PoLITIos IN VIRGINIA.-The Virginia
Democratic convention, which met at Rich
mond, on the 4th Instant, was adignifed and
harmonious body composed Of the best re-
presentatives Of al the various professions,
'avocations and interests in the State. The

rF-tH CANNING.
Canning houses have become so numerous
and steam boilers are now being used in SO many
OF them that great care should be taken to em-
ploy only engineers who thoroughly understand
their business, as human lives are too precious
to be carelcssly lost If there be law on the
statute books of Maryland for the preservation
of life, let it now be brought forward, and an
inspector appointed to visit each canning house
and see that precautions are taken. The custom
heretofore has been to employ the man who
would work the cheapest, regardless of expert
encc.
HOW CORN Is CANNED.
Messrs Hoffman and Tydings, of Edgewood
commenced canning corn on the 4th Instant
Their canning house stands few hundred yards
below the station, and is u commodious struc-
ture, which embodies in its internal arrange
ments all the latest Improvements In canning
A thirty-fve horse power boiler is presided over
by one who thoroughly Understands his bust
ness. Your correspondent was kindly received
by the proprietors and shown the entire opera
ton through which the corn passes before it is
ready for market. After being brought from
Inc nelds ana huSked, the corn is cut from the
cob, filled in buckets and emptied upon the
packing table. A rake is then gently passed
through to separate the silk. A tin scoop next
conveys the corn to the patent can filler. This
can filler, of which Mr.. Hoffman is the inventor,
is merely tin box, surrounded by bands to
keep the cans in place, and it has tunnels in The
bottom which fit in the tops of the cans. The
box being filled with corn the hands are passed
through II, causing il to fall through the fun
ncs into the cans By this process the work of
ten persons may be'done by one The corn now
passes into the hands of the weigher. Each can
must weigh twenty ounces of clear corn. After
being weighed the cans are placed in salt wafer
until they arc sufficiently filed with the brine,
after which they are wiped cap put on them
aud they are passed to the copper who seals them
with patent iron. From thence they are con.
veyed to Il crate, which being filled is placed in
an exhaust kettle, where they remain a few
minutes. They are then taken ont and tipped
after which they are placed in crates three tiers
deep. Three Of these crates fill the patent
Fisher process kettle After being proccssed
they are placed in Il cooling tank and when suf-
ficienty cooled are taken by trucks TO Il room
where they are ready for labelling. Mr.. lIotf
man superintends the whole establishment and
every thing moves like clock-work.

President Garfield had another return of
high fever, last Saturday, supposed to have
been caused by some obstruction in the
wound. On Monday another operation was
performed and the flow of impurities was ia
cilitated. He is now comparatively free from
fever and suppuration is going on satisfacto-
rily, but he is extremely weak. The bullet
has not been located to certainty, and it is
said to be the opinion of DR.. Agnew that final
recovery cannot take place until the missile
is removed, which will be done as soon as
the President is strong enough to stand the
operation.
