AN INDIANA OUTRAGE.
a Mnm whipped and Horribly Mutt
lated.

New ALBANY, Ind, Aug. 25.-The
Ledgcf-Standdld this evening gives the
particulars OF u dastardly outrage perpe-
trated in Crawford county in this State
on Sunday night last: A man named
Houghton who with some other men
about one year ago visited the house of a
man named Saltgiver and lynched him,
made up his mind to turn states evidence
and inform on his comrades. lie visited
the town of LeaNenworth and gave an at
torney all the facts and the names OF those
engaged in the outrage on Saltgiver.
This came to the ears OF his old compan-
ions and they organized a band of about
twenty-five, who visited his house on
Sunday night disguised, and forced
open the door of his slcepng-room.
Hougton resisted their attacks and
knocked two OF his assailants down.
They finally overpOwcred him in the
presence of his wife, administered TO him
titty or sixty lashes with hickory wythes,
decorating his body, in a most shocking
manner. In addition these scolln-
drcls wounded and lacerated
his sexual organs in hor-
rlblc manner. After these the Ku-kluX
LETT. Physicians were called, and they
found IIoughton IN "a terribly exhausted
condition, his bed saturated with blood
and suffering intensely. lloughton, fear
ing further outrage, had himsclfrcmoved
to the county Jail on Monday night and
locked up by the sheriff. lie recognized
seven or eight of his assailants and has
given their names to the authorities.
There is a good deal Of feeling in Craw-
ford county in regard to the affair, and It
Is probable that some of the parties will
be arrested and pIInishpl unless tbov

Mrs. LINCOLN.

The illegal lady" of Chicago, who has
spent much time in the Belleview asy-
lum with Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, is Mrs.
Myra Bradwell. This lady and her nus
band, Judge Bradwell, and another
prominent citizen of Chicago" name
not known, express tie opinion publicly
that Mrs. Lincoln is entirely sane, and
has always been so. They consider her
confinement in an asylum I'M
necessary and do not question
her ability to take care of her
self and her effects. The publication of
these opinions upon the sanity of Mrs.
Lincoln Is calculated to inaugurate dis
cussion which must necessarily be very
distasteful to the family and friends of
that unfortunate lady.
To the general public who never came
in contact with Mrs. Lincoln, her repu-
ted conduct, since the death of her hus-
band particularly, gave the impression
that her mind was more or less
affected. The jury TO whom her
case was submitted in Chicago was COM
posed ofsome Of the best and ablest men
ofthe city, who could not possibly have
been influenced: in their decision by any
but purely disinterested motives. Her
son, Mr.. Robert Lincoln, is II young man
who has borne himself with noticeable
modesty and discretion in all the varied
and TOO often narrowing instances which
have brought his family so prominently
before the public. That they, the jury,
and he, the son, should have conspired
