Sir Stafford Northcote de? clares positively that the aommisaionera did understand that the promise was given that olaims for indirect damages would be withdrawn. Granville also read a letter from Mr. Sohenok, the American Minister, affirming the sup? plemental article as amply sufficient to exclude iudireot olaims, and authorizing the statement to bo made as coming from Washington, that the article is a final settlement of the question of said olaims. The announcement was received with cheers. Lord Derby said this put a new face on the matter, and he thought the debate ought to stop. [Cheers.

Tbe following is the veto message: To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES: I have the honor to roturo herewith Sen? ate bill No. 569, entitled "An Act for the relief of Thomas B. Wallace, of Lexing? ton, in the State of Missouri," without my signature. This claim, for which $11,250 are appropriated by this bill, is of the same natuie and character as the olaim of Dr. J. Milton Best, which was returned to the Senate, on.the 1st inst., without my signature. The same rea sous wbioh prompted the return of that bill for reconsideration, apply in this case, whiob also is a claim for compensa? tion on accouut of the ravages of war, and comes under the same general prin? ciple of both international aud municipal law-that all property is held subject not only to bo taken by the Qovernmeut for public uses, in which case, under the Constitution of tho Uhitod States, the owner is entitled to part compensa? tion, but also subjeot to be temporarily occupied, or even actually destroyed, iu times of great publio danger, and wheu the public safety demands it; and in the latter case, Governments do not admit a legal obligation on their part to compen? sate the owner. The temporary occupa? tion of, injuries to, und the destruction of property, caused by actual aud ne? cessary military operations, are generally considered to fall within the lust men tioued principle; and if a Government I makes ootnpenBatiou under such circum? stances, it is a matter of bounty rather than of strict legal right. If it bo doomed proper to make compensation for snob loues, I reuow my recommendation, that provision be made by geueral legislation for all similar claims. (Signed) U. S. GRANT.

He had been a valued member of the oldest and all the courses in the North. In Now Orleans, ou the 28th ult., James Sundford, an old admirer of ail sporting amusements, died, in the seventy-second year of his age. He was born in New Jersey, but after a long residence iu New York, ! journeyed to the South, where he found valued friends. His name was known throughout the United States as one cou nee ted with all recognized sports, and his death will be regretted by many. We banter any County in the State to show as clear tux books as Union does, so far as tax on real estute owners is con? cerned. The poll tax is mach behind, but even in that the white delinquents are very few. Tho migratory habits of the colored people make it almost im? possible for the Treasurer to find them in one place long enough to serve an execution upon them, sud often, wheu found, there is nothing to attach. While the negroes, being in the majority, levy the taxes upon the County, they do not pay a fiftieth part of those taies. I Union Times. ? ? ? J. Henry Burch, a oolored delegate from Louisiana, now iu Philadelphia, who hos been interviewed, says: "War moth, who leads the Greeley interest there, baa been nominated for Governor, with Pincbback for Lieutenant-Govern? or, which virtually places the State in the possession of the Greeley party. Lieutenant-Governor Pincbback has a strength of a personal charuoter that is not to be ignored." Ten Virginia priuters were discharged from the Government printing office at Washington, on Saturday last, because they were Democrats. If a white em? ployer in this Couuty were to discharge a negro because be was a Republican, a warrant, a deputy United States Marshal and a squad of soldiers would be sent for him, and a bond of about 82,000 or im? prisonment the penalty.-Union Times.

Douglas?, burned recently in Ro? chester, New York, is described as an elegant mansion, with barn and out? houses, on Douglass Hill, in the Buburba of that city. The building was erected by Mr. Douglass twenty-two years ago, and hos been occupied by bim as a resi? dence since that time, lt was built of wood, and was an easy prey to the de? vouring element. Mr. Douglass and family are in Washington, but the house was occupied by his son-in-law, W. Sprague, and family, who had a narrow escape from death, so rapid was the pro? gress of the fire. The furniture saved was but of small value, excepting the valuable library and private papers. A cow, worth 8100, and the coaches, bug? gies, harness, ka., in the barn were con? sumed, but Mr. Sprague succeeded in rescuing the horses. The fire originated in tho barn, and was undoubtedly tho work of an incendiary, as there has beeu no light used in this building since lust winter. Mr. Douglass' residence was surrounded by a beautiful grove, which was entirely destroyed. $11,000 in United States bonds, which wt- in the i house, were burned. IMMIGRATION-MISREPRESENTING TUE SOUTH.-The tide of immigration to thia oonntry from Europo baa from tho very beginning been directed chiefly to the North aud Weat. So t-oanty has been | the flow to the South that the popula? tion there remains in the main almost BB free from admixture with foreign ele? ments as it was in the colonial era. That the South had a olimate and physi? cal advantages not inferior to those of any other section; that it possessed ex? clusively the peculiar agricultural sta? ples which formed thu chief basis of American commerce, seemsd to be either unknown or uncared for by the great majority of emigrunts. A country hav? ing as large a territory as Great Britaiu, Frunce, Austria, Prussia und Spain com? bined, a fertile territory, whose staple productions nono of those groat coun? tries oould grow, with 3.ODO miles of continental shore linc, so iudeuted with bays and crowded with islands that, adding the shoro Hues, there aro 12,000 in all-this great country, penetrated by tho mighty Mississippi, itself tho reci? pient of 36,000 miles of tributary streams; that such a country as this should look iu vain for immigration is a phenomenon which caa only bo ac? counted for by the peculiar bar which slavery iuterposed during its existence to settlors from Europe, and the force of tho prejudices engendered thereby, aud sedulously cultivated before and since the war by enemies of the South, who have spared no pains to misrepresent tho character of the population, aud eveu the ualural advantages of tho coun? try. The Northern und. Western States, iu their eagerness to seuure and even to monopolizo immigration from Europe, have not hesitated to exalt all that apper? tains to their own section, whether of character, soil or climate, ht the expense of all thut is Southern. They do not hesitate to report Seathern society as depraved, brutalized and ferocious nuder tho influence of slavery. They describe that part of the population which was once slaveholding as brutal and vindic? tive, whilst the non-sluvebolding are stigmatized as baso and void of all intel? lect. They seek even to recommend the wiutry rigors of their own clime by de? claring that in the South "the hot sun would not lot a white laboring man live." Having the means, through their press and emigration ?gouts, under the auspices of selfish speculative enterprises, und I the great number of Northern travelers iu Europe, to obtain a hearing on thut continent which the South has not, they have succeeded, until lately, in poison? ing almost all tho sources of information concerning Americu wbioh Europeans have, aud enlisting the press of Europe in the dissemination of* false intelli? gence. Not only this, but opposition to emigration to the South ?a said to be per? fectly organized in the emigrant-sending countries of Europe, through the work? ings of Western and Northern emigra? tion agents, representing either Stutei or private land oompauies aud railroad lines, which are in possession of vast territories unrightfully given them at the publia expense. lu u very able series of articles contributed to the Southern Ma? gazine, of this city, by Col. F. Schalter, of Athens, Ga., we find Borne extracts from various foreign journals, all iu the spirit of the following, from a Danish journal: "We again warn them against emigration to the Southern States of America, for the men who go, either voluntarily or bound by contract, to those States, run into the abyss of the most frightful destruction, and will likely become slaves worse than ever were the black slaves." It is even asserted that societies and Grins in this section, composed of men who make money from the Southern people, use direct influence to misrepre? sent their social and political condition, and hinder their efforts to secure immi? gration. Some of the leading German papers, however, are now taking a more intelligent view of the subject, and plac? ing before their readers the inducements and facilities offered by the South to emigrants. A primarj condition of suc? cess in obtaining immigration is to spread information concerning the South among the European people by moans of such agencies os will command confi? dence, and in such manner as may be least objectionable to foreign Govern? ments, which have found it necessary to establish laws regulating the sphere of action of emigration agencies, in order to proteot their people us far as possible from the fraud, extortion and inhumani? ty practiced upon them by emigration agencies aud companies pursuing their own private aims. Colouel Sohaller con? tends that this can be most effectually doue by establishing State agencies in European countries, and by the gratuit? ous distribution of pamphlets, spread by them, all of which, however, he consi? ders but a small part of what is necessa? ry to be done. There is no doubt that energy and promptness are needed to disabuse the minds of foreigners of the slanders wbioh are industriously propa? gated against the South, including Ma? ryland, which, according to a book pub? lished in the interest of some New Jer? sey land speculators, needs to bo "union? ized and emancipated," and within whose borders "education and morals have been neglected and free discussion forbidden." Tho "morals" of the author of that statement can scarcely fit him to sit in judgment on the character of his neighbors, Some measures should bo taken by tho South to protect its reputa? tion from such injurious publications, though it muy be a question whether emigration eau be beat scoured by the Staten io their capacity as Staten, or by County and local associations, aoting in unison, or through intelligent general agents. The success of auy scheme must be largely dependent upon tho capacity and character of tho persons employed to further its objects abroad. [Baltimore Sun. "A woman-scalper Lynched" is tho cheering news from Nevada, ABOUT MARRIAGE RINGS.-Giving rings in marriage ceremonies is supposed to indicato the eternity of the union, see? ing that a circle is endless. The Jewish bridegroom puts the ring on the fore? finger of the bride's right hand, and this is the rule in tho Greek Church also. In the Roman and Anglican, the ring is ? placed on the fourth finger of the wo? man's left hand, the origin of which has boen much disputer!. SirTbos. Browne appropriates a chapter to this inquiry, observing: "Au opinion there is, which magnifies the fourth finger of the left hand, pre? suming therein a cardinal relation, that ' a particular vessel, a nerve, vein or erle-1 ry, is conferred thereunto from the heart, and, therefore, that bath especi? ally honor to bear our rings." Sir Tho? mas then refers to this practice as com? mon not only in Christian but heathen nuptial contracts. Pliny states in the portraits of tho gods the rings were woru on the finger next to the thumb; that the Romana wore them oa the middle linger, as the ancient Gauls and Britons, and some upon the fore fingers, as is de? ducible from Julius Pollux, who names that ring Corlonus. Since, therefore, tho practico differs in various countries, we can scarcely refer it to any natural cause which would alike affect all. Sir Thomas next examines the anatomical details of nerve, vein and artery; adding that inspection does not "confirm a par? ticular vessel iu his finger," and thut "propagations being communicated unto both hands, we have no greater reason to wear our rings on the left than on the right." The Larani Munna], as old as 1CU5, says: "The ring should be so pluced, because in this medicine finger is a certain vein which goes directly to the heart." Among the Jews there sometimes was an exchange of rings, the bride first giv? ing a plain ring of silver, and reoeiving baok a ring of gold. The difference of metal was understood to symbolize an acknowledgment of inequality on the part of the woman. The Very Rev. John Moore, D. D., succeeds the late Dr. T.
