Foreign Affairs.

EUROPEAN PoLITics.-It is announced
in the court journals of Europe that the
leading objects of Victor Emmanuel's visit
to the Emperor of Germany at Berlin, is
to secure an understanding with William,
the Kaiser, for joint action against possible
French aggression, and to prevent the
election of French Ultramontane to the
Papacy. Following on the heels of this
rumor is a report that Count dc Chambord
has given his supporters assurances Of a
peaceful policy with regard to Italy in case
he should be placed on the French throne.
1t looks as if Germany and Italy were
playing into the hands of Count de Cham
bord in this game. Victor Emmanuel
wishes to secure the election of Pope in
his interests At the same time he desires
to break down the Republic in France,
and thus stihe the voice of freedom in his
own country. If he can make union
with Germany upon these points an i'm
portant step in this direction will be gain
ed His throne will be propped with new
bayonets, and France turned from repub-
lie to despotism; from standing men
ace to kingly rule in Italy to an ally in de-
Tense of the one-man power. The Count
de Chambord declares that if he mounts
the throne of France his policy will be u
peaceful one in relation to Italy. That
means he will support Victor Emmanuel
in his conflict with the people. This as
surance will doubtless be satisfactory. to
Germany and Italy at the present time
Whether these powers viii openly espouse
the cause of the Bourbon claimant Of the
throne of Spain depends upon circumstan-
ces. That their secret agents are moving
in that direction, and will keep their faces
toward the restoration of monarchy, is
certain The people of France have a
hard contest before them to perpetuate a
Republic in the face of the Holy Alliance
of crowned heads in Europe. But the
people who carried on the contest with
Prussia after the battle of Sedan, and paid
the war debt in few years, can do any.

Forming the most concentrated, universal and
durable fertilizer ever offered to the farmers
combining all the stimulating qualities Of Pc
ruvian Guano, and the ever durable fertilizing
properties Of Bones. Excelsior is in fine dry
powder, prepared expressly for drilling, and
can be applied in any quantity, however small,
per acre; and 1t is the opinion Of many close
calculating Farmers, after FOURTEEN years
experience in testing it side by side with other
popular fertilizers, that an application OF 100
pounds Of Excelsior is equal to from 200 TO
300 pounds Of any other fertilizer or guano
offered for sale, therefore is fully 100 to 200
per cent. cheaper.

ms last statement Is made without re-
gard to the interest due and unpaid, or
accrued, or cash in the Treasury at the
dates named. By adding interest due and
unpaid, and interest accrued, and deduct
ing cash in the Treasury for the past two
fiscal years, we have the following result

"a net reduction during the fiscal year OF
s43,667 ,630.05. The reduction for three
years, from July /, 1870, to July /, 1873,
is S246, 189, 434. The net reduction dur
ing the last fiscal year being only S43,-
667 $50, is rather less than one-fifth Of
the whole reduction as shown by the ag-
gregato figures given. But this, as as
sumed by the New York Erening Post, is
because the net receipts Of the year 1872
exceed those Of the year 1878 by forty-one
and half millions, while the total cxpen-
ditures Of 1872 fall short of those Of 1873
by thirteen millions. The cause Of this
falling off in receipts need not be specif-
cally examined at present, further than to
say that the tariff has furnished less by
almost thirty millions than it did last year,
and that the Internal Revenue Department
shows falling off of almost seventeen
millions. Five millions more Of the in
come of 1873 than of that of 1872, are,
however, credited to miscellaneous sources,
