General Connha, the commandcr-in
chief, of the Spanish army, ono briga
dicr general and two s*aff officers, were
killed, on Sunday, while directing an
assault upon one of the positions, com¬
manding tho retrent of the Carlists to
tho mountains. These contests seem
to be hard to be put down by tho Span¬
ish government.
Notice the advertinement of Messrs.
Guilford, Wood & Co., of Macon and
Atlanta, and if you want anything in
tho line of mimic, they keep it. It is
the largofit house of the kind South;
and they are honest reliable men in
ail tlioir dealings, and keep tho bout
goods only If you want a splendid Almithlg
musical work, their Eclectic

por annum.
A ROOD IDE*.
Wo boo that, the Uontral Railroad, in
eluding tho Macon & Western and the
South Wcatern, liavo decided to again
put down the rate of passage to one fare,
after July first; tickets to be sold to the
31st of December and good to return
en til January 15th, 1875. This i<*
liberal and we hope may pay them.

Proposed Military Encampment.
Wo learn that the Baldwin
contemplate Indian "going Spring, into camp" in for a
week, ut tbe the

probable they will propose to some com
party in a neighboring city to join them
in the excursion. We hear a number

OMV Ol)K HOPE.
To the close and careful observ¬
er of passing ovt-nts, and to those
especial ly, who are auxious for the
dawn of better and happier days
upon our down trodden and unfortunate
sunny South, it is r. ther mortifying to
notice the slow progress our people arc
making towards accommodating them
selves to the situation, or in other
words, in reguluting and conforming
their minds and actions to the surround¬
ing circumstance?.
History, it is true, furnishes abun¬
dant evidence of the fact, and reason it¬
self teaches us, that, in almost every
grent aud budden change, cither polit¬
ical or social, considerable time is re¬
quired to obliterate old established cus¬
toms and to eradicate deep-rooted and
long standing prejudices. True it is,
moreover, when the new order of things
is brought about, arid forced upon a
people through the instrumentality of
the sword, to insure its early and prompt
adoption much depends upon the con¬
duct of the dominant party towards the
ono tbit has been overpowered, and
thus alone compelled to succumb. And
if, after tbe late internecine struggle
was over and slavery forever abolish*d,
the reconstruction acts had not been
forced upon the South, but a more tuag
nntiimous and conciliatory policy in¬
augurated—if the sovereignty of the
States had not been virtually ignored,
which was a direct and unwarranted
violation of the federal compact, long
ere tHs, peace, quiet nnd order would
have been tcigning supreme; confidence
and fraternal iccling restored, ar d by
the cultivation of habitR of industry and
thrift, our country might now be in a
comparatively more prosperous condi¬
tion than it was prior to the commence¬
ment of the war But since, however,
the North have emancipated the slaves
and have enacted such unjust and op¬
pressive laws, and as not even the most
astute and furseeing statesman perhaps
can discover tho remotest possibility of
redress, wisdom and prudence seem to
dictate that we no longer kick a ainst
the goads, but making' tho best of a
bad bargain, addiess ourselves to the
repairing improvement of our ruined fortunes, anj to
tlic and elevation of our
nohlo Anglo Saxon race
There are tlirco classes of persons in
particular among us, tlmt have hcen re¬
markably diffident and dilatory about
ncccptiug the situation. First, those
who have an Inherent disposition to
live without working themselves and
who have been clinging to the delusive
hope that slavery might again be re es¬
tablished ; next those, who from pride,
or from false ideas ot tho character
certain departments of labor, look upon
those occupations especially, in which
the sluve was employed us menial and
degrading, and this class more than an¬
other are seeking clerkships, agencies
and the like ; the last class arn compos¬
ed mainly of demagogues,
greedy cormorants,sclfi-h indifferent and depraved,
and totally about the
weal, carcing for nothing so much :r
tt oir own | orsonal aggrund zcinent,
stuff their distensible pockets with the
hard earnings »l the poor, and to sit
hack in the easy chair and enjoy to
fullest measure their otium cum
fate.
Let thosp, who liavo not already
so, commence a reform immediately
let the former owners of slaves remem¬
ber that they cannot now live aud move
in the annie superior stylo Hint
did when these snino servants were their
property ; let us try to console
with the reflection Hint fine and costly
dress, ornaments and other personal
decorations, pomp and glittering
“Are nil of ihrm a Heeling show
For man’s ilh flon given."
Let us bear in mind nlso, Hint not¬
withstanding the Lord God cursed the
earth and ordained that man should
henceforth get his bread in the sweat of
his blow, nevertheless there is no more
noble, independent and honorable cur
ploy moot than the cultivation of the
soil.
Let tho ladies of Hie household dis¬
charge tbeir supernumerary domestics,
and, emulating the example of tbeir
si-ters in other countries whero invol¬
untary servitude never existed, perform
all the offices proper for the sex them
selves, nnd by such prcfiubl* exercise
they will not only save very great out¬
lay of expenditure, returning but find their the cheeks rosy
tint gradually to
and soon to able to rejoice in the full
restoration of health with all its de*
lightlul exhilarating effects.
Let our young men too, the hope of
the country, disabuse their minds of the
idea, tint tanning, however laborious it
tuny be, is an unprofitable and degraded
cm.ilumeii!* avocation ; not profitable, because its
accrne so slowly ; and de¬
graded, bcciuso the negro, while a
slave,almost xclusively tilled the earth,
and now that he is a freed man, con
titiue* to do so. Let these same youths
understand that, while it may be pos¬
sible for the learned professions to be
lowered in public estimation by its ex
ponents, never can the primeval, exalt
ed ealling of the farmer be brought in¬
to disrepute or abased by the kind, or
character of the laborer. But by all
means let every one of us practica econ
onty in all things, and let it never a^ain
be said, as it has been, and truthfully
too, by our late enemies, the yankecs,
that a New England family would sup¬
port itself handsomely on what some of
our Southern ihe families would positively
waste in same leng’li of time.
ju*t so sure as wc (ail in the observance
of these humble suggestions, sooner
later we shall teal te the tine
of the new saying of bo tho freed top. m*” And
hoiiuw r-,1 vo* upon
in the change thi* crooked and rough
s >ciety-tence of ours is undergoing,
we are not exceedingly careful in tbe
repairing of it, too much of the lowest
and wotst material composing if.will in¬
deed. we tear, occupy lofty positions ia
ibis ever varying structure.
CuNUKBSSmBlV-CANDIlUrtS &c
'Vito is to be the candidate for
Congress in the 8th District, and
where should a nominating Conven¬
tion be held if one is held. We are
inclined, though, to favor a plan to
let each county vote for a candidate,
and elect a candidate. Let every
body run. who wants to in that race,
then clear the track for the winner
and elect him. We have seen so
much of these nominating conven
tions—so much rascality practiced
the., that we betieve *h*«. .tarn
Dug and an imposition on good citi
zens who always abide their action,
but at the same time know the can
didate is not the right ° man Of
course it ... not , always . , but , office ^
is so,
seekers have got to be migh*y sharp
as well as unscrupulous, and a con
vention can be stocked very easy by
« a cute politician iv • ; 1 but .. by 1. the other
plan he’s got to take his chances with
thereat. We are also in favor of
the same plan to select candidates
for our representatives. This plan
has been adopted in several counties
and works well. We know, anyhow,
we need an improvement on the old
plan of nominating conventions. The
plan, however, is good enough, but
it is its susceptibility of fraud that
we want to get rid of.
Being rather a stranger in this
District, we have no one to suggest
for C< Tigress ; wo expect to support
the candidate selected, with all our
ability and influence ; all we want is
a good man.
II a convention is held, we would
suggest Sparta as it is about as cen¬
tral as any point, as the place. Let
us hold a convention as early as pos¬
sible, and discuss the manner of s«
lecting the candidate, and if the con¬
vention plan is adopted nominate
him then and there, and go to work
to elect him. What say the press of
the 8th District, on the subject.
STATIC tCXKCV’l IVK CO.UUITTKK.
Atlanta, Ga., July 1.—The Demo
emtio Executive Committee of the
State met to day. It was decided not
to call a State Convention. An address
was adopted urging unity of action and
the selection of the best men. Resolu¬
tions relative to calling a Congressional
Convention were adopted, as was also
one declaring the attendance of aspi
rants in primary meetings and noiuiuat
ing conventions as unwise aud impoli¬
tic —Macon Teicytaph.
We wublish elsewhere the address of
the Chairman of the Committee, and
commend it to our readers as containing
sound logic, and advice which we will
have to carry out if we are successful.
As it says our enemies a>o up and do¬

determinedly, aud above all things,
unitedly. Wisely it sayc, “Bo not

urge tho importance of looking well to
the manner of selecting candidates,
lie mentions “stocked conventions,*'
and how many do we have these days
we would ask, that are not stocked l
Let us select our candidates by a popu¬
lar vote, it may be a little more incon¬
venient, but will be better than putting
in the held and electing the wrong man
—one put in by a ring who will sub¬
set vp their interests and not the peoples.
If a good man is not worth trouble, we
deserve a bad one. Head the address,
and heed it
