Clarion-Ledger clipping

What is the matter with the Republican leaders? We referred the other day to the prosecution of a son of Isham Stewart, the African Republican prophet of Noxubee, on the charge of violating the law provided for the punishment of Ku Klux conspirators, and now we have information that complaint has been lodged against Ex-Congressman Mullins, a prominent Radical in Tennessee, in the Circuit Court of Franklin county by a freedman that he had been hanged thrice to a tree by a party headed by the said Mullins. As justice is impartially administered in Tennessee, it is probable that Mullins will get his desserts.
