SENATE.
wAsHlNaroN, May 27.-Mr Stanford
called up the resolutions introduced by
him, expressing the sorrow Of the Senate
at the death Of the late John F. Miller,
OF California. The resolutions having
been read, Mr.. Stanford addressed the
Senate in feeling terms. Mr.. Stanford
briefly outlined the life of Mr.. Miller
from his birth in Indiana through the
varied phases of his career as a student,
lawyer, citizen, soldier and Senator.
Referring to his connection with the
war, Mr.. Stanford said Mr.. Miller was
one OF the first to respond in behalf Of
the Union at the breaking out of the
rebellion. The close of the war
found him Brigadier and Brevet Ma
jor General. On his return to
Indiana, Governor Morton presented
him with a sword, which he had prom
ised the soldier of the State who dis
tinguished himself the most and reflect
ed the greatest credit on his State and
country. Ia the course of his conclud-
ing remarks Mr.. Stanford said; General
Mlllers life was 3 success. The work
he undertook he did we'll, whether in
campaign, commerce or in Congress.
He gained commentator on every side
and in every path of duty in which he
walked. He is gone, and impair
tiaI history will delight to place his
name as a private and public citizen
high among those who are worthy ex-
ampies for their countrymen to admire
and initiate.
Mr.. Edmunds said Mr.. Miller was
always known as man of thought, Of
industry and Of practical sagacity.
Mr.. Voorhees, characterized the late
Senator as the highest type Of an Amer
lean citizen and soldier. of whom Ind.
ana, the State of his birth, was proud.
Mr.. Logan said Mr.. Miller had
evinoed military ability Of high order.
A country that had such citizens would
always be inyincibls to foreign foes.
Mr.. Fair said it had been his good
fortune to know Mr.. Miller well, and
the death Of that distinguished man he
tNIr. Fair) felt to be not only public
loss hut personal bereavement. Sue
cessful in war, it was left to him to be
equally successful in peace. Again be-
coming o citizen Of California he was
