BISHOP & Co, CINcINNATI- The
leading and we suppose by far the lar
gest,. grocery house, of Ciacinnah, is
that of Bishop & Co. There is certainly
no house so extensively known and
patronized in this section. They import
many of their goods. and buy direct
from manufacturers, and in such large
quantities, as to enable them to sell all
kinds of groceries at as low figures as any
house in the United States Every
dealer who has ever patronized them is
prepared to endorse there reliability and
fair dealing. They give their customers
every advantage of the market whether
present in person or not. This is the
right kind of a house; and herein may
be found the secret to its great success.

vyco,t,ey and Crop reports.

One of the most stupendous projects oi
the age is that proposed by Commodore
Maury of a system of international crop
and weather reports. The proposition has
been received with favor both IN this
country and in Europe. The Scottish
MeterologicaliSociety, whose Secretary
Alexander Buchan, is the most renowned
meteorologist in Great Britain, has signi-
fed its readiness to act in the matter
lust so soon as the Government at W ash
ington ia kes the lead Holland, Belgium
France Rome, Russia, and some others
are ready to engage at once in the task. a
great number Of the Southern States have
by resolution instructed their representa-"
tives in Congress to go for the Confer
ence, while many of the leading journals
Of the North are urgent in recommend
ing its adoption at once by the Govern
ment.
This plan Of Commodore Maury, as
our readers are already aware, proposes
to collect statistics in regard to the grow
ing crops, and to forecast the weather BY
a series of meteorological observations
throughout the world. Every move
ment, says Commodore Maury, III his
address before the National Congress,
that takes place in the atmosphere, from
the zephyr to e'tornado, is tracesble to
the sun He it is that pumps up from
The sea the water for your mighty Mis-
eissippi river, transports it through the

The South at Baltimore.

The singular favor with which south
ern Democrats have received the Cincin-
natl ticket has suggested to certain cas-
tern Democrats the brilliant idea that
the South had better stand aloof and
silent in the discussion of the presden
tial question and leave the Northern
Democracy to settle the whole business.
This is very pretty and plausible plead
ing; but it has the fatal flaw of being
in the interest of Grant. Such argu-
ments for Southern silence in Democratic
consultations possessed much merit a
year or two ago, when Democratic can
didates were to be nominated and support
ed; and Southern Democrats then readi-
ly admitted their force. But it is the high
and rare merit of the Cincinnati tick ct
that 1t has given to the procribed South
perfect freedom of expression aud action
in this presidential controversy Any
man at the South, even though he may
have been a steadlast and unfaltering
adherent of the confederate cause from
beginning to end, can only declare for
Horace Greeley. without impairing Mr.
Greeley's strength at the North and
the great body Of the Southern Democrats
may, as they actually do, espouse the
cause of Greeley and Brown, without
exasperating Northern men into oppo
sition to Greeley and Brown. The
North sees and admits that people who
cheerfully and voluntarily support
man like Greeley. are no longer enemies.
either to the Union or to any settle
ments of of war; and it admits, too, that
such hearty pledge of good feeling and
patriotic design from the South deserves
to be met with frank, fraternal feeling.
There is. then, no reason for silence at
the South on this question.
