Baker County Grand Jury Pre- •eiitmeniMt The News and Advertlsek has received for publication the general presentments of theGrand Jury for the May terra of Baker Superior Court. With the presentments comes a note from the. clerk of the County Commis sioners Informing us that* that body will jiay for same only at legal rates, 75 cents per liottndred words, and for on6 insertion only.” That settles the publication of the presentments of Baker county, so far as the News and Adverti§er Is concerned. The “legal rates” which the commissioners desire to apply to the grand jury present ments were established by the Legis lature for quite a different class of ad vertisements, viz: sheriffs’ sales, and cltatious, such as applications for letters of administration, etc., ete.;emanating from the Ordinary. Advertisements of this class are printed in tine type, oc cupying very little space, and at e re quired to.be published “once a week orfonr weeks.” For these ad vet tlse- tnetits the legal rate of “75 cents per hundred words or fractional part there-' of for first insertion, aud 35 cents for each subsequent Insertion” isfaircoih- pensation ; but we can'tneeept the one- time jateas fixed by the County Com missioners of Baker for the publication oftheir grand jury presentments. Our last bill against Baker.county for the general presentments was cut down flora $1:00 per square to this “75 cell's per hundred words rate,” and we thereby received only a bout-25 cents per square for matter worth $1 per square. The News and Advertiser cannot liVe at such rates as the Commission ers of Btiker county would fix lor it, and must, therefore, decline to publish the presentments for them. Some papers would, doubtless, publish the present ments In leaded bourgeois or brevier at 75 cents per hundred words, and say nothing about it, but the News and Advertiser is not one of that sort. The practice and precedents, set by such papers as we have alluded to have done much to ruin the newspaper bus- slness In some communities. “All the Blame” Upon Him—The •‘Daughter or the Confederacy’*— The Artesian City in Holiday At tire—Decorations iu Honor of the Distinguished Visitor—The Surging Crowd Impatiently Awaiting the Arrival.

But the short visit interfered with the programme. It was determined, however, to send was doneyes- t-xqiii-ite chatelaine Last Saturday was Albany's day to look upon and honor that grand old man, ex-President Jefferson Davis. Enthusiasm prevailed everywhere,’ in all heart* and iu all homes. Every body was on the very tip-toe of expec tation. it was Albany’s gala day. All gave themselves tfp to the occasion. As iu Montgomery and Atlanta, and Savannah, the one theme was Jef ferson Davis! Early mom found the people hurry ing to and fro, eager to decorate the stores and residences along the route the honored visitor would puss. Soon the people commenced to arrive from the surrounding country, and every train that came in brought crowds from the neighboring towns. The news that the Hon. Jefferson Davis was expected in Albany Saturrday, and that he would remain in tire city until Sunday morning had spread like vfild-fire, aud the people came from every direction to see him.. As the crowd iucrea-ed THE ENTHUSIASM BECAME CONTAGIOUS. It entered every one and led captive every heart. The old veterans' eye kindled with tire; the aged men re newed their youth, and talked with ■fervid fluency; the young men could not restrain their overflowing, im pulses; the children, dressed in holi day attire, made music in their glad some shouts; aud the ladies—God bless them—bubbled over with joyous enthusiasm. Thus was the whole of Albany in impatient readiness'for the consumma tion of the inviting programme. DECORATIONS ELABORATE AND BEAU TIFUL. May never scattered the gardens of earl It more profusely with bright flow er* than fair and willing hands did the city of Albany ou Saturrday, for the reception of, 1 loti. Jefferson Davis. The cloudless morning dawned bright ly upon a city astir with pleasurable excitement, and there was hurrying to and fro with no unseemly haste, but with light hearts aud elastic steps, born of noble enthusiasm. Albany has.long been. famous for the profu- slqn of her roses aud the wealth of her floral resources, aud it was taxed to its utmost capacity on Saturday, and never were her flowers used to a more pleasing purpose. F very body seemed to have caught the infection, and one would have supposed that the whole city was filled with lovers of the beau tiful decorative art. The small boy ornamented bis best hat with a minia ture flag, draymen decked tlieir mules with the stars and* stripes, ladies dis played thfc loyaTcolors on their horses* bridles. There could be seen flags to the right, flags to the left, flags every where, that floated in every breeze. : ALONG THE LINE OF MARCH, the decorations were, of course, the most conspicuous. Tift 4b Co. elabor ately bedecked their large and hand- tieally twined, that spanned Broad .'ireet in front o( the C. E. B. Bank, This was the contribution of Mr. C, W. Tift, chairman, assisted by the skillful hand of Mr. John R. Hilsman On this arch was the Georgia Court of Arms, and Union flags flaunted in the face of every breeze that kissed the beautiful flowers that bedecked it. Mr. Z. J. Odom transformed the tesian well into symnietry and beauty Mr. R. N. Westlrook’s residence chal lenged the admiring eye of every passer by, and many were the compli ments to the taste and skill of those who did it. . All along the line were tasteful dec orations, many of which we would be glad to note specifically, but space for bids. The arch at Capt. Davis’s was the perfection of symmetry and beauty, and the floral decorations of his house were In good taste. Evergreens fes tooned in graceful folds the portico while ©exquisitely arranged flowers in baskets and other designs adorned his house. These decorations were near ly all completed before 12 o'clock, when the telegrams dismayed all en thusiasm short of veteran, and para lyzed all efforts at further display of joy iu bunting and flowers. The city was handsomely decorated, bat a more elaborate and profuse display would have greeted our old veteran chief had our energies not been unnerved by the expression of his determination to pass us by. THE ORDER OF THE DAY as published in Saturday morning's News and Advertiser was conform ed to. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Confederate veterans, the local mili tary companies and the people gener ally—some on horses, some In buggies and carriages, and thousands on foot, commenced to assemble, in accordance with programme and order of the day at the intersection of Broad and Wash- Ington-streets to form in procession At about 4 o'clock the longest proces sion ol' )>eople ever formed on the streets of Albany moved off down Washington street toward the depot— the mounted guard and the Montezu ma Cornet Band in the lead. UNWELCOME NEWS. Early in the forenoon a dispatch was received by Capt. Jno. A. Davis an nouncing that Mr. Davis had left Sa vannah at 8 o'clock, and that be was so fatigued by tw o weeks of travel and excitement that a change in the pro gramme bad become imperative. In consequence of his physical weakness and pressing engagements at home, he would not be able to stop over for the night in Albany. This threw a damp er on the preparations that were being made for the reception, but the old veterans who had met to see the patriot chief of the Confederacy would not listen to excuses or explanations. They determined not to take no for an an swer. and. sent the following tele gram to Mr. Davis to be delivered to him at Pelham: plause.] What do their dastardly In sinuations hurt, hurled at a man who never intended them any harm, and is now powerless to do them any? I never sought anything more than the rights our fathers gave us, wou in the war of the long and bloody revolution. [Great cheeriug.j My father was a Georgian, and F was born a freeman.

By it hung the Union flag; the two never met on a more peaceful field. Mr. H. Harris, and Crine & Rosenthal opposite, had their stores gaily decked. High above the ramparts of Capt. Ed. L. Wight's headquarters, planted by Sergeant' Wessolosky, two large U. S. flags greeted “Lord Sun” as he arose from his dewy conch. Casting an eye over to Lewis Bros*, imposing house one saw the flag-tipped lightning rods serve a purpose for which Franklin -never de signed them, bat it was an ingenious and many favorable commerits. Lewis Bros, also bad flags attached to wires that spanned Washington street. 0ne of the most nniqne decorative designs, one which, perhaps, produced the most pleasing effect, was the Confed erate flag made entirely of flowers by Mrs- A. Sterne. Other suitable deco.‘ rations adorned the front of A. Sterne’s store. Mr. Jacob Ventulett, a veter an, displayed great taste in blending the Red, White and Blue. Welch’s Corner, though an ornament itself, had received the touch of ' finished adornment, which the opposite corner of Lamar, Rankin & Lamar reflected in the graceful folds of bunting that so elaborately and tastefnUj hung over its-entire front. The office of Judge D. H. Pope was noticeably one of the best decorations of the day. Mr. Morris Mayer and bis partner, Jacob Lorch, an old veteran himself, spared no expense or trouble to beau tify their store, and the wreaths of track or delay the train by force. Finally a tel egram came, saying that notwithstanding his fatigue and phys ical indisposition, Mr. Davis would stop over for an hour, which time he would give to our people, either driv ing through the city or holding a re ception at such place as they might se lect. The crowd seemed willing to ac cept this as a compromise, inasmuch as it would at least give them the op portunity of seeing Mr. Davis, even if they could not enjoy the privilege of shaking him by the hand and hearing him speak. But they all, or as many as could get within the range of his voice, not only saw him, bat heard him speak. The train rolled in at about 5:20 o'clock amid the roar of cannon, welcoming -trains of marie and the enthusiastic shouts of thousands of human voices. After a little unavoidable delay, Mr. Davis was escorted from his car to the platform which had been erected on the west side of the depot. The crowd surged to and fro, each and every one In the vast multitude being anxious to get a good view of the loved and revered ex-President. Mr. Davis [ supported on one side by Mayor Wild er and on the other by Mayor Reese, of Montgomery, was escorted to a seat on the platform. He was closely fol lowed by his daughter, w1io was es corted by Major R. J. Bacon and Capt. John A. Davis. Shout after shout rent the airland the enthusiastic vet erans threw up their hats for joy at once more seeing the grand old Con federate Chief. After quiet had been partially re stored the way to the front of the platform was opened and GEN. G. J. WiyGHT, v who had been chosen hy the people and veterans to welcome Mr. Davis to Albany, advanced holding the grey haired patriot by the band.

We have nothing to regret unless it be our want of success, unfalteringly we tread the path of duty. Men died freely for principle; they sought no glory; they sought no conquest of others, when in defense of their rights, • their homes and their altars, they braved danger and met death. [Immense applanse.] As I look upon the Daces of these veterans, I feei that our cause is not lost. Not lost, though we may never attempt to vindicate it by arms again ; because that is the troth, and truth is eternal. [Great applause].

Onr people were unwilling for Hr. Davis to leave Albany without seeing the decorations that had been made in his honor.

In the carriage with Mr. Davis was his daughter and General Wright and Captain Davis. A SHORr STOP AND RECEPTION AT CAPT. JNO. A. DA VIS'S. Upon reaching the shade of the over spreading branches of the magnificent water oaks that stand like sentinels at the approaches that lead to Capt. Jno. A. Davis's residence, the line was brought to a halt. Mr. Davis, with his entire party alighted from their carriages with their escorts and enter ed the home, the hospitalities ot which were so freely and sincerely tendered. Here, seated in the spacious hallway, with fragrant flowers which filled the air with their fragrance, Mr. Davis held a reception long to be remember ed in the history of onr city. After Mr. Davis and party had refreshed themselves with wine and a moment’s rest, the ladies and girls were admitted into the coveted presence. Many la dies, some of whom, like' Spartan wo men of old, sacrificed their husbands and sons upon the altar of a cause of which he was a mournful though grate ful reminder, gathered around the grand old man to express their pleas ure at meeting him. Some few im printed upon his brow the kiss of rev erence and love.as they would kiss some cherished relic of the past. Many of onr citizens enjoyed the pleasure and ho-or of an introd action both to Mr. and Miss Davis. Miss Da vis was easy and dignified, and mani fested winning grace to all presented. At the expiration of the time permitted by the schedule fot-his stay, Col. Reese urged Mr. Davis to prepare for his de parture. He did so almost reluctantly, and iu Ills feebleness he was assisted to his carriage by Mayor Wilder and Capt. Davis. Gen. G. J.

Mr. Davis's carriage Primary Elections. In mingling with our people we find much misapprehension on the part of many Gordon Democrats as to what is meant by primal v elections. So much 80 we deem it. proper to explain tlieir practical workings. There is no difference between a primary ami a general election, except that in a general election members of all parties' vote, while in a primary, like the one now atlvocat d for general adoption throughout the State, only Democrats are expected to vote. The various precincts iu each militia district are open a* in regular elections. A primary, in other words, is a minia ture elect ion, hut oftentimes assuming large pro|»ortions, ami inteuiled to be confined to the members of the party interested. The object is to get the will of the DeMncralic voters aud uot the popular will as declared by. the At lanta palters. Bat wi.li a I due deference to Geu. Gordon am! hi? Atlanta mauugers, we cauLOt agree that the Democratic will is best ascertained iu a primary. Aud why ? Because, as wc have witnessed, voters, other than Democrats, cast their votes. Xor can .this improper practice be well hindered. .At the various precincts, under the beat of partisan impulse, imprudent and de signing partisan* bring to the polls those not of the Democratic household declaring they have in the past voted for such and such a Democrat. The result is that votes not .Democratic go into the ballot box, aud the party is without protection, as these primaries are not tinder restraints of the law. In ante-bellum times, when a higher standard of public conduct was in vogue, as in the good oltl day? of Whigs and Democrat*, primaries were com mon. But after trial, under the uew era of universal suffrage, they became unpopular, and fell absolutely Into “innocuous desuetude” when the Con stitutional Convention of 1877 required general elections every two years, and when it was found practically impossi ble to exclude those not Democrats from the l>olls. We regard with disfavor the plan, when a mass meeting assembles, ttf ap pointing committees to suggest dele gates. But why not get the sense of the meeting by ballot? The primary plan, we trust, is not suggested as a decoy duck to deteat the Democratic, will. Our party machinery already suffers much from disintegrat ing tendencies brought about by the shock of 1880 ami the general disap pointment in Mr. Cleveland. The op portunity is favorable for innovation. A primary is equivalent to an election. Upon its heels soon follow the genera! election. Do we need both? Is the primary plau practicable? We are opposed to frequency of elections. They beget evil, aud evil only.- When the Constitutional Con vention was in session we addressed letters to Gen. Gartrell, Judge Reese,' Gov. Jeuklus, Col. Tift .tilt! other dis tinguished men, setting forth the im propriety of changing the gubernator ial term from four to two years. But Geu. Toombs was allowed to control and the State was subjected to a guber natorial election every two years. • We have no advice to offer as to what course Dougherty shall pursue. The primary plan has not been tried here since the wa;. We have explained the puriMirtof primary elections aud point ed out some of tlieir dangers. Financially Irequeutelections area benefit to newspapers, but socially, morally and political’}' they are a curse to any community. . J. Dcull* of Prof. Jlillon E. Htacoti. Major K. J.
