Mr.. Benjamin H. Latrobe, the we'll
known civil engineer, died at his residence,
in Baltimore city, on the 10Th inst, in the
72d year of his age. He studied law and
passed the bar, but his tastes pointing to en-
cheering he entered the service of the Bal,
timore and Ohio Railroad, as rodman, and
advanced step by step, until he reached the
highest place in his department in the COM
pany. The viaduct near the Relay House,
was designed by him, and he was connected
with many other great engineering efforts of
the last quarter of century. He made
friends wherever he was known, and leaves
behnd him not single enemy.

The Canned Goods Export Trade.

The New York Commercial Adyertiser calls
attention to the fact that the export trade in
canned goods is largely on tho increase, and
although considered by exporters as being
merely in its infancy, has assumed n magni-
tude that brings it within range of one of the
most impol tant industries of the country
The yearly aggregate of the export trade of
these goods ranges from 100000 to 100000
cases, average 60 pounds each, in one, two
and three-pound cans, making total export
of about 81 600 900 pounds, and valued at not
less than a million and quar,er of dollars
Large cargoes of these goods are shipped to
Great Britain, France, Germany Austria, 1t.
ally, Turkey, Russia Norway, Sweden, and
even to Egypt, and the trade is constantly on
the increase. The trade in canned salmon,
which are packed in California and Oregon,
is becoming an important one; 400 900 cases,
containing each an average of four dozen
one-pound cans. were packed last year, and
found ready market in the Catholic coun-
tries of Southern Europe, and this year there
is prospect for large increase in the amount
packed. Canned Holsters, which are packed
largely in Maine and the British provinces,
find ready purchasers for consumption in
Great Britain, France and Germany. Can
ned oysters are also in large demand, and are
mostly packed in Baltimore, being shipped to
other countries from this port and New York.
The aggregate of these shipments is very
large and constantly increasing. Canned meats
already have very large demand, especially
for canned beef, which is packed on large
scale by number of Chicago houses, one of
which has drawn through New York bankers
as much as $50, 900 in gold per week on bills
of lading against shipments from that port
Canned fruits and vegetables now engross
great attention. The kinds packed are varied,
but the largest supply is in tomatoes, of which
from 100000 to 100000 cases are packed
every year. These are in great demand now
abroad, having become much liked, but can
ned corn is as yet very little used in foreign
countries. Canned apples arc also In ready
demand, and have large foreign sale in cans
ranging from three pounds each to one gal
Ion. One of the causes of their popularity is
the fact that the canned fruit can be supplied
in England cheaper than the green fruit, al
though feature of last Saturdays shipments

apples Baltimore Sum-

OLD CARROLL ARoUsED.-Our Democrat
ic friends in Carroll county, true to their
principles, are giving Mr. Talbot hearty
support. A largely attended Democratic
meeting was held at Westminster, Nd, on
the 18th inst, at which addresses were made
by ]. Fred. G. Talbot, Democratic nominee
for Congress; Hon. Charles B. Roberts, G.
Bohn Slingluf and Dr. F. T. Shaw. Mr..
Talbot, says the Adcocate, defined his posi-
ton very clearly on financial and other sub
jects, announcing himself in favor OF honest
money-coin and paper money convertible
into coin at the will of the holder-opposed
to land grabbing and all monopolics and in
favor of an economical administration of the
Government and reduction of all expendi-
lures to the lowest point consistent with an
efficient public service
Mr.. Talbot was followed by Hon. Charles
B. Roberts, who urged upon all present the
Importance of an unbroken Democratic repre-
sentaton from Maryland in the 10th Con-
gress. Mr.. Roberts discussed at some length
the financial and other issues of the canvass,
and explained his own position thereon, clos
ing amidst the hcarliest demonstrations of
applause.
He was followed by DR., F. r, Shaw, of
Carroll county, member of the Convention
which nominated Mr.. Talbot. He made n
ringing and stirring appeal to. all to rally
around the old Democratic banner against
all independents, greenbackers and other OPP
ponents Of Democracy, in whatever guise
they may present themselves

MIR TILDEN AND THE CIPHER DISPATCH
Es.-Mr Tilden has at last broken silence
about the cipher dispatches alleged TO have
passed between his friends in New York and
Florida, negotiating for the purchase of the
one elector needed to give him the Presiden-
cy. His denial is so clear, so sweeping, so
particular, and bears on its face the strongest
evidence OF its TRUTH that none but the most
blinded partisan can refuse to believe that no
matter what self-constitutcd agents of Mr.,
Iilden may have DONE he at least was gno-
rant OF their actions. The simple fact is that
if Mr.. Tilden had desired to buy the Presi-
dency, and had gone into the market for the
purpose, he would not have failed for it is
well known that it was for sale to the
highest bidder when il fell into the hands of
the returning boards; and even after their
canvass was completed, carpet-bag congress
men at Washington were anxious and ready
to sell their votes to Mr.. Tilden, had he desir-
ed to purchase them. Mr.. Tilden declares
that his aim was to bring about such reforms
in the national government as he had already
carried out in the administration of the State
of New York where he reduced the expen-
ses of his State one-half To have rcsorted
to bribery and corruption, even to secure n
place which rightfully belonged to him, would
have crippled his efforts when seated in the
Presidential chair, by committing him to
certain appointments TO Office when he de-
| sired TO be untrammelled.
Mr.. Mantou Marble has also explicitly de-
MED the authorship of certain dispatches
which the New York Tribune asserts he sent,
pronouncing them forgeries. The character
and high position of Mr.. Tiden and Mr.. Mar
BILE give strength to their denials of the TIL
6une's charges. That journal must therefore
explain how it obtained the mysterious dis
patches and prove their authenticity beyond
the shadow of doubt, or else it will brand
itself as lying, slanderous sheet, of the viest
and most dangerous character.

AN ATTEMPT TO SwINDLE.-An unsuc-

ize member of the Legislature from this

Il polite note, dated from the " Headquarters
Of the Canton Democratic Club" informing
him that the club had just completeda yacht
and had unanimously decided to give it his
name 1t further stated that the club chad
so many aspirants for the hohor, from mem
bcrs of the ring of Baltimore county and city,
that we were determined to ignore them and
to choose one who is n Democrat from prin-
ciple and not Il chronic office seeker" This
was all very tlnttering and agreeable, but the
milk of the cOcoanut was contained in the
"towurds the colors" This little donation
he was requested not to send to Canton, "as
the mails arc Irregular" but to address to
George w. Wallis, southwest corner Broad
way and Fayctte Streets Baltimore" The
legislator, suspccting the affair to be Il little
"off color" did not bite at the tlaltering bait,
but addressed II note to Hon. Fetcr S.
Hobitzell, Speaker of the last House of Del
egates, who informed him that no such per-
son lived mt the address indicated, and con-
graduating him upon not being victimzed
by bald fraud The same game is said to
be quite common in the city, and from the
fact that it is played, tbs sharpers must meet
with some success among the unwary
