New YORK, Aug. 2T.-The Evangelical
Convention, now being held at Cape May
yesterday discussed the subject Of Roman
ism, and adopted the following resolu-
| tions:
Resolved, that we do cordially approve
and will earnestly maintain as citizens OF
the United States the principle which sepa-
rates State from Church.
Resolved, that it is with profound regret
we have learned that pOliticO-eclesiastiea
organizations have been established in New
Jersey and other States, under the inspira-
tion and blessing Of the Pope, the men,
bers of which unions are bound 10 render
unreserved obedience to members made
officers in these examinations; that this
convention earnestly calls upon the friends
Of American institutions to exert all their
energy and influence in every legitimate
way to resist these aggressiOns and maintain
our free institutions intact.
Resolved, that believing in freedom Of
conscience and the right Of selfgovern-
ment, we call upon all patriots in the
country to resist by all lawful methods all
Efforts to change the present system Of pub
lie school education.
Resolved, that we earnestly solicit every
true friend of our country to use his influ-
enee in every proper way to prevent State
and municipal appropriations for sectarian
purposes.
The debate on the fourth resolution was
sharp and prolonged. An afternoon ses-
sion was held, at which DR.. Levin, Presby-
terian, Of Philadelphia, made a speech, in
which he asserted that Christian union
never could be brought about until all bar
riers between denominations were re-
moved. Episcopalians should welcome all
evangelical ministers 70 their pulpits, and
Baptists admit other churches to the Lords
table.
SEA GROVE, CAPE MAY POINT, Aug.
2T.-The Evangelical Convention reassem-
bled this afternoon. The question of
Christian unity again came up. After
a spirited discussion the following was
adopted:
Resolved, that we hail with deVout graft
tude TO God the fact that various eyangel
ical churches are more and more manifest
ing this precious doctrine of the oneness Of
all believers. We pray the Great Head Of
The Church to speed the day when each
evangelical church shall recognize the
varidity and Christian character Of the
certificates and sacraments Of
every other sister church.
After discussion on the temperance ques.
ton, resolutions favOring prohibition were
adopted. A committee was appointed to
call another convention at this place next
summer. Sacramental occasion will De
observed on next Sabbath, in which all de-
win participate.

sion in France. The Le M0nitetT says
France is open to all foreigners, but the
Government is entitled and bound to op-
pose all assemblageS, displays Of banners

Government and public opinion Of France

discussions and conflicts in Germany be-
tween church and State for the sake Of
peace, which is dear TO US and desirable to
Germans, to avoid making French terri
tory the scene Oftheir religious discussions.

Tho Prospects Of the Grain Crop.

Tho Prospects Of the Grain Crop.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 27.-During
the past few days and nights very heavy
rains have fallen Throughout this State.
These have come at the very end Of the
harvesting season and should have found
farmers fully prepared for them. No more
favorable weather for securing grain crops
could be wished for up to Monday, and il
is an absolute fact that the bulk of the
finest crops of wheat, barley and cats ever
raised in any State, has been secured in
good condition. 1t appears, however,
from recent reports from a large
number Of points, that considerable
grain still remains in the shock, not having
been stacked, but awaiting the speedy ad-
vent Of threshing machines. The late rains
have done much mischief TO grain in this
condition. There was another pour this
afternoon and evening, but even to grain in
the shock and not in the stack, the damage
so far, if the skies are clear tomorrow, can
not be large, not more than per cent. on
the entire crop. A very large acreage OF
corn was planted this year in this State.
Prospects are very poor, rs the weather has
been uniformly and remains too cool f'r
the Tipening of the plant.

insOlence. The demands which he has
made for compensation for the murder of
Maragary has been thWarted and treated

LONDON, Aug. 2T.-The Foreign Office

plicatiOns with the Chinese Government
are exaggerated. The English Minister to
China has complained of a difficulty having
arisen with that Government, but though
embarrassing, it is not alarming, and it is

The Recent Large Failure In thesugar
and Coffee Trade.

and GOnee trade.
NEW YORK, Aug. ga special from
Baltimore states that the firm Of Sterlins,
Ahren & Co., which suspended yesterday,
have imported since the lst Of January
$1,000 hogsheads of sugar and 10000 hogs
heads Of mCllsses, nearly twO-thirds as
much as their whole trade Of 1874. They
have been cirrying great quantities Of mo-
lasses at a heavy loss ever since the COM
mencement Of the year, the market price
not paying for the manufacture. The
principal Baltimore creditors are AleXan-
der Brown Il Sons, bankers, and Barringer
Brothers, shippers. The Browns are cred
itors to the amount Of about 100000.
That firm suspended the first Of January,
and it was their refusal to
make a further loan Of S1jO,OOO that
precipititated the suspension. Besides
their import trade, Sterling, AhTens * Co.
have largely exported -four and provisions
to the West Indies, and are consequently
in debt to tfe -four trade and packers.
The firm own the Chesapeake and Mer-
chants refneries, lease the Maryland and
operate the Calvert for its owners. All
except the latter they converted into mo
lasses refueries and so accumulated a
heavy stock that broke them down. They
also own a large barrel factory and nine
vessels engaged in trade with Cuba and
Brazil. Their coffee business has not been
great of te, and has not affected their in
terests.
The Sugar Refinery Company.
At meeting Of creditors of the Calvert
Sugar Refining Company, the following

pend payment temporarily, and a commit
tee, appointed 70 furnish an authentic
