POLITICAL POINTS.

Ben Wade writes a letter denying the report that ho approves tho President’s Southern policy. The question whether members of Iho Republican National Committee come within the scope of tho recent order of tho President forbidding all Government officials from having any connection with political organizations was discussed at a Cabinet meeting in Washington the other day. It was decided that members of the above-named committee who are in the employ of the Government must resign from one of their positions. The conversation between the President and Gov. McCormick, from which a different opinion resulted, was wholly of a casual nature, and not of a decisive character. In tlio New Hampshire. Legislature, the other day, majority and minority reports w ere made by the Committee on National Affairs. The majority report set forth that Hayes was elected President by the people, and so declared bv the Electoral Commission, and that any movement to reopen the question would be both mischievous and contrary to public interests, etc.; tiro minority report recited the withdrawal of troops from South Carolina and Louisiana, and approved the President’s course, etc. The majority report was adopted.
