the Louisiana Republican organization. The
Packard State committee has formally ex.
pelled Pinchback by vote of % to L.
Now, if Wells would just rise up and have
Packard expelled, and then Casey would

News from Japan, per steamer City of
ing, says there is an insurrection in the
province Of Satsuma. The insurgents are
believed to be mostly men of the Samsuri or
gentry class, who are dissatisfied with the
condition of comparative obscurity in which
the great social and political changes have
left them. Their number is variously esti-
mated at from three to ten thousand. 1t is
currently reported that their movements are
directed by the celebrated statesman and
soldier Saigo Elder, brother of the recent
com missioner to the Philadelphia exhibition.
or this rumor, though Confidently reported
on all sides, no positive proof is given.
Large bodies of troops and strong naval
forces have been sent against the rebels un-
der the general command of the imperial
prince Arisugausa, the emperor's uncle. Col
lisions have already taken place at Kunanto,
the chief city of the province adpining
Satsuma, into which one band Of insurgents
penetrated. Tie results of these actions are
absolutely unknown. The government is

fus ed reports of every kind are in circulation,

fasten on lamp tops, to tighten loose bolts
whose nuts arc lost, tighten loose joints of
wood or iron, loose boxes in wagon hubs,
and in a great many others. In all cases
