Of his manly course in refusing to support
the Potter investigation farce, great howl
was raised among the politicians and agit "a

that he would never return to his scat. Con-
scious of the rectitude of his conduct, he
met. boldly defied, and overwhelmingly de-
feated his opponents, establishing himself
even mor e firmly in the hearts OF his peo-

CON CENTRATION OF TIE TURKISH
REGULARS.

LONDON, September 2. A Consantinople des
patch OF August 30th says according to authentic
information direct from Bosnia aad Herzegovina,
the Austrisns are acting with great energy, with
with moderation and perfect dsc ipline.
The report is circulated that the army of occu-
patton has been guilty of many excuses and cru
elites. These accusations bear similar resem-
blance to the charges brought against the Russian
army in Bulgaria and Roumsnia. This explains
perhaps, the change which WAS recently made 10
the attitude of the Adsuians in the Rhodope CON.
MISSION.
TIL few days ago the Austrian delegate gave
his active cooperation in the preparation of the
report. but now, to the surprise Of his colleague,
he seems iDdisposed TO sign the documents.
l have conversed with Todleben and other lead
ing Russian officials about the report, aud they say
the investigation was evidently made in q biased
spirit, and the commission instead Of studying
seriously the question OF how the refugees IN ighI
be temporarily assisted and ultimately re.estab
lished in their homes, occupied itself almost ex-
clusively with collecting exparte statements fol-
indictments against the Russian army.
They declare that the dignity and self-respect OF
the army and the government prevent them from
giving serious attention to such transparent cal.
umnies.
