Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, December 20.—Wm.
E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, of
the Republican National Committee,
has addressed an open letter to the
Republicans of his State, making
mention of numbers of explicit state
ments concerning bargains made du
ring the electoral count, and their
fhlflU
ment by the adoption and pur
suance of the President’s Southern
policy. Mr. Chandler asserts the
Republican party, by the advice and
procurement of Governor Hayes
made the ; necessity of keeping
Federal power in Republican bunds oy.
and using it for the protection of
black and white Southern Kepubli-
cans. The main issue of the Presi
dential campaign, Chandler sayB, the
“bloody shirt,” us it is called, was
fully waved, and Governor Hayes,
himself, urged the public men to put
forward as our best argument, the
dangers of rebel rnle and
a solid South. Chandler quotes
several expressions from Hnyes’ let
ter of November, 1H70, when Hayes
thought himself defeated, and said:
“I do not cave for myself, but I do
care for the poor colored men of the
South. * * * * The
Southern people will regard the Con
stitutional amendments as nullities,
and then the colored man’s fate will
be worse than it was when he was in
slavery. * * * * That
Is the only reason that I regret that
the uews is as it is."
Chandler proceeds: Gov. Hayes
not only pledged himself to protect to
the full extent of Federal power
Hfo, suffrage, and political rights
In the South, but was counted in as
President, only by reason of such
special pledgee given by Senator Sher
man and other Ohio emissaries,
who practically and emphatically
promised that he would recognize
and maintain the lawful State gov
ernments of South Carolina and Lou
isiana, and stand by Governors Cham
berlain and Packard. Chandler am
plifies these statements at length and
proceeds to make elaborate charges:
flAlmost the first act of the new Ad
ministration was to fulfill a bargain
that had been made during the Presi
dential count, by which, if Hayes
should be President, the lawful gov
ernments of Louisiana and South
Carolina were to be abandoned, and
the mob governments in those
States were to lie recognized
and established. Certain Demo
crats in the House of Represen
tatives seeing that by the recurring
decision of the Electoral Commission
and the regular proceedings of the two
houses under the electoral bill which
they had warmly supported, Hayes
would surely become President, con
ceived the liiea of saving something
from the wreck. They had,.therefore,
threatened by dilatory motions and
riotous proceedings to break up the
count, and then opened negotiations
with such timid or expectant Repub
licans as they could find. One Henry
Watterson, a member of the House
an d a of Stanley Matthews had
acted as the go-between. Senator
Sherman in the meantime
having visited Ohio and
consulted Governor Hayes on tire one
side, Matthews, Churles Foster, John
Sherman, James A. Garfield, and on
the other L. Q. C. Lamar, John B.
Gordon, E. J. Ellis, Rundull, Gibson,
E. A. Burke and John Young Brown

be broken in the House, but that
Haves should be declared and inau
gurated President; ami, second, upon
Haves’ accession troops should be
withdrawn from Chamberlain and
Packard, and that the new Adminis
tration siiould recognize Wade Hamp
ton and General Nloholls.
After the inauguration the bargain
was fully carried out. Governors
Packard and Chamberlain were noti

The firm was supposed to be

lending money and In gold loans.
It also sold “puts,” “calls,” "strad

failure was announced the office of
the firm was thronged with persons
who held those speculative privileges:
also, with those who had borrowed

Around a red-hot stove in a saloon
in Twenty-fourth street, near Third
avenue, four or five men sat a few
days ago talking—as is the custom in
that resort—of horses. The conversa
tion turned upon some of tlie trick an
imals that had been exhibited in Gil
more’s Garden. Suddenly a putty-
faced man who had not said much,
took off his velvet jockey can and
slapped it upon his knee, anu said
with an air or one who knows what
he is talking about:
“While you are talking about trick
sters, you want to Just remember that
the best trained three In this city, or
out or it, are chewing liay at this

the puffy-faced man put ills velvet
cap back upon Ids bead and looked
around as if ready to answer ques
tions.
What are they doing there, Dan?”
asked a thin man, wlio now and then
pulled ills* finger Joints so that they
snapped like a whip crack.
“Doing? why, they’re the team."
“Somebody was saying that they
could beat six seconds,” said the man
behind the bar, as lie mopped the
shiny wood witli a towel.
‘‘They can. That’s the truth. I’ve
seen ’em do it, and that puts ’em n wav
ahead of any team in the country,”
said the putty-faced man. “They
work like a clock. They don’t take
a step too many, and they Jump ex
actly into their places.”
‘‘Yes," continued the first speuker,
“it’s just got around what they can
do. At first a good many of the teams
wouldn’t believe it. But they do
now. Captain McCabe lias all he
can do, when he isn’t busy, showing
’em off. And it’s gone through the
country among the firemen that
there’s* a team in New York thut can
beat six seconds.”
Tlie Sun reporter crossed over to
East Eighteenth street end Fifth
avenue, and there saw several men
standing in front of No. 14 Engine.
Captain McCabe, tlie foreman, hud
just gone in, and it was believed that
lie would give ills team a little prac
tice, and for this the throng waited.
But there were no signs of it as the
reporter entered. Away back, fifty
feet from the street, three horses stood
in their stalls eating hay. A fireman
was singing the chorus of tlie “Mul
ligan Guard,” and as he began “Then
it’s march, march, march, ’ he kept
time with the pitchfork that he was
using to spread the hay about evenly.
Another fireman was tilted back in a
chair, reading a newspajier by a very
dim light. Captain McCabe sat in the
little space that was fenced off, look
ing over his record book.
“Captain," said the reporter, “are
you going to practice this famous
team of yours now ?”
“Well, no, I didn’t expect to just
yet; but I’ll willingly do it for the
Sun."
“Can they really beat six seconds,
could do it. This puts that compa
ny’s team at the head of all teams in
the country.
“It lias required most careful and
patient training of the horses,” said
("apt. McCabe, us he stroked tne gray
horse’s mane. "The slightest mis
take of any of the three horses would
cost two or three seconds. One of
them slipped one day when the floor
wus wet. It didn’t seem to delay him
any, either, but we found that it made
a difference of nearly three seconds.
I suppose the reason of our success is
that we have splendid animals.”

first regular appearance on tlie turf
wus at Union course, Long Island, in
Septemlier, 1850, defeating Whitehall
and three others in 2.52, 2.55, 2.52,
2.49. In 1853 the most Important part
of her career began. In her first race
at Hunting Park, Block Douglass de
feated her, but she turned the tables
in two subsequent races. Her only
defeats were by Tacony, Black Doug
lass and Green Mountain Maid, but
her victories included seven over Ta
cony alone. The next year Green
Mountain Maid beat her once. Tlie

thirteen victories crowned they
record. In 1850 she defeated Ethun

race, but Flora never allowed lier any
other revenge. In tlie race at Kala-

In ills life. He always coppered and
plaved straight at tlie wrong time.
He’d been calling the turn steady for
two veal's, and never caught It once.
He thought furo was u swindle, but
admitted that be bud been playing it
the nigh! before. He was excused.
George Kritzer, the dealer of the
game, testified us follows: I was deal
ing at the time McCarty came in and
called for some chips. He had won
about $80 when Tome first showed
up ; McCarty hud tlie Jack coppered,
taking in tlie tray and queen—
The Court—Does the jury compre
hend the situation ?
The jurors nodded simultaneously,
and tlie witness continued :
The tray lost and the jack won. So
It was a stand-off, and—
The Court—Is this point clear to
theJury?
The jurors again bowed witli mili
tary precision.
Witness— 1 Then, after two turnR, lie
planked a $20 piece on top of the
chips on the jack, and this man Tome
reached for it. As soon as I saw him
muzzle tlie sugar I sung out, but he
slid oft’nnd wns getting uwav with it
when Officer Hanks snatched him
and made him give it up.
Jailer McCarty related tlie admis
sions of Tome in the jail. He had
admitted taking the money, but ex
cused hiB conduct on tlie ground that
he might as well have it as tlie game.
Tlie jury stood eleven for convic
tion and one for acquittal, and being
unable to agree were discharged, as
was also tlie accused.

The horses were unhitched, and at

This time tile men were in tiieir

As tlie reporter hud timed tho team,
lie had been able only to hear them
make tlie remarkable time, ami on
tlie third trial Capt. McCabe held tlie
clock so that the work could be seen ;
but the effect on tlie eyes was even
more confusing than it hud l>ecn to
the ears. There was an indiscrimi

engines there has been constant ef
