IMPORTANCE OF VOTINO RIGHT.
The great importance of every voter being
properly informed on the issues involved in the
present canvass, can scarcely be overestimated.
The result of their action at the polls must be
felt by future generations. Never have such
vast and lasting consequences been involved
in the result of any election held in America.
The plain question is presented to the peo
ple between the government administered
confessedly without regard to the Constitution,
by the unlimited despotism of a sectional party
of Radicals, as exemplified in their rule for
the past eight years, and the Democratic style
of administration in strict obedience to the
supreme law, as it was administered from its
organization to the a*’ -"-sion of the Radical**
to power, in ItifiJ. Disguise the matter as
demagogues may, this is the real issue.
Those who think the absolute will of a mili
tary dictator is better for the government of
the people than the writtenjeonstitution of our
fathers should manifest their sentiments by
voting for the Radical candidates. All others
should vote for Seymour and Blair, not only
because of their clear personal records, but
because they have pledged themselves to the
principles of constitutional liberty, as avowed
in the Democratic platform.
But some, perhaps, unwilling to take toe
trouble to investigate the real difference be
tween the parties, may conclude there is as
much corruption in one as the other and there
fore they will not vote at all. However ex
cusable this cause may be when adopted by
the unthinking men of the North, it cannot
he justified on the plea of ignorance, in this
section where die effects of Radicalism have
been so severely felt by all classes of our peo
ple. It is only by their votes that the people
are able to approve or disapprove the action of
the party in power. lienee, there seems to
be at least a culpable neglect of duty on the
part of such as fail to vote at such a time us
the present. In these remarks we have re
ference more especially of course, to the white
voters. But inasmuch as the white people of
the State cannot be oppressed without the
same oppression falling with increased weight
on the impoverished freedmen. they should he
instructed that their real interest is in com
mon with their late masters who are now, as
they always have been, the only real frieflds
they have.
Colored Legislators.
The Legislature of Georgia has now before
it the question as to whether the negroes now
holding scats upon the floor of the House of
Representatives have a right under the Con
stitution of the State to hold office. The Com
mittee, or rather, a minority of the committee
on Privileges and Elections, have made a re
port, taking the ground that a free person of
nolor is ineligible. The House has laid the
majority report on the table, and has further
determined that the negroes, themselves, shall
have no vote in the matter. The Radicals
loosing over twenty negro votes on this ques
tion, will throw them in the minority, even
should they vote to a man to retain their col
ored friends. But we are informed that a
large number of the Radical party are in favor
of the measure. This then, we think a fixed
fact, that the negroes will no longer disgrace
the House with their presence. As Bradley
has gone, so will they all go. Their white
allies have no further use for them. They
have voted for the 14th Article, which denies
to our best white citizens the right to hold of
fice. They have voted for Senators and other
Radical purposes—and now their Radical
friends are willing to part with them—for the
good of the country.
A gentleman, whose office adjoined that
of the Citizen, said he once knew Gen. Ilalpinc
to enter the editorial room at five o’clock in
the afternoon, commence writing vigorously,
and continue through the night, being found
hard at work when his neighbor came to un
lock his own door at nine next morning. Ilis
face was suffused with blood, every drop of
which seemed to have found its way to his
brain—his head was bound up with wet tow
els, and the veins on his brow swollen to a
fearful degree. When the next issue of his
paper came out, with the exception of a few
columns on the first page, the paper was filled
with the articles of Gen. Ilalpinc. Poems,
stories, essays, paragraphs, leader, editorials
of all kinds were his own—the product mainly
of those seventeen hours of continued la
bor.

Letter From Hon- B H Hi!!.
1 an receiving quite a number of invitations
to juldn. .s the people in Georgia and the iuN
joining States. It would be agreeable tome
if I could write an answer to each specific
'request. But 1 oarmot do so, and, under no
circuit)stru. cep, contd I possibly attend one
tenth t»r the meetings. I must, therefore. Leg
the indulgence of our friends to receive this
as the reply to such of their letters as 1 do
not answer in person.
Th c time ha» now arrived when no mar.
who loves his country, or desires its pence
anti prosperity, can withhold his support from
the Democratic party. Whatever considera
tions may have heretofore seemed to exist to
induce or inelino any of our people to accept,
as a temporary expedient, the Reconstruction
measures, have certainly proved fallacious;—
The plain, leading idea of the Chicago plat
form is to maintain these odious measures it)
the ten States as perpetual over the people
and supreme over thc Constitution. The
plainly avowed means of securing these ends
consist in making, by Congressional action,
States, and Southern w hites vassals to the
Southern blacks. In view of these now de
clared purposes of the Radical party, how for
tunate it is that the Southern white voters
did not aecejrt these measures ! If we had ac
cepted, the'National Democracy would have
been compelled to abide them,or subject the par
ty to the severe charge of seeking to overturn
what the qualified voters of the the Slates had
agreed to and established, and, thereby, of
promoting another revolution; whereas, as we
rejected them, the Radicals are subjected to
the truthful, but terrible, charge of seeking
to perpetuate u|*on the white race of the South
governments which have received no approval
or support except from deceived negroes and
worthless adventurers, and, thereby, of con
tinuing a revolution which had no origin but
in passion, which can have no existence but in
strife, and no end but in blood? It is plain
therefore, that all of our fellow-citizens who
have been inclined to accept these measures
from wiiat ever motive of policy , must
now, in vindication of their own sincerity,
abandon them, and join the party which nobly
declares these ‘'usurpations, revolutionary,
unconstitutional and void I" And no man
will welcome to our ranks all such more cordi
ally than myself, lor though I never had the
slightest faith in the wisdom or practicability of
the idea of accepting, with a view of rejecting
what we accepted, yet I never question the
motives of a sincere man who differs with me
as to the best motives of accomplishing a grave
end. Nor have I ever uttered n word, which,
justly construed, can ever indicate the contra
ry. Ido most heartily rejoice at the now
manifest prospect of seeing every decent white
man in the South united with us in the glo
m*a work *if ililS iiiuin*strt>vk< inifjlli
ty, its authors, advocates and supporters.
So, again, let me say a word on the subject
of Relief. I believe I can truly say there is
not a man in the State who is, and ever has
been, more anxious to see our people honora
bly relieved of the heavy debts contracted on
the lias is of negro property, or during the ex
istence of negro slavery. Strict justice would
equalize the burdens of a war waged for our
common benefit mid maintained by our common
consent. This one idea covers the whole ques
tion. Upon that basis satisfactory results
could have been worked out by true statesman
ship. Why has it not been done ? Because
dirty Radical enemies to all honesty and right,
seized upon the word “Helief,'’ and made it
mean repudiation and robbery. Relief, by
moans of perjury to the Constitution and laws,
never has been and never can be. possible.—
That cannot relieve which criminates and de
grades. And these infamous Radicals intended,
from the beginning, to criminate and degrade,
hut not to relieve our people. They made the
promise of Relief in their wicked attempt to
subvert the government of our State, with the
distinct knowledge that the promise would rot
he fulfilled. They intended, under the hope
of Relief, to induce the people to vote to dis
franchise intelligent white men and enfran
chise ignoiant black men only that rogues
might thereby get offices. So 1 warned the
people in advance. Did not Ido right ? Have
not results proven the truth of the warning?
The Radical Congresss not only struck out this
Radical false promise of Relief, but demanded
that the very creatures who put it in should,
by solemn acto: record, consent to the striking
out! And the creatures, lost alike to every
sense of shame and pride, solemnly consented !
llow comforting the reflection that such crea
tures represented nobody but debated negroes !
No, no; my heart bleeds when 1 look upon
► the burdens and misfortunes of our people !
Property destroyed; .government denied;
children buried ; in many cases strength ex
hausted : hunger exacting, and hope almost
dead ! Ido feel that it is thc highest duty of
a wise statesmanship to provide every honora
ble means of securing relief and re-inspirinir
hope. But to see these very misfortunes of
our people seized upon by dirty, Radical
hypocrites, and used as a cover in an attempt
to secure the consent of that very people to
add degradation and dishonor to their misfor
tunes, was too much to allow silence. I do
sympathise with and would rescue the victims ;
but I do most inexpressibly despise the wicked
fiends who thus gamble with the misfortunes
of a helpless, unarmed, hut noble people, for
no purpose hut to degrade and to rob them.—
And I have no faith in,' or respect for. unv
man who does not despise tehm ns I do.
I dismiss this subject by again warning our
people that relief can never eoine through the
Radical party. Through that party tliev
can have negroes for law-givers; strangers for
tax-gatherers; felons for judges, and office j
traders for Governor : but ncycr. never relief 1
front burdens nor hope for anything good.
I call upon all honest men who have been
deceived by this cry of relief to manifest their j
honesty by abandoning and despise thc crea- i
turcs who deceived them, and who are utterly j
111 cap J !•; of aggeatin./ any tray of relief ex- 1
cept throuiji , orjury to the Constitution and
laws, and through tlm degradation of virtue,
tin elevation of vice, ajpl treachery to race.
Tim defeat ami disgrace of Radicalism is the
very first riidisjsuisable Step tq relief. I util
this -top be taken no other is possible. M hen
this one .step shall be token every other, which
wi -e men can grant or honest men desiie, will
he practicable.
I shall do nil I can in this great struggle—
perhaps the last peaceful struggle at the ballot
box for liberty on the continent, and for civil
isation and social excellence at the South.
But I cannot make many more speeches here.
Our white people do not need speeches. Thc
very nature of the issues now presented, drives
them together. No .Southern white man who
desires to l>e respectable can afford to be a
Radical. Every white man must speak to the
blocks, and here is his speech ;
If thc Democratic party shall bo wieccssfulj
confidence will return ; harmony between the
races will be restored; war and strife and
di-cord will then certainly lie avoided ; capital
and a better class of immigrants will come
among us from the North; business will re.
* i 1 j j «» imi rj w 111 U irVrntlCOj
and we can afford to increase the wages of labor.
It thc Radical party should succeed, the little
confidence now remaining will lie destroyed;
discord and strife between the races will in
crease ; a war of races and a civil war will
come sooner or later ; capital and better peo
ple from the North will not eome among us ;
carpet-baggers and thieves will multiply in
numbers and increase insolence ; much of thc
capital now here will be carried away ; the
(trice of property will still further decline: the
{products of industry will bo lessened, and la
bor must still more decline in (trice. Every
planter, merchant and business man can make
this speech and feel and show its verily injiis
very business.
With the races acting together, peace is
certain. With the races acting separately
strife is equally certain. With carpet-baggers
teaching the black race to hate the native
white race, the extent of strife no man can
foresee.
Besides, we have good speaking talent on our
Electoral ticket. Some of them 1 have heard
in former times and know their ability. Three
of them (Mr. Bacon, Muj. Gumming and Gen
eral Dußose,) 1 have bear'd during this can
vass, and 1 rejoice in being able to congratu
late our State iu the possession of these young
gentlemen who are so strong in argument
and, at the same time, so elevated, iri senti
ment, so excellent in character, and so full, of
the promise of still increasing usefulness. Add
to these the many great minds not on the ticket,
but who are serving the people on the stump,
and through the press, and I am sure the sup
ply is ample.
Very truly jours, B. 11. -Hill.
Augusta, August 24tb, 1868.
Coming Over.
There is scarcely a Bemocrat in the country
who cannot name one or more of his hitherto
mongrel acquaintances, who are heartily
ashamed of their party, and who are to vote
in November for Seymour and Blair. We are
daily gaining from the other side at a rate
which will give us a tremendous majority in
the aggregate vote of the country. Thq Pitts
burg Post says, it can name eighty men who
have hitherto voted against the Democracy,
who will now vote with them. We, ourselves,
can cite at least half that number. Every sin
gle vote thus brought over, makes a count of
two on our side ; and herein lies the secret of
the great and Staggering results which arc to
appal the miserable vagabonds who have so
long been a nuisance to this afflicted people'.
When every individual I> ■mocrat can name
one or more of the other side who .have re
pented of their huge crimes, and are willing
to endeavor to undo the mischief they have
aided to hatch, and when not a man of that
miserable horde can give the name of a single
Democrat who is an apostate to his party in
this present crisis of the nation, we have pret
ty strong faith that truth, though crushed to
earth, will, in time, arise again. It has been
so crushed for eight long years ; hut mnv it is
about to make one desperate struggle for su
premacy over wickedness and error, and it
will be successful. Seymour and Blair will
he elected, and by a larger majority than has
been footed up by any victorious political par
ty in this country in the past half century.—
N. V. Dan Book.
Tit for Tat.
We are reliably informed that the following
dialogue took place at the National, yesterday.
Scene— [Governor’s reception Hoorn—Bul
lock reclining on a lounge, Cigar in mouth.—
Enter J—s.
J.—Good morning, Governor!
Bullock [rising.] Good morning Mr. J.
J. —Well, Governor, I have called to see you
on a matter concerning myself personally.
Bullock.— Ahem! Yes sir.
J.—-'You may remember, Governor, that T
run on your ticket for Representative from
F n county and was badly beaten. Tfore
saw the result, but was willing to sacrifice
myself on the altar of your success.
Bullock.—Ah, indeed!
J.—Well, sir, it was on your account that I
hare lost the respect and friendship of my raeo,
by casting my political and social status with
the negro. T observe, however, that you have
rewarded many of those who, like myself de
voted all their energies to your success, and I
now come to ask, as a slight compensation for
the services I rendered you iu the election,
that you give me au appointment on the State
Road.
Bullock, (drawing himself up to his full
| height and throwing his shoulders buck.] I
should like to know, Mr. J—s, what are vour
! qualifications for* tiie position you desire on the ;
State Road? it is very important that such
appointments he filled by the best railroad
talent within uiy reach.
J.—[stiffening indignantly.] And sir, I
should like to know what are your qualifications
Tor the position of Governor of Georgia? if
an Express Agent can run a government, I
don’t see why an Insurance man cannof run a i
passenger train, [Exit J.] — At. Constitution.
Recipe for Making Radicals.
The following recipe, says an exchange, for
making radical-, has been placed in our hands.
For the benefit of all interested, wo give it a
place in our columns :
“Take a large amount of ignorance, a half
pint of corruption: one ounce of cowardice;
one pound of hatred of intelligent white men;
one pound of negro flattery or deception. I’ut
them all in the unconstitutional mortar o*
contention; bruise them well with the nestle
of oppression, or Brownlow’s military despot
ism. Then put the compound in the kettle of
midnight plotters. Add a gallon of the essence
of negro social equality. Boil it over the fire
of confiscation, until you cun perceive a scum
of falsehood rise to the top. Skim the scum
off with the ladle of traitorism. Let it stand
till it settles—then put it in thc Freed mens
Bureau jug. Take two llaspoonsful every
I night, and work it off in the morning with a
small dose of revenue officer’s or collector's
spoils. If the patient be much debilitated (as
he will he very apt to lie—if he hits any symp
toms ot true constitutional government still
remaining in him) let him take two teaspoons
rul m a Ocu'.-othm irf SWCOtCnod
with ft hypocritical prayer, and he will he as
confirmed a radical as ever polluted the South
with his presence."
True.—What sort of villains are sent to the
North Carolina Legislature, may be judged
from the fact that on July 2d, a Senator Wynne,
from Franklin county, asserted that there
were not five respectable white men in Frank
lin who supported the Republican ticket, and
that not more than that number w ould recog
nize him when lie return ad home, Such out
casts make laws for a million people.
True as Preaching."
Fifty-seven freedmen of Marion Cos., Texas,
have addressed a note to the editor of the Jef
ferson Jimpleeute of the 7th instant, expressing
their intention to cut loose from the Loyal
League and vote for Seymour and Blair. They
say tl cy “are fully convinced that their true
interest and that of their children after theta
require that they should stick to their old
friends, the white people of thc South." We
believe, says the Avalanche, if the proper pains
are taken to instruct the colored people, they
will not be found intractable or deaf to reason-
They have been preyed upon by demagogues
and sharpers, who have imposed upon fliem
every imaginable falsehood, holding out false
promises, exciting their cupidity, and alarming
them with absurd predictions of what the
white people would do if restored to political
power. We toll the colored people that they
have the strongest safeguard in thc honor and
integrity which contradistinguishes the white
people from the scalawags who have been de
ceiving to use them.— At. Intel.
Immediately after the President was acquit
ted of impeachment, the Emperor of Russia
wrote titm, rnrougti the Kussian Minister here,
a congratulatory letter. It is said that the
latter person kept the letter in his possession
until after the consummation of the Alaska
purchase, fearing, if ho delivered it to Mr.
Johnson, Congress might take offense and re
fuse to appropriate money for Alaska. The
matter causes much comment in diplomatic
circles, and is looked upon as a good joke on
Congress, especially as that body two years
ago passed a series of resolutions congratula
ting the Emperor on having escaped assassina
tion.
Radical Alarm and Desperation.
The New Y ork tribune, in the course of
an editorial rally which indicates the editor’s
apprehensions of defeat says : “Wo must not
be beaten." The Radicals are beginning to
realize their position, which is very much like
that of a man who having hold of an enraged
bull by the horns, is unable to “hold his holt,"
and is afraid to let go. The Radical party,
having hj’ deception and falsehood obtained
possession of the government, have resorted
to every species of usurpation and lawlessness
to perpetuate their power. And now, as they
can no longer shut their eyes to the rising
storm of'toptilar reprobation and indignation,
conscious of their own infamy, they fear the
fierce retribution of a wronged, betrayed and
outraged people. Well may the false philoso
pher and higher law prophet of the New York
Tribune, who sowed the wind that bred the
rising hurricane, in terror of the doom that
awaits him and his followers, exclaim, •■Wo
must not he beaten!” We wonder not at their
mad desperation ; for their success is hopeless,
and deteat is fearful retribution and despair.

A Strange Death.
The Corinth, Miss., Caucasian of thc 22nd,
snj’s ;
“A strange and surprising incident occurred
last week in tire country some miles north of
Corinth. A Mr. Mangruin killed a young
man during thc war, and a m- days since Mr.
-Mangruin was on a deer drive, find while at
one of the stands ho saw an object approaching
him which so alarmed him that he fired at it.
The object, which resembled a man covered
with a sheet, continued to advance upon Mr.
Mangrum, when he drew his piste 1 and emp
tied all the barrels at the ghost. None of the
shots seeming to take effect he climbed a tree
to make bis escape. By the urno he was a
short distance up the tree, the white object
was standing under him with his eyes lixed
upon him, and he declared it was the spirit of
the man whom he had killed. Mangruin was
so startled at the steady gaze of the eye that
lie had been thc cause of laying cold in death
—that he fainted and toll from the tree. Ills
friends carried him home, the ghost followed
and standing before him constantly, the sight
of which brought up the recollection of his
guilt with such force to his mind that he died
in great agony after two or threo days suf
fering.”
Hiram Ulysses Grant's public admission
that lie has “no policy” is an acknowledgment
that his election is not insured.
Taking stock—running off with creditor's
■loods.
Alabama Democracy.
Tliofollowing is one of the resolutions adopted
by the recent Democratic'Convention of Ala.
Resolved, 4. That the oath required to ho
taken before registration, as prescribed by the
3d Section of the 7t!i Article of the Constitu
tion, must be construed in connection with the
other provisions of that instrument, one of
which declares, “That all political power is
inherent in the people, all free governments
are founded, on their authority, and instituted
for their benefit, and iliat therefore they have,
at all times, an inherent right to change their
form of government in such manner as they
may deem expedient,” and that such oath
does not hind the party taking it never to
change the Constitution or the laws of this
State, but to yield obedience to them, so long
as they are of force; and this every good citi
zen should do. When we swear to “accept the
civil and political equality of all men,” we
accept it as the law ordains it; when we agree
not to attempt to deprive any person or per
sons, on account of race, color or previous
condition, of any political or civil right, privi
lege or inununitj- enjoyed by any other class of
men,’ 1 we simply mean to carry out the law as
far us in us lies, wtiten at present exists or may
hereafter exist, but does not require us to go
beyond the law.
It is therefore the solemn judgment of this
Convention, that every good man who loves his
country, may and should take this oath, if
required as a pre-requisite to voting, and cast
his vote at the coming election for Seymour
and Blair.

Truth from an Unexpected Source.
Some men have a mortal aversion to the
truth, nevertheless when they tell the truth
they are entitled to credit. Such truths as
thc following must have cost thc Bard of thc
Atlanta Era fearful throes of agony. In his
Sunday's issue he says:
"In the Era of yesterday and the day be
fore we mentioned and reprimanded thc pres
ent disorganization of the party. (The truths
were unpleasant to bo told, but none the less
true for all that: and, as we consider them of
vital importance at present, w© hold it discreet
to throw them out at once, that the party may
be warned in time. And we now say to Geor
gia Republicans, that, unless the party harmo
nize and uocs to work unitedly at once, Sey
mour and Blair will carry the State over Grant
and Colfax bv twenty live thousand majority.
llow do the friends of the Union like the fig
ures? IVe do not believe we have exaggera
ted them at all, for as sure as the sun rises on
the morning of the second Tuesday in Novem
ber, our prediction will bo verified, unless the
party neutralizes existing evils and goes to
work sis one man.”
True as Gospel. And what is worse, the
• “existing evils" being organic and inherent,
the Radical carcass is beyond the reach of
neaiitralizer. or disinfectants. No amount of
worKlng, lying or nwiiiilUng will suffice—not
if every carpet-bagger and scalawag in Geor
gia were to set to work with all their might,
and every one was a “Sharp-ami quick.” l'he
time is approaching when it will he prudent
to pack carpet-bags.— Stic. News.
Tiie Southern Militia.
Alluding to the militia in the Southern
States, the New York Times says editorially
that, the c-me is made a good deal plainer by
the extract from the law which the Secretary
of War introduces into his order. By one of
those unfortunate blunders which have marred
the progress of reconstruction at almost every
stage, the Smith is literally without a militia.
Nod only has the local government no arms
for its use, but the supplying of arms by the
War Department is forbidden by a clause
which passed under different circumstances is
vet uurepetiled. Congress therefore in its
liuste to adjourn, did more than neglect the
distribution of arms, which ameasnr** In-ought,
forward at a late day rightfully cnufimiplat.-.l
It left on the statute hook a pro\i u whi.-’i
restrains the War Department tr im arming
the militia. Wliatever the emergency- to this
extent the reconstructed States are (powerless
their authorities are paralyzed by an order
which nothing less than the action of Congress
can set aside.
Another Failure.
3ond luck does not always come singly, any
more than misfortunes.
The failure of thc funding bill, and of the
attempt to arm the nigger mobs of the South,
will bo hailed with joy nnd devout thankful
ness throughout the country.
These are net all the measures which «lie
llump endeavored to press through in the lust
hours of the session, only to incur failure and
mortification.
\Ve mentioned the other day that things did
not work to the satisfaction of the Jacobins in
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, and that they
were coneoctiug mure reconstruction for them.
But the bill, on this subject, which passed thc
House, the Senate had not time to act upon.
Wo congratulate those States on being
spared this further infliction of Jacobin ma
lignity.—Exchange.
“Various reasons,” says Mr. Beecher, “are
given, why men do not goto church. The fact
is, they are not fed when they do go. The
herds will not refuse to come to the rack when
there is juicy fodder there. If a man sleeps
under my preaching, 1 do not send a boy to
wake him up, but I feel that a boy had better
come and wake me up.”
The instructions to General Buehanan are
said to fully recognize the Southern State
Governments, and it is thought that this ac
tion will prevent a session of Congress in
September. It is spoken of, by somo, as a
surrender, by the President, to the Repub
licans.
The national expenses are increasing every
day to support millions of negroes in idleness,
that they may vote the radical ticket. The
negroes are comfortably provided for, while flic
white man mnst work and pay thc enormous
tuxes.
More Threats.—Tlio New York Tribune Q f
the 1 1th says that one “inevitable consequence”
of the election of Seymour and Blair “will ffi.
a popular verdict against the whole reconstruc
tion policy of Congress, und especially against
the right of the blacks to vote,” and that they
“will treat the new State Governments as
nullities, and proceed at once to replace them
by what they call 'White Men's Governments
—that is, governments based on their <, Wn
good pleasure. That they will he resisted,.and
that bloodshed and anarchy will result, arc
inevitable." But even this, the Tribune will
discover fails “to scare worth a- dime.”—
Governments will bo restored, not reconstruct
ed, in the South, bused upon “the good pleas
uro” of the white citizens of the several States
interested respectively. That is exactly what
the Democracy propose. If, therefore, the
Radicals take up arms “inevitably” they will
have a good time of it.— Louisville Democrat.

A Nashville paper says shortly after 12
o'elock on Sunday night, a circular spue, c. in
the Northern heavens, as large, apparently,

In answer to incredulous persons, who con
tended that lager beer is not nutritious, Pro
fessor Liebig has demonstrated, by a series of
experiments, that one thousand four hundred
and sixty quarts of Bavarian nectar contain
exactly the same amount of nutriment as a

equal to a ten cent loaf.
