The New York Herdlds views of POpu's
history Of his campaign In Virginia are 30 per-
fectly in harmony with those We expressed IN
tho REPUBLICAN Of Saturday, that We give them
place in our columns:
To any one who has had the patience to wade
through the columns of Irrelevant matter aC-
Cepted as evidence before the Porter and Me-
DOwell courts Of inquiry, there will be little
that 10 new In the statements put forward In this
report. all the facts and circumstances that
could tend TO place Gen. POpes management
Of the brief and disastrous campaign during
which he held the command Of the Army Of the
Potomac In a more favorable light before the
country we're brought out during those lnvesti-
cations. If they failed to alter the conclusions
Of the public as TO his unftnoss for the position
TO which, unfortunately for us, he was assigned,
neither will this deliberately prepared defence
Of himself any the more affect them.
The venue has been changed, but the verdict
will remain unaltered. II anything, its adverse
character will be strengthened by the persistent
efforts of the writer to cast upon others the
blame Of his own shortcomings.
All true friends of General Pope will regret
that he hat beon tempted into publishing thls
report. Consigned TO the archives of the War
Department, 1t would have slumbered there
harmless memorial Of the lndiscrotion which
forms so prominent feature of the writer's
characters but, Guug thus broadcast to the
world, with its strong evidences of personal
Tancor and recklessnoss of assertion, 1t Ger
tAinly will not tend 10 weaken the Impressions
created by his bombastic orders Of the day and
his disastrous military blum lers.
