JOE In new YORK.
MGAulife EXGiteS the Admiration Of The
Sporting Fraternity.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Champion Joe Nc
Auliffe met with warm reception at the
Flfth-aVenue Casino tonight on the oc-
casion of the benefit rendered him. Many
expected that Joe McAuliffe of California
and Jack Fallon would meet on their
merits. but Master of Ceremonies Nc
Masters said that McAuliffe was suf-
tering from diphtheria. His physician
ordered him not to appear, but rather
than disappoint the crowd he was on hand
Owing to his illness the three rounds were
Of two minutes duration. There is so
much difference between the boxers that a
tar estimate of the man could not be made,
but enough was seen to prove him danger
Gus for any. man to face. His move
ments are quick, he strikes straight and
not ungracefully, ducks cleverly, and
altogether he handles himself like a
boxer. In his brief bout with Fall
lon he simply smothered that worthy,
hitting him where he wanted to. but not
hard enough to do any damage. There was
him off the stage if he desired. The crowd
laughed heartily at Fallon's grotesque eff
forts to do something of note, but it was a
vain attempt. The general opinion is that
McAulitfe can defeat kilrain, Corbett, Jack
son or any of the big follows, barring Sui
livan.
In the second and third rounds the Cali
fOrnian landed on FallOn's nose, drawing
the claret. Fallon tried time after time t0
rush through the Californian's guard, but
ignOminious failure attened each
effort. McAuliffe simply held him
at arms length, every now
and then hitting the Brooklynite on the ear
or cheek. People who had seen Fallon spar
with Jackson hoped to be able to make
comparison, but it was impossible. The
strong boy seemed to be afraid of the col
ored man, and kept away. He tried to
damage the Californian but was kept
away.
A chance to partially estimate McAuliffe's
strength was had in the last round. Fallon
slipped half way off the stage as he
fell back from left-hand whack and
McAuliffe jumped to the. rescue. With
one hand under the shoulder of the Brook
lyn man, who weighs about 1sO pounds, he

KEMMLER'S CASE
=
Brought Before the United States
Supreme Court.
Application for a Writ Of Error to Be
Argued This Month.
The Funeral of the Late Senator Beck 10 Be
Reld In the Senate Chamber.
Action Of Congress.
Special by the California Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Application for a
writ OF habeas corpus in the Kemmler case
was made to-day pursuant to the order of
Judge Wallace of New York directing that
he should make application Immediately.
Ise Supreme Court denied the application
ior writ of habeas corpus, but informed
MI Sherman that on the 10Th OF May it
would hear motion for writ of error in
tue case. Notice is to be given the At
torney- General of the State. This will per-
hlit the whole record to be brought here
and the case argued. The court follows
the precedent established in the Spies an
arehist case. As the court adjourns for the
term May 10Th, the decision denying or
granting the writ of error will be an
nounced almost Immediately.
Alter the argument the Chief Justice, in
denying the application for writ of habeas
corpus, said he did so inasmuch as the writ
had been granted by Judge Wallace. JUS
uce Blatchford then said that as MI Sher-
man mad applied to him in his chambers as
the Justice presiding over the Circuit Court
1or writ Of error to bring the case here for
review, he wonld suggest that Sherman
should make such application before the
full court, as was done in the anarchists
case. Should the application be denied, as
was done in the anarchist case, it ends the
matter; but should. it be granted, it simply

PATRONAGE,
Its Power Displayed In Now York
Early Days.

Its Power Displayed In New York In
Early Days.
In the early part Of the last century New
York was not only the most thoroughly
English city in the colonies, but the most
loyal to the crown. Her merchants were
Intimately connected with those of the trad
ing cities of the mother country. Many of
them were English born, or the sons of
Englishmen. The political divisions of
Great Britain had their counterparts in
America. There was keen rivalry for
posts of honor in the State. Feeling was
high and warm, and was sometimes
carried into social gatherings. The
most noted of these dissensions was
the well-known struggle between the
old Colonial party, headed by RIP Van
Dam, leader of the Dutch element, and
Colonel Lewis Morris, on the one side, and
Cosby, the Governor of tho province. The
occasions for its public display were the
city festivities on the coronation anniver-
sary in 1875, aud the birthday of the Prince
OF Wales the same month. The Governor
entertained his following at the Fort. which
was the residence; but the opposition. not
10 De outdone In loyalty, had celebration
OF their own. The scene of this festivlty,
which was an event Of moment in the his
tory OF the colony. and may indeed be con-
sidered as tho point of departure between
the partisaus of prerogatiye and the up
holders of popular rights, was the Black
Horse Tavern, which stood at the south
corner OF Garden and Smith streets (now

CIYILlZING AFRICA.
After the Slave Trade Comes the Deadl
Gin Traffic

After the Slave Trade Comes the Deadly
Gin Traffic.
With the stoppage of the slave trade the
gin traffic only received more power full
stimulus. To its propagation all the ener-
gies of the traders were devoted. For spirits
there was already huge demand, and it
was increasing out of all proportion to the
taste for better things. 1t required no ex-
ertion on the part of the merchants TO set
1t a-g0ing, and once started it grew and
spread of itself without any danger of its
stopping. The profits, too, were enormous
and certain, because the appetite for drink
had to be assuaged, no matter what the
price. Yet in all conscience the pleasures
of intoxication are not expensive in West
Africa. Over the doorway of hundreds of
traders houses might be hung the sign
board of Hogarth's picture, Drunk for
penny, dead drunk for twopence," only the
"clean straw for nothing would have to
be left out. With the traffic in useful arti-
cles it was entirely different. To push it
was slow and laborious task, and the
profits were uncertain, which did not suit
men who wanted to make money rapidly.
The result Of this state of matters is that
the diabolical work commenced by the
slave trade has been effectually carried on
and widened by that in spirits. for one
am inclined to believe that the latter is
producing greater-and what are likely to
be quite as lasting-evils than the former.
effect; it more effectually blights all the
natives energies, it ruins his constitution,
and, through the habits 1t gives rise to, his
lands are left as desolate as after slave
raid.
What are the most characteristic Euro
pean imports into West Africa? Gin, rum,
gunpowder and guns. What European
articles are most in demandP The same.
In what light do the natives look upon the
Europeansp Why, as makers and sellers of
spirits and guns. What largely supports
the Governmental achinery Of that region
Still the same articles.
The ships which trade to Africa are
loaded with gin out of all proportion to
more useful articles; the warehouses along
the coast are filed with it, The air seems
to reek with the vile stuff and every hut is
redolent of its fumes. Gin bottles and
boxes meet the eye at every step, and in
some places the wealth and importance of
the various villages are measured by the
size OF the pyramids OF empty gin bottles
which they erect to their own honor and
glory and the envy of poorer districts.
over large areas it is almost the sole cur
rency, and in many parts the years wages

given in lieu of wages to servants, who
speedily converted them into ready money
This abuse, taken together with the illicit
fratflc in letters, so openly and widely car
ried on. formed, of course, most impor-
tant argument in favor of the proposals for
cheap postage formulated by Rowland Hill,
and 40 doubt did much to damage the cause
OF his opponents. But there is one other
abuse to which Londonors were subject
which may just be mentioned. At that
time the twopenny post was in operation in
the English metropolis, and would have
fairly served the Inhabitants in postal mat
ters il it had not been for the practice
which existed of allowing commercial
houses and other firms who were willing to
pay for the privilege to have their letters
picked out from the general heap and de-
liyered by special postman, and so enable
them to get their correspondence an hour
earlier than those who did not pay the
''''quarterage," as it was termed, of shil-
nngs (per quarter), and which, it appears,
went into the pockets of the postmen con-
cerned. many of whom, we are told, and it
can easily be understood, thus made in

ever beneficial such system was to COM

most unfairly on ordinary Correspondents,

evils which the introduction of penny post
age swept away.-Chambers' Joucnal
