PARTICULARS OF TILE DisAsTEE.- Cincinnati,
February 23.--The bridge on>the Louisville
Shorl-Linc railroad was what is known as
the Finch suspension truss" was twenty
feet high, and seventy feet span, and rested
on two abutments, which had been consid-
cred safe. The train was running about
twenty miles an hour. The locomotive pass
ed over safely, aud the structure went down
with two passenger cars, the baggage, ex-
press, and mail cars, which were al piled
together IN mass of ruins below.
The front passenger-car was reduced to
spiintcrs, while the others Jared but little bet
ter. The fragments of the first car were
soon in flames, but by the promptness OF the
engineer they were soon subdued. There
were about siXty-fiyc passengers on the train.
OF this number two were killed and ffty-two
wounded. Surgeons and supplies were sent
from Covington, and soon after, the wounded
were cared for and placed in cars. The pas
sengers say the wounded were heaped In a
horrid mass, and the scene was heait-rending
iii the extreme.
The passengers who were slightly injured
joiued with the citizens from the surround
ing country and officers Of the road in the
work OF extricating the bodies. The killed
were John Brock, Of Sparta, Owen county,
Ky, and Harrison Julian, the coiofed porter
Of the train. Both were badly mutilated.
The mail agent was wounded, but not badly.
A train took the wounded 10 Covington, az

A voTE WHICH SIGNIFIES

Mr.. s. s. Cox of this City saw nj on Mon
day to demonstrate in the House against the
Protection afforded by our present Tarlh TO
tho home production of Pig Iron. Though the
present duty (S7 per tun) is lower by ~ per
tun than that imposed by the Calhoun
Lowndes Revenue Tariff of 1916, and its
reduction from 50 per tun by the Schensk
Tariff of 1870 has deplorably checked
the rapid growth through the preced-
ing four years of our Iron indus-
try, the Free Trade petitions to this Congress
had uniformly demanded tho abolition OF otI
tax on imported Pig Iron, and Mr. Cox eu-
dently fancied that here was vulnerable
point for the long meditated attack on our
Protective policy by this vaunted Free Trade
House. He accordingly introduced and called
the Yeas and Nays upon the following:
That the rules be suspended and the following prean-
bic and joint resolution be adopted:
Whereas 1t appears by the report Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury ss PasS sna GhrhS t6ere cae wars an
increase OF 100 per cent In the quantity OF pig
iron imported which result as well as tho increase @ OF
Tariff that article under the act OF the Hth OF july
1870 and Whereas Iron Is an article of general use ana
PeSolred That In the judgment OF this House'a bill
should be passed reducing the tariff on pig rOn to p per
ess, and that the Committee or ways ana means
be instructed To bring in a bill for that purpose.
The question was put on Mr.. Cox's motion,
and there were Yeas 35, Nays 49, MIR. Cox
called for the Yeas and Nays. The House
obliged him with the Yeas and Nays, (tech-
nically, on his motion to suspend the rules in
order to enable him to introduce his resOlve,)
and here ia the vote;

We observe with satisfaction that the Com
mttee on Commerce and Navigation has been
instructed to investigate the charges against
the Harbor Masters of this city, whose extOr-
tiOns have already been repeatedly exposed IN
The TRIBUNE. Their intermeddling, their OK
actions, and the indirect taxes which they levy
through cOllusiOn with the tOw-bOat COM
panies, form a burden upon commerce more
universal and scarcely less outrageous than the
Quarantine blackmail. Scarcely anything is
more desired by our shipping merchants than
the complete reform of the present harbor
system and the appointment Of honest men TO
administer it, The Committee is also in
structed to make inquiry concerning the Pilot
Commissioners. Such investigation can do no
harm, although We are not yet aware of any
evils in that direction requiring Legislative in
reference.
New-York tribune., 1872-02-29

Although the popular subscriptions to the
Indemnity Fund in France have been found so
inadequate that the Assembly declines to lend
its sanction to the project, the Government
finances hold out bravely. The Minister Of
Finance, avaling himself of the consent of the
German Government to allow an anticipatOry
payment on the amount due in May next, has
made arrangements to pay the balance of the
half milliard (S1OO,OOOOOO) which will then fall
due. That balance, it appears, is SS2,0OO,OOo.
and the French Government will save S4,OOo,OOO
by the discount Of five per cent which the Ger
mans have allowed. This will leave three mil
lizards. or seOO,OOO,O ,OO0 due on the 4th of March,
1874 It is probable that the French, having
paid up all but this by May next, will attempt
to anticipate the payment of the remainder !:
but, az the Germans are not specially anxious
to have the debt Iquidated and the country
released from their occupation. it is not likely
that they will be very gracious in receiving
anticipatory payments.

"The rent question" discussed in another
column, is again demanding the attention of
at least million Of people in this metropoli-
tan region, who, either a. landlords or as
tenants, are vitally interested in its solution.
Owners. 1t seems, are finding it hard to secure
even fair interest on their real estate in
yestments; but the figures in this city have
not yet fallen so low that families of moderate
incomes and refined tastes eau indulge in q
house in a fashionable, or even a respectable,
locality without making frightfuU gap in the
annual purse. In the doubtful or positively
Objectionable quarters, IN well rs IN pleasanter
localities an hour distant from the City Hall,
tenants are more In demand and can make
tolerably satisfactory bargains if they are
indifferent to disagreeable neighbors and enjoy
spending one fifth of the working day in ferry
boats and street-cars. The "French fiat"
pan.scea for h0uselessness is receiving . pretty
thorough trial, but the demand, 50 far, much
exceeds ehe supply, without in any perceptioie
degree meeting the wants of the middle class

Comments by The Tribune
We correct the original statement in our col
nmns in accordance with The Press's state
ment. Now let us see whether the comment,
(Which, it seems, was our correspondents, no.
Col. Forney's.) was justified by the admitted
text. Col. FOrney does not disclalm DIS articie
of last Sunday, as follows:
"When Rawns came back from Gen. Grant Win tne

fame; but what Is become OF him at the end OF MS
Presidency He Is not politician He does not aspire

be will be about So years old.'" &C., &c.
is it not plain that the reelection was mere
assumedP And how are we to reconcile with
this the appearance, several months afterward,
in Col. Forney's Chronicle, of leader after
leader, at intervals of weeks, assuring the Re
publican party that the One-Term principle
"may be accepted as an article OF party
"faithp-that " the party which supports Gen.
"Grant demands it," and that Gen. Grant Is
in favor of it ~ Of course, we assume that
Col. Forney did not so write; but both he and
Gen. Grant must have seen these articles, and
known that thoy were utterly at war with the
eight years programme aforesaid. Then why
was not the false impression they could not
fail to make promptly corrected

Senator Harlan of Iowa. with the advancing
figure of his elected successor in his eye, is
over anxious for his political future. So, cast
ing in his fortunes with the present Admins
tration. he takes neck nothing" view Of
the case and defends everything charged upon
the President. on general principles. Senators
COnkling and Morton, and the other superser-
viceables, have been content to deny the Cen
eral Order business, in toto; but Mr.. Harlan.
with exquisite good humor and simplicity, de-
clares that the General Order abuses could be
aimmered down to mere wordy quarrel be-
tween two men. who were not officials at all, and
the New Y ork merchants that everything was
really lovely, and that the naughty persons who
said otherwise ought to be ashamed of them
selves. SO, sweetly smiling at his own famil-
iarity with politics, and his prospects for a fat
place when he leaves the Senate, Mr.. Harlan
sat down. John Thomas, no doubt. thought
the Senator made a nice speech.
