BAL MAsouE OF THE VIRGINIA GEsASG.
vERE1N.-Richmond has never witnessed
such masquerade as will be exhibited ut
the Theatre on next Monday evening, under
the auspices of our leading singing society.
1t will be to the spectators scene long to oe
remembered, and to those who participate IN
the festivities an entertainment of real enjoy.
ment. 4 substantial spring flooring will be
laid across the stage and parquet for the
accommodation of the dancers, while the
dress circle will be reserved for those who
come only to see the show. The programme,
published in another column, gives but q
flint idea of the scenes in which the masquers
are to take part, but it is sufficient to insure
the sale of an immense number of reserved
seats. We would therefore advise all pro-
posing to attend to secure their seats early.
The sale of these will commence on Wednes-
day morning at West & Johnston's book
store.

The Profits Of Keeping the Public
Funds.

The money belonging to the State is now
kept in the First National Bank and the
Union Bank, both presided over by Isaac
Davenport, Esq, and the Planters National
Bank and the Richmond Banking and Insu-
rance Company, of both OF which John b.
Davis, Esq, is the president.
These institutions are all four1shlng and
growing richer, and we shall show to what
extent the public funds have added to their
wealth. The average deposits of the State
in these repositories for the last twelve
months have been over eleue,1 hundred thou
sand dollars. By the law making these banks
public repositories, each one Is entitled to
hold the sum of 1000 without paying in.
terest on it, and to pay four per cent. interest
on ali the balance.
The four banks, presided over by two pre-
sidents, therefore, have had each $4,000 fol
a year, making in all $1O0, 900, free from any
lars on which they have only paid four pei
cent.
On the one hundred thousand dollars, free
from interest, they have made at least ten per
cent. (S10,000; on the million they have
also at least made ten per cent, but having
paid four per cent. to the State, they have
made on that clear profit Of at least sirta
thousand dollars. =ff- - -
With the ten thousand dollars made on the
100000 exempt from interest, their profit fol
the last year has been at the very least seoen
ty thousand dollars; that is, each of these
four banks has, during the last year, made &
profit Of seuenteen thousand tiue hundred dol
lars, at least, out Of the public funds.
Now the capital stock of these repositories
Is as follows: First National, $350,oO0
Union Bank, $500, 200; Planters National
S250,O00; Richmond Banking and Insurance
Company, $4,000.
Thus it will be seen that the public fund:
alone have made profit to the First Nationa
equal to five per cent. on capital, Union Bans
equal to seven per cent. on capital, Planters
National equal to seven per cent. on capital
and Richmond Banking and Insurance Com
panv ten per cent. on capital.
The public funds alone have furnished tt
these corporations this heavy per cent. on
their capital.
The statement of the treasurer shows ina
each of them now holds about S4oo, 600 OF tht
public money-that is, all Of them hold muct
more public money than their capital, ant
one of them more than twice as much. Ine!
have enjoyed this profitable monopoly fol
the last four years, and In the last year nave
certainly made seventy thousand dottdTS ou

TEACHERS REUNION AT THE CENTRAL
SCHOOL BUILDISG-LEcTURE OF MAJOR HoTcH-
K1ss.-On Saturday morning the teachers of
the public schools OF the city, by invitation
of superintendent Binford. assembled at the
Central School building, corner of Twelfth
and Clay streets, aid were pleasantly enter
timed by Major Jed. Hotchkiss, who deliver
ed IN interesting lecture on the subject OF
Geography" The meeting was opened (f
such thing can be said Of the informal re-
uniop) with cheerful song, which was very
sweetly sung, At the conclusion Of this the
lecturer on the occasion was introduced, and
alluded to the powerful influence Of educa-
ton on cities by reason Of the advantages of
concentration. He said that geography was
no question for authors, but of methods and
textbooks. The organic and the physical
method he considered the true one. 1t dis
plays the plan Of universal intelligence.
it regards the world as an organism. The
parts all united by golden chain into one
harmonious whole. 1t addresses itself to the
pupil not merely a5 something to be learned,
but as Il life-giying mode of leading out the
powers to observe and think. The most i'm
portant task of the teacher, he regarded, is to
translate the visible forms into well-defincd
image in the mind, to cultivate the ilnagina-
ton in true and healthy sense.
The first idea Of geography is in the school
room. Map-dmwing is the first resource
not merely to get mechanical skill, but to fix
picture in the mind. Let pupil draw first
the school-room, by proportion, on the board.
The fingers are the natural diYiders, the
instruments supplied to every child to fix a
definite measure by span; so Of the step
and the length Of the arm. Teach the pupil
to refer everything to this standard and to
feel that he is part Of this living, thinking
world. Beginning with the body Of the
loom, lot him locate its doors, seats, &c.
The outlines Of the city Of Richmond we; e
sketched upon the board by the lecturer,
showing finely the principle of constructing
maps. The valley of the Shenandoah is 12U
miles long and 80 miles wide. The name means
"the Beautiful Daughter of the Stars" A
county map was here shown. This map
would have bewildered a beginner, if studied
in detail. How, then, would we proceed to
make child familiar with the geography Of
the Valley? We would begin with the noun.
tains. By simple outline map upon the
blackboard we construct all that is necessary
for the pupil to know about that valley. The
Blue Ridge, the North Mountain, the Shenan
doah with its forks, come out boldly with 9
few touches. These are the elements which
tell practically upon the value of geographic
cal knowledge.
The speaker also spoke at some length Of
profile maps. r, 80,
The march of s.orm was discussed a:
seen from one of the coast survey stations
the observers looking over the storm-cloud
for over hundred miles and watching itS
majestic movement.
A geographical description of Asia and
Africa was next given, and an outline mar
of South America shown, Il T. .tE : E
The lecture was very interesting, and was
listened to with respectful attention.

LOCAL MATTERS.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN TEE OFFICE OF
THE uENRICo COUNTY CLERK.--A few weeks
aSo, on complaint Of members of the bar,
Judge Minor, Of the Henrico County Court,
appointed committee consisting Of Messrs.
John Is. Mordecai, III. A. Atkinson. John A.
Meanley, Thomas Johnston, and George D.
Pleasants, to examine the clerks Office OF
the court and report the condition of the re-
cords and papers therein, and whether VIII
liam j. Annable, the clerk of the court, has
faithfully discharged bis duties. The report
of the committee (signed by Messrs. Morde-
cal, Johnston, Pleasants, and Meanley,) was
presented to the ceess. yesterday, and the re-
suit is rather unfavorable for. the clerk.
The committee remark In the outset that
they cannot pretend TO have made a thorough
examination of the records and papers, mas
much as that was impossible within the limit
ed time at their disposal. They have, how.
ever, examined those details of the office
which require the almost daily attention of
the clerk, and which, without such attention,
must cause the interests of the people and
the county to suffer, and after this eXnmina-
ton are constrained to report that they find
many errors in the conduct Of the Office un-
der the present clerk. Some Of these errors
are of grave Importance, and nearly all are
such as are not usually found in the records
and papers of well-regulated office.
The report then mentions ihdetII antrm-
Der Of the errors referred to. For instance,
In deed-book 81 there were found about
twenty mistakes In the indexfng; one deed
was not properly certified for record; there
were numerous omissions the handwriting
is in many cases Indifferent, ard sometimes
illegible; there are frequent and perplexing
intcrlineations; work for which special ap.
preparation was made has not been done; the
record for marriages has been badly kept ;
civil warrants returned have not always been
entered OH the record; many papers are un-
endorsed; the original lists of lands sold for
| non-payment of taxes between 1850 and 1860
cannot be found; and it appears that some
marriage licenses were issued without evi.
dence Of due authority. .s.H.
| In conclusion, the committee say "that
while many of the errors discovered by us
are, in our opinion, of a serious nature, and
calculated to result in damage to the public
interest, we believe the said errors to be the
result Of inexpericnce or incompetency only,
having found nothing in the course of oul
examination which indicates any criminal OF
wilful malfeasance in office on the part of the
clerk" "...
| The court took no action in the matter
but will probably make an order to-day.
