The DECISION AS TO MILITARY COMMISSIONS.
The decision pronounced by the Supreme Court
has produced profound sensation in Washington.
Independently Of the vast importance of the matter
decided, it is regarded in Democratic and Conser-
vative circles as Indicative of soundness upon con-
stitutonal law Of the personnel of the court, that
may be relied upon as barrier against the medi-
tated ursurpation of Congress. It has been sug-
gesed by very prominent and influential men that
measures will shortly be taken to test the status of
the unrepresented States before the court-and no
doubt exists but that the lawfuness of their pres
ent organizations would be sustained.

Rar A colony of freedmen, consisting of three
hundred heads of families, comprising above two
thousand men, women and children, is to be estab-
lished west of New Smyrna, thirty miles south of
Fernandina. They come from South Carolina,
and are in charge of General Ely. The Govern
ment gives them one month subsistence and trans
portation and they supply themselves with two.
The country which they are to occupy is well adapt
ed to cultivation, has fine range for cattle, and
abounds in fish, oysters and game. Col. Sprague,
the District, guaranteed military pro
lection, and with this military supervision, togeth-
er with well directed industry, their condition must
be greatly improved.

GEN. SHERMAN ON THE SITUATION IN Mexico.
Gen. Sherman has reported to Washington his
views of the situation Of affairs in Mexico. From
expressions, dropped by him it is evident that he
is disappointed as to the popularity of Juarez' s
party, and fully admits that there are SO many rival
factions and interests that American Intervention
in Mexico is very distastefu1' He has, however,
only mixed with the Imperial party eS,ont on the frontier
views with the people of the interior who are most
" Liberal The Frehch officials treated him with
courtesy. 1t is positive that Juarez who is sup
posed to be at Chihuahua, has been requested to
meet Campbell at San Louis Potosi about the 5th
of January. As soon as Sherman receives further
instructions he will return to Mexico.

Who CAN ANSWER IT ?-The following novel
question has been submitted to us for publication:
Suppose man and girl were to get married the
man thirty-6ve years old and the girl FIVE years;
this makes the man seven times as old as the girl,
and they live together until the girl is ten years
old, this makes the man forty years old, and four
times as old as the girl and if they still live to-
gether until she is fifteen, the man would be forty
they still live on till the girl is thirty years old, this
makes the man sixty, only twice as old, and so on.
Now, how long would they have to live to make the
girl old as the man. at the same rate of reason
