A formidable bolt to Greeley from

The NEXT WAR.-If the reports that
reach us from ST. Petersburgh are true,
there is really fair prospect of war
between Russia and China result
which would not be altogether displeas-
ing to the former power. 1t appears
that, owing to certain troubles between
the two nations, one of the western
provinces of China, Kouldseha, was, a
year ago, seized and held by Russian
troops. The inhabitants Of this PROV
ince are mostly Mahommedans and "a
verse to Chinese rule, and prefer to re-
main under Russian protection, while
the Chinese government are determined
to re-possess themselves of the usurped
territory. Thus matters stand at pres
ent. The government at Pekin is busy
preparing for war Fifteen hundred
men are daily employed in the cOnstruc-
ton of iron clads and the preparation
of guns and ammunition. Agents have
also been sent among the Russian Kir-
ghis, who, are, in effect, Chinese, to in.
duce them to renew their old allegiance
and take a friendly as well as active
part in the impending conflict.

DEAD LETTERs-From official ac-
counts we learn that three million letters
went to the dead letter office, last year,
and that they contained sum exceed
ing three millions of dollars in drafts,
money and checks. Of this, ninety two
thousand dollars was in cash. Fifty
Aght thousand letters had no county or
State direction four hundred thousand
lacked stamps, and three thousand were
posted without any address at all. 1t
is estimated that on an average every
letter that goes into the dead letter Of
fee loses dollar to some one. Many
Of these mistakes doubtless arise from
ignorance, but many more must be cred
tied to Observation-Disclosures and the rest
less activity characteristic Of our people.
Of the four hundred thousand letters
going to the dead letter Office for want
of stamps, many were doubtless stamp
ed, but the gum did not adhere. a fault
far from uncommon in many of the
stamps issued by the post office authori-
ties. The official report from which
these facts are cleaned should have the
effect of making people more careful in
stamping, addressing, and mailing let
tiers. We can understand how a man
should forget to stamp a letter in the
hurry of business, but how he could
possibly manage to place it on an enyel.

Old Indians, too. They told us that

The Hunter Ticket Creates Disturbance
in the Political Circles Of

Democrats For and Against it-BrOOks

Do and DO Right.

Special TO the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, October 5.-What is
now termed the eClayton-Bourbon move
ment, Hunter for Governor, is de-
nounced on the streets as the most COM
plete failure known in the political his
tory of the country. No State in the
Union, it is said, has ever known such
a fiasco. l am told that Indignation
meetings are being held everywhere
throughout the State, and that the whole
ticket will be condemned. It is charaea
terized as a Ministerial trick and a
Bourbon dodge until one scarce knows
what to believe in regard to it. The
Democratic State Central Committee
denounce it, and call upon the people to
stick to their pledges. There is cOnfu-
sion worse eOnfounded. Many intelli-
gent and most of the reliable leaders of
the Democracy are for Hunter, and
there will be some tight skirmishing be-
fore election day. Either Hunter or
Brooks will have to withdraw. Not a
few would prefer that the latter should
get out of the way, but if he continues in
the field they will support him.
heard to-day, among the rumors
that are flying about, that Brooks
was only the creature of Rice, who
wants to go back to the United States
Senate. Hadley, as the APPEAL said a

would declare by proclamation the
United States amnesty law supreme
over the State DISTINGUISHING laws,
and let the people register without
taking an oath that may make some of
them amenable to an odious and unjust
law, he would deserve their gratitude,
and might hereafter demand anything
he wanted, even to their votes for Pres
