At 8 o'clock Dr, Duryea held the confer- ence of ministers and christians at the hall in the grove. The subject of this morning was *“The Atonement.” He would not, he said, attempt to tell what the atonement is, but only what it is not. The bible does not explain the atonement; consequently 1o wan can explain it. In this country we got our ideas of the atonement from Milton rather than from the bible. Milton's view of it is wholly wrong. The atonement is un expros slon of God's love for wen, and pot an cx pression of his wrath as Milton would have us believe The seriptures do not attempt to evplain the atonement. - They only toll us its effect. That it makes peace botween God and men. Atbo'clock Rev.

DISAPPOINTED IN CLEVELAND. His Niggardly and Parsimonious Policy Finds Little Favor With the Open-Handed Sons of the Old Dominion. Will Vote For Harrlson. WasniNorox, July 7.—[Special to Tie Ber,]—As an evidence of political feeling among the young men of Virginia I give the following conversation with a gentleman who was born in Virginia and has lived there all his lifo: “I have always been a demo crat," said he, “‘but I have found it hard to maintain my allegience to that party during the last few years, and T cannot vote the democratic ticket this fall, but shall vote for and do all I can for the election of Harrison. Still, T am not ready to say that I am a re publican. Tama republtcan on the tariff issue, and I believe the republican party re- flects my opinion on every issue except one— ani that is its treatment of the south. And 1 believe that fault is more with a few leaders than with the party itself. The republican party, to my mind, is tho great Awmcrican party, and I am an American, 1 believe that James G. Blaine is the greatest American living, and that his policy, it he were presi dent, would do more to build up America than anything else. 1 believe the liberal policy of the republican party in appropria- tious is right, and the niggerdly policy of the democratic party = wrong. 1 believe that the country has stood still under the four years of demo. cratic administration, and that'if its present policy should be continucd another four years it would retrogade. I believe that the Uemocratic position on’ the tariff is wrong, and if carried out would prove ruinous to the country. I believe General Harrison is a pure and able man, whose past record is un- assailable, and that 1f elocted he would carry out the principles laid down in the Chicago platform, every proposition of which 1 ap prove. Iernce I shall vote for him this fall committoe will probably make reports half of the pevsion bills “introduced in body. pon that Some transactions have been going on in the treasury department effecting the draw back on sugar which is likely to bring about a congressional_investigation and scandalize some. officors. The drawback on sugar is greatly in excoss of the duty originally - paid on the raw material, and a subsidy is and hias beon given to the sugar refiners for some ars, and in October, 1885, a petition num crously signed by promiuent merchants in New York was sent to tho secrctary of the troasury, asking that the same bo reduced to its legitimate rate, There was exported in January, 1835, 2,036 tons, which rapidly rose after Mr. Cleveland mo into office to 24,157 tons in June, The draw was 2.82 cents per pound, to the exact calculations there oug only to be 240 conts per pound U pon pressure being brought on Secro Fairchild he finally issued an order on_Sep tember 23, 1587, reducing the rate of d back to 82.60 per pound, less tho logal reten tion of one per centum, stating at the samo the above rate was provisional, pending further inquiries as_to what more reduction may be necessary. Nothing further has been heard from the secretary on this subject; at least he has not seen fit to reduce it to its proper point. This shows that the sugar refiners receive still a vounty of twenty-hundredth conts per pound. 1t would be dosirable for the benetit of the sugar pro ducing industry of the United States if all bounties were ubolished, and if the govern ment would join in the negotiations which are now going on abroad to accomplish this < at present the European coun s always end all negotiations by the com plaint that the United States still continues to give its bounty, American granulated sugar is sold in London at 20 per cent less than the American price, which shows that there isa bounty paid on sueur. If this sugar could be imported on the payment only of the ordinary import duty it would undersell straight sugar 50 conts per hundred pounds. .

I firmly believe Virginia will cast its vote for the republican party.” Some of the senators, and they are not coutined to republicans by any means, are becoming just about as iudignant over the wholesale” veto system of the president, cspecially us the vetoes relate to pension bills, A member of the senate committec on pensions, in talking about the matter to-day snid: “It1s a burning shame and n serious reflection. The ehairman of the senate com- mittec on pensions, Mr. Davis, of Minnesota, is one of the ablest lawyers in the entire country, He has for many years conducted much of the important leral business not only i Minneapolis and St.Paul, but_in all scetions of the country before the supreme ile 'is o profound jurist most convineing advocates 1o the United tes at Senator Davis has, on occasions, goue 1nto the de- s which come before his cxamined into the mi sy laid before the committe ion oftice, the oftice of the ad aland the secretary of war.

The senate hi promptly passcd these bills, and when they went to the house th committee on invalid pensions has called fc the testimony from the seuate committen, and after going over the cases again has adopted Senator Davis' reports in- some in stances, while i others the member sof that committes—in most instunces able and woll kuo rs—have written out new re ports. in which new points in favor of the claimants have been discovered and made prowin made 1o the house, where tue bills have passed. Then_the mcasures hay >ty the president. Now comes the insolent and dospicable pnase of this veto businoess. Al of these cases have wone throush the pension ofies, wi they were rejected on the presumable round that there was no law under which the 1sions could be aliowed, and they have gone sole 1 that spocial President Cleveland se bills, has refe a t nsion oM The commission s, in tuen, bas turned them over to very clerks ) the tirst instance re- 1 them.

Yet, with a nonchalance that is deplorable, these clerks take up these cases, repudiate the work of these able lawyers in congress, and write out vetoes for the president, which vetoes go to congress in tho very words dictated. 1 do mot so wuCh blame the clerks as 1do the president, for they are put on their and mauy of them feel that 1t is necessary for thew to \S0n ots toer o ey of 5 o confirm their worl in the first “instanco to permit_congress, the hizh islutive body in the countr How u per sion over their heads, N do the: inte and undo the work of these sougress, but the work of , and infc congre te that cc it is dishon v sarcasm and in rsonal kno: t President nd has not writ, yeur, 1 lu 088 us u bod veto messa does not know at dozen of two hun d pension vetocs that ho Las sent to cong They were all prepared at the sion oftl and 1 know somw the men who wrote them. veral of them were prepared by incmbers of the board of peusion appeals. It is enough to make & man break every commandment in holy wnt to refiect upon this procecdure, In nearly all of the vetoes are innuendoes, in sinuations and reflections upon the integrity of the senators and represontatives who passed upon the bills in connection with the character of testimony presented. In fine, these vetoes insinuate broadly that the scn ators were moved 1n thewr work by political motives and that their action is basod upon dishonesty. The wholo veto system in rela tion to pensions is the simple addition of insult to lnjury, not _only to the claimants but the men who have passed the bills.” Ihere have been reported from the senate committge on pensions about seven huudred bills which ‘were originally introduced' in the senate during the present session. - The louse committee has probably reported twice as wauy.
