Inspired by MacMahon's original proof of his celebrated theorem on the distribution of the major index over permutations, we give a reformulation of his argument in terms of labeled partitions. In this framework, we establish a decomposition theorem for labeled partitions which is analogous to the decomposition of a permutation into derangement points and fixed points. This decomposition implies a reformulation of Wachs's formula concerning the derangement parts and the major index on permutations which was derived in order to present a bijective treatment of Gessel's formula on the $q$-derangement numbers.
