Spiritual manifestations have taken a
new departure in Maine. Some days
since, at circle" an ETHEREAL young
lady was married by justice Of the
peace to the spirit of her dead lover,
which indicated its assent by violent
rapping on the table. This is the only
marriage on record that originated in
heaven. The young lady, with an eye
to sublunary things, has brought suit to
recover the property of the dead man,
her spiritual husband. When the pro-
perty is obtained the fair maiden will
file petition for divorce in the high
court of chancery, on the grounds OF
abandonment and neglect of marital
duties.

merce BY the city? Does she still insist
on levying this outrageous taxi Other
river cities have reduced their wharfage
fifty per cent, and are indeed well salts
fed TO compromise at that figure for the
present, as it is only matter Of time
whether the steamers pay a cent for the

should the steamers be taxed for touch
ing at the city wharf any more than a
railroad which lands at your city with
hundreds Of cars daily2 Is this right, to
discriminate so unjustly against our

In reply, we would state that the
charge for wharfage in Memphis is en-
tirely too high, and should be reduced
Immediately. 1t is well enough to sup
port the city government, but not at the
expense Of our commerce To show
the injustice of our wharfage charges,
we have been informed that the James
Howard hull measurement is 1914 tons,
and her bill for wharfage at st. Louis, at
five cents per ton, was S65 70. Her
bill for wharfage at Memphis, for two

any other city, we are not informed and

COTTON.
The market closed heavy yesterday
with sales of 1900 bales at irregular
prices. To-day the market opened hat
and extremely. dull, in consequence o.
another decline Of &c in New York, and
I'd in Liverpool, and still later the New
York market declined to l4ac for mid
ding, with corresponding reduction
in the other grades. This depressing
news has unsettled the market to such
an extent that in some cases panic
feeling was manifested, and prices went
tottering down, and are now lower than
at any time during the season. In sew.
eral instances buyers are taking advan-
tage of the situation, and are filing up
as rapidly as possible, while others are
waiting for the market to go still
lower. Sales reported up to noon were
about 800 bales, including ordinary at
81 to 9ac, good ordinary at III to ll3c,
low middling at 10 to l3lc and middling
at l3l to l3bc.
The Secretary Of the Chamber of Com
meree, with his assistants, yesterday
counted the stock of cotton on hand, and
found it s2O7 bales in excess of the run
ming account OF the 1861 bales found,
1854 we're at the different presses and
4O,2l7 at the sheds. The discrepancy in
the running and actual account is attrib-
uted to an underestimate during the
month Of the receipts per wagon.

WORCESTER.
THURSDAY. MARCH 80. 1871.


The other day, dispatch informed our read
ers, that Mr., Jefferson Davis had delivered a
speech, at Selma, Alabama, but "made no
Rllusion to politics" This report, it seems, was
not entirely correct. Ever since he was released
from prison, this man has wandered about like
lost spirit seeking rest but finding none. Not
many persons supposed him capable of feeling
remorse for his crimes against the nation.
Therefore, his sad eountenance and manifest
unrest were attributed to chagrin and mortifca-
ton caused by his failure to destroy the rcpub-
lie. he seemed to have dropped political topics
altogether, for there has been no report Of his
mention of any political question. But, at
Selma, he did allude to politics; and news
paper published at that place says, this is the
sHrst time he has touched upon general political
questions" since the downfall of his "confeder-
acy" He spoke about ten minutes, and here is
q part of what he said:
Proceeding in an exultant tone, he declared
that state sovereignty, although defeated in the
late struggle, uiN ultimately triumph; its day
Of success might not come i'll his time, but he
would live and die in the belief that it would
surely triumph. He declared that no people on
earth had ever suffered as had the southern peo-
pie since the surrender of the southern armies,
and he loved them for the fortitude with which
they had borne the oppression heaped upon
them. He had dlacdyS been Milling TO giOe his
life for his people, and nolc, If any Yankee polceI
aodnted his blood to atone for any action Of III,
southern people, they could take it. On him th(
government had done its worst, and for himsel
he did not care, but for the sake of the people
whom he loved, he aCOuld forbedr to express more
fully the feelings Of his heart. He neUer hdC
asked pardon for lchdt he had done, and h
1eUer loould, for he felt that he had done nc
fCroRg."
'fIf any Yankee power wanted his blood"l
This is an insult to Mr.. Greeley's name on his
bail bond. But the potency of that name in
that place, was overrated by the too forgiving
believer in mercy without justice, who placed
it there. He may now learn, that this chief OF
traitors sees no mercy whatever in the treat.
ment he has received; on the contrary, "On
him [Davisl the government has done its
worst" In his own opinion, perhaps, it would
have been more merciful to hang the fellow
but be manifestly wishes TO perform as a
martyr, and would not object to martyrdom, if
be could live after it and enjoy the honors. As
1t is he can only wander about among the ku-
klux and profess willingness to "give his life
for his people" OF one thing he is very sure
and very proud. He glories in his treason. He
never has asked for pardon and never will ask
for it; for he "feels that he has done no wrong
Surely, the influence of philosophizing mercy
on this man, has not worked the wonders tina
were promised.

of contagion. They said, also, that they had no
clothing but such as they brought from their
homes more than year ago. The winter there
is very severe, and at last accounts the snow on
the west coast was three feet deep even on the
lowlands Some idea, therefore, can be formed
of their sutferings from cold, in an open prison,
without fires, and only scanty supply Of worn
out garments TO cover their shiVering bodies.
But the filthy condition and the foul atmosphere
OF the sty in which they are shut up can scarcely
they expect and are willing TO die for their re-
ligion. They only dread being shot, that mode
of execution alone having any special terrors for
them. II is not probable that they have much
knowledge o. revealed religion, but they look
upon martyrdom as the gate to a blissiul re-
ward hereafter.

AUSTRALIA AND Deceased WIFE's SIS
TERs."-With a persstcncy that is almost
comic when the cause is considered, the South
Australians uplft again and again the proud
banner bearing Deceased Wife's Sisters" on its
naughty folds. To descend to plain English
the colonial Englshman, once removed, wish to
marry the sisters of their deceased wives, and
have four times in twelve years passed q local
act to make such marriages legal; but the
mother couDtry-a very stern parent in this
matter, though very indulgent in everything
else-has four times disallowed the act. If
there is something odd in the perseverance of
the colonSts, there is also at first sight some
thing rather peculiar in the iron refusals Of
Downing street. For In what other wish do we
ever thwart our spoiled children across the
seas? We allow the Canadians to tax Our goods;
we allow the Red River rebels to hang British
subject. We never interfered when Victoria
made an ex-Irish rebel one of its ministers. We
allow Canada to enter into negotiations with
the Yankees We tolerated long ago the ex-
pulsions of our convicts from the Cape of Good
Hope We withdrew our troops from New Zea-
land at the first whisper of petulant little par
lament We grant to infant colonies self-gov-
eminent so soon as they can todde about alone.
We send them our princes from time TO time,
and the British taxpayer pays, in the estimates,
for gifts to please our fellow-citizens abroad.
We give them titles and honors as often as they
desire. We deny them no boon, no toy, no lib
erty. In fact, we have been so tolerant of all
outbursts of independence as a doting mother
is OF the bad temper of teething child. But it
would seem that there is one exception TO this
unbroken shower of "sweeties" We can not
give them their deceased wives sisters.-LondOn
