Friend Wharton
could from my heart. wish for lLe benef, Of all
concerned. that the d rset.rs ofthS d Il o Railroad,
d & T r 4 and The merchants Vi Baltin re could
spend a few MORNINGS and evenings along Water o..
50 They might he able to form some idea Of the
oPin'en travellers have. Of the business and policy Of
his recent arrangement by which the fare is raised.
and the Sage Companies prevented from billing
passengers through as formerly. II they were here
n lew days feel well satisfied. ,harnn arrangement,
would soon be made. that would restore matters ON
our route To their former pruspe rous state. aud again
soon see our road well liacd with passengers cast
aud west.
Bet how stands The matter now Why ast night
two Of the Good latent Cuael es came IA With three
passengers eacL,-a thing that has hardly happened
since The opening OF the X K to Cumbehsnd-an
two Steam Boats from Pittsburgh with s4e hundreI
aud ti0eniy passengers On. who reported, that the
Stages on The Pittsburgh and Chambersbursh route.
ms well as the "NuHhern route" were not only run.
ning full from The cast. but both lines wofs running
extras Dolly.
Now sir. you we'll know that This has not hecn
The case for many months-ihuse routes we're dss.
iiiuie OF passengers, except a lille way travel
while cur Stages were running extras both ways
aud instead Of boats coming down loaded with pLs.
sengers they frequently came without u single cabin
passenger, and very rarcly with more Ihau half a
dozen. Aud there IS really but lIule use in trying
tn get Passengers of The bsais coming no. fr just 80
srOn as the price and terms are told them-ihe, at
once decide to go on 10 P.Ijshurgh aud take the C o.
ual. aud many even return 10 lhs Boats after
srtIng of, and go on up.
Does not this state Of things. plainly and GreLRgly
show. that something Is wing sumcuheref think
your answer will not be in the negative. Wheie
Reu is The blame to aiach itself. To the Sag, Cast
You will answer, No, they have aiIhully anl eli.
rIently fulfilled every part uf their contract. both Us

expectations ul the public, in their means aud DIS

ruuIe.
Il there IL wrong in the matter. and The Sage Cos.
are not the offending party, then it follows as a mat.
ter OF cour.e. That r r is the uh lie aud entire cei,e
ni this great decrease vi travel 90. the C,nlral Il ,ule
And | avn much mistaken IN the srgns of Inc Times
Il they don't very sum have such q full practical
demonstration Of the effects Of their lac saicidat
breach Of good laIIh. a. to make them wish sincerely
hat they had kept heir pleSged fauh. not only W N
'ho Stage Companies, bit ais, with The public.
All. hot you may saJ, the Railroad intends Ia drive
the Stage Cos nio lerms, aud ether compel them 10
iu~cr' their already 100 low fare. or put on lines OF
'tages Ihsmselves-Io Ihis | wSuld only answer.
First. that they cannot make Stage Cos run at a
lower fare than will pay expresses. any longer Ilan
Landlords and drivers will trust Them. and | assure
you, IN these days Sf doubt AMI Jrsrusr that would
not be very losg nor to any COT siderable amount
and secondly, That the travelling public are lirtle
