. The photographic history of the Civil War : in ten volumes . egan to fire triumphal salutes,he at once suppressed them, saying in his order: The war isover; the rebels are again our countrymen; the best way tocelebrate the victory will be to abstain from all demonstrationsin the field. After the war General Lee and his officers wereindicted in the civil courts of Virginia by direction of a Presi-dent who was endeavoring to make treason odious, but suc-ceeded in making nothing so odious as himself. General Leeappealed to his old antagonist for protection. He did not ap-peal to that heart in vain. General Grant at once took up thecudgels in his defense, threatened to resign his office if suchofficers were indicted while they continued to obey their paroles,and such was the logic of his argument and the force of hischaracter that those indictments were soon after quashed. Sothat he penned no idle platitude, he fashioned no stilted epi-gram, he spoke the earnest convictions of an honest heartwhen he said, Let us have peace. He never tired of giving.
