,sH. CHANDELIERS SPEECH.

We prin. from Tie Congressional Globe OF
Saturday the full official report OF Mr.. CnAND'
LER's speech in the Senate last Wednesday on
part OF the Union. This speech is made up Ill
GOOD par. of the sworn testimony Of Generals
ard other witnesses examined before the joint
committee of the two Houses on the conduct
of the War. Mr.. Chandler was authorized so
to use that testimony by majority vote OF the
committee Senator Wright of Indiana. one OF
the minority, objected to such use OF it, but
no demur was made on any side to the iuil-
ness and fairness of It's citations, which Is not
embodied in this report.
There are those who query-Why should
this expose have been made at oil! Concedins
it TO to substantially true, why not withhold or
suppress il in tine present emergency But We
will let IKE Times set forth the argument for
suppression, as follows:

-ConccediDg the state Of facts assumed by
Tie Times. we should be inclined to assent 70
very much Of this, though the last sentence
stageer. us. We had supposed thai tho proper
cure "for failure - must be based on a
searching invest. .ation, next relentless re
moysl OF It's Gusts If these are to be rigor-
ously ignored and frowned down, We Go not
see how further failures are TO be precluded.
Bnt the full justification Of Mr.. Chandler g
expcse rests on tie fact that the blame of Gen.
McCiellsn's failure before Richmond has been
laid upOn these who were utterly and indisput-
ably innocent OF it-namely, upon " the Radi-
cal majority in Congress" and upon Secretary
Stanton Ia proof Of this we cite first from
the widely copied letter Of our own CORES.
