LONDON, July Sit is said the gov.
eminent has information that the Rus
slams intend to occupy Constantinople
at all risks, unless the Turks anticipate
that event by making peace on the czar's
terms, The effect OF this and other in.
telligence as to the Russian intentions,
has been to modify very considerably the
view taken Of the crisis by certain mem.
bers Of the cabinet. The practical out.
line will probably be that the more on
ergetic members should feel bound to
adopt an active policy. They will no
longer be opposed by those Of their col.
leagues who have hitherto been disposed
to caution. II is reported that a power'
ful reinforcement is to be sent to the
squadron in Bssika Bay. The sultan

TO Lsyard, the British representative,

Governor POrter's New Regulations
About PardODH.

Governor Porter has adopted the fol-
lowing rules and regulations Tor pardon
applications:
l. The application must in all cases
be in writing, verified by atidavits, stating
specially the merits OF the case, and the
reason why the convict should be par
doned.
2. Written notices OF the application
must be given TO the district attorney
general, and a copy of same forwarded
to this office.
3. Ii the evidence on the final trial
was reduced to writing, it must accom-
pahy the petition, as we'll as certified
copy Of the indictment and judgment o!
conviction.
4 While every citizen will be respect.
fully and patiently heard in any verbal
statement of the merits or dement's Of
any pending application for pardon, yet
no representation of facts for appeals
for clemency will have any influence for
or against the application, nor will they
be considered or weighed until reduced
to writing and signed by the party max
ing them. Section 1858 of the code pro-
vides: He (the governor) shall cause
to be entered on q book, kept for that
purpose, his reasons for granting pardon
or committing punishment, and preserve
on file all documents on which he acted,
and submit the same to the general as.
sembly when called on" This provision
cannot be fully met by any other course
5. When the evidence upon which the
| prisoner was convicted is not furnished,
the papers will be referred to the attor.
ney general OF the district in which the
applicant was convicted before any iusl
action is taken.
6. Such other terms aud conditions
will beimposed as each case may appear
to merit.
I. The p~ardoning power having been
in no respect abridged, qualified or
changed by the lease on the State prison,
the lessees have TO voice in any applica-
ton tor pardon, and they have not been
in the past, and will not in the future, be
consulted in any case. Nor will the
wish, or interest Of the ~lessees control,
in the least degree, any application for
pardon. The prisoners conduct (which
will always be considered) is recorded
by the warden and furnished officially to
this Office upon application.
These rules will be adhered to rigidly,
and all parties are admonished that the
merits of each case, as disclosed BY
properly authenticated documents, will
control it's fate. Therefore. the employ
ment Of agents or attorneys to prosecute
pardon applications will avail nothing.

bridge I'm Cashmere.

The bridge over the Jhelum is not two
hundred yards from the Fort of 0orje,
though considerably lower, and is not
more than from thirty to forty yards
long The two peiees are ofequal elevA.
ton THAT is to say, from the water, and
are constructed Of wood and unhewn
stone. The bridge itself, is entirely
made Of twigs, and the bushes which are
despoiled for this material grow close to
the banks Of the river. These twigs are
twisted into ropes Of sn inch and q half
long, two inches in diameter, and three
or four Of these twig ropes form each OF
the sides Of the bridge. The flooring of
the construction is of twigs formed into
ropes, and placed lengthwise from pier
to pier, across the gulf. The width OF
this footway is about six inches, just
enough for a passenger to walk across,
putting one foot before the other. The
side twig ropes are about three feet high.
Short ropes join the sides TO that part OF
the bridge where the passenger walks
across; but these twigs are two and three
feet apart, aud the trembling wayfarer
has plenty Of opportunity to gaze at his
%leizure on the roaring ao,d q few yards
only beneath his feet, dashing madly onl
However, there are many worse bridges
Of the kind; aud the one below Khoksur,
in Lshoul, is twice as long and twice as
frightful, The longer the bridge is, the
more sickeDing is the swinging TO and

intending vast congregations should
now be proved to be in the habit Of
asking wives and maidens questions
Of the most prurient description,
even this is not the most yenomous
point of the Manual; but it is the
questions prescribed to be put to
young children - questions that
could hardly be put to them with
ont stimulating p%rocOcious passions,
and some of which are not unlikely
to suggest nameless vices. The
Standard says that it got hold Of a
copy, not long ago, and meant to
write about it, but found the ex-
pressions too bad, even when put in
a foreign language, for insertion.
The Echo says it is "worse in a
greater degree than any tract for
which Mrs. Besaut, Mr.. Bradlaugh
and Mr.. Truelove are to- be called
upon to answer before a jury
Several of the papers demand that
the Society for the Preve. zion of
Vice shall now show that it is no
respector of persons. This Society
is prosecuting Mr.. Trueloye for
selling a work by Robert Dale Owen,
advising people how they may keep
from having children; aud as Mr..
Trueloye is the regular dealer in
free thinking literature, it is be-
lieyed by many that his chief Of
tense is the heresy of his general IL
brary rather than the immortality of
one. Such doubts must now be
either confirmed or dispelled by the
action of the Society where emf
nent clergymen are involved. But
whatever may befall the book, no
bishop will ever dare to license one
of these clergymen for any new Of.
fee, and it will be regarded as a
social disgrace for a young lady to
their churches. All who go
near them will be suspected of such
secret conversations as the book
reeks with. The injury which
threatens their congregations in
one way may be compensated in
the end by their awakening from
the ritualistic spell. The disaster
to Ritualism is literally awful.

mercial.l
A torpedo has exploded beneath
the High Church. By the cry Of
persecution Puseyism grew strong;
by martyrdom for conscience sake
Ritualism rose strong on the same
foundation. But what ruin neither
storm nor food could bring has
been brought about by their own
lapse into moral idiocy. l can not
express to your readers the disgust
aud horror which have been every
where caused by the discovery of
the Manual used by these clergy
men. The Earl of Redesdale read
extracts from this book, "The
Priest II Absolution," which the
papers generally have declined to
report, so utterly obscene and dis
gushing were they. This book is
issued by the Society of the Holy
Cross"
OF this society the Rev. Mr.. Mac
konochie is a Master" and among
the "Vicars' and Brethren" Of the
same are nearly all the Ritualist
leaders--Tooth Littledale, Courte-
nay, Lowder, Stanton, Mill, Muir
ray, Bristow, Nicholson, Hntchings,
Shipley, Field and Pixell. If the
worst enemy Of their movement had
possessed such carte blanche to deal
with them as Satan hadagainst Job,
he could not so ingeniously have
collected together for moral ruin
such u number of its representative
men. The compiler of the book
says it was undertaken at the re,
quest of the Masters, Wears and
Brethren of the Society of the Holy

R-ememberea Ktndness.

The Raleigh On. c. News Of
June 20 tells the following crafty
ing story SIN one of the holly
contested fights in Virginia, during
the war, a Federal officer fell
wounded in front of the ConGeder-
ate breastworks. While lying there
wounded and crying piteously for
water, a Confederate soldier James
Moore, Of Burke county, N. o. de-
clared his intention Of supplying
him with drink. The bullets were
flying thick. from both sides, and
MOOre's friends endeavored to dis.
suade him from such a hazardous
enterprise. Despite remonstrance
and danger, however, Moore leaped
the breastwork, canteen in hand,
reached his wounded enemy, and
gave him drink. The Federal, uu-
der a sense of gratitude for the
timely service, took out his gold
watch and offered it to his benefac-
tor, but it was refused. The officer
then asked the name of the man
who had braved such danger to sue
cor him the name was given, and
Moore returned unhurt to his posi-
ton behind the embankment. They
saw nothing more Of each other.
Moore was subsequently wounded,
and lost a limb in one of the EN-.
gagementS in Virginia, and return.
ed to his home insBurke county. A
few days ago he received a commu.
nication from the Federal soldier to
whom he had given the cup of cold
water on the occasion alluded to.
announcing that he had settled on
him the sum of $4,000, to be paid
in four equal annual installments
of $4,000 each. Investigation ha:
established the fact that there is NO
mistake or deception in the matter.

TIE ACCIDENT SATURDAY.

Our last issue of Saturday gave
an account of an accident which
occurred that day about noon, at
the crossing of the street-car line
on Vance street and the Memphis
and Charleston railroad. 1t hap
pened for once that the street car
was empty, or a more frigntful re-
suit might have been reported. Asst
was, the driver, an excellent citizen,
with a family dependant on him for
support, was terribly injured, and
his life to-day hangs by a thread.
Had the car been full Of women
and children the consequences
would have been too terrible to
imagine. AS it is, a poor worthy
man lies at the point of death, gasp
ing in the midst of his stricken
family, and the community labors
under an oppressive dread of future
accidents at the same place. Aud
this, too, at a time when a beaati-
full and attractive park has Just been
opened which can only be reached
by the majority Of the people by
way Of the Vance street cars and
the fatal crossing. There are too
many precious lives involved to let
this matter go by without due pre-
cautions. Several narrow escapes
have been made at the same place
recently. Only a few nights ago a
car coming in from Estiyal Park.
filed with people-mostly women
and children-made a very narrow
escape. The driver lost his presence
of mind as he approached the
crossing and would have driven
his mule on the track just
ahead Of the engine but for two
or three gentlemen standing by
him, who eaught the lines and
averted what would inevitably have
been a fatal calamity. If this
place is within the incorporation
line, and we believe it is, the gene
raj council should at once pass an
ordinance requiring all trains and
street cars to come to a dead halt
before crossing the dead-line. 1t
has also been suggested that a flag
man should be stationed there to.
give warning each way. We do
not pretend to say who was to
blame, or whether any one was, but
in view of the value of human life
and the number Of our people in
terested in the new and beautiful
retreat reached by this line Of street
cars, measures should be taken at
once to give positive assurance of
safety for the future. Until this is
done no man will feel easy dur
ing the absence of any member Of
MS iamilyin that direction.
