Parties desiring to advertise their fall and winter business, had better secure space in the Herald at once. The probability now i that space in these columns will be scarce.

A negro named Jack Chambers was found chained to a tree and shot full of holes about five miles from Waycross on the Waresboro road this morning. Cham bers was one of the three negroes who committed the crime of outrage upon the wife of Mr.. George Warren near Hoboken about a year since. The other two negroes were caught and payed the penalty of their crime at the time. Chambers escaped and has been at large for 12 months. A few days ago he was located, having given himself away to some negroes and a white man. Last night about 11 o’clock he was arrested by Mr. Spence and Mr. Clayton who were taking him to Hoboken wagon, but before they had proceeded a mile however the wagon was stopped by a crowd number ing twenty-five or thirty white men all armed to the teeth, and Chambers was taken out. The wagon was or dered to drive on. The crowd then took Chambers to a tree about twenty five yards from the road, chained him with a pair of trace chains and| literally shot him to pieces with Winchesters, double barelled guns and pistols. It is said not less than a hundred shots were fired into his body. Where the crowd came from or where they went nobody seems to knW. It is understood how ever that the husband of the outraged woman was in the party. The faces of the lynching party were blackened. Chambers was known to be a desperate character, and about two weeks ago at tempted twice to intercept two daughters of a well known citizen on their way to school. The girls only saved themselves by running for protection to tbeir father, who was pulling fodder near by. He has recently threatened the lives of sev eral people in the neighborhood and at tempted not long since to shoot a Mr. Stokes. Chambers was cursing] at a ter rible rate when the crowd stopped the wagon, but when he confronted the muzzles of thirty Winchesters he wilted, exclaiming: “Oh, Lord, I’m gone, now !** The negroes in the neighborhood were very much afraid of Chambers, and seem to be delighted at his sudden taking off. The coroner will hold an inquest this afternoon, but as we write the body of the desperado and outlaw is still pinion ed to the tree with chains. We could not learn where Chambers came from. He is about thirty five years old, black and very repulsive in appear ance. The party that did the shooting was very cool and quiet but very deter mined. The particulars of the affair from the time the negro was taken from the wag on to the time he was found this morn ing are hard to get at. Whether he confessed and asked for mercy or wheth er he stuck out stubbornly to the end we cannot tell. There was ample proof of the negro’s guilt at the time the out rage was committed, and if he had been captured he would have been lynched then. Justice has been delayed but it came at last. Another brute has gone, and thus they will continue to go until our wo men are safe. We had hoped that Ware county would escape lynching and the cause* that bring it about and make it necessary, but it is upon us. The leading colored men of Ware county shculd use the lynching of Jack Chambers as an argument to prevent crime and outrage among their race.— There is no use getting mad about it, these things will continue as long as there is a rapist in the land. ’ The Hopie Adjourns Out of Respect (or Dead Member—President Cleve land and His Cabinet Had a Short Conference.

Mr. Dingley moved that the matter be referred to a special committee of five members to be appointed by the speaker, with instructions to report thereon within 10 days. This was lost. Yeas 138, nays 194. Then came a vote on the Republican resolution declaring Belknap entitled to his seat on a prima facia case, and it was defeated—yeas 114, nays 198. Mr. O’FarreU’s resolution for the im mediate swearing in of Mr. Richardson was agreed to without division, and Mr. Richardson came forward and qualified. Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania, announ ced the death of his colleague, William Mntchler, and as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased the house, at 4:35 o’clock, adjourned until Thurs day. Bis Work In the Senate. Two hundred and fifty-nine bills and number of resolutions were intro duced in the senate. The majority of them are measures that were placed in the last congress, but not acted on. They include public building bills, measures proposing amendments to their resolutions and general land laws and a large number of private bills, claims and pensions. The bills and resolutions of superior importance at this time, however, were those relating to finance and of such bills and resolutions there were not less than a dozen. Among them was Mr. Hill's suspension bill, Mr. Hoar's reso lution to repeal the stiver purchase clause of the Sherman act and Mr. Test’s bill to fix the number of grains of gold and silver in the gold and re pealing all acts and parts of acts dis criminating in taxation against the cir culating of notes of state banks and state banking associations; providing for an income tax of 40 cents on each £ 00 owned by persons or corporations excess of $5,000. Senator. Hunter, of Virginia, office hills repealing the Sherman law. pro viding for the purchase of not more than $2,000,000 worth of bullion a month and zmtnorizing the coiuage of a standard silver dollar of 420 grains. Among the bills on subjects not relat- iag to finance were the following: By Mr. Carey, for the admission of New Mexico as a state; by MrrMurphy, the Hudson river bridge, reintroduced; by Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, the bill intro duced in the house last session by Mr. Oates, of Alabama, providing for the es tablishment of a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States. The measure is the old Torrey bill with a few new clauses prepared by Mr. Oates. Cleveland and the Cabinet. The president came into town about 10:30 o'clock, and went direct to the White House, His brother was with him. He had very few callers, Speaker Crisp and Mr. Kerr, secretary of the senate, completing the list. The cabinet met promptly at 11 o'clock, with all the members in attend ance, and remained in session about two hours. The financial situation is said to have been the principal topic of dis cussion, although it is probable that the Behring sea arbitration, the Samoan war and the opening of the Cherokee strio were also considered. icre are 1(.0 presidential vacancies alone in the treasury department. Among these are 23 internal revenue collectors. Secretary Carlisle is very anxious to fill these places, and had an interview with the president on the subject. The Third Day. The sepate met, and, without trans acting any business, adjourned. The motion was made by Gorman and the yeas and nays demanded by Platt. The vote stood yeas, 48; nays, 21. THE SILVER CAUCUS. Huf Leaden Were Conspicuous on Ac count of Their Absano -. Atlanta, Aug. 10.—The Journal’s Washington correspondent, refer ing to the silver caucus, says: That the concensus of thought among the leaders of the Democratic party is against any unwise or intemperate ac tion on the financial question at this time, was made apparent this morning at the caucus of the ‘‘free coinage men,** where they were conspicuous by their absence. Bland was there, of course, and fio was young Mr. Bryan, of the silver mining state of Nebraska. But all of the leaders failed to pat in an ap pearance. Representative Moses was the only Georgian who attended the caucus. The other members of the delegation, no matter what their particular views on silver migkt be, preferred not to go into any caucus that was not called Demo cratic. The Republicans and Populists participated in this one. Bland’s inter view last night, in which he predicted “turbulent times, not even equaled in bitterness by delegates in congress just prior to the war,” is universally con demned. Why Some Went. .
