The Governor's Message—Removal of Dis- abilitiesState Finances. Br. Louis, Jan. 6, 1870, Governor McClurg in his message calls attention to the peaceful condition of tne State, and in view of this fact he asks the consideration of the expedi- ency of removing political disabilities from those who participated in the rebellion. He does not think it necessary to amend the constitution to effect this, as the con- stitution now provides that the Legislature Iagy remove such disabilities after January 1, 1871. He recommends that this be mad question for discussion in the canvass next fail. so that canai- dates for the Legisiature may run, in part at least, upon this issue. He opposes a convention for the revision of the constitution, but recommends sub- mitting to the peopie the proposition to allow negroes to vote, and another striking out from the constitution what is known as ‘‘the double liability The debt of the State in 1869 was $3,000,000. The generai financial condition is favorable, but the Gov- ernor urges strict economy. The interest on the bonds for July is already provided for; that of Janu- ary following can easily be arranged. There ia now in the Treasury nearly $600,000 which belongs to the interest fund. The principal of the bonds maturing in 1872 amounts to $477,000, and that of 1873, of $880,000, can also be promptly met. During the past year 360 miles of railroaa were built, and 1,036 miles are now io course of construc- tion. The public school fund amounts to over $1,600,009, and the schools throughout the State are pros erous. The Governor urges the adoption of he fifteenth amendment immediately on the receipt Of an attested copy from Washington, and closes with the admonition that the nation is preserved that r&ognizes in righteousness that the Most High Fuieth in the Kingdoms of men.

Mr. Lorillard has blown up ana destroyed his Yacht Meteor, which was recentiy wrecked noar Touls, Northorn Africa, , NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1870. WASHINGTON. Discouraging Reports Cuba. from je EERE Mismanagement of the Cuban Junta in New York. Causo of the Failure of the Revolution. The Privateer Anna at Charleston. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 1870 Discouraging Accounts from the Cuban Pa- triota—The Sentiments of the President, There are two sides to the Cuban as well a8 to all other stories, From a high oficial source I have to-day heard a number of facts, which, if reliable— and I have every reason to credit them—throw a flood of light upon the real situation tn the “Ever Faithful Isle.” ‘The facts alluded to are based upon oMicial information from our agents in various parts of Cuba, as well as from private letters received here and elsewhere, from parties whose opportunities for obtaming accurate knowledge of the progress of the civil war are such as to guarantee perfect Teliability. The inference to be drawn from these despatches and letters—and I state it with regret— is that the revolution of the patriots is on its last legs. ‘fhetr forces aro reduced to a mere handfui of armed and unarmed men, who are carrying on a pre- 4a tory warfare, merely prolonging the struggle in the forlorn hope that something may yet turn up to help (heir cause, and that then tneir little family may be made the nucleus from which will gather the dis- Pirited patriota in every part of the isiand. The revolutionary party, according to my information, 1a now driven out of every stronghold which » few months ago it possessed. I holds not @ single town on the islana, and 1s compelled to confine itself to attacks upon the Spaniards slong the narrow roads and bridle paths. Further, 1 learn that intercepted letters show that the Junta itself is badly demoralized and distracted by inter- nal dissensions, which cause all its expensive efforts to aid the patriots to eventuate in failures and dis- asters. Some of these letters indicate that jealousy and petty wrangles about precedence and leader- stip are the cause of chese dissensions. For in- stance, one member of the Junta writes to @ friend in Cuba that “Lemus is a weak, inefficient, ambitious and pompous official, who is so inflated vy his own importance as to sink every other consideration on the altar of vanity and seif-interest.” Another letter calls Aldama @ traitor. Still another describes him ag being “simply a money bag, stuffed full of gold, and without an atom of sense or discretion.” Nearly every member of the Junta ts abused by some one or other of his colleagues in the flercest manner and characterized by the vilest epithets, Worse still, some of the Cuban generals write to their friends in New York that they have no confidence in their men, and one of them proposes a surrender to the Captain Genera!, This last fact I am assurrd w beyond question, although it has been so often denied since its first announcement in the newspapers. Tne letter of this dispirited genoral has been exnibited at the State Department, and 1 known to be genuine, but for obvious reasons will not be made public for the present, At the State Department the failure of the Cubans 1s considered to be due to the ineficiency and blundering of the Junta. At an early stage of the revolution Seior Lemus, in an interview with Seoretary Fish, was informea that the Cubans might purchase from our government ali tho arms they could pay for; further, that they might ship such arms as merchandise to any place in tne world in American ships, ana would be protected from search by our government in any place except within the marine jurisdiction of Spain. “You may buy as many arms as you choose, and you may ship them as you would sugar or cotton, and we wiil Protect you,” sald Secretary Fish. “But when you get into Cuban or Spanish waters,” added he, “you must look out for yourselves, There you will have to take the cousequences. But on no account will we permit you to organize an expedition within our territory. You may send passengers to Cuba, but you must not pul arms in their bands, nor send them away froin here as regularly organized forces. You have our sympathy, We would gladly see you win, but you must remember we have a duty to.perform in executing our neutrality laws.” Instead of taking this advice strictly the Cubans not only bought arms, but organized armed expeditions and sent them away from our shores. The whole number of men thus sent or sought to be sent would not amount to one full regiment, it is estimated, so that they ceuld not have contributed much to the cause, even had they all succeeded in making a safe landing. Secretary Fish thinks the Cuban Junta in this re- spect evidenced their lack of sound judgment and business management. By attempting to send away organized expeditions they forced our government into an attitude of hostility to the patriows. The administration felt constrained to enforce the neu- trality laws against its a4ympathies and feelings, ana the result has been that nearly all the expeditious have been crushed by our officials. Secretary Fish 4 of the opinion that the Cubans have not sent away a single cargo of arms unaccompanied by organized companies of filibusters, He also states that both the President and himself were as anxious to siga ® proclamation in favor of tne Cubans as the latter were desirous that one should be issued; but he declares that the reckless management of the Junta deprived them of the opportunity of doing so. At one time the rebellion seemed to be gatning strength rapidly, and a proclamation was actually drawn up and ready to be signed by the President, but disaster after disaster followed, and the Presi- dent was reluctantly compelled to withhold bis sig- nature to the proclamation. The fact that such @ large army was sent from Spain to suppress the rebellion is explained upon the theory that cholera, yeliow fever and general sickness did more to kill off the Spaniards than the Cuban bullets and sabrea. The Cuban Privateer Annie. The Spanish Minister has notified the State De- partment that the steamer Annie, a Cuban privateer, crossed the bar off Charleston harbor yesterday about noon and anchored of Fort Sumter, with a portion of the crew of the Morget on board. The Secretary of State !mmediately notified the Navy De- partment, A revenue cutter, with the United States Marsnal on board, has been ordered down to the suspected steamer.

Her passengers bad engaged passage to Nassau, and allege that they were entirely unprepared to make any aggres- sive movements. The case will be heard wm the United States Court on Friday morning. THE INDIANS. Murder ef Friendly Indians by the Sioux of Dacetah Territory. WASHINGTON, Jan, 6, 1870, Governor Burbank, of Dacotah Territory, forwards to the Indian Ofice @ report anuouncing the killing, November 3, of three Arickarees, two women and one man, and the wounding of a young girl, by the Sioux, supposed to belong to the Grand river agency. ‘The party had been gathering fuel six miles above the village and were floating down the river on a buffalo boat, when they were fired upon from the bank by a large war party of Sioux. Aiter killing tne Indians the party fired the prairie at many places, down as far as Knife river, thus driving all the game out of the country and destroying the pasturage for thetr herds this winter, ‘The damage caused by the raid will reach $10,000, The agent fears that a number of cattle will have to be killed to avert the deplorable condition of affairs that prevatied last winter, and says he will not hesi- tate to prevent starvation by the sacrifice of the herd unless otherwise ordered. ‘The man kilied by the Sioux was one of the best hunters in the tribe, and his death 1s a severe biow to maoy dependent upon him for meat. The Indian attacked belonged to a tribe very friendly to the whites, and the Sioux have, on many occasions, visited ther abuse and outrages upon PENNSYLVANIA, Fatal Railroad Accident—Two Men Killed. MILTON, Jan. 6, 1870, William P. Marr and Henry Boyle, while ariv- ing across the track of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad near this place, were run over by the cars and beth killed. Boyle was @ sou of Genera! Boyle, ot Kentucky. Both were young men and members of @ college in New Jersey. NEW YORK. ‘Two Men Drowned in Lake Erlv. BUFFALO, Jan. 6, 1870. The bodies of Leonard Crooker, the well known lessee of the New York Central Cattle Yards and his hired man, Henry Webb, who perished in the storm on Sunday night last, returning home trom church, were found this afternoon. The bodies were found on Crooker’s own field, covered with ice, sand and driftwood, where they had been washed and drewned by the tidal wave which broke over the turnpike road near the iake shore, about 300 feet trom where his horse and buggy were found afew days since. . THE NEW PREFET OF THE SEINE. Some days ago the cable reported that Napoleon had telegraphed for M. Henri Uhevreau to come to Paris, and at the time we were of the opinion that it was intended to appoint him Préfet of the Seine, in place of Baron Haussmann, whose retirement from that position became inevitable afier the concessions made by the Emperor to the Corps Législatir, The cable this morning announces bis appointment to this, probably the most important position in France. M. Chevreau was bora at Belleville, in the depart- ment of the Seine, on the 28th of Aprii, 1823, and 1s, consequently, still in the prime and vigor of life. Histather, who died in 1854, and was at one time a school teacher at Saint Maud, was a member of the Corps Légisiauf. For some time after compleung his education he engaged in literary pursuits and pubilshed, in connection with M. Laurent Pichat, a volume of pocuwy entitled “Les Voyageuses (1344-8), in 1843 he was @ candidate for the Constituent Assembly, and was deieated because of his lacking a few days of the age necessary tor eligibility to a seat. From the start he showed bimself a warm partisan ot Louis Napoleon, whose candidature for the ofice of President received bis active and enthusiastic support. Un the loth of January following he was rewarded for his devotion to the interests of the newly elected chief of the State by his appointment as Préfet of the ardéche, al- though he was then less than twenty-six ears old. In this capacity all his energies were ns to the successful achievement of the coup @etat, and after the establishment of the empire he was further rewarded with the bene of Secretary General to the Minister of the Interior and of Agri- culture and Commerce. As such he performed zeal- ously all that was required in bis apnere of duty for the carrying out of the imperial policy, Shortiy after retiring from the prefecture of the Ardéche he was elected @ member of the General Council of that department and served with credit. Appointed Counsellor of State, M. Chevreau was, mm 1853, charged to aid the pian of the budget before the Corps Légisiatif, but in consequence of some difficulties of detuil and differences of opinton with M. de Persigny he retired trom the Ministry, &nd was appointed Préfer of the Department of Nantes in 1855. This position he held until 1660, when he was made Prefetof the Loire Inférieure, and in 1864 Prefet of tne Rnone. During this latter year he was again made Counsellor 01 State. in 165 M. Chevreau was appointed a Senator of France. He is a Commander of the Legton of tlouor, AS Will be seen from the foregoing sketch he is one of the most devoted adherents of the Bonaparte fam- ily, and if @ liberal is so because Napoleon desires it. He is, however, a man of decided ability and of great energy of chi ‘acter. EUROPEAN MARKETS. LONDON MONEY MARKBT.—LONDON, Jan. 6—4:30 P. M.—Consols closed at 9274 for money and 92% for the account.

The Excise Repeal Bill to Come Up on Tuesday—Delay in the Appointment of Metropolitan Officials—Re- cess of Both Houses Until Tuesday, ALBANY, Jan. 6, 1870. The action of the Legislature yesterday in re- scinding the ratification of the fifteenth amendment has exctto@ no surprise here among members of either party, The passage of the resolution Iast session Was a purely party action. So was the work of yesterday in annulling it by the party now in power, The republicans did not anticipate so early an introauction of this measure and were taken by surprise, They naturally declared the action pre- cipitate, but after all, as the thing was Inevitably to be done, it is as well that it should be out of the way of legislation. ‘The laboring man’s interest will form a consider- able part of the work of the session. The bili intro- duced by Mr. J, R. Hennessy, of New York, yester- day, for an amendment of the Conspiracy law, refers only to the protection of trades unions, so that these organizations may not be regarded as conspiracies, nor held amenable to the penalties of the law.

He suc- ceeded, however, in getting the\bili ordered to be printed and on file by Tuesday, when it will pro- bably come o for discussion without delay. ‘The Motion of Mr, L. D. Kiernan to-day todivide the mate. rials of the Governor's m¥ between the different committees, with instructiyns to report as soon as possible, found great favor as 4 measure, His resolution ago to bring up the tax levies aud other important ills at an early portion of the session was adopted at once.
