Error THE lNTELLIGENcER;-A commune
cation. has appeared in your paper to-day, sign
ed sShaIicross & Terry stating that, if any such
grievances exist as that complained Of in your
paper. of yesterday by Citizen, had the gen
lenail called Mt their office and made known his
grievance, they would have done all in their
power to correct it 1t appears from these re-
marks, that they believe that they, with their
ally, have right to blockade thedepotand man
age the business of all the citizens of Wheeling
to suit their own interests
If any such right has been given them by the
Legislature of Virginia, tmust be admitted that
the people of Wheeling do not yetk it We
believe that the Legislature gave that charter for
the general good, and not for the benefit of the
especial friends of the Company. They say
their instructions always have been to accommo-
date all. Perhaps that may be so. Let us give
a few cases, and sec how far it has been carried
out
Last summer they informed some hUtels, that
where many passengers were Mt public houses,
notice should be given the evening before. On
the following evening twenty-four passengers
were at certain house in the city; notice was
given that they wished to go to the early train;
they promised to call for them. About eleven
o'clock at night the messenger gave notice that
they wished to go forthwith The passengers
were in bed; the messenger was told so; he pro-
missed they would call again in the morning
When morning came they were permitted to re-
main, until the ilnaccommO plating agent had hit

Another case in point Shortly after, seven
teen passengers were treated in the same man
ner. So positive were they of the arrangement
being carried out, that they began to doubt that
the landlord had attended to his duty, (notwith-
standing they were called at the timeappoin
believing that an arrangement existed between
the agent aud the landlord to their disadvantage.
Still another. Last month, few passengers
took a bus passage for a house of their own
choice directing the agent whore to leave them;
notwithstanding that the faithful agent We hear

dealing with them as the Autocrat of Russia
would with his serfs.
ter having by pretended right got their money.
Is this doing all that human and horse flesh can
do to accommodate! This morning porter
from one of the hotels went inside Of the depot
to attend to business, when the five-cent bus
agent applied to one of the clerks TO put him
out. and he was informed that according to rule
he must go out When passengers destined for
