Bomb bardment 81 Rustehuk- the
Aerald's War Dispatches.

An evening contemporary, the Commercial
Advertiser, pays one of our Eastern CORE
spondents compliment which we accept
and value because we believe it to be just.
In the introduction to an article reprobating
the indiscrimina.e firing Of the Russians
upon hospitals and foreign consulates the
Commercial says:-"To those who have
already witnessed bombardments of Euro
pean cities the cable description of the
bombardment OF Rustchuk, rs published
by the HERALD, appears to be ms accurate
rs it is we'll written. We can offer our con-
temporary this compliment with so much
the more liberty since we take the same
liberty Of pointing to its occasional errors.
Some important conclusions can be drawn
from the poetical description cabled by the
HERALDs correspondent. That the long
cable despatch which we printed yesterday,
describing the terrible and unrelenting
boInbardment Of Rustchuk by the Russians
is graphic and brilliant, is consequence
Of its having been written by an eye
witness under the vivid impression which
such spectacle was calculated to produce.
War correspondents seldom fail in GER
tain kind Of eloquence when they write
sincerely their fresh impressions Of events
that stir the sensibilities Of all beholders.
We do not instruct our correspondents to be
brilliant, but only to be prompt and truth
full; and we are thus far very faithfully
served. In every important event through
out the whole wide extent of the present
theatre of war the HERALD has been the first
to communicate the news to the American
public, and it has given the news
with more fulness and accuracy,
as soon as the cable could bring it,
than our contemporaries have done in
their hating accounts a day or two later.
Our chief pride, however, in our recent
war dispatches is in the fact that we have
outstripped the whole London press, to
which such news is cheaper since it is not
burdened with the heavy expense of ocean
cabling. The excellence Of our service CON-
sists In our more efficient arrangements for
procuring the war news promptly at its
source. We are ahead Of the London press;
although such news is more interesting to
their public than to ours, because we are
better served ut the seat of war.

An Important Fan ancial Change.

An Inn Important FAN ancIaA ShunSes
The Bowery Savings Bank, one of the old
est and most solid institutions in this city,
has issued notice which announces an i'm
portaDt change. 1t is in the following
vords:-
At meeting of the trustees or this institution held
June H. 1877 The following resolution adopted,
viz :--sRcsoived, That tho rate OF interest on tho
bonds and mortgages held by this bank be reduced
from six per cent per annum, said reduction
SAMUEL T. BROWN, President
This change, made by ono of the best con-
Quoted and most solid financial institutions
in the city or State, marks an important
change in the value of money. 1t is under
stood that the managers OF the bank became
aware of the fnct that on first class real prop
erty money can now be borrowed in this
city at rates varying from six to five per cent.
It is said the bank found that the owners
of some Of the best property on which it
held mortgages drawing seven per cent
were paying off their debt and on inquiry
discovered that these persons were able to
borrow at lower rates. The bank thus
found that money which it had most safely
invested was that which was first withdrawn,
and the managers very sensibly concluded
that they would submit to q falling market
rather than be put to the trouble and ex-
pense of reinvesting the funds which were
returned.
Inquiry among money lenders shows that
money is now readily attainable on first
class real estate security at from six to five
per cent, capitalists preferring to lend on q
term of from five to ten years. Our public
corporations usually lend from year to year
plan which is preferred by many owners
of real estate who wish to be able to sell
without encumbrance, if such should be
the purchasers desire. Private capitalists,
however, usually prefer to lend only for a
fixed term of years. The chance announced

ARMY REuNroNs.-Thcre was nothing specially
noteworthy in the proceedings at the different
army reunions in Providence yesterday. The

exceedingly pleasant to those who took part in
them. To the general public, however, the poem
Of Bayard Taylor will be the most valuable and
interesting part Of the whole affair. 1t breathcs
tire spirit Of peace and good will, and is sngu-
lnrly appropriate at the present time when all
parties arc striving to forget the war and the
causes that led to it.

UNFOUNDED RUMORS.
NO COMPROMISE BY THE P. r. R. co.

During last night rumor that the P.
R. II. Co. had yielded to the demands of
the strikers and announced that the or
der making the ten per cent. reduction
in wages would be rescinded, was circu-
lated In answer to an inquiry upon
the subject, President Scott made the
following statement:
"There is no compromise possible.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is
simply protecting its property against a
lawless and frantic mob, which has moth
ing to do with this corporation. 1he ten
per cent, reduction which took place ap-
piled TO every officer and every employe
of this company, from the President
downward, and the assertion that some
salaries were raised that they might not
be affected by such reduction Is utterly
without foundation in fact. This come
pany proposes to rely upon the strong
arm of the law for protection, and ITS
trains will be moved when that protec-
ton shall have been found adequate.
The very slight reduction of ten per cent
that has been made is the only reduction
since the year 1873, and in the interim
since that time the owners of the proper.
ty have suffered a adiminution of revenues
to the amount of forty per cent. against
ten per cent. taken off the salaries of all
employees"
In reference to the conference with
the engineers, yesterday, Col. Scott says:
"The engineers are, as body, perfectly
loyal to the Company. The intervie W
was one of entire gool feeling, and the
engineers said that whatever might be
done by any outside mobs hostile to the
Company, they were in no sympathy
with them whatever"

RaDe.

William Bruister, a Baltimore ship
carpenter, engaged in building a vessel
for Capt. r. T. Larrimore, in Piney Neck
was arrested on Friday and lodged in
Jail on the charge of committing rape
on the person Of Mrs. Peter King, who
resides with her husband on Capt. Larri-
more's farm in Piney Neck. The alleg-
ed rape is said to have been committed
some two or three weeks ago, but infor-
nation of it was not given to the officers
until last Friday. The lady is said to
have been unhurt, and the whole affair
was so quietly managed that persons re-
siding in the immediate neighborhood
were not aware of the alleged outrage un-
til the writ was issued and the person
taken into custody.
A witt was at the same time issued for
the arrest of German named Nick Vulst
charged with attempting to commit rape
on the same lady, but as yet he has tlud-
ed the officers, and has probably left for
parts unknown.-Ce Centreuiile Observer.

VIENNA, July 23.-I hear that Prince

m L WOrlu OF TueSuay.
President Hayes has responded to
the appeal of the G overnor of Penn
sylvania by issuinga calm, firm and
constitutional proclamation, in which
he deals with the railway insurgents
in Western Pennsylvania as Washing
ton dealt with the whiskey insurgents
in the same region, and lorders them
to disperse and retire to their homes
by noon this day. He has given prac.
iical meaning to this proclamation by
sending one of the bravest, most popu-
lar and most trustworthy officers of the
Federal Army, General Hancock, him
self at Pennsylvania. into the State to
enforce it. The disorders which have
compelled the second State in the
Union thus to call upon the Federal
Government for protection utterly
dwarf by their proportions, and by the
damage they have already inflicted

eminent after the Inauguration of
President Hayes in 1877. Ii Is to the
credit of the local administration of
the state of New York that no occa-
SION for such an appeal from Governor
Robinson to the President has yet
arisen here, and that it is most un-
likely that any such occasion will
arise. There is no reason to expect
that it will become necessary for the
Governor of New York to make such
an appeal. Governor Robinson knows
this State Thoroughly. He has examin-
ed The condition of things for himself,
made up his mind that it demands
decisive treatment and, by an order
calling the whole National Guard un-
der arms, shows that he means to deal
with it decisively. II New York can
only maintain order within her limits
by summoning into the fell an army
