernment would never abandon them.
