BLAINE AT WORK.


Accounts feom Maine state that Presi-
dLnt Grant is expected in Augusta next
week, but it is not possible TO state the day.
The fact of his coming has been kept very
still, and the people on side the favored cir
cles had no knowledge of it till it leaked out
In the papers, and then it was at once an
nounced that be was coming on a private
visit with his family, and that no publ !:
demonstration would be made. That this
visit means more than is thus made to ap-
pear on the surface may be relied on. Mr.
Blaine's real purpose in bringing about this
visit, is to induce the President 10 appoint
Hon. Lot M. Morrill, q Clief-Justice of the
United States, 10 order that he Mr.. Bisine)
may be elected himself to the Senate in the
place of Mr.. Morrill,, as an advanced posi-
ton from which to operate for the Presi-
dency in 1875, and every possible influence
will be brought to bear on the President to
accomplish this purpose. Mr.. Morrill, will
be opposed a. the close Of his term on &C
count of voting for the salary grab, and it is
said taat be is not averse to becoming the
successor of the Ian ented Chase. he is
undoubtedly as well qualified to perform
the duties of that exalted position as either
of the Senatorial candidates named.

Gigantic Rebellion in Japan.
100000 Insurgents on the Rampage.

Wholesale slaughter, Arson and
PIuudor.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA Japan letter
says on the 2lst ult. ten thousand men,
mostly farmers, armed with bamboo spears,
assisted by the former Damios' retainers
armed with swords, attacked the Govern
inent castle at Fukuoka, set fire to the build
ing, destroyed all the official books and pa
pers, and killed six officers. Four are said
to have died by their own hands as they
saw the rebels overpowering them. Three
officers only escaped, and fed to Laga, so
miles above Nagasski. The telegraph line
from Yokohama which passes through Tsi-
knsen, was utterly destroyed, and the over
land mail road was blockaded 50 that in
formation is obtained slowly.
A report has reached Nsgssaki that the
houses of all the people IN Hakati and
country round about, who would not join
the insurgents have been burned, and that
the dwellings of rich men and the banks
have been robbed. The insurgents are
said to number at least 100000. The cause
of the revolt is that the government has re-
quired the taxes of farmers to be paid 10
money instead of produce, together with a
probable failure of the rice crops.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Inter- Ocean,
writing from Harper's Ferry, says: Of all
the oil Government buildings in the armory
inclosure before the war, the only one that
has escaped destruction during all that fear
ful struggle is John Browns engine honse.
Of the magnificent stoze-rooms and facto-
ries, erected apparently to last forever, very
little save the foundations remain, but the
old engine-house, situated in the most ex-
posed spot, stands as intact as the day John
Brown and his party we're taken prisoners.
To the right and left of it houses bave been
destroyed by the war and by the focd; bat
the little house, the castle of the greatest
Abolitionist that ever lived, bears not scar,
save those received during the Brown insur-
rsction.

WHAT is EXPEDITED OF THE Dem.
Il OCRATIC PARTY.

From the New York World.
The Democratic party, now fairly rid Of
the incubus which for time paralyzed its
energies, has only the more firmly pledged
its adhesion to the enduring principles of
it's neutrality-suspicious. destined to out
live all the reactions based on real or sup
posed defect'ons from hem. On the other
ha d, the Republican party, even if taken
at its own valuation, is discharged of all
significance by the destruction Of slavery,
and now finds only in ".h3 cohesive power
of public plunder" the secret Of its confed-
Grafton. Il is no wonder, then, that this
secret is perpetualy coming to light in
Credit Mobilier peculations, in the ''salary
grab," and the pillage of the Southern
States, which, in the name Of "ireedom,"
have been robbed alike of their substance
and of their liberties.
Never was there such need of the DEM
ocratic party as when the reactionary party,
which for time has thriven on the abuses
Of an extinct social system, no longer re-
mains except to point warning against the
inevitable degradation Of any combination,
which, having exhausted the conditions of
its public usefulness, is left 10 spend its
strength in uilding up artificial encroach-
ments in which it may preserve the wealth
and p1wer of its leaders at the expense
alike of civil liberty, of personal right, and
of common honesty.

mained in the aquarium. A few days after
this notice was published the remaining

corals could be indentifed. Whether the
thief was or was not naturalist, he has
certainly shown himself shrewd fellow
and humorist.
