The Choctaw Indians, like the Cher
okees, have . Territorial Government.
which they conduct AFTER their own
fashion. in . quiet and orderly manner.
The Capital Of the nation is Chapla
Tampa, where the Legislature meets,
and to which, on the 9th instant, Cole
man Coca, thsir Governor, delivered
his annual message. He recommends
the adoption OF the colored people,
formerly held IS slaves by the Choc-
taws, and now living within the limits
OF the nation, giving them equal
rights with the Choctaw citizens. ex-
cept In regard to the soil, In that they
are allowed only forty acres Of land
each, In accordance with the terms OF
the tho treaty OF 1906. He recommends
placing the public schools entirely
under the control OF the National
Council, including children OF white
persons not citizens. He II opposed
10 the admission of any bands of white
men - merchants or miners, and
hopes the people Of the United States
will let The Choctaws alone I O enjoy
their rights In their W way. He
says the crops arc sufficient for the
wants Of the people, and much bettel
than for years past. II the tribes could
al b brought under the subsection o.
civil government, ~ proposed by Cap
tain Boudinot, but which the wild In
dams have uniformly spurned, how
much better II would be for them.

Indian Affairs.

Following are points of Commission. CT Smiths annual report, as per tele. graphic report:
 The reports of Indian Superintend elts and Agents convey the unmis- iakable evidence of year of advance in The civilization of the Indians Their testimony ls almost uniform that civil izatlon l. not only entirely practicable, put falriy under way. At least 42.G3S Indians are self-Suppo-ting. Their corn last year amounted Co 2.OOO Ogl bushels, besides potatoes and other yer. alaDles amounting tO 12l 600 busheI,
 The fields under cultivation cover S23 OOO acres, a larger area by 1000 acre, than ever before reported, and nearly 2UO,OUO acres more than in 1871. Near. ly 10000 more Indian families live in houses than did five years ago. The Commissioner expresses the oDiniOn that general Indian war will .vcr occur in the United States.
 He says that the need of the InIian Territory is a government simple in form, and suggests that a government like that provided for the territory oft thu United States northwest of the Ohio River previous to the organization of general assembly, would be the best for the Territory at present. He recommends that the matter be brought before Congress.
 He opposes the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. but recommends that the purchase, inspeC- uons and transportation of goods and supplies for subsistence be done by the government He makes a note in the highest terms of the aid offered by tLe different religious bodies of the cOun try, and earnestly hopes that Congress will remove the difficulties which here tOtOre have been experienced. in pro. curing the enactment of laws and the necessary appropriations for the train ing and education of the Indians None but the best men should be ap- pointed agents, and he expressed the hope that the government will still be inclined to call on the religious bodies of the country to Iame the men.
 It Is not expected that the deficiency this year will rise over S2000,000 for the cost of maintaining all Indians, but the wilder tribes will steadily decrease from this time till they cease to be q burden. It is nOtimprobable that such additional expense may be required in bringing the wilder tribes into the be- ginning of civilization as will make the totals of the appropriations for three or four years 10 come equal Co those ei the last three years, or perhaps greater.

School Question In Italy.

Following is from g Boston paper:
 An intelligent letter writer in Italy points to the fact that public opinion in that country is tending more and more strongly toward the seculsrization of the schools and the complete cx clusion of ecclesissticism from popular education. Four years ago no schools existed in Rome which were not under the control of the clergy; today there are in that city more than twelve thou sand children in the public schools, which are conducted by tEe civil authorities without the assistance of the church. This is an extraordinary exhibit in & city which is the centre Of the power which Is striving in this country to place the public schools un der sectarian authority, and il contains a valuable lesson. For if the Roman population, which is almost wholly attached to the church, decides, after the prolonged experience of the results of entrusting education solely 10 tho clergy, that the system is a bad one, there would seem to be very great reason why we should regard the ex pertinent as one which ought not tn bc permitted here under any circum stances.

Judge Cozzens - His Marvellous
 Country" Etc.

From time to time for the past yea ! or more we have referred to this Coz zcns and his marvellous book. Our at | tcntion was first called 10 him by refer ences in the New England press to th,
 book he was compiling, and again by remarks he was reported to have mad, in public meetings. We next saw anC commented upon press reviews of tho
 book, and finally along came the book which received some notice in these columns. After Mir Mansfield of the Pioneer News Depot in Tucson, re ceiyed a copy, it and its author were mercilessly criticised in that Depot by the "juntas" which may be found there almost any evening. We obtain
 ed sight only at the book, before
 Hon. s. R DeLong purchased and
 took 1t to Apache Pass \ reading of it convinced him that the author never
 was in this part Of Arizona. On his recent return to town, he brought the
 work with him and handed it to LIS for examination. Some weeks ago, we discovered that a man by the name of s. ". Cozzen5 had practiced law in
 La Mcsilla, or published a card that he
 was ready 10 do so. But still the curi-
 osity of our readers about here was
 not satisfied, and therefore something
 further must be discovered The first
 discovery was made by a casual look
 at a copy of The Weekly Arizonian ''
 of April ,, 1860, published in Tucson. To clear up all the mystery in this con necti0n at once. if possible, we will
 say this single copy of that paper was
 handed to IS over five years ago by
 T R. PIstt, Esq, now of Kansas City, Missouri, with the remark that at some lime We might find something of in terest in it, and sure enough we have. The ezac: relationship of Judge Coz zans to or with Arizona, had become @ mater of interest here. somewhat more intense than that of the whereabouts of Charley Ross. The A-izonian '" referred to settles the question, and ere long the "juntas" at Mansfeld's will drop it as matter of mo conse- qucnce "-as Dickens made the famous Toots frequently remark. Wishing 10
 finally dispose of the question whether or not Cozzcns ever saw anything of Arizona, for surely his book of over 800 pages seems to prove that he did moi, we today give the published pro- ceedinCs of & remarkable convention held in this place early in April, 1860; and in these proceedings, some other matters of local and general interest will be found
 Judge Cozzens occupies a singular position in history If for any reason whatever ne should at any time desire to prove that he had been in Arizona and at the same time conspicuously figured, he could successfully produce the record We republish today; on the other hand, should he ever want toI prove that he never was in Arizona, he could triumphantly produce copy of. his book entitled The Marvellous Country" To say anything further of. Judge s. W Cozzens seems super 1uous

Found Again.

What is of more importance than the third term, the Eastern question, our relations with Spain, the discovery of
 a Northwest passage, the discovery of the lost sheep of Scripture memory, or the missing link in the Mexican treaty -is the whereabouts of Charlie Ross. That stray lamb is as bOthersOme as the
 Irisman's flea; if he keeps on jumping about al this rate, he will earn as i'm pOrtant and lasting place in the poetry and romance of the future as ByrOn's
 imaginary "Childe,n n or the everlasting
 Wandering Jew" There have been
 many phases of the Charlie Ross hunt
 but. unless the Iowa find" proves to be
 the "dientical' youth and no mistake,
 the killing of his original kidnappers
 is the most satisfactory feature up to date. IL is not certain, perhaps, that
 his return to society Is the best thing that could happen. He may have de
 generated into an incOrrigiblc hood
 lum, and his parents might wish he had never been born or, it is possible that a worse fate might be in store fol him. For instance, he might be lion ized" to such an extent as to render him of no more use 10 himself In short. it is not improbable that hls dis covery would render him a confirmed nuisance. and il is two to one that the best interests of the youth would be sub served by his remaining incOgr for the remainder of his natural life Besides, just think what loss his finding would be in times when items are scarce. InI case the dispatch should turn out aSI usual, and it becomes absolutely neceS- sarv that Charlie Ross be found, lei Bennett recall StaRly from the wilds Of Africa, and the thing will be accom- plisbed in short order,-Al;a, Decem- her
