VETO BIZ THE PRnsIDENr.-The President
sent message to the Senate, on Saturday,
vetoing an act Tor the relief of Dr.. j. Milton
Best, Of Kentucky, which act appropriated
$1,000 to compensate him for the destruction of
his dwelling house and its contents, by order of
ire commanding officers Of the United States
military forces at Paducsh, Kentucky, On the
18th OF March, 1864. The President withhoIds
bis signature becaase the payment Of this clai m
would invite the presentation Of similar claims
for large sums az money; for the reason that the
government Is not legally bound to paw for
property destroyed under such circumstances:
and finally because there are strong reasons for
believing that the damages in the case OF Best
have been greatly over estimated. The President
further says, that If 1t be deemed proper to make
compensation for such Losses, he would suggest
whether 1t would not be better, by general
legislation, to provide some means for the ascer-
tainment OF the damage in all similar esses and
thus save to the claimants the expense OF atten-
dance upon Congress, and the governmeat the
danger OF having imposed upon 1t petitions or
exaggerated claims supported wholly by es parte
testimony.
