ADDRESS OF SENATOR VIEHE.

MR. PRESIDENT--I can not let this occasion pass without saying a few words concerning the late Governor Williams. He was my neighbor for several years. Although he had not the advantages of much education in his younger days, nevertheless, by his energy, industry, perseverance and indomitable will, he made himself one of the most prominent men in the State of Indiana. The fact that during a long number of years--almost the average life-time of a man--he represented his locality in Legislative Halls, is sufficient proof that he always served the people to their satisfaction. Governor Williams was what may be said truly to be the noblest work of god an-honest man. With these few remarks I leave the floor to other Senators who desire to be heard on this occasion.
