THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

Frequent mention has been made lately, in the Eng
lish and continental papers, OF the military league Tor
mutual defence comprising almost all the European
powers except France and Russia, and bearing the
general title Of the German Confederation. This
prominence ha been given TO in consequence OF the
threatening position assumed by France; and as the
possibility Of in Europe is not yet entirely re-
moved, Il may be interesting TO our readers TO know
Of what elements the league Is composed, and what
power could bring into the field against the Gallo
nation.
The army Of the Confederation consists Of 10 corps
Of which are unmixed, and mixed OF composed Oh
the combined compliments Of several different states
Du.ing peace is not required that the whole amount
Of each contingent shall be in active service, many De-
ing away leave but il is requisite that one,stth OF
the foot and two-thirds Of the cavalry should De al
ways employed. Those on leave, however, must pre-
sent themselves each year, and be exercised Tor SIX
weeks.
The following is the exact quantum OF troops sup
piled by each state according the last arrangement
made by the Diet in December, 1880, nor Is any
state required supply than at first settled,
although since that time 1927 the population in some
is considerably increased.
Corps No. ., ? and 3-Austria contributes three
army corps, amounting in all to "a S22 men, with 1872
pieces of cannon.
Corps No 4, 5, and g. Prussia contributes army
corps, amounting in all to pa men, with l6O pieces
Corps No. bavaria contributes | army corps,
amounting in all to IS GOO men, with y pieces of can
non.
Corps No. s.--Wurtemberg, Grand Duchy Of
Hesse, and Baden, together, contribute Amy corps,
amounting in all to 80, $50 men, with 90 pieces OF
cannon.
Corps No. 9.-Saxony, Electoral Hesse, and Mas
sau, together, contribute army corps, amounting IN
all TO 81 ,7ls men. with "A pieces of cannon.
Corps No. 10. Hanover, Holsein, Lunenburg,
Brunswick, Mecklenbnrg Schwerin, Mecklenbnrg
Sirelitz, Odenburg free towns OF Lubbock, Bremen,
and Hamburger together, contribute army coips,
amounting in all TO 2s03s men, with DO pieces Of
cannon.
The remaining confederate States, instead OF form
ing any army corps, required by the last arrange
ment 10 form in common body OF infantry reserve
which amounts in all to II 800 In order TO the
maintenance of these several forces each state re-
qured to contribute certain TO the general fund
The grand total amounts to 300 92S men, and 53f
pieces of cannon. But it must be observed that the
numbers above given only the required miuinun,
from each of the confederate States and that in case
of need the force actually contributed might probably
be doubled-N. y. Com. Adr.

10 pass the bill as II was Introduced he regretted to
see gentlemen much behind the age in which they
lived in reference to subjects Of this kind if they kept
equal pace with the people they should at once do
what justice, and mercy, and humanity called upon
them to do.
Mr. CRITTENDEN said the bill provided that il
the creditors dissented it should arrest the judges
granting certificate and the matter was TO be put
upon trial and if il then determined that the
debtor bona fde bankrupt, the Judge should
grant the certificate, without the of the
creditors But proposed to alter il to
make the consent of the creditors indispensable in all
cases. Now the mischicvous consequences of such
power being vested in the creditors shown in the
report of the British Commissioners to which he had
before referred and TO extract from that report he
begged 70 call the attention of the Senate. Having
read the extract
Mr.. WRIGHT suggested modification of the
amendment OF the Senator from Missouri his I'M
preston that majority of the creditors was suf
cient and he hoped his friend would substitute
jory for two-thirds whose consent the certificate
should be granted Ii he understood the question
then before the Senate, il very important
The State Legislatures by the Constitution, could
not cancel the obligation of contracts and the ques-
ton presented TO the Senate was on what condition
they would do IL Should il be entirely without the
concurrence action of the creditors And If so
upon what principle would they proceed Why was
the appeal made TO them now II he understood it,
il was that man may have great many crediorst
and may compound with all but one and that that one
might be incorrgiblc But they were prepared to 20
farther than To say that the debtor should be dscharg
Cd when he secured the good will Of his creditors
number and value II he could no, procure the con-
sent Of majority, equity would appear to be strong
on the side of the creditors He, however only rose
to suggest modification Of the amendment which he
wished the Senator from Missouri to adopt.
Mr. BENTON accepted the notification
Mr. MERRICK was in ia Of the exercise of the
power which Congress possessed to pass an uniform
bankrupt law, but there now but about three
weeks remaining Of the session. and therefore what
ever labor they might undertake in reference TO this
BILL il would do good for the measure could not be
matured IL the bill passed the Senate il couG not
pass the other branch of Congress- and therefore he
looked upon the time which would be consumed in a
discussion upon this bill much valuable time lost
to the obstruction Of other measures which might be
matured and passed He had therefore, risen to move
and he did It in no spirit Of hostility to the bankrupt
