iana ntcricait. C. H. BINGHAM, Editor. -BUOOKVILLE-FTia?y Morninf, Jtne 16, 1871. The Democratic Scylla and Chary bdis. Mr. Orator puff hd two tones in Lis Toice," and consequently, as the affecting narrative iti forms us, (says Ilarper's Weekly,) he could not escape frota the fit. The Democratic party, with t"he fsme vocal variety, is in imminent peril of a simitar catastrophe. Its Northern voice and its Southern voice sing different tunes; and as its ohject is to lull the public into gentle slumber, it is naturally angry to find that Jhe discord only more thoroughly arouses The country. Mr. Vallandigham had scarcely Mnndly alluded to the facts that the goose bung high when Mr. Jefferson Davis savagely retorted that not only did T-e not acvept the situation,' but that he j 'accepted nothing.' So also, while Tarn many Hall complacently heard the praiselavished upon it by the fire-eating Mobile Register, it was confounded by the vigorous ohservaiion of tke same j.iurnal that, of course,'Ttumany would not expect to nominate its candidate! Alas for the 'gtcat statesman' of New York, the execu tivo agent tf the Erie King! Indeed, a more laughable tragi-comica! spectacle has not been lately seen than the present situation of the Democratic party It is engaged in the praiseworthy but not hopeful attempt to dissolve oil in water, and to minale in street silence gunpowder and fire. It is divided into two factions, the Northern and the Southern. The cleverest of the Northern leaders are anxious to break the chain that binds them to the corpse of slavery and to the dis astrous past cf their party a party false to the country, to liberty, and human nature. But they have no platform to propose pxcept acquiescence in Republican action and denunciation of Republicans. This, being a tacit confession of the total failure of their own party and a repudiation of all its traditions, does not warmly commend ifself to the mass of the Democratic voters. It seems to them, and very naturally, an insincere course; and they declare, with animation, that such counsels ar offered by those who have no faith in Democratic principles, and who are, there fore, no better than the enem y. ''If hold ing the o Sees and sharing the public piunder is the only principle involved in the politics of to-day, says a Kentucky Democratic paper, "there is no necessity for keeping up two political org tnizations.' While thus some of the more sagacious Northern Democratic leaders advise ac.qnieseenee in the situation, the Southern chiefs, who have been both the brain and the heart of the party, with scornful and defiant brows insist upon what they call the principles for which the Democracy have always contended. Those principles are really the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of nearly eighty years ago reso lotions which asserts State sovereignty to a point which is incompatible with national supremacy that is to say, the Southern Democratic chiefs insist upon the right of secession. They declare that the 'lost cauee' it traditional Democracy, and that, when you abandon the constitutional principle upon which that cause is justified. Democracy, as a party name, is meaningless. Indeed, thtre are a large number of those who were the sincerest rebels, who lost every thing in the war, and who now insist that, the Democratic principle having been overpowered, there should be no hesitation in abolishing the State Legisla tures, and in establishing 'one right, one government, one law. The ablest of the Southern leaders and papers insist up on the lost caue as the only rational Democratic piatform. And .hfierson Davis, the lst-beloved Democratic leader in the S.uhern S'a'es, deciares io reply to the' new departure' that a liitlo pa ttern waiting oiiy is necessary to secure the victory for which he and his friends "contended. This wss the spirit and these were the chiefs who continued the Democratic par- j ty at the last rresideutial tkcMen. They ' propose ! contest tbf uu-.-tery egain next j year.

agent, says of ttie other great statesman of

its psrty: "Th truth is that Jefferson Davis is not oly a badly beaten general, a failure as an executive head of a resist ing people, a thoroughly whipped rebel, but a politician who stupidly, criminallj (to use the mildest phrase) Wandered " And these be brethren! From all this it is plain, first, that the Northern Democratic leaders are convinced that the Southern voice must be silenced or theparty is already defeated; and second, that they feel much stronger than they did in 1858, and propose not to wheedle but to lash; the recusants into submission. But the fact is none the less evident and significant that the support of the Southern wing is indispensable to Democratic succebs. Therefore if, in the National Convention of the party, Mr. Vallandigham, who in 1864 made the Chicago platform of surrender to the rebels, should in 1872 make another platform of surrender to the Republicans, it would certainly be an occasion of satisfaction to every patriot that the party did not take an or;eniy revolutionary position, but it would as certainly be no ground for supporting a party vtbich contains every revolutionary and disturbing element. The question, as we stated last week, would i Leu be whether a purer administration or greater fidelity to the new order could be mere reasonably expected from the Democratic than from the Republican party There can be little doubt that the Vallandigham platform would help the Dem ocratic party in the Northern States, but it would as surely exasperate the stauchest Southern Democrats. Meanwhile those who are disposed to think that the Dem ocratic party is always handled with adJ mirable sagacity, and that it cau rely upon itsEterti discipline, may refresh their memories with the history of its last three Na tional Conventions in 1860, 1SG4, and 1863, of which it may be said that each surpassed the other in political blunder ing Reaction in France. It would not be strange if a very powerful reaction should set in, now that the Christian religion in- the person of the priests has been so wantonly outraged by the Communists in Paris. The people will now venerate the archbishop who sue ceeds the martyr, and priests will be more respected than they were before the massacre. And it would be well for France if even the horrors of this late tragedy wakes the nation to a sense of its obliga tion to God. Yet it is not likely that anything permanent or pervading will be the result A civil convulsion like this does not produce any moral impression upon a peoplr so volatila and unreflecting as the French. We shall probably hear of no penances, J no fasting and humiliation before God, no return to a sense of dependence on the King of kings. Would that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would study the things that make a nation strong and great. What may be done in regard to the reestabiishment of government io France, is at present all a matter of conjecture, but it would not be at all strange if, after the late experience of anarchy, the leadin men of the nation shoutd be willing to go back to a strong government, one that shall be able to keep down popular out breaks, even though it should be despotic in ifs character. Already do the French people begin to discuss the merits of the various dynasties, and the claims of Bona parte, Bouibou and Orleans llou-es. It is perfectly natural that they should. There is no tyranny more to be dreaded than that of the mob, and the misses of the Fiench people have proved themselves, in their want of religious principle and of self-coutrol. nothing better than a uiob An' form of government, however despot ic, would be better than the Commune which has ha 1 its godless and bloody reign in I arts.

Commencement Week.

Next week the Annual Commencement Exercises wiU take place at Brookviile College. There will no doubt be a large attendance thereupon by the many friends and patrons of that much loved institution. - For order of exercises, see our local columns. Penalties for Drunkenness. The New York Times reverts to Foster's appeal, and remarks that, however censurable may have been its design and execu tion, it has been productive of this much good, that it has drawn forth an almost unanimous expression of public opinion on the crime of drunkenness The record of crime resulting from drunkenness has attained a startling magnitude, and to discourage it is to take the most effectual step for the prevention of crime. But how to do this, says the editor, wi-hout too great an infringement on the right of per sonal liberty, is a rather delicate problem The prohibitory system is not advocated, because it oaly intensifies the natural ap petites by the natural resistance to arbi trary control. With many tne use in variably entails the abuse; how are these to be constrained? The laws for the pun ishment of drunkenness ought to be en forced. But here, again, fays the editor, there is difficulty, for the law contemplates druukenness as a punishable offense only in so far as it is a breach of public order or an encroaehment on the rights of others. liiquor affects different temperaments very d.fferently. Some it renders dangerous; others are merely maudlin, reeling bacchanalians. A single glass, it is remarked, makes one man tipsy, while a dozen would leave another perfectly sober to all outward seeming. Here, too, it justice would be worked Jby a rigid application of the stat ute. Instead of accepting drunkenness as an extenuation, let it be regarded as an ag gravation of anv offense. Ignorance ot the la v excuses no man, and still les should he be allowed to plead ignorance of his own phvsicai vices. Let it be taken for granted tht the drunkeu horn icide knew beforehand that liquor might convert him into a brutal murderer, and let him be punished accordingly. Johnson's Opinion. Ex Presidcut Andrew Johnson, in com mentmg upon the "new departure, is reported to have said: I look for a remedy in the future, and I am not going to say, and no other Detn crat should say, that be accepts the re construction measures and amendments a finalities, and that no attempt will made in the future to get rid of them it a lawful and peaceable manner. W should not commit ourselves to anv eucl absurd doctrine. We should boldly pro claim that we accept these amendment and acts as the law of the land now, bu that we will here af er use every honora hie means to convince the people that ihey should be abrogated and repealed If the people will nof do it. then of cours it cannot be done. But for us to say thai we will forever close our lips against these iniquities is nonsense. The capital of Italy will be removed to Rome on the 1st of July. mm The Mont Ceuis tunoei is now opened to traffic, traius having commenced run uing. There is a response from Connecticut tt the Dcmocra'ic departure. The charter election at Norwich, resulted in the elec tion of a Republican Mayor by 310 ma jority. Last year a Democrat was elected by 350 majority. Republican gain, GGO Paris papers continue to uphold the administration and the policy of Thiers and affirm that monarchy is a synonym tor revolution. They also appear to think that the supplementary elections may possibly change the majority in the as sembly. The idea of burning the bodies of the victims of the civil war in Paris has been abandoned, and ihej will be exhumed from their present burial places in the park o! Mooceaux and garden of Luxembourg and transferred to a new cemetery beyond the viiluge and fort of Vanvres It is to be noticed that the New York V orld has nothing to say against the greenback mill of the Ohio Democratic platform Rut on the constitutional amend mcnts tt rei'eratcs that ,4I)emocrats ano Republicans are as wide asunder as the poles." It adopt the Cincinnati E.iquirer dodge, namely, that ihe great fight is to be on the construction that is to he put on '"-amendments, and not on the amend ments themselves." This is like the pro hibitory liquor laws; the great fight in their case is net on the enactment of the 'Sft lut 011 'he question whether they hall be enforced. Three hundred and sixteen Revenue Assessors have been dispensed with since January 1, and one hundred and fifty mcie go this month. This effects a sav ing of 530,000 a year.

Celebrations. Celebrations are the order of the day with us. Satorday, Jane 3rd, a Temper ance Meeting was held at Qiakenown. It i was only a partial success, owing to a gracious rain falling steadily most of the forenoon. Sundry speeches were made, and said to be very good. Sorry to report that at a temperance meeting some of the baser sort were under the it:flueuce of liquor and gave some annoyance. Fridy. 9 h. ultimo, the Lode of the 1 O O. F had a celebration at Dunljpsville Several Lodges were represented; we suppose about three hundred were in the procession, and quite a number of ladies and gentlemen participated. Hon. Ciem Cory read a very good es-ay, followed by Rev. B F. Foster, io spirited remarks touching the object aud some of the causes for the necessity of the Order's existence; that it had a glorious mission and had more than met the most sanguiue expectations. Rev fF S Turk acted as Chaplain, invoking the blessing of cur Heavenly Father on what was done and said. Duolapsvifle is an old dried up town. There is a sad want of neatness and thriftnes; little or uo busiuess. The school is trying to be revived uoder Prof. Tanner. The church in the village is an old squat ty buildiug one that belongs to the gonebyes, and looks very much as if it were out of its place. Saturday, June 10;h. the Faiifield Methodist Sabbath School had a celebration. Six schools were present; in all, near two thousand people were there. The day was fine, and never a more orderly crowd of people were together. During the entire day not a thing occurred to mar the social ei-joyment of a single person. The programme consisted of the Faiifield Schools singing in concert the opening song. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Golliday. Singing by Colter's Corner School. Singing by Blooming Grove School. Singing by Ireland School (Uoiversalist.) Address by Rev Mr. Wells of Brookviile; subject of remarks, "It is better to obey than disobey." Singing by Franklin School, (United Brethren.)

Milligran and His Verdict. We have no doubt that the jury that returned a verdict of five dollars damages in favor of Milligan yeterday, would have much preferred to have found hitn guilty of treason, and delivered him over to the hangman. The charge of the Court made it a I but obligatory upon the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiff; and while, in their finding, they have yielded to the authority of the la as delivered to them b the Court, they have maintained their rights as jurors, by placing their own estimate upon the damages inflicted upon

the defendant, and have sent the traitor home with a lean purse, and covered with deserved infamy. Of all the vile crew, from Dodd, the Great Mogul, down to the most insi ntfiVant member of the gang. Milligan is the only ot.e who has persistency thrust his villainy upon the public attention; and now, as the result of his efforts to use the courts to filch money from the pockets of those who sat in judg ment upon his foul crimes he has a verdict which in effect places the brand of traitor upon him the second time. And this is the end of his career ss Mjor General of the Sons of Liberty! What will now cure the wounded honor of this dis tinguished Democrat? Why not nominate htm F6 a candida'e for Governor orIndiana? He has surely done and suffered much for his party. No one can fix the stigma of War Democrat upon him. His record during the war is the very ermine of treason without a stain of loyalty When Hendricks and McDonald wavered Milligan stood firmly by the principles of his party, and followed those principles to their logical results; he concluded that if Lincoln was a traitor Jeff Davis wis a patriot, and that if the war for the Union was wrong the rebellion was right. When Milligan was confined in prison, his constancy and fidelity to his co conspirators was severely tested. One by one his friends fell away. Heffren, another Major General, showed signs of weakness, and finally went over to the enemy and gave testimony against his comrade The editor of the Sentinel for many days and nights occupied the same dungeon with Milligan, and ate his pork and beans from the same platterijbut he, too, yielded, and. under a promise of clemency took his place under the stand as a government witness. But Milligan stood firm amid all this treachery, and bired his neek to the halter Is the Democratic party so ungrateful as to ignore all these sufferings and sacrifices?
