ffrtflpg Md Jatts.Judge Buckner, of Kentucky, aged sixtyfive,fell in love with a woman aged nineteen, and

shot himself because he couldn't get her. Rashyouth!

It is said that the negroes in Louisiana are

greatly disappointed at the result of the electionjn that State. They say they "can't see how that'lection had'nt did 'em no good yet"

A Mrs. Hitter, in Agawam, Mass., has presentedher husband with two pair of twins withinthe past twelve months! We advise Ritter to gethis life insured, or set up a National Bank.

The newspaper report of the Hon ThomasA. Jenckes, member of Congress from Rhode Island.and author of the bankrupt law, having appliedfor the benefit of that act, is contradicted.

A Republican paper states that the savingof expense in the War Department, since GeneralGrant took charge' of it, nas been at the rate oi$5,000,000 a year.

Vicksburg is getting seriously alarmed lestthe canal dug during the war, which was so muchderided at the time, should really become the channelof the Mississippi, thus making Vicksburg an

miana city...The Radical game now is to encourage a

split in the party, cause three Presidential candidatesto be run, and so cany the election into theHouse, where, of course, an ultra man will be chosen.Neat, but not likely to succeed.

Prior to the war, the bank circulation ofAugusta, Qa., amounted to nearly $10,000,000,all of which was well and profitably employed inlegitimatetrade. Now the available bank circulationis about $240,000.

"There's our grandmother," says a cotemporary,"a striking instance why women shouldvote. She's paid taxes on a dog for the last tenyears, and now declares she won't stand it any longer.she'lleither vote or kill the dog I"

A one-legged editor in Georgia, named Nevin,recently challenged a gentleman to fight a

. duel, and proposed that his two-legged adversaryshould stand with one leg in a bee gum, so as to

equalize the chances. The obliging offer was dedined.Workmen are busy preparing the Senate

and Representative Chambers at Washington, andthe Supreme Court Room, for the meeting of Congressand the Supreme Court New carpets andupholstering generally, painting and decorations,are in progress.

The private affairs of Senator Sumner furnishthe latest scandal and gossip. The InteRiaenc& says his wife has abandoned him because of hislack of the attributes of manhood, and for his domestictyranny. She has gone to Europe, and willresume her own name.

There is a new magician in London, namedRubini, one of whose tricks is to cut off the headof a young lady and carry it to the back of thestage, where he unveils it, and where, at his bidding,it addresses to the audience moral and didacticsentences.

TV«o flrtMoTmrrt' ftT/nnx savs that Postmastersare obliged to reoeive all treasury notes for stampsor postage, if clearly genuine, no matter how wornor defaced they may be, provided that one-twentiethpart thereof be not missing; and fractionalcurrency, if not one tenth part be missing.

The N. Y. Harold suggests that white menwho have been ordered by negro vigilance committeesto leave Southern States, be - invited to NewYork. It thinks their presence in the North willexcite more enthusiasm than that of the "martyred"Stanton, and help on the great re-action.

It is now stated that Glen. Schofield's zealin gerrymandering Virginia into the election of aRadical convention, is explained by the fact thathe is to be a candidate for U. S. Senator from theold Dominion. This is no new idea with DistrictCommanders.

The official vote of Virginia is as follows:Whites 75,924. Colored 93,656. For Convention,whites 14,835, colored 92,507. Against Convention61,246 whites, and 368 colored. Schofield,in view of the frauds, is about to order a new censusof the voting population of Richmond.

A correspondent writing from Rome, Ga.,says " 'Bill Arp,' 'the good Union man, so called,'is the Mayor of our city. Mayor Charles H. Smithis a grave, dignified gentleman, and withal a Presbyterianelder. A stranger would never take himfor the author of the amusing letters which havegiven him a world wide reputation.

"Mr. Buchanan," says a Lancaster (Pa.)correspondent, "is a Past Master Mason in LancasterLodge. He has seldom sat in the Lodge duringthe past few years, because of his age and retiredhabits, yet his admiration of the order isgreat, and his practice of its precepts are unabated.This reminds me that all the Presidents ofthe'United States, (except Lincoln) were Masous."

Judge Aldrich, upon receiving the ordersuspending him, sent a note to Gen. Canby, inwhich he says: "While I do not dispute yourauthority, yet, believing that thelaws or Congressunder which you act are unconstitutional and void,and that even under them you have no warrantfor+1.0 nvawiloa fliio rvraror wnn mill TV>rmif tnfl IlflWbUC CM1VIOC Vi VU1U yvnvi) J vv» ¥»

to file my solemn protest against this order."An editor says he saw, in Alexandria, La.,

a few days ago, an old freedman at least seventyfiveyears of age, with two large navy revolversbuckled to his waist, a pepper box revolver ineach breeches pocket, a huge sugar cane knife inhis bosom, and a loaded walking cane in his righthand. He was a delegate to a political conventionin session at that point.

The wife of the famous Ned Buntline died a

few days ago in the poor-house at Nashville,Tenn. She was a Cuban, named Maria Cordova,of exceeding beauty in her younger days, and hadled a life of strange adventure; first, as a cigar girin New Orleans, then, wife of the roving Ned, mistress of Ben McCulloch, the Texan ranger; andthen, a downward course which ended in povertyand a pauper's death,

The fashion now is, at church weddings. North, to stretch a broad white ribbon across th<

isle up which the bridal party pass, above whichnone but invited guests are allowed to sit. Thebrides-maids enter in pairs, unattended by gentlemen,the groom with nis future mother-in-law, thebride with her father. Two of the grooinsmerprecede the whole party, and the others follow it,After the ceremony, each of them gives an arm teone of the maids, as the party leave the church,

The^ Freedmen's Bureau will expire nexiJuly by limitation. It is understood that GenHoward will not recommend its continuance beyond that time, in case the reconstruction of th<South should be accomplished. In that event hiwill recommend a comprehensive system of education for the colored youth South, by the establishment ofan extensive normal school at WashingtoiCity, for the education of colored teachers, and th<organization of normal schools, for the same objectin the Southern States.

Juarez has been re-elected President of tinMexican Republic. There was a striking similiarity between tbe means employed to secure his election and those ased by the friends of AbrahanLincoln in 1864.a similarity that shows the ex

quisite perfection to which the itepublican systenhas been reduced in Mexico. The influeuce of thbayonet was brought to bear on as many as possible of the voters who favored his opponent, GenPorfirio Diaz, and in this admirable manner thelection of Juarez wag secured. The true principles of Republicanism are making rapid progress 11

states that there are 28,000 negroes on the Penicsula in Virginia, between Williamsburg and Hampton, a distance of thirty-six miles, who are supported with rations furnished by the Governmentat a cost of $60,000 monthly, while five companieof cavalry are required to patrol the country tprevent depredations.

(THE WAR OF RACES.The returns from Virginia show clearly that the

tween the native whites and the blacks, headed bya few unprincipled renegades, hailing from vari.ous quarters of the globe, who used the negroes fortheir own purposes. In Louisiana, Georgia andAlabama, the whites had so little to do with theelections that it can scarcely be called a contest;but in those States the negro vote was delivered in

favor of Radical conventions and Radical candidates,with the precision and regularity of volleys.The negroes, it seems, have determined not to

agree with their former masters, and have giventhemselves up to new masters, who drive them to

the polls like sheep to the .shambles. This beingthe case, as proved in all the Southern elections,we endorse the following sentiment from the RaleighSentinel: "The white man, in view of suchindications ofa purpose to convert the ten excludedStates into Hack States, who lends his aid andvoice to ultra Radicalism, is an enemy to his country

and a traitor to his race and color.

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.NORTH.The Radical press of the North express much

dis-satisfaction at the result of the elections in Alabama,Louisiana and Virginia. They see alearly

that those States were all "carried for conventions;but the means by which they were carried are notto their taste. The little tricks practised by officialshave recoiled upon themselves, the fact beiugpatent that high-handed fraud has accomplishedall that has yet been done. Instead of gainingpopularity with their party, these gentlemen findthemselves much below par in the estimation ofthe people; for, with all its faults, the Americannation loves fair play. Nothing can so injure a

party in this country, as a manifest cheating at the

| ballot box.I Another source of disappointment to NorthernRadicals is the disovery that the whites cithertook no part in the election, or voted against conventions.They had been told that the popularsentiment of the South was in favor of the Congressionalplan of reconstruction, which statementconveyed to them the idea that the whites favoredit Instead of this, they find the ordering of conventionsto be almost exclusively the work of thenegroes, over the opposition of the whites, and theydon t like it. The whole programme of reconstruction,as hitherto developed, has assumed the formof negro supremacy. This unsuspected result hasset Northern Radicals to thinking, and it will inevitablylead many of them to the conclusion that,if they wish to keep themselves free from this yoke,they must begin to oppose it at once.

THE GEORGIA ELECTION.The election for or against a Convention was

held in Georgia on the last three days in October.From the returns thus far received, it is evidentthat the white people kept away from the pollswith remarkable unanimity. The ceremony of votingwas performed almost entirely by the negroesand the few whites who favored a convention; so

» that the verdict of the ballot box will certainly befor a convention, by a very heavy majority. Butthis will by no means settle the question; for unlessthe votes polled are a majority of those registered, there can be no convention. It is still exitremely doubtful whether or not a majority of theregistered voters have voted. The registry listsexhibit a majority of only 2000 whites, and if thenegroes have voted their full strength as registered,the convention is secured; for there were probablyover 2000 white votes polled. But it is chargedthat the negro vote is far short of the registry,many having registered two or three times, whocould not vote but once, and others having failedto vote at all.

Gen. Pope evidently thinks the result doubtfulat least, as he has, by his own authority, ordered

1an extension of two days for the time of voting.There can be no other reason for this extension;

[ for every additional vote, whether for or against it,I adds to the probabilities of its success. The peoplehad thirty days' notice of the election, and ii| they neglected to vote, it was because they did notchoose to do so. The two days' subsequent voting

I is contrary to the Reconstruction law; for General, Pope gave only one day's notice of it, and thaiI only to places in telegraph or railroad communica!tion with his headquarters, as it was impossible

* for the order to reach other places in time to be acted! on. .

1 But if it shall turn out that this extension has, enabled the election managers to manufacture votesenough to secure a convention, its illegality will

j. probably be disregarded. Other violations of thelaw were practised. In Augusta, the managers

. received votes without looking at their lists to se(

1 whether the would be voters had been registered,* and the Chronicle and Sentinel asserts that manjnegroes were brought from this State expessly to

*

vote, who could not have voted if the registry lisfc2 had been examined., The result of the election cannot be known foisome days. One thing, however, has been do

SECESSION TO BE TRIED,i. The New York 2'imes (Radical) appears to b<e conscience-stricken on contemplating the approachK ing trial of Ex-President Davis. It comes out ir3

a long article, regretting that the government ha;not been able to devise some means of preventini

£ if The frijil of Mr Davts. in the oninion of this' Radical organ, will be the trial of the rebellion: and the very act of giving it a trial, implies tha. that "horrible crime" may not be a crime after allr In all cases that come before courts of justice, th<e law presumes the prisoner to be innocent, until hi

is convicted. Mr.'Davis and all other rebels mustr therefore, be presumed innocent until proved guil0 ty before a court of justice. That they waged wa

!- against the United States, is not denied. Buthat this war was wrong, is the charge that mus

,t be decided by the court which tries Mr. Davisi- The Times, in common with all its party and man;K others in the North, have decided this question ii

their own minds, and they are unwilling to have ig disputed, much less discussed before the law. T<3 deny or doubt the guilt of "rebels" is itselfa crimed with them.r On the other hand, the South has ever challenI. ged this trial. Her people have always been wil

ling to have their action in seceding brought be1 fore a national court and decided by the constitu

tion. They believe they had the right to secede, that right was discussed for years before they a

. vailed themselVes of it, and it had never been denied by a constitutional authority. Yet in the fact

of all this, the Northern people took it upon themselves,without a trial or the form of one, to pronouncesecession rebellion and the greatest oi

crimes. The appeal to arms decided that theSouth was not strongenough to maintain the right,and it has consequently become void. It did notfix upon the South any crime in seceding, for thereason that neither the constitution nor the SupremeCourt had pronounced Secession a crimebefore the war.

The Timet, however, says that the war decidedthe criminality of Secession, and that the trial o!Mr. Davis will detract from, and not confirm , thatdecision. It says:"The forthcoming trial is veiy likely to do ui

damage and discredit We see no way in whictit can possibly do us good. If Davis should b<convicted, he will not be punished: no one believe.'for a moment that he will be either executed oi

imprisoned. His conviction would not deepen theimpression of the guilt of the rebellion on the publie mind in the least degree; indeed, the fact thai

'< its guilt is allowed to be solemnly called in ques'tion will infallibly weaken the public sense of itenormity, and cause it to be regarded as a subjecton which opinions may justly differ. Ifhe shoulcbe acquitted, as he may bet the conseauenoee, es

pccially on public sentiment in the Southern Stateswould be still more injurious. And consideri ng th<

onrl milibrA of the nreaidinar DistriciJudge, (Underwood), the mode of constituting the

i'uiy and the prevailing temper of the parties wholave control of the whole prooeeding, there is rea

son to fear that steps may be taken to procure i

conviction, which will reflect more lasting disgraceand inflict deeper injury on our whole poutical systern than even an aoquital would involve."There is another point which shakes the nerve.*

of the TWsraan. Mr. Davis may, and probebljwill, be acquitted, and what then ? His goadingconscience urges him to the following oonfesfion :

"If Davis has not been guilty of treason.if secessionwas a right.whatlias been the history oithis nation for the last six years, but the most awfuland tremendous reveliy of crime the Bun evei

shone upon ? If he is tried, he may be acquitted.Unless the trial becomes itselfa greater crime tharthe alleged offence.unless what pretends to be £

solemn appeal to absolute and supreme abstracljustice, is turned into a paltry ana contemptibletrick.we are bound to admit that this man mat,go forth from the bar relieved of all stain of guilt,carrying the sanction of the judical tribunals oithe nation, for the whole tremendous transaction olwhich he was the recognized and responsible bead."

AGRICULTURAL NEWS.. The use of lime as a fertilizer is on the

increase in the South. A correspondent of theRaleigh Sentinel states that a lime kiln is in operation

in Catawba county, N. C., which bums twchundred tons of lime per month, the greater partof which is sold, and the demand is increasing.There is an almost inexhaustible suppy of limestonein that county.. Letters from Florida, to merchants in Charleston,predict that there will not be more then fivethousand bales of long cotton shipped from thatState this year; also that there will not be a thirdof a crop made in the State. x

. The Arkansas Gazette of the 19th ultimo says:"This year's experience will be sufficient to convincethe firmest friends of cotton culture that itmust be abandoned at once, or our planting com

munity will be bankrupted, vv e unuersianu mai

planters in this vicinity are now paying one dollaiper hundred, for picking cotton. This is equivalentto three and a half cents a pound for lint cotton,

and to this add the tax, and one half the valueof a pound of cotton in this market is consumed.Now is the time for sowing wheat, and we trust a

large crop will be put in this year. Planters are

under no obligations to ruin themselves by plantingcotton, merely to furnish employment to lazy,capricious negroes. Wheat is worth $250 peibushel in the Western markets. At this price it£production would be profitable on any soil in theState.".A correspondent of the Charleston Mercuryproposes the formation of one or more joint stockcompanies, for the purpose of cultivating the ricelands on the Ashepoo river. He estimates thelands at five thousand acres, worth on an average.$50 per acre. The plan proposed is to form e

company with $500,000 capital, with shares a1

$100, one half payable in money, and half inland. The crop produced by the company, it ifestimated, will be 150,000 bushels ; which, wit!the diminished expenses of cultivation caused bjworking on a large scale, will yield a profit of tor

per cent on the capital of the company.. It is estimated that 600,000 pounds of beet

sugar will be made in Illinois the present season,

from the product of 600 acres.

He occupiedr the same position in Louisiana, but swindled the3 negroes to such an extent as to cause them to pe;tition for his removal. In personal appearance het is represented as hideously ugly.theoretically,praotically, decidedly ugly. We are told that he

3 looks like a cross between a gorilla and a Spanisht pack saddle. His head looms up like a pyramid1 ofjeDy, or a sugar loaft and is so sharp on top that- it serves as a horn, with which he can bore his, way into his neighbor's corn crib or ben roost..

3 His face looks like a shriveled pumpkin or a "greent gourd Under the place where the Forehead ought3 to be, he has two little foxy eyes, which twinkle> and dance till they rest upon a greenback, whenthey become as fixed and rigid as the eyes of an

i Egyptian mummy. In the centre of the face.3 there sticks out a something that looks like a foul- India-rubber pipe stem, dripping with ambier.which some peopte;call a nose. The mouth would

) do credit to a cat-fish, ''flakes of flesh hang down, around it, like thosfc on the jole of a fat mastiff"..rThe chin comes down like the little end of an egg,

' and is fortunately covered with hair. All the otherfeatures of the face are envious of the loeky- chin, and deplore that they cannot be covered upt too. Gill's great beauty consists in the hump upon his back. This lump of valuable flesh is as

' large as the hump upon a hickory tree. It wouldexcite the envy of an Eastern dromedary, or an

Gill carries his punk in this protruberance,' his brains, or his stealings, we are unable to say;s but it is certainly a worthy ornament in the rearr for the charming face in front. Gill and his washier-woman once had a dispute about a small bill,? and the result is there is a great antagonism beftween that useful and indispensable lady, and hisshirts^ and of course his linen is as much defiled ashio mind in imnnro. and his bodv is as dirtv as hisheart is corrupt 6e is stilted; up on a couple of

LETTER FROM EX-GOV. GRAHAM.Hon. W. A. Graham, of N. C., who recently

came out against a convention, in a letter which; was extensively published by the North Carolina[ press, has written a second letter on this question,which we think too good to keep from our readers.

Hillsboro', Oct 25, 1867.J. A. Engelhard, Esq., Hear Sir: Yours of

; the 21st inst, found me from home. I have nowread the editorial it contains, and am of opinionyou givo the proper interpretation to the act of

[ Congress in regard to the call of a Convention, andconcur in your suggestion, that opposition to thecall may be as well, and perhaps more effectuallyexpressed, by not voting on that question, than bya ballot in the negative: provided there is a generalconcurrence in .action of those opposed to extendingtho right of "suffrage indiscriminately tothe colored people. This being the only specific

! Object to be provided for by the proposed Convention, there arc two questions presented to the electors,namely:

1st. Whether the State of North Carolina shallretain the right to regulate the exercise of suffrageamong her own population, as is the case in Ohioand all the States of the North, or shall have itregulated for her by these latter States, and in a

' manner different from the rules they adopt forthemselves?

2d. Whether the vote of a white man in North, Carolina shall have the same weight hereafter asthat of a white man in Ohio, Pennsylvania and oth1er Northern States, or shall be neutralized and

1 made of no effect by that of the black man here,; who is forbidden this privilege in other States ? *

1 The representatives of civilized England gainedi an immortality for themselves by a negative answerl "Nolumus miLlare"1 (we are unwilling to adopt, the change proposed) on a question of far lessgravity; nor do I read that it subjected their coun1try to any additional penalties or inflictions. Congresshas provided none except the continuance of

t military government in our case, and the individ,uals who brandish threats over our heads in theevent of non-compliance, have given no assuranceof restoration of equality with themselves, if wenhmdnn our own iudements and conform to theirs.In such a condition, while we would gladly receive

' light and instruction from any source, we would actat last in theconclusions of our own understandings.While far removed from any temper of levity or

. defiance, I cannot better illustrate my idea of the!

final consequences of a negative course in this greatcrisis than by this anecaote, with which, amongmany othera of English life, Mr. Webster used toentertain his friends after his visit to Europe. An

5 old member of the Commons was descanting to a> younger upon Parliamentary law, saj'ing "that in5 the occurrence of any disturbance in the House it.was the duty of the Speaker to call to order, andif it continued, to repeat the call in louder and more

1 emphatic tones; but lfthis failed of effect and the disorderwas persisted in, the Sneakershould direct the

f Sergeant-at-Arms to take tne mace, the emblem ofthe authority and dignity of the House, wliich is

1 always placed on the right of the chair when theHouse is in session, and holding it in both his

} hands, to go down upon the floor and display itamong the unrulv-meihbers." And here he paused.

- .But, inquired tne jtmior, "suppose they do not1 come to order then, what is to bedone?" "Well,"j replied the senior, "well, the Lord knows, there isnothing said about it in the Law of Parliament"To the same omniscient source, within whose knowledgeis the final sanction for disorderly Parliaments,

» SHERIFF'S SALES.""

Our readers are greeted this week with an unu-1sually long list of Sheriff's Sales. All of theproperty offered Ls for the non-payment of taxes,and the startling length of the advertisements nowpublished, is due to the leniency of the Sheriff,who has given the delinquents all the indulgenoeallowed him by the law. Now, however, the timeof this indulgence is nearly at an end. He hasbeen required, by the Comptroller General of theState, to collect all taxes due the State by the 30thof this month. If the taxes are not paid by thattime, the lands levied on must be sold on the firstMonday in next month. Parties interested will,therefore, find it to their advantage to pay theirtaxes during this month, as they will, by so

doing, save themselves some costs.

He is anegro, intelligent, partially educated, ambitious, cand a demagogue. He has been in favor and out &of favor several times within the last two years;and has been on both sides of nearly every great |question before our people. C. M. Wilder is a emulatto, of fine features, intelligent, and eminently £

gentlemanly in his bearing, and as well educated as £any of his race. He is a carpenter by trade, and cstands well in the community. T. J. Robertson is *

a . white man. S. B. Thompson is a mulatto carpenterof the better class, and bore a good characterbefore he entered the arena of politics; and it is to ,

be hoped that he will not suffer as much as usual ifrom that contamination. All four of these. and :

they make a good team.are thoroughly radical,and will doubtless be true to their party or c

league oaths, which made them tools in the handsof the Radical Leaders in the 'North. These delegateswe assume will be elected, and will assist in A

making a new Constitution for South Carolina. £We have already expressed our opinion of that fconstitution. that it will be an agent of destruction £U>t\xe negro raoe. They are no doubt willing to ^make the experiment; and so, in their day of sorrow,they can point bloody fingers at none other £than themselves.A counter movement is on foot however. The £

Conservatives have taken steps.rather late in the Iday, it strikes us.to have a Convention in the *interests of the white citizens of South Carolina, cto be held on the 6th instant It is to be not a CConvention proper,' but a meeting of delegates ^from all parts of the State, to do all that can be idone in the premises:. to write anaddress to ourpeople; to memorialize Congress; and to organizeto prevent, if possible, the negro-ocracy that is a- c

bout to be forced upon us. This movement ema- \nates from men of position, ability, and character;and good may oome of it It is the part of true <

philosophy at least to hope. .

TRIAL OF THE PICKENS RIOTERS. e

The trial of Alexander Biyce and nine negroes, ion the charge of the murder of Miles M. N. Hunnicut,took place at Pickens C. House on Thurs- c

day, before nis Honor Judge Dawk ins. The State °

was represented by the Solicitor, Horn J. P. Reed; <3the prisoners by Generals McGowan and Easely,Messrs. Norton and Adams. The evidence ana 8

arguments occupied two days, and the jury, after can absence of half an hour, brought in a verdict tof guilty with referenoe to December Gadsden, 3Nat. Frazier, John Keith, Jack Walker, Green 1

Cleveland, Jr., and Jackson Henderson.all col- ,

ored. Not guilty with reference to Alexander 8

Bryce, .white man, and Captain Deane, Bob Breck- jinndge and Mark Adams, colored. rThe testimony of the President of the Union F

League proved that all of the parties named constitutedthe guard sent out to arrest Bob Smith, ?the white man who had fired a pistol in the neigh- ^borhood of the League; that a portion of this Iguard were armed with guns and pistols, and un- daer.the direction of Jackson Hendereon as Sergeant;that December Gadsden, the Vice Presi- fdent of the League, from the description ofhis £size and his beanng on the occasion, was the one twho fired the fatal shot which took the life of ^

young Hunnicutt, the others being accessory to c

the crime. It also appeared in eviaenoe given byboth white and black, that the negroes used the c

most violent threats and language, imprisoned the 1

white men present, in the Aoademy, and evinced a jjdesire to prolong the disturbance and resort to aarms. tThe ease was ably presented to the jury on the \

Sart of the State, and Generals Easley and Mc- *owan defended the prisoners with more than

usual eloquence and power. The judge charged *

the jury on the law cfearly, and both law and fact [were then submitted to their consideration, with sthe result above stated. ; i

The sentence of the court was that the parties 1convicted should be executed at Pickens on the I6th .of December next

On Saturday the negroes indicted for riot on jthe 13th of October, the dav following the murder, \together with Alexander Bryce, white man, were ]tried.the same counsel, with the addition of Jas. ]H; Whitner, Esq., representing the parties.Eighteen out of the thirty tried were convicted ]ana.'sentenced as follows:
