STAINING AFFAIR-A most unfortunate case
of stabbing occurred says the Mohonipg Reg
ister, at Garfield on Wednesday evening Of last
week. There had been an exhibition of the
Society of the Academy at the Court House,
aud after the exhibition closed and the audience
had left, some young lads and bogs remained in
the ball of the building. Stories are co1tradic-
tory as to what occurred previous to the stab
biog, but, for some cause. Samuel Oil, youth
OF abot fifteen, assaulted Orange Fales Of about
the same age, and stabbed and cut him so Sc.
verely that he has been in critical condition
ever since, and it is thought be cannot survive.
Que cut, in the left breast, penetrated to the
lung, as was visible when he breatbed. An
other cut, OIL the left side Of the face. reached
from near the temple to the lower part OF the
jaw, cutting into the cheek bone. He was
caught by some OF bis mates, as he was about
falling, and carried into The Recorders Office
Surgical assistance was called as soon ns posi-
ble, and his wounds were dressed. Obi retreat
ed immed stely after the afray, but was pur'
sued, and arrested on bis way home, aud
brought back. He was afterwards arraigned
before Justice for the offence, and bis father
has given bail 10 the sum of three hundred dol
lars for his appearance at Court. The affair
has caused deep sensation and aids another

The Springfield Repubiicas thus exul's 10
view of the election OF Lincoln aud Johnson:

Inc cpriuBhoiu HcphoucdA Snus eAu'" ="
view OF the election Of Lincoln aud Johnson:
The reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln decides
that the war shall be prosecuted on the
emancipation policy till the rebellion is
suppressed. 1t does not determine that
the war shall be prosecuted till slavery is
absolutely destroyed. But the utter des
tructiou Of slavery was determined, never.
the less, by the elections on Tsesdsyl The
gain Of Republican members is sufficient 10
more than complete the two thirds neces.
sary 10 pass the Constitutional amsndment
which will DO adopted by the next Congress,
the people will rstify it with eAgerness
delight the moment they can get at it,
Thus will slavery DO legally and constitu-
lioually abolished throughout the Union. -
This result Of Tuesdays effort Is even more
important 10 its Ultimate consequences thsn
the reelection OF Mr.. Lincoln. 1t is the
growing glory Of the peaceful victory OF
the day. 1t is a triumph for all time. II
settles the vexed question which has
brought war, bloodshed and debtupon the
nation, and preclodes the possibility Of an.
other rebellion in behalf Of slav,ry. The
grand triumph is nearly compleIed. Let
as thank God and push on.
