Death OF Distin z uished Man.

We panied to the death, on Friday night
of Benz mn Walk MS Leigh, esq of this city. He has
filled large space in the history Of Notwithstanding rep
resented the State in the United States Senate and
pied other responsible positions. He is known the Union
of the most eminent lawyers and eloquent of
the State On Saturday the bar passed handsome tribute
to his memory; and his funeral yesterday, attended
by his friends and admirers.Rich Eng, Feb g.
We have been familiar with Mr.. Legh's history for
As years Though politically opposed to him during the
last days OF his life yet we have never ceased to appre
ciae the brilliant abilities by which he distinguished
the energies of his character and the general generosity
of his feelings He was among the most powerful
writer's and finest speakers and soundest lawyers the
State. He was member Of the convention of Virginia
which formed her present constitution, in 1926 and
though was one of the ablest bodies which
bIed in that eath-though it could boast Of
the services of Madison and Monroe, Marshall and
Giles, John Randolph and Philip P. Barbour, of L. w.
Tazewel and Chapman Johnson, of Dromgoole and
Mason, and of host of other accomplished men
yet B. w. Leigh admitted on all hands to be
the most prominent and talented leader of the con-
venon. The constitution and the laws of Virginia
had been his favorite study; and nobly did he
maintain the vantage ground which he occupied. 1t
was the palmest period of his life and the name of
Leigh stood pre-emnent on that occasion among all the
eminent men which graced the body. When our sister
State (South Carona) resorted to notification a
OF resistance TO the odious arof 1885, B. w. Leigh
was selected commissioner the part of Virginia
repair to South Carolina and employ The Office of
diator between sister State and the conederacy. The
idea was as new as it happy-serving to develop
new and admirable political feature in the system of our
confederacy The suggestion due to General Cass in
of the most beautiful letters which appeared in
the Richmond Enquirer 1t eagerly adopted by the
legislature on the day, and Mr.. Leigh went forth
as the mediator; and ably did he discharge its duties
Fate seemed to have destined this distinguished
man to high position. He was intended for lofty
destiny. His talents, his energies, his fine quail
ties, (of which he possessed large share) had invested
him with the highest pretensons But life's itful day
over, and Leigh has passed that bourne from which
there is return; and no man would with more plea
throw wreath upon his tomb, than he who pens
these hasy lines in honor of his memory
We are happy TO announce the arrival in this city Of
