WAsHINaroN, December 27.-Hon
VIM. E. Chandler, the New Hampshire
member OF the Republican National Com.
mittee, addresses an open letter 10 the Re.
publicans Of New Hampshire, in which
he makes number Of explicit and inter.
estinR statements concerning the alleged
bargains made during the Electoral
count, and their alleged fuIIillment by The
adoption and pursuance oil the Prtsi,
dents Southern policy. After referring
10 the declarations OF the Cincinnati Con.
vention and Of Governor Hayes letter Of
acceptance In regard To the protection Of
Southern citizens in The free enj ,yment Of
all their rights, Mr.. Chandler asserts that
the Republican party, by the advice and
procurement Of Governor Hayes, made
the necessity Of keeping the Federal pow.
er in Republican hands, and using Il for
the protection Of black and white South
ern Republicans, the main tissue OF the
Presidential campaign. He says the
"bloody shirt" as 1t Is termed, was
freely waved, and Governor Hayes him
self urged prominent public men to put
forward as our beat argument the
dangers OF rebel rule and solid South.
In this connection he quotes several ex-
pressions from Governor Hayes letter Of
November 8. 1875, when the latter thought
himself defeated and said: ~ do not
care for myself; : but lido care for tn.

leave. The Southern people will
practically treatthe econstitutionala amend
ments as nullitles; then the colored mans
fate will be worse than when he was in
slavery; that ia the only reason regret
that the news is as il is." Mr.. Chandler
then proceeds to state that Governor
Hayes not only pledged himself To pro-
tect TO the full extent OF the Federal
power the lives, suffrage and political
rights Of the Republicans in the
South, but was counted in as Presi.

pledges given by Senator Sherman and

and emphatically promised that he would

THE oHARsEs.
Mr.. Chandler amplifes these statements
at considerable length, and proceeds to
make charges as follows: "Wisdom and
honor therefore, il aeems to me, clearly
required that President Hayes should
maintain his own rightiulness Of the title,
and stand by the men and principles OF
his party. Had he done SO, in my belief
the Democratic cry Of fraud would have
been the mereat Jolly. The Republican
party would have been dominant in every
Northern State, and in several Southern
States, and would have swept the country
In the recent fall elections. Instead Of
all this, what do We see? Almost the
first act Of the rev administration was to

ing the Presidential count, by which II
Hayes should be President the lawful
Governments Of Louisiana and South
CAROLINA were TO be abandoned, and the
mob Governments In those States we're to
be recognized and established. Certain
Democrats in the House Of Representa-
tiyes seeing that, by the recurring decis-
ions Of the Electoral Commission, and
the regular proceedings Of the two
Houses under the electoral bin, which
they had warmly supported, Hayes would
surely be President, had conceived the
plan of saving something from the wreck.
They had, therefore, threatened, by
dilatory motions and rIotous proceedings,

negotiations with such timid or too eager.

their most sanguine expectations. Senator
