War Footing OfEurOpe,

If the present effervescent state of affairs
in Europe should result in war, France
and Prussia would probably be the giants
in the conflict. The military forces that
they could bring into the field are simply
enormous. France, Ala, 632 soldiers on the
peace footing, a field army of 647, 271 men,
or $50, 600 as her war strength. OF these,
$4,000 are ready for instant service. Aus
tria, which is looked upon as the ally of
France, 27S, 40 men on the peace estab-
lishment, S3S, 700 of a war strength or 800, =
600 ready to move. The South German
Confederation, which may become the ally
of France, have 1S4, 406 soldiers on the war
footing, of which 107, 900 are prepared for
instant service. In such coalition France
could WELD about III, 900 fighting men,
with reserve of ,596, 106 trained soldiers
Prussia has 1000 men on the peace or
10000 on the war footing, with 300, 600
ready for immediate operations North
Germany, which would naturally go with
Prussia, has 80, 526 men on the peace foot
ing, Dol, 1898 on the field, or ga, 32l on the
war footing, of which $40 900 are ready to
march This would give to Prussia S46,-
600 men for instant service and 1864, 32l
in reserve. Such are the forces which
would, in all probability, be brought against
each other Should Italy and Russia be
drawn into the contest, nearly another
million of men might be added to the
above figures.
Russia is OPPORTUNITY not idle in pres
ence of the latest great event of Europe.

Important JndIclal Bill.

The following will prove Interesting to
United States officers and litigants in GER
tain cases:
The Senate has passed am important bill
in relation to various judicial proceedings,
which was reported from the judiciary
Committee last April. 1t provides that in
any civil or criminal suit, whether COM
menced before or after the passage of the
act in which the defendant intends to base
his, defense upon the authority of any law
rof the United States, or upon the authori-
ty of any department of the Government
or officer acting on behalf of the United
States, he may, upon giving sufficient sure
ties, have the suit removed for trial into the
Circuit Court of the United States for
the district in which it may be pending. If
the State Court refuses to grant the re-
moVal, he is allowed to take his suit to the
Circuit Court on writ of certiOrdri Suits
of these classes upou which final judgment
has been rendered in the Circuit Court
. may be carried by writ of error to the Su-
preme Court, without regard to the amount
in controversy. The bill also provides
that officers of the United States hindered
or assaulted while engaged in the perform
ance of their duty, may sue therefor in
Circuit Courts of the United Safes, when
the damages claimed are not less than five
hundred dollars and imposes as penalties
for such hindrance or assault fines not eX-
ceeding five thousand dollars, and i'm
prisonment not exceeding five years
