OPENING LETTERs.-Some three months
ago 1t was discovered that letters were being
opened by some one connected with the City Post
Office, and Postmaster Bowen Immediately went
to work to and out the guilty party. After some
time one Of the young letter carriers was sus.
picioned, and a decoy letter was put out, which
was continued every day until yesterday, when
the young man was asked about certain letters.
He positively denied any knowledge Of them,
when, at the very moment Of denial, 1t was
known they were In his possession.
The postmaster then Informed him that he
would have him arrested, and the young man
felt that falsehood and duplicity would no longer
avail him. lie then proposed meeting In MIR.
Bowen's private room. II was granted. Then
and there he voluntarily made this confession;
Posr OFFICE, wAsIIsaroS CITY, D. c.,
December IL, 1865. (
hereby acknowledge that have opened about
twenty letters addressed to persons on my route,
(all north Of l street, between Fifteenth and
Twenty second streets,) as letter carrier; that
have been doing this between three and four
months; that have sealed up and delivered, or
returned to the post Office all Of said letters, ex
cepting one hich contained hye dollars, and
spent II that opened letter since the time the
above named twenty were opened, addressed to
Miss Priscilla A. T. Thornton, L street, between
Nineteenth aBd Twentieth, Washington, d. G.,
which letter kept in my drawer, or on my per-
son, till 1t was demanded by the postmaster ;
that 1t contained sixty 1.-TWO dollars In money
that also opened letter about the same time
Of the last, addressed to J. V. W. Wilson, Twen- =
tieth street, near X and L, Washington, D. G.,
which letter contained sixty dollars; but on
suspicion that It was a decOy, sealed 1t up again
and delivered 1t to Mr.. Bell his calling for It
that make this statement Of my own accord
and that was led into these crimes from the
effects Of drinking spirituous liquors, which
intend hereafter to avoid.
Signed, L. X. BULL.

OPINION DELIVERED BY PIKE, j., JULY s, 1854

A sheriff having sold certain lands for taxes
and having afterwards taken an assignment of
one half OF the lands so sold from the purchaser
to hinseif. the sheriff was properly made
party to a bill flied by the original owner o.
the land to set aside the tax sale. r. ~
The answer OF the purchaser at the tax sal,
having set up that the transfer from himself to
the sheriff was rescinded soon after il was made
this was matter in avoidance W hich the defen-
dant must prove. --. . sH
But it could not be proved by the sheriff,
he being necessary and proper party, and in
terested. . - 1 -T'4 .''H '- - -

III and the purchaser Were parties III the pur-
chase, and Jointly interested therein, and the

pursuance of any previous understanding, the
answer herein was directly responsive to the
bill. and being uncentradicted by testimon Y /.
stands as if proved. .s .-.i'i- ,A mon
A tax deed is by law, evidence of the truth Of
its own rectals.

purchase of any lands at tax sale is liable 10
penalty of i've thousand dollars to be recover

es that the sheriff was interested in the pu chase
of certain lands, without any allegation that by
the combination between the sheriff and the
purchaser it was Intended to prevent competi-
ton in bidding, or that such was the effect, OF
that any other person did bid, or desire TO bid
for themselves, this docs not amount to u
charge of fraud. D-A--
