the Result of the Campaign.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7-General satisfaction
was expressed at the War Department upon the
receipt of the news of Geronimos surrender.
Great praise is bestowed upan General Miles for
the excellent conduct of the campaign. General
Crooks work is not forgotten. 1t is said the re-
suits of General Crooks campaign were of great
value 10 General Miles, and the latter has sub
stantiaily followed the plan outlined by his pre-
decessor. With increased forces it has been pos
sible to guard every water-hole. and effectually
defeat any attempt of the hostiles to return to
their reservation. General Drum, acting Secre
tary of War; was in good spirits after the receipt
of an official dispatch confirming the press re-
ports of the surrender He said that this was
the end of running. with brief intermis-
sions through twenty-five years, and General
Miles deserved credit for his vigorous work ,
Captain Lawton had also distinguished himself
gallant officer, and his pursuit of the hos
tiles, under adverse conditions and hardships,
was thoroughly commendable. The acting Sec
retary was not prepared to say what disposition
would be made of the captives but certainly, he
said, nothing would be done in the
matter until the Presidents wishes were
known. The original dispatch had been
promptly transmitted to the Adriondacks for the
information of the President, and until he had
been heard from the Indians would be held in
confinement at Ft. Bowie, A. T. Other officers
of the department were especially gratifed at
learning that Geronmo's surrender was uncon-
ditionaL The opinion prevails in some quarters
that the Indians will be transferred to the Gus
tody of the Interior Department for time, and
that Geronimo and his lieutenants will ulti-
mately be surrendered to the civil authorities of
Arizona and put on trial for murder, with a
suit that would require little effort to guess An
officer of high rank, however inclines to the be-
lief that the President will never consent to sur
render Geronimo to the civil authorities, but
will order his trial by court martial if it should
be regarded proper TO try him at all. The
same officer said that the successful ending Of
the campaign would be of inestimable value to
the Territory of Arizona, where hostiles had so
ravished and harriei an area of rich country 200
miles square as to render it uninhabtable.

HOW 1T ORIGINATED.
Scared Politicians Who Thought the "Patri-
Otic Sons" Were KnOW-Nothings.

CHICAGO Sept THE press dispatches which
have been sent over the country the past week
alleging the existence in this city of three
Know-nothiug lodges. with membership of
over three hundred, have brought to this city
numerous letters of inquiry as to the exact nat
ure of this movement. Investigation into this
matter develops the belief that the report in
question originated with frightened politi-
cans of foreign nationality, who are alarmed
at the rapid strides which have Of late been
made By the organization known as the 'Patri-
otc Sons of America" especially since the An
arehist outbreak Of May last This order, how
sTer, is not new one. 1t was first organized in
Philadelphia, i'll 1847 and although its opera
spns were suspended durng the war, they were
rsumed with increased vigor in 1866 At the
plesent time its Importance rests upon the fol
loving feature of its cardinal principles:
I'VE believe that, all other things being equal,
AZ American should be preferred for each Office
o trust and profit in the gift of the people to a
person of foreign birth"
1--WE believe that under no circumstances
should the government of any department in our
national, State or municipal governments be
given over to the management of aliens"
"We believe that Americans should have a
right to govern their own country, and manage
their domestic institutions in their own way
without foreign influence of any kind or char
acter."
1t is claimed by members of the order that
its members in Cook county have been in
creased By several thousands since May last,
and that every addition has been voter In
a mixed population. such as that of this city,
Its value political factor is not to be de-
spised. and this is what is alarming the poti-
clans aforesaid. The State officers of the order
have Just issued stirring manifesto, in which
it declares that thousands of foreign born citi-
zens are assuming to become rulers rather than
citizens; that they have brought with them for
eign modes of manipulating elections and fraudu-
lent combinations for corrupting the ballotbox;
that they are engaged in an unholy crusade
against the public schools, and have organized in
every large city of the United States openly and
without disguise bands Of foreign ecclesiastics
who are bound by sworn obligations to oppose
and destroy the system of free education, and
that, in brief, this foreign aggression utter
hostility to our Constitution and laws, and to all
the traditions of our American ancestors. The
address declares, in closing, that against these
alien Anarchists, and their nefarious modes and
principles, the order has assumed indignant and
aggressive hostility.

though this is an off year and there are no cues
tions of public policy Of very important nature

the First district resulted as follows: Stewart,
Republican. 2.o70 votes: Brigham, Democrat.

In the Second congressional district the elec-
tion resulted AS follows: Grant Republican,
1889 votes; Folsom, Democrat, 1,644 majority
for Grant of 1865.
Out Of thirty towns, twenty-five are for
Edlnnnds: from six there is no report, one is
anti Edmunds. and two have no choice The
returns are coming in very slowly. Sixty-four
towns give Ormsbee II $685. and .Shutleff 6, 1872, a

tives; from seventeen there is report; four

The opposition to the new Public Printer Is in
creasing The Typographical Union is looking
up Mr.. Benedict's record on the labor question,
and claims to be able to show that when he was
in the New York Assembly he was an enemy
of organized labor, and that he always voted to
perpetuate the convict-labor System in the State;
that he voted against a proposition to submit
the question to the people, and that he also
voted against bill to establish a State printing
Office 1t is also claimed that Mr.. Benedict is
not practical printer. as required by the law

The Grand Army of the Republic has also
taken up his case, and claims that he was a rank
copperhead during the war, tried to dssuade
men from enlisting in the Union army, and pub
lshed bitter Southern paper at Ellensville
called the Banner of Liberty, which had an ex-
clusivey Southern circulation
Mr.. Benedict has not reached this city, but
his brother was questioned upon the subject of
these charges to-day. He said he was not fa-
mliar with all his brothers. acts while he was in
the New York Assembly, but believed that he
had always been and was now friend Of labor
organizations, and had done what he could to ad-
vance their interests. In regard to the point
that his brother WAS not practical printer, Mr..
Benedict said: THE law on this subject was
thoroughly looked up at the request OF the Presi-
dent before his appointment was decided upon,
and it was found that my brother was eligible.
My brother has been in the printing and news
paper business many years. and took occasion to
familiarze himself with all the practical work of
the printing and publishing business Like my
self. he has been in the business nearly all his

The department is very anxious to get the one

possible as the demand is very large, and it is
expected that thirty or forty million dollars of
silver certificates will be put in circulation

II is felt that something is lost by every days

The Government Has No Fear that 1t Will
Pass the House of Commons
LONDON Sept Mr. w. s. Caine, member
of Parliament for Barrow-in- Furness. who acted
as whip for the Chamberlainites in opposing the
home-rule bill, was visited at the Reform Club
by correspondent and asked what he thought
of Mr. Parnell's proposed eviction bill. its prob
able scope, and its chance of success.
II don't care to say anything about it at pres
ent," said Mr.. Caine. Il would rather see the
bill first"
"But we are we'll informed that the bill will
be framed on the lines of Mr.. Parnell's speech"
II dare say; but you know the Parnelites are
always up to such tricks to deceive the unwary
that until we see the bill we cannot possibly
know what they mean. Mr. Morleys request
that the Irish party make the bill moderate in
its terms may mean anything or it may mean
nothing. 1t may be simply trap to catch the
Liberal Unionsts, but / can assure you they will
not easily fall into it, and to my mind it is very
doubtful whether the Parueliites really wish to
pass the bill. Mr.. Joseph Cowep, of New Cas-
tie. remarkably shrewd man and a thorough
friend os Ireland, told me only yesterday that
he believed the bill was not intended to pass,
and you will find this opinion held By majority
OF those who best know the Parnellites and their
methods
In the lobby of the House of Commons Mr.
Game stated that neither himself nor Lord Hart
ington entertained the slightest fear for the
result of the division upon any bill brought
by Mr.. Parnell at this time, however strongly
it may be supported. He expressed the belief
that Lord Harrington and his followers would
oppose it both in debate and division, and
the Chamberlainites would abstain from
voting. Anyhow" said Mr.. Caine, there is
no chance of the bills passing, and am going
away for holiday. Furthermore, have reason
to believe that the bill hasn't been drafted yet"
