He never penuitted the formalities of ofticlal station to restrict the freedom of hishitervuiew ith the people, and wJUle he was Governor the humblest citizen of the State could ap proncJi him at all times w ithout emhuiTaKsraent, It is worthy ol note aud emphasis that Governor Williams was a man of singular purity of character. His private and domtie . virtues are atu-sted by all who enjoyed the intimacy of Iiis personal frieiidshfp. and hisomclal integrity was never blurred by even an imputation of ukdionesty. His conception of official suition was that it was a public trust, to be adiuHiistered with the same care, prudence and fniKiiiitT whh-h a wise rnmi would bestow upon bis private allalrn. It is to his honor that at a time w hen the tendencies iu official station were In the direction rf a lavish and carvless exrend it are. of the public money he used hlsiuauence in Congress to check those tendencies, nd to cxrxise existing abuses. As Governor he evinced tne same watchful careof the public interests, and though a warm partisan no alleged farty neeessitv, no conideratkna of personal freiidship could swerve him irota what he believed to be the path of duty. It has been saKl of him that be was too liberal in the use of the pardoning power. The records of his office diseJose the fact that the last act of his otlicial life was the printing ul a respite to a ; man condemned to die. That he was too merci ful iniiealius Hh his errlnpr fef tow-mortals will not be remembered against him by ihe Merciful Juddc in w hose preseuce he now staivils. Measured by the best standards. Governor Williams was a worthy citizen, a Jntthful public servant, a komI mau. II is virtues were many aud 1 conspicuous, "And eVu his fallings leaned to-virtue'sside." W. li. GlXSItAM, KOLOMO! CLAYPOOL, Thomas F. Davidson, At'Gi'sTV N. Martin, Wie P. Flsuback. J HON. WM. II. ENGUsH arose and seconded the adoption of the me morial, at the same time making the following remarks in relation to. the deceased: It was my good fortune to know and Iks on friend ly relations with Governor WiliiAms for a great many years. I may eay I knew him intimately for over the third of a centurv. I met him for the first time In this city: it was in the winter of 1MJ .hiity-seven years rro. IndLar npolis was then a comparatively small place, not larger, probably, than Frauklin or Anderson is now. There was not a completed railroad in the State, and it took three or four day' horselack riding to reach here from such tJountles as Knox and Scott, the respective residenres of Governor Williams and myself It was the occasion of tlie meeting of the Legislature, an event then apparently considered of far more importance by the people than it seems to be now. 1 came as a candidate for Clerk of the House of Representatives. Governor Williams came as , a Representative of the people of Knox County.- I was elected with his aid, and the friendly relations then established were- cordially maintained to the end of his liie. Ith not as a matter of lorni or conventional duty that I Join in these ceremonies. I join w ith all my heart in paying all the respect I can to the memory of my old friend, and iu bearing this public tsstüuony thut I knew htm to be a jut and true ruau iuall the relations oflie. He continued to represent the people of Knox Couaty in one or the other branches of the 1-cgis-lamro (or ttiieen years, lwiuH Conclusively uio hih etet-m iii w hich he was held by those whn knew hiin best. He subsequently represented the people of his Disttiet in Congress, and from that position was called; to be the chief executive otlicer of this .Stute. When I say he represented the people I mean It in the broadest and best sense, for he was literally of the people, and always especially devotod to their int-rets himself a hard-working tiller of the soil a true type-ol that class of sturdy pioneers whose stout hearts and strong arras have made ' 1 ' Indiana the great and prosperous suu? - it Ls to-dav. The - autsse-a of the people' did honor to themselves in honoring him, for he was their true representative. He was not. a man learned in the lore of book not in ouesase, a man of culture but he was a man of most excellent judgment, and bis mind was well stored with useful and practical information; and what is more than all, and better than all. he waa, what is said to be God'a noblest work, an honest man. Now that his long and useful life is ended, and his record forever eloswd, it can be truthfully swid of him, that, in tut ne when public servants were not always faithiul, he served the- people, in various public; trusts for a quarter of a eentnry without his integrity as an officer ever being called In question in a eingle- instance. A man whobeKiui the world under the mot adverse circumstances, and by his own efforts won his way to position and power, maintaining it through a loiiK series oi years, aud rising hie her aud higher, uutil he died, the chief oflicerof Irin State, must have had many good qualities: aud hiapure and tainles private life, and his spotless public record, demand that his memory should be chettshed by all his couiitrymeu. .

(overnor Williams' opjwnent in his race for Governor, then arose and said: Governor Williams' came and my own were as sociated in one oi tne tiarpe,t political contests, perhaps, that has been witnessed lu the Wate. hu ei six. as i -iooxea uponniaoaie face it was a pleasant reflection to me that, ao far as I know, this contest had developed no personal unkindness to me. If the deceased Governor ever at any Time utteroi an unkind word of me. It never reached ray ears. I am sure that in the entire campaign bo one heard from my lips any word of personal bitterness or mikiudnewi. 1 thought to-day that there was a lesson in this for all of us that there comes a time ia the lives of men. particularly with those who live nearest, when auy act or word of bitterness or spoken blander becomes a bitter memory. I am glad to be able here to-day tomitixle with those who stood nearer to him than 1 did, my ow n expressions of sincere regret at tne death of Governor Williams. The Constitution of ludiana provides that the ov erner shall hold his office for fJttr ycai. Tlmt, sir. 1st . .written of the officer not of the man. od appoints the tenures of human life, and their length is controlled by His unfathomable will. It seems to us inopiwrtune. this dvine before th ofik-ial term was closed, that toe should have been deprived of the opportunity of apeaking the farewell word- of counsel to the Legislature of Indiana, aud. of handing over to his successor the lusuuia of his orttce. Ilut we don't ludjre these thintrs rightly, I suppose. 1 never' quite liked hi the cemetery or even in the ball below this type of the broken shaft. We t-liall . know saaetAe, I exptt, that every life has een com plete, li tnere were nothing to be isiid of Governor Williams' relation to public atTaira of Indiana at all. his life would be an honorable and successful one. I have always felt that th huin. cessful pioneer, one of those a ho pre-d toward tne tojt;e ol civilization in the early days and rnwle a sncii-fnl tight w ith the wilder ness, ana cieareii tne pillared forest and made of it a meadow, and of the marsh a dry field, and. who birtt up around bim aud for himself and fur the family that - od cave him a competence. elevated them, that that life was au honorable life and worthy of mention in any assembly. This work overnnr WiHlams has done conspicuously. There was to me a verv touching stehL It is what has been alluded to iii the memorial which you have heard. For fifty years he bad lived w ith that wife who had preceded him a few months to that door that opmia not outward. We are often apt to thinkoftbU relation as that of one in which the wife leans Cpou the husband. I think we do not rightly desiribw it - when we think-, of it so It is but a single aspect of that- most tender relation in life. I ndoubtedly the stalwart bmu who lies dead in our midst to-day. kuew what it was to lean on the wife, audit is tender and touching beyond expression to-day- to feci that when that support was witlulrawn'the tall man bowed himself, and awaited not regretfully the coming of deal )u Wi'h the sincerest heart ! unite Ur-diiy with those who knew, him -better iu this testimonial of respect to his memory. HON. W. W. WOOLLEN, ' Secretary of the meeting, related the following incident in the life of the deceased: . I doh't rise, sir, to jass an enlogy upon our dead Governor, but simply to relate au iucident that happened under my observation, and .w hieb will illustrate his love of childcen, and .their iuIhience over him. This characteristic of . our departed friend has not been tone hod iu the memorial offered by the Jomwittee, nor by any of the gentlemen who have preceded me. II was my fortune last April to accompany Gov; emor Williams ia his trip to the iulf. At cvery point of importaiii-e upon the road he was received by delegations ef ix'etlr, tioth as ollicers lUid as private citizens. When he reached the city of Mobile he was met by the Recorder, who is the chief executive oflicerof Mobile, by the President of the Cotton Exchange and by the Fresident of the Board of Trad,who cseorted'him to his quarters tit the liattle Houae. -After sliuing he held quite a, levee in the parlors of the hotel, where many-of the leading people of tlie cl'called upon him. While., hu was angaed entei talniiig his callers, a voting girl, pome twelve or fourP-en years old. (railed at the ot!Ve of the l.ntel, wlm a laru iKiuqin-t ja her band.. aj,U fifked for him. The clerk, thinking the was a Jlower sirl, anxious tOidLqseeof her liowers, essayed to hsve her leave the hotel w ithout seeiug ihe iovemor, but this she would not do. she Came into the parlor - while he was.' seated, inn rounded by a number of .gentlemen aud -ladle, and approaching him snid: "This Is Governor .Williams, I boiievo." "Vex. ,iuy (lauKhtw,'"' e replied, r-hc thcti preeuted hüa with her bouquet, which be tvveived "Vith the grace of - a courtier. . - - 8h th-4 asked him ' if he did. not remember receiving a boquet when he was at Im porter durinir the canvass of 170. from little eiri whu was sick. "He replieii that he remembered it wall Mie tli'.Mi said: -l am the little frtrl .rhu sent H to you, and the kind words you scut, me iurelaru cau&t'd my mamma to be very anxious to we you." "Where is your mamnaa?'. asked.' the Governor. "At home," replied the girL, giviuK the t-lreet and number. "Your mamma shall see hie," said the -Governor, and hej arose, excused himself to the ladi. a ufcid rentier Ami present and leitthentom. On rca-hiu the street he :alled:a hack, and w ith the little girt went to the home of the mother. 1 think this incident poes-far to illustrate one trait iu his character . which has not hitherto been spoken of. J EX-OOVEBSOa HA Killt. I desire to say a word In this tribute of. repoet to our deceased friend. I, too, have known him a little over twenty-five Tears, aud always found him to be a kind-hearted, honest man. Lpresided over the innate at the time he was a member, and our relations were always most -cordial:--lie treated me with Justness and kindness. He-was uot a learned, man but, not- an- uneducated man. I ' nean ' by that he was a . man- who. knew how to thinkj lie had learned the. act of thinking, but. had he been an educated , man be would-have beeuagood lawyer. He had a 'discTirainatiiiA mind.
