PHIIALATHEAN FESTIVAL AT APP.
PLETON. -s.=

The Appleton City Times reports that
at the Phlalathean Festival. In that city,
on Friday evening, February ID, a goodly
company of students and friends az
sembled in the parlors Of the Levake to
participate in the festivities of the ten. b
annual gathering of the Society and its
patrons.
The GRAFTON was delivered by'J S.
Anderson. class of 10. His address was
under three heads Self knowledge.
Selt-respect, and Self-control. Man to
be successful in life must understand
human nature, and no where can he
learn it SO we'll as by taking deep-sea
,oundings of his own nature. his motives
and impulses. There is great defect
among men in this respect, and 10 con-
sequence men leap into professions for
which they are not qualified and make
miserable failures.
A proper appreciation Of self is also
necessary to arm man for grand achieve
ments, but there is vast difference
between just self esteem and self con-
ceit.
Owing to mans dual nature there were
moments when nothing was SO high he
might not aspire to it, and there were
other times when he was forced to be-
lieve no act so mean he might not be
tempted to commit it.
The ancient heather and the modern
christian PHILOSOPHERS of self control diff
fars both in definition and in mode of
attainment. The former sought to crush
out the God-giyen forces of mind by the
power of the will, the latter seeks to
guide and control them by the same pow
err
He closed by saying" Study yourself
that you may know what manner of man
you are. Esteem yourself that you may
take the position which belongs to you
by the patent of natures nobility. Con-
troll yourself that you may master circum-
stances and power
--"Be to thine self true
"a nd it shall follow as the night, the day. -
"Thou canst not then be false to any" 0G1Dse

Death of tho Assistant Principal Chief of
the Cherokee Nation

We find in the Cherokee Advocate of the
2,th ult., the notice of the Death of the As
sistant Chief Of the Cherokees
One of our best citizens, filing one OF the
highest offices in the gift of his people, has
been taken from us. Hon. Robert B. Daniel
Assistant Principal Chief ofthc Cherokee Ma
tiou, died at his residence in Delaware Dis
trict on Tuesday the 10th inst, in tho fifty
seventh year of his age.
His connection with public affairs, began
when was quite young. His promptness and
natural aptitude in business matters, together
with his education, which was good, made
him most efficient Clerk OF the National
Council afterwards he was member OF that
body from Delaware District. At the break
ing out OF the late war. which divided the
Chcrokecs into two hostile parties, he follow
ed the fortunes of those VITO adhered to the
southern cause. though we believe he did not
go into active military service. After the ro-
turn of peace. he came back to his old home
on Grand river, poor in all worldly posses
sious like the rest Of his people. In 1868, he
WAS chosen one or the Judges OF the Supreme
Court by the National Council and was Chiei
Justice of the Court when elected by ahc pco-
pie to tue Office of Assistant Principal Chief
in August last. At the time of his death, hc
was also one Of the Board of Trustees of the
proposed Cherokee Orphan Asylum With
out seeking popularity he had won the conf
dcncc Of his people By his sterling qualities OF
head and heart; and we may safely say ofhim
that his merit alone led him to the official sta
tions which lie iillcd

Concert for the benefit of the Prcsby tcrian

The audience were highly pleased with tive

There was good audience, but not what

that they win receive the patronage that theil

THK AMNESTY BILL.--We clip from the de-
bates, when the Amnesty Bill was under con-
sideration in the Senate on the 25th, the fol-
lowing remarks Of Senators liILL and NOR
RiLL, of Maine:
Mr. Hill said he now felt an Increased in
terest in the amnesty bill because there WAS
a vacancy on the Supreme Bench of Deorgl la.
and the Governor was any Niou,ly awaiting the
passage ofthis bill which would relieve some
Of the ablest jurists in the State and give him
"A wider choice in filling the vacancy.
The amnesty bill was then taken up, and
Mr. Morrill, OF Maine addressed the Senate at
length, in favor ot the BILL and in opposition
to Mr.. Summers amendment. lie SAID the
very first step in the process OF reconstruction
WAS necessarily amnesty. in order to qualify
those who were to take part in the feoiganlZA
ed governments. The assumed Disqualified
tiof n,ada amnesty great civil political and
moral necessity ut the end OF war, and in ac-
cordance with that principle, the question OF
general amnesty had been long ago settled.
The question now before the Senate was
whether it would pass bill granting amneS-
ty. not quite universal. but so nearly SO as to
put an end % special legislation on the sub
Iect He was convinced that it would DO wise
to pass this bill, lie remarked that Mr.. sum
n0r's amendment was unconstitutional and
ought to be rejected. This bill was tho as.
sertion OF equal civil political and social
rights OF all men in hotels churches, schools,
theatres and every where. This was all well,
and he hoped the day would come when We
should he all 50 thoroughly imbued with the
principles efjusticc, humanity and christiani-
ty as to take all men without distinction OF
color to our iircsidcs and hosons; but GER
tainly it was not within the province of Con-
gress to enforce them by direct legislation.
Mr. Morrill, criticised in detail the proVis-
ions OF Mr.. summers bill, and argued that
Congress has no power to enact them into
law, except so far as they applied to common
carriers. and he warned the Senate against
disregarding the constitutional line of scpa-
ration between the Federal aud state Gov
crnmentS, npOn the preservation OF which the
stability of the Republic depended.
