THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.
We have a few ", rds to say to the directors o.
the Baltimore and Ohio rail road which we hope
every one of them will have an opportunity orsee
ing. and that when they see. will feel that they are
said by as warm. though perhaps ineiieienta friend
ns that improvement has.
The efficient directors ofIhc company will wcll
remember that on The lst OF Jlnuar, a union was
made between that comPlny. the Philadelphia AID
BIltImore rail road. AMI the two stage companies.
by which passengers who arrived IN This city were
receiPied through to BIlumore for sl8. to Phila.
SelPhia for Sl3. The company well know that the
plan thus admirably answered the end proposed to
be accomplished. The entire travel Of the ives
has passed through Wheeling and over the road
the east. whether going 10 Washington, Charleston
New York or Boston. Ga the strength Of an a.
~tlciPated arrangement of the kind some Of our clu.
zsns exeried themselves TO procure a boat line
That should run no higher mp The river. 1t was 5
Tor accomplished as to procure one that woulu
charge 81 less for passengers 10 and from Wheel
ing than To and from Pittsburgh. TIL, may seem a
very trihing Thing To The members Of The companv;
but when they reisct that every dollar drH. renee
in fare between The termination of the Nlrion,,
road and The head of the Pennsyl ania works is So
much either in amount Of fare or number orpassen.
gers thrown into the Golfers Of the company ~ will
not appear an unimportant thing. THIS line ,fboar,
made this difference in fare, not customary with
Pittsburgh boats, because the owners found It for
their int rest TO do Sd. as a greater number OF
Wheeling passengers took passage with Them; but
90 soon as the inducements Of low fare and through
Payments on this route are Withdrawn, II will cease
10 he ior their Interests. ald they viii take rheir
chance with other boats tor a share ol the Putsburg
trade. The company then loses lie dollar on the
passenger. These boats have ran i, good faith.
and how are they rewarded? By stroke. to use
the language off correspondent, "murderous whil,
IL is suicidal"
The National road is now run over by Two line,
OF stages. by the Good Intent and National road s,age
Companies. which have steadily continued ON !,
winter and summer. through fair weather and foul.
Tor the last ten yeas. They have continued InroueL.
hopes and fears TO run to that road. and supplied
vehicles for all travellers that wanted whether they
were few or many. and TO carry Them through, at a
cheap rate safely and easily, We venture to SAY
there are not in the world two lines o rstages, for
the same distance and over similar ground, that are g
quail to them. During the past winte-, since The
arrangement with the railroad. they have run from
here TO Cumberland. al SIX dollars-they urged the
arrangement, because they believed truly that they
would do better at SIX. with the rail road at four,
than they would At eight. Every passenger that
went by stage went over the railroad, and leh lour
dollars with its agents. These Stages have kept
their runners, their cards and bills went every where
through The west, carrying an advertiser ent Of the
rail road with them. Every passenger that came
here was sent of at such hour as he wanted to 90.
whether The stages thai took Them paid or not
Thsre seemed 10 be no rivalry between the two
lines except as to who should do the most for the
great central route, and send over The most passen.

stages at any hour that passengers desired. to such
m extent as 10 incur the displeasure OF many Of FOUR
citizens who complained Of the companies that they
did not let lhom stay long enough 10 spend ony mo

fifty teams with passengers. TO and from The rail road.
The arrangement is broken-the fare is raiseJ. aud
