Title vignette (seal of the city of Boston). It has been fifteen months since the end of the war, Lothrop points out, and Grant is veering from the path Lincoln had suggested, and no one has yet been tried for treason. "Some measure, some limited temporary measure of political deprivation of political rights, as a political punishment for a political crime, would seem to be deserved by the rebels, and imperiously demanded by the safety and honor of the country... If this be not an axiom in civil polity, a principle inherent in all civil government, I see not how there can be any security against frequent rebellions or insurrections."
