NO RANKRTPTCY.

There has been much said lately
about the Treasury Of the U. S. be-
ing bankrupt. No doubt, this was
for political effect. But it must be
remembered, that, in addition to the
pensions of the soldiers in the war
with Mexico, and the soldiers who
fought for the Union, a Navy of
first-clsss battleships has been built
up, for which every cent has been
paid. But Senator Allison, very
conservative man and excellent
Statesman, in connection with this
charge, made the following clear and
concise statement in the Senate
Chamber on Tuesday last. He said :
Il will say to Senators who are
distressed about the sinking fund
that at this time the sinking fund
has $34.0O0,000 to it's credit; and
the chances are that before the end
of the fiscal year, every dollar ought
to be applied to it, or within a few
years at least will be applied to it.
And l will say another thing when
this fiscal year ends we will have in
stead of being in bankruptcy, $685.
100000 of surplus. That is the lat
est estimate. l have no doubt that
we will keep within it, and probably
we will have surplus of s30,000,-
900. l will venture my statement
on the $25, 100000.
That means 59,OOO,OOO on hand
and rot bankruptcy.

BAD FOR WHEELING.

We regret for Wheeling, the
Queen City of the State, that her
people are undergoing so much trial
of criminal and immoral nature.
DR.. Garrison is now on his third
trial for the murder of DR.. Baird,
with the degree of the offense redcc-
ed to murder in the second degree.
He is now fighting for liberty, when
his victim was given no chance for
his life. Other murders have since
been committed, and, instead of the
way of the transgressor being made
hard, it is being made respectable
In addition to crime of this charac-
ter, there seems to be nest of licen-
tious women there, of prodigious
power, that the police should GER
tainly be able to cope with, without
the aid of DR.. Parkhurst. Here
ls what the wheeling He9lSter says
elitorially of this immoral iniquity.
The females of shady character
who reside in Wheeling, although
they do not own the town, appear to
have a cinch on il that it should be
the chief aim Of the police to break.
A tale such as that told in our local
columns this morning, regarding the
adventures of an ex-Chief of Police
of Wheeling, who was taken from
his home, against the protests of his
wife, by anotorious courtesan, ought
to have M foundation in fact, in this
city, and it is a pity and a shame
that every word of it is the truth"

NEXT lfONDA YES ELECTION

NEXT JfONDA YES ELECTION
The municipal election will be
held on Monday next, and for the
first time, the booths and other meth
DDS of voting, provided by the new
law, will be used. To us, it looks
very cumbersome, and has around
it many objections, liable to cause
the average voter and especially
those who cannot read or write, to
stay away from the polls. But voters
must not stay away on this account
1t is the one privilege that is free
to every citizen, and he should prac-
tically enjoy it, by voting his senti-
ments, or for his candidate, and take
an interestin preserving the purity of
the ballot box, by having it proper
" counted. We trust, therefore,
that there will be full vote out, to
the end, that the wishes Of all the
people may b. expressed by electing
the very best men.

good sized audience and one that
was most heartily appreciative at
tended the FIRST performance of Bris
tolls educated horses at the Opera
House last evening and the many
expressions of praise heard at the
close of the entertainment showed
that all were more than pleased. 1t
is the first entertainment CT the kind
that has ever visited this city, but
by it's excellence has at once estab-
lished itself as worthy the patronage
of every admirer of equine sagacity.
1t is not the policy of the Daily
Union to heap undue praise upon
any class of entertainment, its Gus
tom being to endorse only those of
superior merit. In the present in
stance 1t may be said unreservedly
that the entertainment presented by
Mr.. Bristol and his company of edu-
Gated horses is one which is fully
meritorious throughout. The many
wonderful feats performed by the
horses, mules and ponies are inter
esting and amusing to degree.
The pranks and antics OF the mule
Denver" are most clever and the
extreme sagacity and intelligence of
. Comanche" are admirable. Sui
tan's" solving of mathematical prob
lens, the trapeze performance of
Tony" the tight rope walk of by

many other excellent acts are all
highly commendable and form an
entertainment that the most refined
and intelligent will enjoy. Popular
