WASHlNdTON, May ~.
Governor Garfield has now formal
~ withdrawn his name from the
Ohio Senatorial contest at the request
OF President Hayes. In . letter to
Garfield Hayes states his reasons for
the request, which were mainly that
Garfield would be of more service to
the Administration and the Republi-
can party by remaining in the
House, the President expressing the
belief that his chances for election rs
5 speaker were good.
The President has commissioned
the following Postmasters: William
CHANGER, Astoria, Oregon; James +.
Swan, Modesto, California.
All the members OF the Cabinet,
excepting Secretary Thompson, were
present at the Cabinet meeting to-
day. There il no intimation of any
thing Of more than ordinary impOr-
lance. Attorney General Devens has
officially informed the Secretary Of
War that any Paymasters can certify
to the Government the Indebtedness
20 officers without infringing upon the
law.
In response to the information for
warded by the Lieutenant General
of the willingness OF the Northern
Cheyennes to be moved to Indian
Territory, the Indian Office to-day
requests the War Department to
start them Immediately, ii provided,
1t can be done without any expense
other than that required for rations.

rmE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

Our cable dispatches report stirring
tunes in France. The Ministry has
gone to pieces and President Mcmahon
has prorogued the Chamber of Depu-
ties. The trouble arose in this way:
The Chamber repealed the press law
Of 1875 and President McMahon got
angry about 1t. He thereupon adj
dressed a note to Jules Simon, Minis
ter Of the Interior, censuring him se-
verely for not more etfectually oppos-
ing the repeating bill. Simon then
got his back up and resigned and the
entire Ministry followed suit. A new
Ministry has been gazetted but their
names are not cabeled.
