The Four Per Cents Very Popular.
IRy telegram to The Tribune.


WASHINGTON, July 21.-The popular sub
scriptions to the four-per-cent. loan, whlch
began in February last, now aggregate
So, 100000. AS an evidence OF the popular
character Of the bonds, the Treasury of1clals
call attention to the large number OF regis
tered bonds OF the denominations OF 500 ana
500. The increased subscriptions of the
past few days, it is thought, indicate that
the people in general are beginning to real
ize the advantages Of this loan, and are thus
investing their surplus earnings. This is
also regarded as an important check to no.
tions OF reputation on the part OF the Dem.
ocratic party, as it increases the number OF
persons interested in maintaining the Invlo-
liability OF the public credit.
) In addition to the popular subscriptions,
the Syndicate has taken S76,000,OOO, which
makes S113, 100000 of'the total OF S700, 000,-
600 taken In about five months.
1t is also stated at the Treasury that the
securities OF the Government within the past
year have been returned in such numbers
that very few now remain abroad. Tife bal
ance Of trade in our favor has largely assisted
in this, and every year the amount OF gold
sent out of the country onjaccount OF the
interest on the public debt is growing less.
The Secretary OF the Treasury predicts that
next fall there will be witnessed revival OF
every industry and a long season OF pros
perity, the finances having reached health
full condition, and values the only true
standard-sold.

sion Of nature, whereby the equatorial line
has been made to pass right through the
centre OF Battletown. The clerk o. the
weather has mixed things terribly, making
it as hot in Virginia as in Minnesota, and
conlrariwise.
Notwithstanding the heat Of the weather
the political caldron is beginning to boil
also. Hunton, Ncale, Mennessee. Lee, and
others, are all spoken Of; but Hunton, at
the present writing, is in full lead. Barbour
is also willing to serve the dear people, but
he will doubtless share the fate OF James
Barbour, who ran against General Hunton
q few years ago. =. johnson Barbour will
continue to b. johnson Barbour, but does
not bid fair to be a member OF Congress-at

Rev. nr. IToge at u orrirteyn, New

Rev. DIR. ITO.e MT VI Orrtst0Ifn, iAeE
Jersey.
By On the 10th instant the new So tf1-Street
Presbyterian church sas dedicated OF Nor
ristown, New Jersey. .ierse IMAM mas Y.
the following reference to the part 10 the
ceremonies which was performed by our
distinguished townsfnan
The sermon was preached by ReS..Dr.
Hoge, OF Richmond. Va. IL was based on
Psalms XVI, 8: !" Lord, have ioVea tne
habitalion Of Thy house, and the place
where Thine honor dwelleth." He said n
great deal OF anxiety attended the opening
OF new church, for then its adaptation
to the purposes for which 1t was erected
was tested. In looking upon this house
this afternoon for the first time he per-
ceiyed with qualification how exactly the
interior finish correspondent with tue ex-
terror design. Listening with alert ear lie
had detected no echo, and he congratulated
the church that they had erected building
in which the gospel could be preached with
out suffering the irnpertinence OF intercept
ing columns or echoing arches. David IN
exile did not sigh for Jerusalem, the seat OF
his kingdom, neither did he utter any long
ings for the delights OF his palace; but 1t
was grief to him to be shut out from the
sanctuary. He envied even the swallows
who built their nests in the caves OF the tab
ernacle and reared their young there. His
heart was full OF love for the habitatlon OF
Gods house.
The pious heart loves the house of God
because God loves it; and God hath SAID,
ssThe Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath
desired it for his babitation. This Is my
rest forever; here will dwell; for have
desired it." 1t has pleased God to mani
fest himself in his house. In David's time
that Divine manifestation was by the
shekinah which appeared above the mercy
seat, between the cherubim, in the secret
sanctuary; but to-day we lcok upon the
glory of God as it appears in the race
OF Jesus Christ. The house OF COD Is
the place where worship is offered ana ac-
cepted. Prayer is heard and accepted IN
The sanctuary. II peculiar blessing comes
to any class in waiting on COO IN HIS nouse'
it is mourners He has promised to COM
fort those who mourn in Zion. Inc SWEEP
est predictions Of the word OF Goa nnd 1ul.
tilment in His house. The predlctlon OF
our Saviour, "And I, il I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto me-" Is
finding fultilmcnt there constantly. In
many circles the question is being discuss
ed, SIS the pulpit losing its power?" No
doubt many preachers are losing their
power, but the pulpit is not. No pulpit In
which it is the great business to lift up
Christ cruci6cd can be without power.
The above is a mere outline OF DR.. Hoge's
treatment Of his theme, and does not at
tempt to reproduce the wealth OF imagery
and illustration that enriched the discourse,
nor the tender and effective manner IN
which he spoke. Indeed, no report could
do that

Action Of The Norfolk CITY Executive
Committee.

TIE Executive Committee held their meet
ing last night, and resolved to hold prl-
mary election on the 18th OF August, at
which the candidates are to be voted for
directly. ;,
This plan will enable each voter to deposit
his ballot for the man whom lie prefers TO
represent him in Congress.
The committee, however, further pro-
vides that the candidate receiving the pt11-
rality Of votes in each ward shall name the
delegates the acard is entitled to. This is
mistake, in that it does injustice to those
who may happen TO receive Il minority vote.
We also object to the resolution which
authorizes aIrwho voted for Tilden in 1876
to vote at the primary, whether they have
paid their taxes or not. No man should be
allowed to vote at the primary who cannot
vote at the congressional election.
We hope the committee will consider these
suggestions, and take action in accordance
