Ms dam for Hay** aa« (he Heal ■piracy CkargM. 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 8g BMr8t—Tluit the count should not 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 fied by Matthews and Evarts to get ° U CbandIer proceeds at great length noticing, among other things, the appointment of Key when the I denounced ids title as fraudulent to the Postmaster Generalship.

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 minute in Fourteen’s engine house— unless they are at a fire now and 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.” IT.OIA TRSrI.1 SUB.

Her sire was One-eyed Hunter, who was by Kentucky Hunter, and her dam was Madam Temple, who was got by a spotted Arabian horse owqgd at that time by Mr. Horace Terry and brought from Dutchess county, New York.

Her 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 gray- mare Son tag defeated her in 1855 and she lost a twenty-mile heat against lime through easting n shoe. Alter defeating Tacony, Ethan Allen and Lancet, in her con tests in the next two years, and having attained a 2.24j record, Mr. William McDonald, a wealthy-Balti morean, bought her for $8,000, and thirteen victories crowned they record. In 1850 she defeated Ethun Allen anil the great California mare Princess. The latter won the second race, but Flora never allowed lier any other revenge. In tlie race at Kala- mnzoo, Mich., for $2,000, against Princess, she made the astonishing time for those days of 2.194, and after another victory over Princess and Ike Cooke, and at the Union Course. November 21, in harness, against George M. Putehen under saddle, made £.28 and 2.23, tlie third heat going to Patclien because tlie mare crossed him. The concluding heat was run after dark, and although Flora won It was not given her. Tne postponed race for the next day was not run. She defeated Ethan Allen at Union Course, November 24. Her victory in the spring of 1860, over Patclien, at Union Course, in 2.21, 2.24, 2.21J, was said to be her beet. Patclien "won the two-mile race at Union Course, but she beat him in the one-mile und two-mile races ut Philadelphia, and again at Union Course, and also defeated Brown Dick lit Fonda. August 28 she won a $1,500 race over Patchen at Boston, and also beat Ethan Allen at Kala mazoo, but failed to beat Dutchman’s time afterward ut New York. She then made a tour with Patchen. In 1861 John Morgan was the only com petitor who offered, and he was beaten in one-mile and two-mile races, the best time being 2:244. The Government confiscated her in 1861 because of her owner’s secession sym pathies, and her trotting days were ended. McDonald died in 1864, and Mr. Welch, of Chestnut Hill, bought her for $8,000, and her last public ap pearance was at Dubois’ track, when General. Grant reviewed tlie greut trotters. Her hind legs failing tier soon after, she was thenceforth kept for breeding. ■ - -—*--*--* THE GAME OE EAMO. Twelve Men Who Knew All About It— One Mnn*» Prejudice.

Tlie following were tlie experiences of tlie twelve: Juror No. I—Have played u little; lost $1,200 ut a sitting once, at Simp son's Corner; bad won tlie money at poker tlie night before; won it of the fellow who dealt; have no prejudice against tlie game. it was—and in about two days han’t a red. The remaining five jurors related their experiences in a most affecting manner, und but one man was found who had any prejudice against the mime. He said he never W'on a bet 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.

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 ?

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.
