Geu. McDowell should havo been called upon furspecitl cations sustaining this charge. Gen. Grant gave a very different account of Illings in the South, us long ago as De? cember, 1865. Ho said that "the tniis* of thinking men of thu South accept the preseut situation of ufTtirs iu good faith." Wbut has occurred since to in? validate Gen. Grant's testimou}?
