Mr.. GRAY, of Delaware, in his speech
in tie U. 5. Senate yesterday in oppo
sitjon to the passage OF the proposed
pillagiug tariff bill, said :"If Americans
submit to these outrageous ra,es at the
polls, then there are more sheep in the
United States than suspect" But nc
matter how many sheep there may
or may not be in the country, none @
them can possibly be u bigger one than
Mr. Gray himself, for though every
body with good sense knew that they
would have TO submit to the outrageou;
tariff rates referred to in case of the

that Mr.. Gray, who helped to elec1

NEARLY A WREcK.-An open switch
at short piece of side track leading to
turn.t table came near causing a serious
wreck on the Southern Railway at
Lynchburg yesterday. The north
bound fast mail, which leaves there at
$40 p. M, ran into the open switch.
Engineer Lambeth applied the air
brakes, and he and the fireman jump
ed. The engine ran across the turn
table and crashed against the side of a
rocky cliff beyond. The engine was
considerably damaged and the express
Car broken, but the damage was not
nearly as serious as might have been
expected. Nobody was badly hurt.
The passengers were considerably
shaken up, but none were injured. On
the end of the tender and next to the
express car c. H. North, an employee
of the road, was standing, and although
the end of the Car next to him was
telescoped, he was not seriously in
5ured, escaping with a few bruises and
the breaking of some bones in his
hand. The opening of the switch is
believed to have been malicious act.
