GEN. MCDowtLL ON THE SoUTu In
the recent testimony of Gen Mcdowell.
Commander Of tho Military Department
of the South. before tue Huuse Mill
tnry Committee. with refereucu to the
proposed reduction os the army, that
"tlicer s"id that it would BE- uuw,so to
make any reduction. Ho gnyo Tho fol-
lowing us q reason for 80 thinking:
There il still much opposition III thr
ounth against the General Government.
aud 1t would be dliIi anlt ior the civil ,u
tnorl'y to execute the laws in some por-
tens nf Tho Snutb, if not for tho pre-
| aeuce "f the Inilitury." Geu Mcdowell
should nave been called upon for spec,ii
cations sustaining this charge. Gen.
Grant gave very different account Of
things III the South, as long vgo NJ De.
cember. 1865. Hu said thai 9TH. mus,
"t thinking men Of the South accept
the present situation of aff .irs in good
talth. What has occurred since To in
validate Gen. Grants testimony? The
South has become more recoucilcd to
her condition than Sue was eight wears
