STRANGE INVITATIONS.
Was There Any Corruption In the Nomination
.H...a. of MIR. 6rRdleye

On the day before the nomination of Mr.
Bradley, / met Republican Senator who had
just been visiting the White House to urge the
claims of another candidate. He seemed in an
unusually bad humor and before had said
word to him about Grant and the Administra-
tion he commenced q promscuous damning of
things in general. l asked him what was the
matter. 'Oh, nothing, said he, 'only wish
Grant would pay his debts in some other way
than by nominations to the Supreme bench"
lie then proceeded to state that when he entered
the Presidents private room he found EX-Gov-
ernor Ward of New Jersey there; that Grant wa.
whiting stick and smoking, and that he and
Ward were talking about that Long Branch pro-
perty; that Grant has asked Ward how much he"
thought it was worth; that Ward said he didn't
know but he hoped Grant wouldn't sell it..
NO." said Grant, II don't think will sell it,
It's a very nice piece of property" THE incest
in the State Of New jersey" said Ward, 'and
you'd better hold on to it. It's getting better
and better every day" | couldn't exactly un-
derstand what all this had to do with the
Supreme Bench, for up to this time had not
heard Mr.. Bradley named-so i asked what the
connection was. "Oh it has - sight to do
with it," said the exasperated radical. Ward
has come on here to get Bradley, OF New Jersey,
appointed, and l infer from the way they were
talking that he has succeeded"
The next day Bradley nomination was sent to.
the Senate, and meeting my Republican friend
in the Senate LOBBY, reminded him of our talk
on the avenue, and said he was right in his
guess about the object and success of Wards
visit. "Of course was, /" said he, land wish
you'd expose the thing" I'm do it, said l.
''but 1t won't do any good. One half of the
people in the Republican party have deter
mined to believe nothing injurious TO Grant
and the other half are always ready TO be per-
suaded that what would be crime in another
President is virtue in Grant. = Washington

A BANK-RUNNERs PATENT SAFETY Box
Messrs. Wiler IL Moss, No. 225 s. Fifth street.
Philadelphia, are the patentees of o new inven-
ton for the protection of bank-runners and
other carriers when carrying money or other
valuables of any kind from one place to another.
The invention consists of metallic box of q
shape and size most convenient for the parties
by whom it is to be used, which is fastened to
the body of the runner by metal belt. The
belt is fastened by tumbler lock. 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
the hinges are hard soldered or riveted.
One of these articles has just been made for
the Sixth National Bank 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
12 inches long by about in width and in
height. II is made of brass, though any metal
can be used, followed on one side to fit the
body, and both it and the metal belt are covered
with morocco. The belt is of steel, case-har-
dened, so that it cannot be filed and so broken.
The belt, which is locked passes through
grooves on the I'D and box, so that the box can
not be opened unless the belt is withdrawn. 1t
is intended that the cashier, when sending the
messenger to the Clearing House, shall 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. The messenger
himself has no access to the box unless at the
option of the cashier, and the shortest way for q
rObber to get possession of the box would be to
cut the 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 Sth of this present month
