THE CROPS
In the Northwest.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The morning papers
publish reports from large number of
points in Illinois and Iowa in regard to the
present prospect of crops, from which it ap-
pears that the crops are generally backward,
particularly corn, on account of the cold
ness Of the spring, but large area is being
planted and with fine weather hencefOr-
ward the prospect for at least an average
yield is good. Wheat, particularly fall
wheat, is looking badly in many localities,
and in some counties they are blowing up
wheat fields and planting them in corn.
This, however, occurs in some more north
ern counties of Illinois every season. Oats
and other small grains are generally look
ing well, the former cereal promising an
abundant yield.

nees o. the Harrisburg Convention, and
take up new men. This he considers the
only chance the Republicans have of carry
ing the State as against the nominations
likely to be made by the Democrats and
Greeley men for State and local Offices.
Forney is of opinion that with the ring
candidates of the Harrisburg Con-
vention the State VIII be lost in October,
and probably in November. His informa-
ton from different parts and leading men
of the State is to the effect that in case the
ring candidates refuse to withdraw the peo-
pie will very generally vote for good men
on the Democratic or Liberal ticket,
scratching the bad men on the Republican
ticket. Ring men threaten that if Grant
does not turn in and help elect them in Oc-
tOber, they will defeat him in November.
The condition of affairs in Pennsylvania
does not look particularly bright for Grant
and his clique and their followers.
Greeley In New England.
One of the oldest Republican members of
the House from New England said to-day
that unless the Administration takes a diff
ferent turn than its leaders in the Senate
and House are now taking, there will be
more white hats throughout the country,
each one representing a Greeley voter,
than any one would suppose possible.
He says the fact need not be disguised
nor denied, that there is more enthusiasm
among the!people in the East in favor of
Greeley, and iless in favor Of Grant, than
the ofiee-holders in Washington know of,
and he says, If the people suppose that
Sumner has lost his strength in Massachu-
sets and New England, they know little of
what they say. He still adheres, however,
to the Grant standard, and will cast his
vote for the Philadelphia nominee, but he
deplores the course which the Administrs-
ton party has taken for many months past.

A HypOcrtte Neatly Exposed.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Gen. Frank j.
Heron, Marshal of Louisiana, is writing
vigorously on both sides Of the Grant and
Greeley question. Schofeld, chairman of
the New Orleans Committee, has received
letter from him, dated April %, in which
be says: stMatters are looking better, and
the party appears to be uniting. We will
hold a convention in a few days, and
send delegates to Philadelphia, instructed
for Grant, and the party viii be united"
Under the same date he wrote to Speer, of
Pennsylvania, Democratic member of the
same committee: ave have sent a good
delegation to Cincinnati, including Gov.
Wsrmoth. Hook for arrangements where
by we will elect our State ticket by 10000,
and viii give the same majority against
Grant In November" The discovery of
these letters came about by one of the
gentlemen remarking in the committee
room that Heron was for Greeley, when
the other produced his authority for the OPP
posite belief The object of both letters is
judged to be to soften both the majority
and minority reports toward Warmoth.
