LONDON, Jane 6.-In the House of
Lords, to-night, Earl Derby read a let?
ter from Sir Stafford Northcote, correct?
ing the statement made by the former in
his speech on Monday, to the effect that
there was no understanding between the
members of the High Joint Commission,
that indirect olaims were not to bo pre?
sented, and that tho commissioners
were, therefore, careless in drawing up
the treaty. 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would be withdrawn.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. I E irl
Granville warned the House that indi?
rect claims had not been withdrawn
from the American case, but that they
would be disposed of by the acceptance
of the supplemental article tn the treat}
of Washington. Bussell then withdrew
his motion for an address to the Queen,
and the debate closed.

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.

Probabilities-The area of cloudy
weather and rain will extend Eastward
over New England, and possibly the
Northern portion of the South Atlantic
States, during to-night. Rising baro?

and olear weather, will prevail very gen?
erally on Saturday, from Tennessee
Northward to Lake Erie and the upper
i lakes, and extend Eastward over the
South Atlantic aud Middle States, dur?

' Saturday night. Clear weather is pro?
bable for the Gulf States.
DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN SPORTSMEN.
James S. Watson, a well-known owner of
racing horses, died suddenly in Now j
York on Saturday lust. 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.

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?

Lieutenant-Governor Pincbback has a

not to be ignored."
Ten Virginia priuters were discharged
from the Government printing office at

they were Democrats. If a white em?

and a squad of soldiers would be sent for
him, and a bond of about 82,000 or im?

FRED. DOUGLASS'Loss.-The house of
Fred. 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.

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.
