RIGHTS of Prisoners to Mail.

Mr.. j. II. Hyde, postmaster at Lew
istown, Fulton county, ILL.,. wrote let
ter to the postmaster general, asking
for instructions in reference to the
delivery of letters to Thomas Aisbury,
committed to Jail for assault with in
tent to commit murder. The sheriff
demanded that Aisbury's letters be de-
livened to him, and Aisbury wrote a
letter to the postmaster demanding
that his mail be delivered to no one
that did not bring written order
from him (the prisoner). The decision
of the postmaster general is as follows:
Letters addressed to convict sery-
ing term of Imprisonment should be
delivered to the warden or other Of
ficer in charge of the prisoners. Let
ters addressed to q person imprisoned
to await trial upon an Indictment, or
pending Indictment, should be deliv-
cred according to the order of the per-
son addressed, at any time before con-
yiction and sentence. f such a person
is released on bail no question would
arise, as the law .presumes every per-
son innocent until convicted by jury,
and inability to give bail ought not TO
deprive man of the correspondence
addressed to him through the mail.
Until sentence, therefore, letters must
be subject to the order of the person
imprisoned, unless upon Judicial pro-
ceedings authorizing seizure of the let
tiers in accordance with the decision of
the supreme court Of the United States. !"

Letter from japan.

Mr.. EDITOR: After a delightful
ride across the continent, a very
pleasant stay of week in San Fran
cisco, and a somewhat equally voyage
over the Pacific (Which led us to feel
that it WAS wrongly named), we
reached the Land of the Rising
Sun on the morning of October
Goth.
About half past 9, we sailed into
Yokohama harbor, passing Treaty
Point, where Commodore Perry
quietly, firmly and peacefully accom-
plished such a wonderful feat of gen
eralship. We also passed over the
historic waters, where, according to
legendary lore, the famous Yamato
Dake sacrificed his beautiful wife
in order to appease the angry gods
and obtain prosperous voyage and
victory.
AS soon as the ship was anchored
we were assailed by a host of bare
headed, half naked beings in Samp
ans. Such a wild, confusing scene
of clammoring, pushing, pulling and
beating, one has never witnessed un-
til he reaches Japan. The object of
each one was to reach the steamer
first, in order to secure passengers
going a shore. In the confusion We
noticed about half a dozen fall into
the water and come near drowning.
But as soon as they recovered from
the effects of their plunge they
would begin again to call Justify for
some passenger to their boat. While
watching this new and interesting
scene letter was placed in my hands
from Rev. MIR. Knox, of Toxic, ask
ing us to remain on the vessel until
he should meet us. So in due time
our party was piloted to the shore
by friends, and after hay
ing our baggage broken
into and examined rather uncere-
moniously, we took our first jinrik,

BELLE BOID.

During her residence in Washington
Belle Boyd" formed an intimate ac-
quaintance with President Lincoln, and
a friendly correspondence was kept up
between the two during a greater por-
ton of the war. On one occasion her
letter paper was adorned with the Con-
federate motto, a snake entwined around
Confederate flag, and the inscription,
Don't tread on us or we will bite. :"
When Lincoln replied to the missive he
sent back the motto with "bite" erased
and the word "bust" substituted. Brok-
en- down In health and bereaved by the
loss of her father, who had died in the
effort to effect her release from captivity,
"Belle Boyd determined to leave for
foreign shores, and in May, 1864, she
embarked on the Greyhound at North
Carolina as the bearer of important dis
patches from Jefferson Davis and Judah
P. Benjamin to the friends of the cause
in London. In endeavoring to run the
blockade, however, the Greyhound was
captured by United States steamer.
"Belle Boyd was taken to Boston, kept
prisoner for some time, and finally
banished to Canada. From there she
went to England, where she passed the
second epoch of her life. She was mar
ried at the aristocratio church Of st.
James, P;ccadilly, received with open
arms in titled society, became widow,
and finally, having a natural talent for
the theatrical profession, took to the
stage. Probably no person in this coun-
try has been afflicted with so many
"doubles" as this lady. Since her re-
turn to America and marriage to Col. J.
s. Hammond, an English gentleman,
once member of the celebrated "Lou-
isiana Tigers" she has completely sunk
her history with that OF her husband,
and, with the exception OF few occa-
sions, when she has appeared upon the
platform as the talented reader and elo-
cutionist, Marie Isabelle Hammond" )"
her mind has been engrossed with do
mestic affairs. Yet, every few months,
she is vexed and annoyed by coming
across an announcement that 'sBelle
Boyd" the ex-Confederate spy, has
turned up in some part of the country.
Now the pretender is being entertained
by some prominent Southerner; again,
she is in distress and soliciting aid.
Several years ago one of these bogus
"Belles" visited Atlanta, Ga., on lect-
uring tour, and was denounced
by Capt. st. Clair Abrams of
the Neaos, as an impostor. Next
morning she proceeded to the Office and
demanded satisfaction, which being re-
fused she proceeded to draw a couple of
Derringers, but was seized before the
weapons could be pointed. Since that
time she has not turned up in Georgia.
