The first train from the north for several days gOs m thIs morning, but It was a bob tbll train made up at Las Vegas, the malls from the esst having been trans fCrred over the washouts a few miles aJove that place.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. I0.-The Army and Navy Register to morrow will say: IT public opinion ID and out of the army has any weight in deciding the fate of Geronimo and hIs murderous band, they will be tried by military commission, speedily convicted and executed with out delay. There IS a precedent for such treatment of them, if one is need ed, in the case of the trial by a military commission of the Sioux after the Min. nesOts massscres ID 1862. Five hundred of the prisoners were then put on triIl, three hundred of whom were found guilty ot murder aud thirty-eight were hanged.

They broke this promise and used their privileges to escape ID order again to teke the warpath. They are paroled taken red handed in acts of war. and should suffer the punishment by the law of lar to such acts of treachery.
