BRIDGE BURNT AT PITTSBURGH Sunday
morning, about ten minutes OF one O'Clock, the
handsome fve-arched frame bridge, erected by a
company over the Allegheny River, at Mechanics
st. in the Fifth Ward, was discovered to be on
ERE in three different places, the two arches on
this side of the river. In FIVE minutes the whole
structure was one sheet of flame, and in twenty
FIVE minutes every arch, though strongly built
had fallen into the water. The arch at this end
fell FIRST. and the whole FIVE also constituting a
single arch, and supporting each otherl the 9th
ers followed within six minutes
The end arches lodged, but the three central
arches moved maiesticaly down the river, their
appearance Of as many burning steamboats,. Mar
rowly escaping contact with the piers of the wire
suspension squeduct they passed slowly on to-
ward the lower bridges-ope lodging against the
Hand st. bridge, mass of burning tinbers-the
others striking both il and the Sc. Clair ST. old)
bridge, and swinging around into the current,
passed on 70 the bar at the junction of the two
rivers, where they lodged.
They were followed along the baak bya mass
Of spectators, who feared for the safety OF the
aqueduct, lower bridges, and the steamboats, at
the Marine Railway on the Ohio. Fortunately,
the wind was up stream, and the flames OF the
timbers which lodged on the piers were blown
from the bridges, or they must have shared the
same fate.
The burned bridge was erected some fifteen
wears ago, at q cost OF about STSOOO; the invest
ment was poor one. aud the stock was Just be.
ginning TO pay little, when this calamity oeteii
the Company.
The bridge was insured in the Protection Com
pany Of Hartford, Conn. for $4,000. and il is re-
ported that there was 6 policy Of $4,000 In
another company.

No Luck for Tariff Amendment

The strenuous effort for Tariff Amend
ment, with a view to the restoration of
some measure of Protection to the now de-
pressed branches of our Home Industry
was yesterday completely baffied in the
House, being ruled out of order by the
Chairman of the Committee Of the Whole
ard the ruling sustained by the House.
Whether that precludes success at this
Session remains to be seen. We have
never had much hope, and have now less
than before. We have rarely known any
measure of legislation calculated to benefit
the great body of the People that was not
pronounced out Of order or else unconstl-
tutional.
BY the way, it is too badges, it is
mean-for the Eyening Post to set up
cry against the disorderly and irregular
manner in which the Tariff question is
brought before the House. The Organi-
cation of either branch of Congress is COM
pletely in the hands of our adversaries,
with a Southern Loco-Foco presiding and
shaping all the Committees so as not to
give the friends of Protection the ghost of
chance. Our friends are not permitted to
report bill in either House; the Loco
Foco majorities won't report at all on the
subject of the Tariff, so as to give our folks
chance to make minority reports the
only chance left us is to move amendments
to such bills as are reported and when we
try this, we are ruled out of order and The
Post complains that we take the only
course open to us to obtain action on the
subject If this is MI mean, then our judg-
ment misleads us.
