The Fourth National B ink, on Arch street, below Eighth, has been so thoroughly reno vated, repaired, and orn uneuted that it ha 1 hi &11 reujblaiice to Us former self. The walls and ceilings have been beautifully fre-cortl, the wood work hs been hmdsoiuely framed, aud the private oilice has beeu carpeted tvitit Bru itb and so thoroughly rejuvenated as to have now a most inviting look. Perhaps the most, interesting object aUiut the hank is lis ce w s tfe, Which nurpua-eB anything of like chric'er tun we have jet seen. V hen placed wuhiu it iron walls, the depositors may rest a-tuned that their funds will be safe. The vault 1 of heavy granite Hiabs above. Iielow, and on all the sides iud its door, unlike the llitu-y alf ilr foaud eUe w here, is patterned after a mfe d')or, bein ol steel and chilled irou three inches thick. Open ing this, there is another door of one inch chilled iron. Inside the vault there Is a sife, and this sale, like the conjuror's box, contains another fate, with heavy Hours,. ami a variety of cotu'Vt Hatiou locks that are euitfuialK'al. The bink otlicers believe that what a skilful man mav make another can destroy, it time be given him. This sale is so constructed that it will re piireut least forty-eight hours to demolish the ou'er door aloi c! To do this the burglar in i-t get through four inches of steci and chillc 1-irou in tl e vault door, and then will lind three iuche.s more in the inner (four of the safe before he can lay bunds on the funds.

Tba laternatlaaal t;btlailH Mral RhUim A wwUMtoa-Break feat at the Ceatlaeatal Invitations to brrnkfat are rather a novslty lu this country, although the custom is quite frequent In Eugland, among the clergy espe cially. This moi DlnK at 9 o clock there assem bled to breakfast In the Continental Hotel a'jont oiehuudred and fltty of onr most prominent citir.eiis aud clergvrueu.wbo had betsn invited to bear explained by the Rev. Dr. Cather, tbe fc cretary of the initltutioB, tbe purposes of the association which has been established in Enir lai.d. Alier bieHktast lelitrlous exercises were btld. After which, tbe Chnlruiao, W. (J. Moor besd, Esq , aro-e, and. making a few prelimi nary remarks, Introduced Kev. Dr. Cathers. Dr. fathers made nn extended speech, K"lnir into i he detail of tbe scheme, and commented on it importance to the whole Church. He quoted a remark of Lord Derby to the effect that the ptn who, in this practical mid busy npe, ssks the attention of bis fellow men to a subject other than what Is absolutely m cei'sarv, 1 guilty of ax impenineuee if not a crime, 'l he speaker thought that the powers of ihe Cliun-h hae been too much abstracted. There ha been a fearful waste of force, a wane partly because the wotk could be done by others and easier nnd better done. He therefore de nrid to explain to them apian which would remVr others uunecei-sary. He believed it would be practical and also productive of great results. It will iutenslly the work and will brirg to an end unnecessary societies. The ob ject of the movement started In Eui lund Is first to deal with the proposi tion of the unity of the Church, and secot dly, to treat, tbe great question of Catholic morality. Dr Cat hers then went into a ndiiute xpiamalon of the ineaniri" of unity, a wotd to which he gave a broader deuuilloa than Is nsnitllv accepted by that term. As commonly utidcrsiood It means only uniformity. He be liexed that the whole of the churches of God combined make up what is meant by)the unity of the Church. There is diversity, and thero should be, for diversity is the order of nature. In the work of creation harmony exists, but vettheteis the mot infinite variety, and this lw 1 old precisely in the same relation in rel glon a- in i.Htare. He believed that there would rIwhvs l e this variety in the churches, for it is oidnfned of God himself, bat what is necessary aMve bK thing Is for the churches t1) detlue with irecition the faith that is common to all. Lord Bcon paVd over two hundred and fifty 3 car Hgo that the Church wld never exert its j't i er power until this would be done. 1 be other brunch of tho subject to which the speaker directed hi attention was what is known In this country as "systematic benevo lence." Tbe speaker then defined with exact-I'e-s wbj the association ha taken for its name the M r-l Science" Assoc'ation. We wauted to revolutioiii.H tho meaning of that word "n'ornl." He did not use it In its accepted or classic sense, but he teferred to it as in its wider, bett'jr, tciiplural. and lasting meanlu?. 'lie common return is that morals are one thirK and tellglon another. They are both the same, Pellgion 1 tb experirneutal sign and dotal the radical sign, and it is tbe intention of the association to reconstruct the meaning of ihe ord. A Ms tot y f te Inception of the scheme was given by the speaker. Tho originators do not seik to "lorm u legislative body, but merely have in different partb of the world members of the Hssochitiou w ho would cxHund its principles for tie ei.HhteMiicntol public opinion. Dr.Cathers had a con verFalion with Mr. Gladstone on tbe subject, arid that eminent statesman told him i hat it was one of the greatest works of tho tin., and thnt they were taking the inwt prac tical and effective method of securing the ends ot tbe association, viz , the formation of public oi In!. ui on the subject. Mr. Gladstone, In con clusion, sid, Pni.lic opinion directs ns, though It I thought we direct public opinion." 'I be address of Dr. Cathers was exceedingly well received, ho having been applauded fre quently. Addiesses were made by Dr. Newton and otkers, eoneurrlnir in tne views expressed on the subject of Church uulty, after which the guests departed. GO IXO WEST.

Mr. Nlblack, as a queHtion or privilege, offered a resolution requesting the Speaker to proceed at r.rce to the appolutmtnt cf eonimlttees of the Liouse Mr Polacd submitted that that was not a qiesttoa of prtvtli ge. '1 he Speaker decided that It was not, but said that he was very glad It was ottered, aud that ne wul t entertain it. Mr. Niblack remarked that he was not in favor or Congress euterit g now on general liuHinexs, tie was In favor of the earliest adjournment, but he beilevei that II there was any puoiic reason making it pnper for Congress to meet on the fourth of Mania a i l elect its Speaker and ot her ODlcers, that same rea son applied as well to the organization or the com mittee, ol the li' use. . tie suoiuttied that ttmre wa no propriety lu Congress meeting on the fourti o( March, at great expense for mile ge, it the ll iie was merely to elect Its Speaker and ather ortloert, si.o then adji uru. The liouse r an to-(Uv tu tht pesltlon or a half-organised army, havlug a o mi-uisnder-ln-chlel nut no subordinate otllccra, and uo booy to take it Into action. There were a number or election caies which thou Id be decided at an 1 any period of the Con gress Instead of being left, as waa generally the case, to tbe close or Congress, adding greatly to the expense. He considered It nuporia-t, ais , tlint members shook! know at an early day to what com mittees ihey were axslgned, so tuat they might make themselves familiar with the general ouaiuesrf of such committees. 1 he Speaker stated tils views on the suiJ ct. He laid that two years ago K was not for e tv. u d t.vo alter the organization of the House that he ws abtt to announce the standing committees, and Uo w ut persuaded that even then the announcement wis, in many respects, piemature. He would have, honu very glad then to hsve had the opportunity or be coming bet'er acqunlnted with tho autecedent, pi.sltlon, chsracter, and tastu. or meiutiers, wiiic 1 would have enttbled htm, he thongtit, to avoid s ouu mistakes which possibly occurred. The present House consisted much more largely than any of Its predecessois or new member, aim he had not been abb: to acquaint hliuseit wlt.ti t.in; personal characteristics or the new member. T.ik li g into view the decided manifestation of rho House on Saturday in favor 01 an early adjourn ment, it was not his purpose, unless otherwise In structed by the House, to appoint thn s' an. mitt committees until the December session, wit 1 the exception of the Committees uo Electluu, Mil -a;, Accounts, and Public Iiullaiugs, for tne appoint ment of which four eonimlttees there was a speoiUo necesbity. If the House were to adjourn with'n the next f rt iilghr, he should, rrom that staudpoint, regard It at dechbdly luexpi-dleut to announce the stan itiiK committees at the ireent session. Hut of c urse he wsh subject to the. orders ol the House. Mr. Cox iiellnved that II those committees were appointed the House ought to cut out s uae work f them. Tney ought to have tarlir reform ; they uiig.it to give some little admonition to tne Secretary of Me Treasury as to certain matters ; the shipping interests should tie attended to; the moment committees ere appointed ; the House would be ail at sua, and a ould be kept here till May. He thereiore thought tne suggestion of the Speaker eminently wise. He would not wait hurts for anything to come from Pan Domiugo or else where, but would keep voting to adjourn until the adjournment took place. Mr. Kldrioge agreed substantially to what his o il-b-aiiue (Mr. Nlblxe.k) had said. Mud thought -nvrt was a good deal of practical good seuie. in ins hu gestiona. Member or tne House should kn 1 at as early a day aa possible on wiut committees tuny were to Bel ve, so as to prepare themst-lves for llie specially or such committees. He was uot lo f ivor ol general leglslstiou now. He did not kuo taut the country needed It. There were aotne matters leit utidoue by the last Congress whlcuougut to have beeu done. Mr. Dawes hoped that Mr. Niblack wou d with draw his resolution, lleadmtuenih. it if Congress were to stay In stssion lor soiuu time, and en r on geneial legislation, it would t absolutely iiecnssary to have the eommlttet s apnotuted, but the House, had wit.11 gre-o. uuauiuity decided on Saturday tnat it. would nut enter on general legislation. Every indication wa that If lUe Seute did not sgtee 10 adjourn oa Wednesday It would agree t aa jour 11 at en early nay, but 11 committees were now eppoluled the liouse wuld pluuge at ouue loto gt Ler at legislation, and it did not seem to imu trial 1 here was any occasion for doing anv tiling tii.vt wou.d teiid In th.i direction, fee was one of th e who he4teved that Umigregs legislated too ma'.h. He believed It would have been be'ter for 'tougre.s not to meet until December, according to custom for so many years. Tli. meeting tu March had beeu ai p luted lor a special necesrity, whluh ueuesstr.y had pat-Bed away, and he trusted that thn law for that purpose would oe repealed. If the committee wt re appointed now and set to work It wa l.tifjossl sibla to tell wlieH Congress could adjourn, lie hoped that Mr. Niblack would withdraw the re. 1- IlitlOU. Mr. Wheeler moved to lay the resolution on the tab.e. Mr. Bntler, of Massachusetts, desired the II nise to comlder Ihe exact state or public buslnets. C011 giess, atthe last sesMoc, had passed tne appropria tion bills aud oneother puoilo measure ot l.nport ance, but had pusst-d liothiuK elan except private bills, tie did not dsire to enter upon a uuw otreer 01 legislation of that kind. All of the great iiitereiis of the couutry had been left to take care of ihe'u eelvts. il there were liottili.g to be dealt witti but questions or finance, quest tuns or reveaue, aid questions or taritl', the ordinary legislation or the country, he would not content to adjourn nt once, but tho House could not shut In eyes ti the fact that there Was a state or things lu the S mth -ru part of the country which called for leglsUUou lo enable the President to carry out the cotistituitniul guarantees of protect lou to life, ItbTty, ami pro- erry. He desired to enter on no o'lwr legislation t ut that. He trusted that It was In view of tiott cohollion 01 thltigs that the President had liitltuated a desire tt.at Congress should uot tlx the day of ad journment during this week. He quite agreed that it was tietter not to appolut the general eommitie. s of the House for the purpose of going Into general leylslulion, but he did hope that the House wou id not aojourn so soon. It wonli be false tittsda'y to the nation, and false to lt duty to tbe (Joustttu tion. If it adjourned and left the state of things m the South that now was there, aud left tbe Presi dent poweiiess to correct It. In this connection he sent to the Clerk's desk to be read, a report made to Governor 8oott, of 8ou'h Carolina, by John li. Hubbard, ciiiel State Con. ta ble stating that iu Laurens r.ouu , aluce Ocroher lth, 1870, there hid beeu a )ude of prooa'.ri (Vol ney J'oweli), a member or the House of Representa tives (Wade A. Perrln , and eleveu other leading Republicans killed, lu one day fJft uieu aud women were brutally whipped and maltreated, aud one hundred aud tbty persons were driven from their homes; that In Union couuty two tnnl Justices aud one probate junge bad been ktliut, nitveu meu takeu from jail aud shot or bung, and about .event ? five barbarously scourged and whipped ; and tn. latlng similar eutragea lu Hpartausburg, York, aud Atibevllle counties. The leading or the document was Interrupted by a polat of order, yiade by Mr. Wood, that It was uot relevant to the resolution before tne House. The Kpeaker sustained the pol it or order. Mr. Mbiack otiered to withdraw tbe resolu tion. The Speaker expressed a preference So have the House vote upon the ruotlou to lay it on the table. The question waa taken, and the resolutiou was laid on the table without the leas and naja. On motion or Mr. Marshall a bill to remove ths political diaablllties or John H.. Halley, of Jasper county, Illinois, a as passed. Mr. Marshall asked to have another bill passed establishing a post route lu Illinois. Mr. butler, of Massachusetts, objected. If he could not have the people or the houta protected from murder, be did not want post route bids. Ou motion ol Mr. Poland the Seuata jolut resolu tion passed to-d,.y for th. appointment or a C iu m-sslouer to the Inieiaulonal Congress on rVulteu- l'.rv tlt'd beforiniliorr l"r(p"?e i n".
