Swapping sides in West Virginia

The Louisville Courier has the follow
ing in regard to the canvass in our
State:
The Democrats of West Virginia are
making a gallant fight in spite OF the
discouraging fact that q majsrity OF the
white men in that State are dlsiraH-
chised. They are working with the ar
dor natsral to men conscious OF so noble
mission as the restoration OF their dis
franchised neighbors to the rights OF
freemen. Strange as it may seem, some
of the most firm of the original Union
men are doing all they can to overthrow
Radicalism, while some original seces'
sionists and Confederate officers have
sold themselves to the party which pro-
scribes the rebel soldier and woSld de-
grade him politically below the level OF
the negro.
The Kanawha Republican,, edited by q
Union soldier, ventiiates the record OF
Colonel Thomas b. Swami, late of the
Confederate army, who is now a rabid
Radical orator, and contrasts his ap'
peals to the people to take up arms
against the Government with Union
circular issued by committee In lo6l
OF the eight gentlemen who appealed tc
the people of West Virginia, in that
circular, to stand by the Union, TIVE are
dead, ono is moderate Republican, and
five are unfinching Democrats. Colonel
Swami, who was at that time lndictins
iAtlaming addresses to the yeomanry
and enlisting them in the work OF re-
bellion, is now in full fellowship with
the party that proscribes and dis
franchises them for following his ad

The meeting was organized by elect

regular business of the evening, the
Chair introduced HENRY S. WALKER,

then addressed the meeting at leng h.
The speaker discussed particularly the
policy of the Radical party in
West Virginia, and also adverted
to the national questions Of finance and
taxation. Mr.. WALKER was warmly
received. listened to with respectful
attention, and loudly and frequently

The Wilmington IN. C.) Journal OF the
2O:h instant says: We learn that MIR.
Louis Klander, q German resident OF
of the city who was held in great es-
TEEN by both his own countrymen and
his American friends, drowned himself
in the dock, foot of Castle street, last
evening. Mr.. Klander has been labor
isg under an alteration of mind for
more than o week past, and has requir-
ed constant watching. He was in this
state while two of his friends were
watching beside him last evening. Not
needing their presence, he walked out
of his residence, on Church, between
Front and Second streets, and on the
attempt of one of his friends to stop
him, being q powerful man, he hurled
him to the ground with great force. he
then deliberately walked into the dock,
straight into the water, until he disap-
peared from sight and was seen nc
more.

A Curious Clause in Meycrbecr's Will

A suit which is now in progress be
fore the Civil Tribunal of the Seine has
developed some facts which will be in
teresting to the musical world. NJ.
Henri Blaze de Bury is the plaintiff,
aad the descendants are the heirs of
McyeIbeer. Some years since 4 play by
the plaintiff, called "La Jcuncsse de
Goethe" was brought ont at the OdeOn
Theatre, Paris. Afterwards the author
induced Meycrbeer who was an idolator
of Goethe, to compose an opera for Ii
bretto with similar plot. One act
was completed, when the death of the
composer put an end to the work. NJ.
de Bury claims the manuscript of the
unfinished opera.
The heirs of Meyerbeer come forward
and say that with the exception of
"yasco de CANA -"L'Africaine"-all of
his unpublished works have been shut
up, and present the following clause in
Meyerbeer's will:
"For long time l have been in the
habit of making notes, on special mu-
sic book, of every inspiration which
comes to my mind and pleascs me, eth
er when l am sitting at the piano or at
any other time. entirely forbid the
placing of these fragments in the hands
of living composer, for him to make a
new work cut Of them, or to complete
my unfinished compositions, and after
wards give them as my posthumous
works; for such fate has too often be.
fallen other artists, and damaged con-
siderably their future glory. My fami,
ly does not require any suGh resources.
Ii would be equally painful to me if, by
neglect, these music fell into treacher.
Gus hands, and my thoughts were used
by other musicians under their own
name. Ny express and positive desire
is that, a few days after this will i
opened, the above named books five OF
them h. minutely describes should bC
removed from other papers by my wife
and executors, and scaled, and careful
" preserved in a special box.
'If, seme day, one of my grandchil
dren evinciDg real taste for music, the
books con ntaining my musical thought:
are TO be delivered up to him, as well a:
the diary kept by myself since the END
of 1916. No one, without exception
must be allowed to look over the atoTe'
said books, or my unpublished compost
tions, or my diary. If none OF my
grandchildren are endowed with tast'
for music-of which my executors are
to be sole judges-these books, comPo
sitions and diary must be destroyed
This, be it understood, is only TO bt
done when my three daughters are NJ
more, and when my Grandsons have at
tanned an age enabling my executors t.
