The Zimes, in its second edition, has the following ppecial despatch from Vienna:—Oflictal intelligence trom Beigrade says that the Servians yesterday crossed the frontier at three points. The places ure not mentioned, but, from the position of their forces, it may be presumed that the points are Alexinatz, Lisitze and some point on the Dring, & Simattaneousiy Baron Rodich, Governor of Dolma tia, telegraphs that the Prince of Montenegro led bis army into Herzegovina yesterday. ENGLISH VIEWS OF THE STRUGGLE, The Pall Mail Gazette, to-day, concludes a gloomy leader on the war as follows:—‘‘It is to be a war of face and religion. This is what they are trying to make out of itin Russia, this is the conception of it | which will be instilled into the minds of the vassal pop. | * glation of Turkey, who are not likely to taint for the wantofstimulas. As such it will be regarded in Tur- key, and as such it ts bailed by eympath'zers in our own country. If there is anything wrong in re garding this outlook with apprehension and disike we tre wrong. Nothing at present gives us more concern than the prospects, upon which we have already entered, of seeing in England a division of spinion and sentiment to which the clashings of tympathy for the North or South duriog ever government ruled in England would need steady and sober support from all sides, but already the Min- leteré aro threatened with the bampering of enthusi- isis who explicitly declare themselves realy to sacri. Ice our eafety in the East rather than Engiand should whamo herself by doing anything in opposition to so | boly #1 enterprise as the destruction of Turkey. How tivilizatiou is to be advancea by wars which imperil a tivilization like our own, spread over lalf the world, is nota question which these particular enilusiasts of humanity are likely to consider, nor can we now pre- Sent the argument in any proper form, but we shail bo Bind if they will take it iuto consideration, Since, if flaly understood, it may do something to moarrate a spirit which must giadden those who are as much the foes of tho English as of the Turkish Empire.’’ SRUTRAL, AND PORITIVE IS KRUTRALITY. ‘The Times, in its leading article to-day, says:—“The Princes of Servia and Montenegro hayo entered upon a great enterprise, and must be allowed to tight it out. We do not mean to say that if their eforts proved so successful as to cause a complete break up of the union * between the European provinces and Turkey we might ot be constrained to express our opinion as to the flestination of some one or two of thetn; but these are remote contingencies, the anticipation whereof would ao justity our interfering 10 restrain the Princes, Now we nope and believe that nobody in England dreams of -uch au interfereace, if the thoaght has deun warvored anywhere it must be dissipated as coon as it ay ractical shape.” ‘The article .vnclades with a torecast of the result of the conthct highly antavorabie to Turkey.

He sid tbe time had arrived tor discussion, but only when the papers were before the House, Mr. John Bright blamed Mr. Disraelt for not making ® statement informing the country of his policy. He protested against a policy of war for the maintenance of Turkey. He declared that the Crimean war was un- Juetly commenced, unfortunate in progress and igno- minious in its end, and concluded by saying that the majerity of the nation wanted neutrality. Sir Henry Wolff, conservative, deprecated hasty dis- cussion, and stated that he supported the course of the government. (Cries of “What course ?””) Mr. Fawcett, liberal, demanded to know the policy of the government.

UNPRECEDENTED ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY— POLICE ARRANGEMENTS—DFDICATION OF MON- UMENTS TO-DAY—STATE RECEI TIONS—PRESI- DENTIAL CANDIDATES, Pumaperrura, July 3, 1876. Tho Centennial Anniversary of the Dectaration of American Independence bad a most marked effect on the attendance at the Exhibition yesterday, the grounds being thronged from the hour of opening the gates until long after sundown. Many of those pros- ent were strangers who had como froma groat dis- tance to witness the Philadelphia celebration of the Fourth of July. Every avenue was thronged with delighted guests, and the various structures on the ground seemed, for the first time, actually crowded, So great was the tn- flux of sightseers that, though both steam and street | cars almost doubled their carrying capacity, they were still unable to transport the multitude as fast as they congregated at the various stations along their routes. | A careful inquiry mto the character of the attendance showed'that, although a large proportion of the guests were from Pensylvania and adjoining States, at least one-third of the whoie came from towns and cities very far distant trom Philadelphia, while not a few had but recently arrived from the other side of the Atlan- tic. In tho afternoon the attendance was still more increased by the arrival of excursions from the East- ern and Middle States, and at half-past four o’clock the Department of Admissions estimated the paying ad- missions at 42,000. Among the special attractions at the grounds during the afternoon was the music of the West Point Cadet band at the Lansdown Ravine | Pavilion and the dress parade of the cadets at five o'clock, in the encampment, rear of George's Hill, POLICE ARRANGEMENTS, The police arrangements atthe Exposition to-day in- | elude the posting of over two hundred officers, under Captain Hines, between the concourse and Girard ave nue bridge and notiess than oue bundred will have Positions between Forty-first and Fifty-second streets back to Lancaster avenuc, From the carriage con- course to Fortieth street, ropes will be extended, in order to prevent pressure between these points as over 6,000 members of the ©. T. A. and other societies are to pass through the gates at the northeast corner of tho main bailding. It has been estimated that this number could be passed through two stiles in one hour; but the police authorities ore of a different opinion, and as each mo- ment of delay must increase the preséure of the multi- it has been thought best to provide | for every contingency. All persous arrested to-day will be taken to the station at Forty-first street and fecond avenue, or to the Department of Protection, | at Fitty-second street, and at cither place their, cases will be heard and disposed offwith the !eaat possi- | ble delay. As the number of men who will be on duty near the Centennial grounds, is aboat one-third the entire police force of Philadelphia, the very best order will of course de preserved. The Michizan State Building will be formally opened on Thursday, July 6, Geo. Jobn J. Bagley will hold a reception trom 12 o'elock, noon, to3o'ciock P.M.

The Banking and Currency Committee, not boing able to agroo te report a bill to repeal the Resumption act, It was understood that Mr. Neal, of Ohio, wouid, this morting, repeat his attempt to get a suspension of the rules in order to miroduce an ingependent repealing bill. Hia intention was = defeated by the republicans, who filibustered. through the morning bour for that purpose, There is no doubt that the St, Louis piatfurim and tho nomination of Hendricks, together have strengthened the soft money | wing of the democratic side in the House, They say that the platform is a surrender of the bard money TO TAKE A BACK B8EAT—WHAT IS | | LIKELY TO BE THE EFFECT OF THIS. The substitution of Pinchback for Packer as chatr- Moves a serious biot from the politics of the State and ig a movement toward reform among the Louisiana re- publicans. Packard wasat the t.me United States Mar, | shal and chairman of the Republican Stato Comittee, two offices entirely incongruous, He used his power as Marshal over United States troops to interfere in the elections, and this has been one of the great and just causes of complaint by the conservatives in the State, This is now remedied. The struggle in the Convention has been very bitter, Packard fighting to keep his authority over the party, When bo was bere, ten days ago, he tried to get the Prosident to agree that troops should be sent into the State before the election, and if he saccecds in getting some tool of his, like Lude- ling, the Chief Justice, nominated, bis policy will be as before to call in troops. He has recently given out that unless he or some one of his favorites 18 nomi- | nated for the Governership the party will not have the countenance and help of the National Con- grévsional Committee or of the administration, But this report has been authoritatively contradicted from here tho President and the Congressional Committee both positively declaring that whoever ts nominated shall have their support. It is understood hero that if War- moth 1s nominated he wiil make a square canvass of the State and will resist the calling of troops, THE SENATE SKIRMISH ABOUT PINCHBACK. In the Sonate tho preliminary skirmishing about Mississippi began to-day, and there was for a while a hyely debate, The matter came up trregularly on the question of paying Mr. Pinchhack and Mr. Boutwell, The chairmen of the Mississippi Committec, who was | absent to-day, will” probably make his report | on Wednesday, when a battle royal may be expected | It cannot probably bo denied by the democrats that a bad state of things exists at this moment in Missis- sippi, and there is no excuse for this, for they havo got ridof Ames, have got the State government into their own hands, and can no longer justly claim that they aro abused, The Vicksburg extremists, embit- tered by a growing opposition among the enb- stantial white people to their fire-eating and violent policy, seem inclined to terrorize over the whole State, and to make themselves masters of it by sheer force of shotguns and murder, The democrats in the Senate will make a blunder if they attempt to defend theso men, for they have not the sympathy of the decent and orderly white peoplo in Mississippl. It is believed that the repablicans of the Stato will nominate Senator Alcorn {or Gov- erpor and will put generally on the county tickets substantial white mep, old residents of the State, and by polities whigs. If this policy is car-., ried out the real public sentiment of the State may have achance to shew itself and to put down finally the violent and lawless class which has had its centro in Viekeburg. ‘ PROBABLE RESIGNATION OF POSTMASTER GEN- ERAL JEWELL.

FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasmsxaros, July 3, 1876, THE SENATOR SPENCER AND YARYAN TRowv LE A VERSION OF IT FROM THE SPENCER SIDE— EXPLANATION OF CHARGES AGAINST THE WhLITE HOUSE. Senaior Spencer, gives a diferent version of the the ex-Chief of Sapervising Special Agents. He saya that be bad heard reliably that Mr. Yaryan said that ho “had traced the whiskey frauds to the White House,” and then told Solicitor Bluford Wilson und Commissioner Pratt, as well as Secretary Bristow, that “the parties involved were too big game for him to fol- low, and they must, therefore, take care of them, as be could not? He happened tobe with tho President ono day and told bom of this, at which the latter was some- missioner Pratt subsequently he was asked by that {p connection with the whiskey scandals, and was him that the President had written him a note inqutring about it Senator Spencer re. plied that be had spoken with the President about the sulyect, and was credibly informed that Mr. Yaryan bad made statement to the effect that “he had fol. lowed the whiskey frauds as far as the White House” tn their ramilications Mr. Pratt remarked that if such statement bad been made and was withvut foundation a great wroag had been dove, and determined to send Mr. Yaryan made his appearance, and with considerable positiveness asserted that the state. ment to the effect his baving said that be had traced the whiskey frauds to the Whuie House ‘was damped lic. There was no bandying of words at this, except that Senator Spencer remarked that there was ® difference tn their relative positions, as ho was a Senator and Yaryan but aclerk, and he wag obliged to maintain the dignity of his posi tion, Senator Spencer asked Yaryan to sit down and write out what he bad said Complying with this be wrote nervously:—“When he had followed the whiskey frauds to the White Hlouse there the game would be too big for him, and the Secretary of the Treasury would have to handle matters then himeel{.”” Senator Spencer pronounced this at the time as rather traneparent and equivocal Mr. Yaryan was offensive in lis remarks, and, under the impulse of the tnoment, Senator Spencer made a plunge for him, and Yaryan rushed away to the middle of the room, motioning as if to draw arevoiver. Commis- sioner Pratt and a Mr, Ellsworth then, Mr. Spencer says, interfered, and the former ordered Yaryan to hisown room and be withdrew. Senator Spencer says be had no interest in the whiskey ring, nor did any of bis triends have anything to do with it; out though this occurred in January last he did vothing further alout it except to inform the President of what had occurred. President Grant them wanted to order the dismissal of Yarvan at once, To this | Mr Spencer strongiy objected and protested against anything of the kind being done, remarking that he was then in the midst of @ political investigation and — had been unjustly accused of every sort of scandal, but he did not want to be mixed up with anything so hu- mihaténg as a dispute with a simplo clerk like Yaryan, whom he could take caro of in another way. He says he wont 6o far as to insist upon Yaryan's being kept, and told the President he wanted him, if necessary, to bechargedtohim The statements made about Senator j Spencer having been calied “a liar and coward’ by Yaryan, the former characterizes os untrue, and as to the threat of meeting him at the hotel where both boarded, Senator Spencer says that they did stop at the same hotel (the Arlington), but that Yaryan left the mext day after that on which the scene occurred in the’ Commissioner's office. Senator Spencer expresses himself as totally indifferent about what Yaryan says, and feels that, as a friend of the President, he did what was right, but denies having in any way contributed to Yaryan’s discharge, He proposes, ho says, to atteud to Yaryan in another way. i Rea ea) GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasurxcros, July 3, 1876 RETIREMENT OF COMMISSIONER PRATT.

This bill, with few amendments, !s incorporated ‘in the ~~ report. The only emendments of importance are the following:—The readjusted salaries are to take effect on the Ist of October next; no salary of any postmaster shall exceed $4,000 per annum, ex- cept in the city of New York, which calary shall remain as now fixed by law, and no salary of any post- master, where the appointment ts now Presidential, shall be reduced by the compensation herein estab- lished until the next readjustment, below the sum of $1,000 per annum. ‘The report compromises the appropriation for com* pensation for letter carriers by fixing the amount at $10,900,000 and the item for compensation to post. masters is similarly compromised by fixing the amount at 7,000,000, The committee recommend that the House concur tn the Senate amendment increasing the amount for spe- } cial agents trom $110,000 to $150,000, The differences in amounts appropriated tor the details of the postal | service are similarly compromised in this report by the substitution of asim about midway between the fig ures of the two houses. SECRETARYSHIP OF THE TREASURY. So long as the differences between the House and the Senate concerning the appropriation bills remain un- adjusted, or at least until their ecttlement ts assured by some nearer approach to an agreement, the ques tion whether Senator Morrill, of Maine, will accept the position of Secretary of the Treasury cannot be posi- tively answered It 1s considered probable, bowever, that a substantial agreement will be reached by tho Conference Committee on the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bills next Wodnesday, and that a principle will thus be established which will im- mediatoly result in an agreement as to the other pend- ing conflicts of the sume nature, Ib this event Sen- ator Morrill, it is believed, will qualify as Secretary of the Treasury on the same day, Up to eleven o'clock to-night no statement of a more definite character on this subject is authorized.
