WADE's DfsuoSEsTY.-Early in the summer
of 1872, Nelson n. Wade, the fcrocious murderer
of tho McBrides, was employed as u brakeman
on the Eastern Division of the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad. Ore day a Sunbury he missed
his train, and IN order to overtake IL took the
Niagara Express an hour ortwo later. Between
Muncy Station and Wilamsport passenger
lost h'5 hat, and noticing Wade as II railroad
man. asked him IL he would procure a new hat
for him ut Willamsport, as he was unacquaint
ed In the place. To this Wade readily assented.
On the arrival of the train at the Wiliamsport
station, the stranger handed him n twenty dollar
bill to purchase the hat. But instead of acting
in good faith, he poclseted the money, and jump
cd on his freight train, started off, leaving the
passenger minus both money and hat
A few days afterwards the officers Of the East
ern Division received Il letter from the stranger
detailing tue circumstances, how he had been
cheated out Of his money, and asking If II could
bo recovered for him. An Investigation was at
cion pointed to Wade as the guilty man. He
WAS at once hauled up and sharply questioned.
At first he denied the charge, but on hearing
orders given to lock him up, promised TO pay the
money If they would let him off. This was sat
sfactory of his guilt, and he was discharged
about the middle of July, 1872, after having
been in the employ OF the railroad company less
three months. Soon after this rascally transac-
tion he stole watch from DR.. Bowman, of Wat
sontown, for which he was sentenced to four
months Imprisonment in the county jail Daily.

. But the Virginian ought not to say 'ereunt
Kelly" because if it does the Dispatch Will
fall on it with grievous crab-tree cudgcl or
other injurious weapon. For 10. 1t is writ
ten in the Latin as well as the English syntax
that "the verb should agree with its nomi-
native case In number and person."-Petcrs-
burg Appeal. ............
The Tirglntan can cite distinguished pre-
cedents as a reason for disregarding gram
NAUTICAL rules. We saw yesterday q speech
of high official "a most competent gentle
man, too,) which reads, "Well done, thou
good and faithful SERVANTS" We knew once
another State official, who asked a friend
whether he said "has" or share" and
upon being told that sometimes one and
sometimes the other was employed, rejoined,
swell, l believe Ill use 'haue' all the
time." We read in the, Religious Herald
recently, Pray to our Father which art in
Heaven" Old JOHN G. RlvEs used to say
that the pronoun II" could never govern
share" according to the rule quoted by the
Appeal. And as to the particular verb now
in question, we have read in many, many
newspapers, exit JONES and SMITH," col
words TO that effect"
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1873-04-09
The Danger of a Split.

The Eaoutrer Of yesterday very ca'miy an"
fairly stated its position in regard TO TUG ~"
trodnction into the canvass preceding Tue
Nov.mher elections of questions that may
fuperi, our success by dividing tue Io''se'.
,o,;ve Marty. It desires that the question OF
Orse railroad law be discussed In the nomi-
n,tino conventions throughout the State, but
that alter nominations shall have been made
No ,l,usion shall be made to the subject.
Without meaning to say which party
messed this question first, or which is
most bent on having it tested, we say OF
the Enqutrer's proposition that it VIII not
avoid the apprehended split. A discussion
in the nominating conventions is the putting
the strong spirit in the fountains, and it will
flow out and along all the streams the
fountains feed. Fire up the people in
the localities, nominate men of avowed
opinions on free railroads, -ToM SCOTT or
General MAHoSE--and the fire cannot be ex-
,inrnished; it cannot be kept out Of the
c.mpaisn. AS long as the red flag of the free
railroad law is held out, the great Taurus
will rush furiously at 1t; and that irrepressi-
bic hate Of "ScoTr" and Bucktails "
which would prefer the "blackest negro in
Virginia" to-we must infer-their repre-
sentative in the form of q free railroad man,
will bring out independent candidates -
those pests of the southern States in their
hour of trial and oppresSion-and the pros
pect in every such case will be detedt--
shameful. Notifying. and disastrous. -
Now, then, it seems TO us that the only
way to avoid such sad consequences is to
nominate men as Conservatives without
forcing al issue upon any subject that threat
ems n division in our ranks. We want good,
reliable, experienced men. Get these, and
leave all minor questions outside. thanking
God that the State is safe from that Rcpnb-
lican misrue of which we have had such
fearful examples in every other southern
State.
1t would be idle to expect the press to
cease discussing questions of such nature rs
that of free railroad law but we need not, for
that reason, carry such questions into our cam
pugn. in which solid union OF all Conserva-
tives is indispensable to victory. We must
save Virginia. We should not think for
