HALIFAX COURT HOUSE, Va, Sept.
25.--B. Leftwitch, and aged colored
man, known throughout the country
as Uncle Ben, died yesterday morning.
The day before his death he called
his son to his bedside, and asked as
his dying request that he should be
carried to his grave by white men.
He named eight Of the leading citi-
zens as his pail bearers, and then he
said:
"Let no Republican throw one sim
gle shovel Of dirt on my coffin"
His funeral took place to-day, and
his request was carried out. He was
carried to the grave by white men
some of them being sons of his form
er master. All the expenses were
borne by white men, and the large
crowd in attendance was composed
almost entirely of white men and wo.
men. The old negro had ever since
the war voted the Democratic ticket
and had been almost ostracized by his
race for so doing. He stood high in
the community.

"Ten years ago sthere might have
been divided sentiment as to the
truthfulnsss of John Sherman's sense
less bourbon TRADE against the south,
whether true or untrue; but to-day
there can be no divided sentiment
among intelligent citizens of any sec

ing the Southern States of denying as
free and independent suffrage to the
black as is accorded them in the north,
are not only false, but Sherman must
know them to be false if he is not be-
reft of memory and reason. The col
lossal fraud OF 1875, in which John
Sherman was one of the chief crimi-
nails in the Louisiana electoral bur
glary, was the last great wrong perpe-
trated against the integrity of the
ballot in the south, and since then,
tens of thousands of the most intelli-
gent colored voters have openly voted
the democratic ticket and hundreds
of thousands of colored voters have
refused to vote because their party
leaders, largely appointed by Sher-
man, were notorious and shameless
thieves. Ii John Sherman would go
to the Southern States, visit the Gen.
tres of politics, confer freely with the
intelligent colored voters Of eacl
