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 is a lino thing, nnd worth only $1 00 por annum.

TIIB SriVtflON-WOHK A ICON 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.

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.
