The New YORK Itlie9 nasf y some nal
bitter article on the Baltimore road. Il
believes that IT ought to be re-Openei, btEt
with the least possible aid from tiie Cow
eminent, aud under no circumstances any
pecuniary aid-nothlng but protection.-
AsWe understand It, the road only wants
protection, and Baltimore, the road, and
other interested parties are relied upon TO
do the rest Says the TfWes'
As COON rs practicable, an armed pro-
lection should be extended 10 the whole
line, allowing Its Fee0nstruction, aud the
running OF its trains in safety. So far the
Government is bound 70 go, whether Ma
TyInnd, or the managers of this road, be
loyal or disloyal. Peace and order must
he everywhere restored. But beyond this
we hope Il will not 60 one step. The man
ageFSiof this road would undoubtedly be
very we'll pleased 70 have Il restored TO its
condition year ago, Withouteost TO them
selves. Bat IL IL well known that they
we're In hearty sympathy with the rebel
lion, and that they attempted 70 preyent
the use Of their road TO carry Government
troops, when the effort was first made by
= their allies 70 seize Washington. This
traitors were invited into Northern Virgin
IL by the attitude Of Maryland, who would
would have thrown herself intn their arms
but for the military power Of the Govern
ment. The whole disasters that have be-
G fallen that State, aswell rs her great hight
way, were OF her own cteation. The peO~
pie OF this State have had valuable les
son already, but not I'll they deserve, till
they have repaired the losses their friends
and allies have inflicted upon them. When
a community ts directly responsible for
the losses It. has suffered, let Il pay the
penalty. i..-lts f. - sl q
What the Timer says in the way Of ami
madVersion on the original conduct of the
controllers Of the road is perhaps all true.
We think il Is. Their erT6r-orlsin, if you
please-FAs grieyOus; aud grieyOusly;
most gtievousiy have they answered Il.
Directly and indirectly their losses foot
mp millions. We presume that by this
time they are ready to bow their heads
pretty near the ashes. But that is moth
ing SO faF. rs the wants aud necessities OF
the country In relation to the road arG
concerned. Neither Is il anything that
hundreds of good Union men own stock in
the road-thRt the loyal city Of Wheeling,
for instance, owns half milliong The
personnel Of the stock has nothing TO DO
with the opening. Simply on grounds OF
public necessity it should DO opened, aud
that speedily. East and Wet the
great need is felt Tho people on this
cad and the other end Of the line feel it.
The people on the North Western road feel
Il. Tho shippers throughout All the great
West feel IL. wehere in Wheeling feel il
in every box shipped To- or received from
the East Competition in railroads is al
most rs necessary as laws against dishon-
eat dealing. We In this city were at the
mercy of the Baltimore r6Gd, before tho
Cleveland and Pittsburgh was finished,
long enough to know what a monopoly
will do when they have the Chance. They
are MOTTO DO trusted. Oar oaly security

Itiswell knOwntO every observer that the
managers Of the Penna Cent? hvae. grown
indifferent to the wants OF the public Ia a
marked degree since lhe tlosiIgi of the
Baltimore and Ohio route. Their aceou-
