Balance of securi ties on hand at A Bank-uitnneu's Patent Sabetv Box. Messrs. Wilcr & Moss, o. 325 8. Fifth street, Philadelphia, are tho patentees of a new inven tion for the Protection of bank-runners and ther carriers when carrying money or other valuables of any kind from one place to another, The invention consists of a metallic box ol a shape and size most convenient for tho parties liv whom it is to be used, which is fastened te the body of tho runner by a metal belt. The belt is fastened by a tumbler lock. A leather strap goes around the box and passes over the further shoulder, so relieving the weight from the side. The box is hinged in the middle, and tho nlnircs are nard soldered or riveted. One of these articles has just been made for the Sixth National Hank of this city, and, though it Is of Philadelphia invention, another has been in use for some little time in New York. The box for the Sixth National is about 11? inrhcR loner bv about 4 in width and 8 in height. It is made of brass, though any metal can be wed. hollowed on one side to fit the body, and both it and the metal belt are covered with morocco, inc ouit is oi steel, case-nar- dencd, so that it cannot be filed and so broken. The belt, whiuh is locked, passes through irrooves on the lid aud box, so that the box can not be opened unless the belt is withdrawn. It is intended that the cashier, when sending the messenger to the Clearing House, Bball deposit the money and notes in the box, lock the belt, and retain the key. The officer at the Clearing House has a duplicate Key. Ihe messenger himself has no access to the box unless at the option of the cashier, and the shortest way for a robber to get possession of the box would be to cut tho carrier in half. This could hardly be done in the street In open day. The entire ar rangement of the size ordered by the Sixth National Bank weighs five pounds. The patent was only Issued on the eth or this present month, Lost or Blown Away. On Monday evening, during tho explosion at Horticultural Hall, various articles were lost or stolen, and various owners are In anxious search of them. One of these is a sable fur collar, for which a reward is offered; another is a Hudson Bay sable cape, for -which the finder or thief will receive five dollars: etlll another is a gold earring, the wire hook of -which remained in the owner's ear; yet another is an ornamental cross, such as Is worn around the neck; and finally a pair or black opera classes with black morocco case is missing, orobablv blown away while they were In uso to view the explosion. It might also be stated that several people lost their wits, but lor these no reward Is offered, as they wero of no value whatever. At.df.rmamc Finks and Penalties.

' Mr. Banks addressed the House on the sniiiec.t. lie said: Mr. Speaker, although Mr. Uiirliuirame had rendered great services to tlio country, he was not oillclally connected with this Government at the time of his death. It Is not proper, therefore, to In terrupt the proceedings of tlio House at this time by anything more than a statement of this sad occur rence, yet I crave the generous Indulgence of the Douse to say that a llttlng and proper opportunity will be presented In the regular course of business to express our appreciation of his char acter and great services. He wished to be remembered in connection with those services, and I promised him at the last Interview I Had wiin mm mat ms name suouni not tiu forgot en. The mediation between the great and ancient em pire of the east and the civilized nations or the west is one of the grandest services which any man in modern times lias periormed. That service Mr. Burlingame had curried nearly to its complete suc cess. Tne empire 01 iiuxsia, in which ne died, and where he could but just have arrived, was the last of the great States which it was his duty to visit, and there he was certaln'of soon accomplishim; all tuat could nave oeen expected ana uesirca oy mm In regard to his great mission. In regard to that mission I will ouly Bay that its creation was as much due to the peculiar ana nign cnaracter or Mr. lliir- ltnpume as to the necessities of the Government which he represented.

He admitted tho proba bility of the destruction of polygamy by the enforce ment of the bill, and that that would be a laudable and wise purpose If such destruction were all that were involved in tne matter, it would be liis duty to advocate the measure instead of opposing it, but k.r.rinf. aATTiut li in,r tt tlio Mnl'mnn innn,.. .1.1.1 HouietlniiK more ol the peculiar character and mo tives of tlie peoples inhabiting that country, and he was compelled to submit that tills hill enforced as a law would provoke consequences most proline of misfortune, aud email results altogether uuprece. dented.

Again, tne growing Indus. tries of a vast country would lie checked and the development of tho Pacific coast seriously retarded, aud beyond all this thoumimts of brave men would be slain, and millions of treasure expended. He feared that tlie people of t tab. would regard tho passage of this bill as a declaration of war, and would prepare with all tne fnry, aud earnestness. and zeal of fanatics to enter upon u contest most bitter, protracted, and tiiouuy.

Continued from tlie TTiird Edition, Mr. Carpenter said the- real question at lsue was whether the case should be decided by the Commis sioner of 1'atents, to whom the law gave authority, or by the Chief of ordnance, who nad passed upon it. Mr. cragin recited inarauisor tno case, and tne reason wny tne tun snonni pass. Attcr runner discussion tne mil was laid aside. Mr. Wilson presented the credentials of II. R. Revels, as Henalor-elect from Mississippi, which were reau. 1 lie paper was a certiiicate or eiectlou lor tne term ending in 1671, and was signed uy Lieue ral Ames, Military Governor of Mississippi. eMr. Haulsbury inquired whether the paper was any vioence 01 tue election 01 tno person reierreu to. The Chair replied that If objection was made to the administration of the oath to Mr. Revels, the ques tion whether the oath should be administered would be submitted to the Senate. Mr. Saulstiury said that, before the question of ad ministering the oath came up, other nnestious might nave to be settled. At tins particular stage ne biio mittcd that tue certiiicate of a military oiiicer that this man nnd been elected to tne senate of the United states was not such a certlncato as was re- dulred by law. Mr. Stewart remarked thai tne certuicates or eiec. th in f f the various Senators lrom the reconstructed Suites had been signed by Provisional Governors. Mr. saulstiury proceeded to argue that admission to the Si; 11 ate could only bo claimed upon a valid election by a valid legislature, in tno present c.tse there was no evidence emanating from the Legisla ture tuat tney had elected any one, nut simply a eer- tmcate irom an lnnivuiuai styling nitnseir a military omcer ana rrovisionai uovernor, mat tne Legisla ture had done certain acts, lie denied that any Provisional Governor could send a communication to this body, for such an oinccr was unknown to the Constitution.

Omtinued from the Third Edition. The tree of degraded sensuality did not bear fruits Of thrift, industry, ami temperance, lie did not in tend to apologize for the unlawful acts of the Mor mons, Dut ne desired tlie Mouse to understand what it would undertake In passing this bill. If its provi sions were attempted to be enforced there would be war. lie appealed to the Judgment of the gentle men, ana to mat or nistory, wiucu is pnuosophy teaching by example, whether it was not probable that a people who believed In their religion as deeply as mormons am woum not ugut, ana die, 11 need oe, In the effort to preserve it from annihilation. Being so determined, was It to be expected that tney wouiu postpone nosiiiunis uutu the first com pany of forty thousand troops provided for In the uiu coum reaen me very borders of Ulan? Tney would regard the passage of the bill as a declara tion of war. and would hasten to fortify and pro vision anu arm themselves. Tney could maintain a content for months, perhaps for years. With their facilities for organization, they could destroy hun dreds of lnlleB of the great overland railroad In a week. Of course, they would bo conquered in the ei i. oecause they could be exterminated. But it would cost millions upon millions of trea sure aud thousands upon thousands of lives, and It would cost tno interruption or tiiut travel wmuu peunanently growing In importance, and promised, If undisturbed, to fuiui the dream of Columous, aud to make America a new highway to tho ladles. The suppression of polygamy would therefore, in his jio greent, be purrhused at too great cost, lite case of the Mormons was that of a linulful of men and women governing themselves In their own way, aud making of their method, Willi one odious exception, an undoubted success. They might look In vain elsewhere than In I tun for cities without a brothel or gaming house. Mr. Fitch proceeded to depict the misfortunes which would be Inflicted even on the women of Utuh by depriving theiu even of the semblance of marriage which now protects them, aud concluded with a strong protest sgalnst the pawsage of the hilb ' He was listened to throughout with marked alien' tion, and his peroration was applauded. jnr. nnnreni louoweo in opposition to tne mil which, If enforrcd, wnxld be most deleterious to the fordo of California, ss the ilrst movement of the Mormons would be to tear up hundred of miles or the Pacific Halirond.

STRANGE 1MIMAT1QXS. Was There Any Corruption In the Nomination oi itr. orauieyr On the day before tlio nomination of Mr. Bradley, 1 met a Republican Senator who had just been visiting tho White House to urge the claims or anotner candidate, lie seemed in an' unusually bad humor, and before I had said a word to him about Grant and the Administra tion ho commenced a promiscuous damning of things in general. 1 asked him what was the matter. "Oh, nothing," said he, "only I wish Grant would pay his debts in some other way than by nominations to the Supreme bench." lie men proceeded to state that when he entered. the President's private room he found Ex-Gov ernor v ard of New Jersey there: that Grant was whittling a stick nnd smoking, and that ho and Ward were talking about that Long Branch pro perty; that Grant has asked Ward bow much he thought it was worth; that Ward said be didn't know, but ho hoped Grant wouldn't sell it.. "No," said Grant, "I don't think I will sell it. It's a very nice piece of property." "Tho nicest ' in the State Of New Jersey," said Ward, "and you'd better hold on to It. It's getting better und better every day." I couldn't exactly un derstand what all this had to do with the Supreme Bench, for up to this time I had not heard Mr. Bradley named so I asked what the connection was. "Oh, it has a - sight to dov wlth it," said the exasperated radical. "Ward, has come on here to get Bradley, of New Jersey, ' appointed, and I infer from tho way they were talking that he has succeeded." The next day Bradley's nomination was sent to the Senate, und meeting my Republican friend, in the Senate loony, 1 reminded him of our talk on tho avenue, aud said ho was right In his guess about tho object nnd success of Ward's visit. "Of course I was," said lie, "and I wish . you'd expose the thing." "I'll do it,'' said I, "but It won't do any good. One half of the' people in the Republican party have deter mined to believe nothing injurious to Grants and tho other half are always ready to be per suaded that what would beacilino iu another, President is a virtue in Grant.
