NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.

On the 23rd instant. President Nc
Mahon officially announced the ap.
pointment of the following ministry
to succeed the De Broglie Cabinet
The members of which rendered their
designations fortnight since: Presi-
dent of the Council and Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, Marquis de Bonnie
vile ), Minister of, the Interior, NJ.
Yde Welche; Minister Of Justice, NJ.
LePettetief; Minister of Finance, NJ.
Dutilleul: Minister of Commerce, NJ.
Ozenne; Minister of Public Works,
NJ. Graeff Minister of Public IHstruc-
ton, NJ. Faye Minister of Marine,
Admiral Roussin. This Cabinet is
made up from the factions of the
Conservative party, which supports
the policy of the President, and as a
consequence it proves unacceptable
to the Republican majority in the
popular branch of the Assembly. A
contest between the ministry and the
Chamber is therefore inevitable, and
must end either in the resignation of
the ministers, a modification of the
political status of the Cabinet, or a
second dissolution of the Chamber of
Deputies.
1t is intimated that the new minis
try will endeavor to conciliate the
Deputies by ignoring existing politi-
cal complications and asking merely
for the adoption of a budget to meet
the necessary expenses of the! govern
n,ent, but it is not at all probable
that the Republicans of the Chamber
will consent tp be thus pacifed.

THE SAME OLD EIGHT.

A modest telegram from Washing
ton informs the expectant world that
ex-Marshal Packard of Louisiana
lunched with President Hayes one
day last week, and spent two hours
discussing the situation. The effect
of this momentOus confab upon the
situation is probably to be observed
in the significant report that if the
Senate fails to confirm Col. Etfng-
ham Lawrence for Collector. of the
Port Of New Orleans, during the ex-
ira session, Mr.. Packard will be APP
pointed to fill the, position. As Col.
Lawrence is deemed the political rep.
resentative of ex Coy. Warmoth, the
sudden willingness of Mr., Packard to
accept this Office at the hands of the
President indicates a continuation of
the, old Packard Warmoth quarrel,
which, was prominent cause of the
decentralization of the Republican ar
ty in Louisiana. Having fought Until
all the meat has been dovoured, the
contest is continued over the bones
of the political corpse. We can
not see, however, that the people of
Louisiana have much interest in the
squabble, one way or another. The
