TnBCoRPoRATioS BANK AcCoUST.-Somc
persons appear not to understand the pur-
port Of the Corporation Bank statement pub
llshed weekly In the proceedings of the coun-
ellis. Seeing that large amounts are set
down to the credit Of certain funds, many
seem to suppose that these sums OF money
are actually In the bank, and that creditors
whose claims are payable out Of the funds
thus credited are needlessly kept out of their
dues by the corporation officials. This Is
mistake arising from a misapprehcnslon Of
the meaning of the Statement" The ac-
counts OF the corporation finances are kept,
as required by law, with seventeen distinct
funds but the money belonging to these
several funds is not kept in separate parcels.
While the bank statement shows what be.
longs TO these several funds, II docs not indl-
cate that the amount stated is actually on
hand. 1t should be noticed that while some
Of the funds are credited with balances,
others are largely overdrawn, aud the cor
poration has money on deposit only when
the entire credits exceed the entire debts.
For example. the last published statement
august 81 - shows the amount of $685.
Sy6. 03 TO the credit OF several of the funds,
but II also shows that the other funds have
been overdrawn to the aggregate amount of
s2s2, 7I7 hence the corporation, instead of
having sees, s9G.o3 In the treasury, as some
Imagine, has actually overdrawn Its deposits
to the amount of sj3,SjO97, which is now
due the bank.
This should be a sufficient answer to the
question often asked "Why does not the
corporation pay its cmploycesl"

RICHMOND THE PROPER CApITAL,-If the
capital Of the nation Is to he changed the
claims Of Richmond should not be over
looked. 1t is the proper site, and ought to
have been selected In the first place. 1t Is
central, healthful, and delightful, and as
strategic point impregnabe. Our voice is
for Richmond. The public buildings and
archives could be removed hitler at far less
cost than to the West. Romantic hills
mark her out as the future seat of empire.
We would adopt this city as the national
metropolis, and make Virginia the federal
distrlct-thus recognizing her claim to the
mothershlp Of States. Who will second our
motioni This, We think, would bind her TO
the Union forever. Richmond Journal.
