FoRElGS SuMMARY.-France, and espe-
cially Paris, continues agitated with regard
10 the Cabinet crisis. While one newspa-
per speaks OF the probability OF the Prcsi-
dent being impeached, the clerical organ
says the refusal Of the Senate to sanction a
second dissolution will leave the President
free to resign, but hopes that he will not be
eager to do so, and that his devotion to the
country will suggest loftier and tirmer
resolution. This Is rather suggestive Of a
coup d'<tat. President MacMahon received
a deputation from the Vosges yesterday.
They complained Of the depression Of trade.
resulting from the unsettled condition OF
affairs, and asked him to place himself in
direct communication with the moderate
Republicans. he assured the deputation
that he was actuatcd BY the best intentions,
and would do nothing that was not dictated
by his conscience. The crisis Is still I'M

The WoRKISGAEN'S PARTIAL the rally
in Washington on Wednesday night Hon.
]. Amber Smith. OF Virginia, was speaker.
He said that he felt that Nil true citizens re-
cognzed the truth Of the motto that work
ingmen should cut loose from both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. The only hope for
the workingmen was for them to combine
and have the politicians Of both parties
knecl to the workingman's party. He be-
lieved that they should follow up this meet
ing. They should come out again and
again, and let all the world know that the
workingmcn OF America intended to rule
America. 1t was only for the laboring man
to say that labor should be honorable, and
they would find capital knuckling to labor.
This meeting would not get them their
rights; they would have to get them by
persistent efforts.

4 SUSPENSION OF THE NOMINATION BUsI-
SEss.-Secretary Evarts is reported this
morning to have stated 10 congressman who
called upon him to recommend some foreign
appointment that the Administration had
pretty nearly concluded that it was useless
to make any more nominations, that the
Senate would not confirm anything, and that
the President saw little use in sending names
to that dignitied body for rejection. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Evarts said, in case Of vacancy,
where there was urgent need OF an officer,
an appointment might be made; but the
conclusion was almost reached not to make
any more nominations. II this decision is
made senators who have been opposing the
Administration will be disturbed, as they
all want appointments Baltimore San.
