WASHINGTON, July 1e.-The popular
subscriptions to the 4 per cent. loan con-
cluded to-day far exceeded the expecta-
ton of the Treasury officials. A sh7rt
time ago the Secretary did not anticipate
that they would exceed $25, ,000, 600, but
at the close Of business to-day they foot
ed up $6S, ,000, 900, of which $63, ,000, 900
were through the Syndicate and $5,000,-
600 through the Treasurer of thee United
States and Assistant Treasurers-with
New York, Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Chi
cago, Cincinnati and New Orleans yet to
hear from, which will swell the amount,
1t is believed, to over S70, ,000, 900. There
was a subscription from Washington to-
day of $400, 900, and one from New Or
leans of 100000. Much difficulty has
been experienced by parties desiring to
subscribe to the loan to-day from the
scarcity Of gold. Many who came with
greenbacks were compelled to 60 away
without subscribing, not being able to get
the 2 per cent. in coin required as a de-
posit on their subscriptions.

A fearful tornado, accompanied win
hail as large as hens eggs, swept over
Montague township, Sussex county, New
jersey, yesterday afternoon. Buildings
were unrofed, trees uprooted, and craps
ana vegetation completely destroyed. The
storm lasted nearly an eour, doing untold
damage in that section. The storm struck
the town from the west, and went in a
southeasterly direction. 1t was some

CRIME SHOULD BE CHEcKED.-The
horrid crimes that are committed from
day to day throughout the United States,
mostly North, have their origin in some
hidden cause, not easily and truthfully
traced to certain conclusions. But 1t is
fair to inquire whether 1t is not to the
mockish sympathy for criminals that the
would-be humanitarians and selfexalted
people Of the Eastern and Middle States
have so indnstriously endeavored to
spread over the country; that humani-
tarianism which charge the crime upon
society. and, overlooking the victim. evin-
ced q feeling of pretended kindness for
the criminal. When crime was held in
proper detestation and swift punishment
was meted out there were fewer instances
Of the terrible breaches of the law than
now. And these offenses become less
numerous in the sections of country
where their commission has been sure to
bring the culprit to the gallows with the
shortest possible time for repentance.
There is no system so kind to the
Viciously inclined as that which prevents
the commission of crime. That kindness
which promotes the hope for forgiveness
and leads to evil deeds is destructive of
virtue. Man and woman need restraint
they require it and all the past proves
that levity leads to license and licentious-
ness; and great crimes are but the ripen-
ing fruits Of the repetition Of small Of
enses, from which the guilty escaped the
proper and due punishment.
AS the klndest man is he who prevents
the preparation of crime, so is the sys-
tenn that prevents it kinder than that sys-
tenn that encourages it even in the least.
Hewho sees fellow man about to com
init bad deed and rushes forward to
apply the restraint is friend as compar-
ed 10 that other who halts and waits to
witness the deed and then commiserates
the offender nor is he so good a friend
to society, although he rnshes off to &C
cuse the criminal, las the man who rescues
his neighborhood from the shock of crime
and the disgrace which it is sure to leave.
SO make the law terrible and enforce it
with mercy for the guiltless--that they
may be deferred from crime because of the
horrors that crime brings to the criminal.
The compassion evinced for the tramp
has resulted in no good but on the
contrary in the minds of many who for
merly gave largely of their funds to his
relief, tended to aggravate the evil by en-
couraging others to take to the road, un-
til the whole country is now in terror OF
the thousands civilians who swarm upon
the rural sections, and no farm house is
safe, either day or night, without the pro-
tectlng care of some stalwart man armed
totheteeth and ready to defend himself
and family to the death. Now, in Della.
ware the dreaded and much abused
Whipping Post and Fillory is of moi
value than gold. If we would make it
better still we have but to change our
laws and apply the lash twice or thrice
for the same offense, shortening the
serms OF imprisonment, and thus rid our
people of tax to feed and keep the viii
lainous scoundrels who fill our jails.

Only year or two ago the war was for

But Ben Wade row says all the blood

what Wade wants, and himself to be the
