NICroR EMMANUELs GuARDs.-Al-
though Victor Emmanuel is physically
vigorous, rising every morning at five
ard takiLg a stroll in his garden before
breakfast, he is not without superstition.
He had not been long in the Quirinal
palace before he discovered a trap door
in his bedroom. communicated with
vast gallery, in which the king and his
attendants walked for twenty minutes
without finding an outlet. 1t seemed,
however, To lead to the castle of It.
Angelo. His majesty declined To inves-
tirate the matter, and ordered the trap
door to be bricked up. Soon aftcrward.
he discovered secret door in the wall
which communicated with a narrow
staircase leading to the roof. 1t, too,
was bricked up, but since this discovery
we are informed that whenever hi5 maj
esly sleeps at the Cuirinal two huge
black dogs also sleep at the fort of the
royal bed. They obey no one but the
king, never bark, and would strangle,
without any parleying, the first person
who entered the room.

THE following anccdOte of honest Thad.
Stevens comes from the Baltimore Ga.
zette: ale was employed TO defend two
bank officers indicted for conspiracy.
When the trial was opened Mr.. Stevens
rose and, addressing the court, said {: If
it please your honors, presuming there
are different degrees of guilt attached to
the prisoners, my clients, move they be
tried separately. The motion was
granted and so recorded. Waiting some
time for Mr.. Stevens to go on, the Judge,
at last becoming impatient, said i'm.
pctuously: Proceed, Mr.. Stevens, pro-
cccd' Stevens rose deliberately, and
said: did your honors ever hear of one
man Seing tried for conspiracy? Then
waving his hand to his clients, he said
You can go home; you can go home.
And they did go home. The jury were
DISCHARGED and the court adjourned
And for this piece of legal strategy Thad
Stevens received $1,000"

THE yellow fever appears to be in.
7reasing at Brunswick, Ga, and the
dcstitution is becoming terrible. At
Savannah the disease holds its own, and
a few cases are reported at New Orleans,
but there is always little yellow fever
at New Orleans at this season of the
year. Other southern cities are taking
the necessary sanitary precautions, and
if we should have good frost, not an
improbable thing at this season, the
ravages of the scourge would be arrested.

MR.. BLAINE'S LETTERS.
WHAT THEY DO NOT CONTAIN.

NO ALLUsIoNs TO COL SCOTT OR UNION PACIFIc-A
CERTIFICATE FROM MR.. BLACK AND EX-SENATOR
CARPENTER-TEsTIMoNY AS TO THE POSSESSION
OF THE LETTERS
In the Blaine investigation yesterday Mr.. Blaine,
Mr.. Fisher and Mr. Atkins testified. A certificate
was read from jeremiah Black and Matthew II. Car
penter stating that they had read the letters OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Muligan, and that they
contain nothing relating to the subject
of the pending investigation. The Commit
tee not having the letters submitted to
them for examination then endeavored to ascertain
the contents of the letters from the Witnesses 1t
was testified that they did not say anything about
the Union Pacific the $64, 900 or Col. Scott. 1t
then came out that Mr. Fisher and Mr. Atkins
knew nothing whatever about any of Mr.
Blaine's bonds going to Col Scott They had
had only made conjecture in regard to it. large
amount of testimony taken as to how Mulligan
came by the letters, and as to Mr.. Blaine offering
them to Fisher, &c.
New-York tribune., 1876-06-03

Scott sold to the Union Pacific Railroad Company
were not the bonds which Mr.. Blaine obtained from
his Maine purchasers, part Of those which
he himself owned and that he will do this in due
time is the positive expectation Of his friends and
the manner in which it will be done has already
been foreshadowed in dispatch to THE TRIBUNE.
1t is also necessary to remove from the public mind
all suspicion that the letters which Mr.. Blame took
from Nr. Mulligan contained something which if
published would reflect upon his character or repu-
taton and thus to take from his enemies the oppor
tunity to suspicion against him by false re-
ports of their unknown contents. Mr.. Blaine
evidently thinks he do this by showing the let
ters privately to his friends and TO others. In the
committee-room to-day he offered to read them to
the Chairman and said that be should exhibit them
within the week to 200 different persons 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this publicity is sufficient
to silence all adverse criticism based upon these
letters
