ceediDg $1,000. and imprisoned not ex-'

There are other and incidental penal
ties attending violation Of the law which
those who advise its evasion had better
examine, or ask lawyer to examine for
them.
Such will be found the certain, con-
dign and effectual punishments" already
provided by law. President Grant did
not enact them. Were he even a vindic-
tive man he would find in fines OF five
hundred to five thousand dollars, in i'm
prisonment from one year to five years, an
effectual satisfaction Of any enmities.
That he has no such animosities has been
shown by his message of amnesty, and by
renting terms of Ku.Klux imprison-
ment. But if the President were that ter
rible tyrant, if he possessed the preroga-
tive to impose the "cruel and unusual
punishment" which the anti-Repubican
press intimate, what apology can there be
for those Southern Democrats who upon
the notice asserted by Mr.. Lord left the
House, and neither opened their mouths
in debate nor upon the vote? 1t is per-
haps unnecessary to caution these ultra
Southern bloods that the laws of the
United States are not to be trifed with.
The ridicule with which the anti-Repub-
lican press treated the arrest of Messrs.
Henderson and others, upon charge Of
revenue robbery, contrasted very sadly
with the sentences Of these convicts.
Any encouragement to incur the "certain
condign' and efectual punishment which
Democratic Congress has denounced
against those who violate the fifteenth
amendment, and which they have COM
mitted to President Grant with instruc-
tons to employ the whole force of the
government to enforce, may be produc-
tive of serious consequences to those who
violate the law.

The London Times comments az fol-
lows upon d scheme Of the American en-
gineer, Mr.. spalding, to ill the basin ot
the Caspian sea from the Black Sea
We published yesterday an engineer
ing scheme which for grandioseness Of
conception must be allowed to transcend
All that has been produced in this age Of
scientific achievement. Mr.. Spalding,
an American, proposes to reverse riatu-
raj process which has been in action for
thousands Of years, and, in bis opinion,
has produced the present distribution Of
the human race ID Europe. Itiaaquea-
ton Of nothing less than turning the
waters Of the Black Sea into the Caspian,
and filling that great inland basin to the
depth which it obtained at remote period
/ in the age Of the globe.
The lowest parts Of this basin are &C.
cupied BY the Caspian Sea, which re-
ceiyes, beside smaller tributaries, the two
great rivers, Ural and Volga, which
drain large proportion Of the central
regions Of the Russian empire. These
rivers have for ages deposited iii the Cas-
plan the soil 81 the regions drained by
them. The dimensions Of the Sea have
consequently become contracted, and the
bottom Of what remains Of it has been
raised until very largs areas are becOm.
ing unnayigaBle. by reason, also, Of the
diminutiou Of The water space available
for evaporation, the surrounding regions
are becoming sterile wastes, and CONF

approach of civilization.
The only means Of arresting this inn

tie Caspian its ancient body of waters,
aud consequently its ancient depth and
area. This ii to bc done by cutting a

WAIT WHITMAN

The man is capable Of poetry, and all
ways ought to have written it, Thebest
chat he has done has been to set down,
III The toughest condition, the raw mate
rial. Other men have done the same
thing better, and never dreamed that
they were writing Songs" Even a
chant has to be rhythmieally sung, or
it can not be sung at all. The materials
in d butchers stall and greensgrooer's
shop contain the possibilities and poten-
cies Of j dinner, but we do not see any
poetry in them until they are cooked and
served to men and women dressed be-
comingly, and come and go upon the
table in rhythmical courses, yielding
finest nutriment and goodliest favors.
There Is no melody without rhythm, and
song must BE- melodious. Emerson
says that & meter begins with pulse-beat, "
and quotes Victor Hugo as saying: " An

iron becomes steel" Here Il d distinc-
tion, certainly, between prose and verse.

Perhaps one Of the most significant
facts concerning the women Of the Bible,
il that they were not debarred from the
prophetic Office. Women as well as
men were seized with the gift, says
Stanley, and he instances 7 Miriam, Deb
orah, Huldah, Anna, and the four daugh-
ters Of Philip" Miriam seems to have
been inspired BY the FIRST breath Of free
dom which she drew upon the shores Of
the Red Sea, whilst Deborah burst forth
in her jubilanr song after the victory
had been gained over the oppressors Of
her people. we read also Of prophet
eases at later date. Huldah, who lived
within the college Of Jerusalem, and To
whom King Hilkiah and the high priest
himself repaired when they sought coun-
sci upon weighty matters. There Il
mention made also in the Old Testament
Of false prophecies as well as false
prophets; for Ezekiel, in denouncing the
false prophets who deceived the people
by lying words, says: Thou son of man,
set thy face against Che daughters Of
Thy people, which prophesy out Of their
own heart Ezekiel, xiii. l7). Another
popularity oF the women Of the Bible
ID, that neither prophetesses, teachers.
nor heroines were severed from the opdi-
nary domestic ties Of life. Deborah was
tile wife of Lapedoth; Judith was the
widow of Manassas, whom she had
meurned for three years; Hannah was
the devoted mother of Samuel; Ruth,
tie loving daughter-in-law of Naomi;
ana the Maccabean woman il only known

This is the second response OF the kind

declares his refusal to Be the result of an

that the subject was discussed at the last
