POLITICAL POINTS.

A Washington Post representative inter
viewed the President the other day, and re-
ports him az follows "He says he has ex-
hausted his powers under the constitution 10
pacify the South to avert the war CT races
which seemed impending at one time, and to
withdraw all obstacles to the normal operation
of the principles of local self-government. He
has put an end to Federal interference, and has
called the attention of Congress and the coun-
try in his message to the results of this action.
Having done this, his power to act is exhaust
ed. He deprecates the efforts which are being
made in various quarters to prolong popular
agitation and perpetuate sectional feeling,
not because Of its reflection upon him or his
motives, but because it tends to exasperate
the people of both sections, and thus to
prevent that clear understanding be-
tween the North and South which If
essential to the restoration Of perfect unity OF
patriotic sentiment. He expresses the belief,
however, that the utterances Of those who, in
their capacity Of managing politicians, are
seeking to stir up strife will not find among the
masses of the Northern people any consider
able responses: that when the Congressional
campaign comes on II will be found that the
people are no longer excitable over those
topics, and that the managing politicians, find
ing no material to work upon. will soon aban-
don their snti-Southern programme. As for
other matters of public policy, Mr.. Hayes re-
marks that he has seen no cause to reconsider
any action Of the past, generally speaking, and
no reason to modify any purposes which he
may have formed or announced at any previous
period Of his administration
