OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 20, 1870.
There are but two members of the Cab
met absent at this time, and meeting was
held yesterday, being the first since the
President left on his Western trip. OF
course Indian affairs were talked over, but,
it is said, nothing was determined on. -
Much as many of us will regret it, there
seems to be no proper disposition of this
subject but transfer of the Indian Bureau
to the War Department. The superior
race never considers the wrongs of the in
ferior race. 1t may be, however, that the
Indian will suffer no greater hardships un-
der the Army than under the present di-
vided, inefficient, and corrupt rule. an
ticipate early action by Congress as to the
transfer. The subject is ready for discus
sion on reports made by special commit

ORIGIN or THE NAME ARIZONA. We prefer Col. Hodges version of the name aArizopG." VIZ: Beautiful Madden" but give ihe follOKing from the Argonaut for the beneht of those of more materIalistic views:
 The naming ot Arizona Is easily traced. The early missionaries, Tn exploring the country north of Sonora, by the way of the Gulf of Lower California and Colorado River from Mexico, aruved at part where they encountered many Indians, who were remarkable for having very large and flat tened noses, and the soldiers turmtns the es- cort called that part of the country Narizo- na, or Big Noses. Since then tine name Narizona has been abridged somewhat by dropping the x, and we have Arizona becoming every day more known by reason of its repnted great mineral wealth. Some giteF has given tue origin of tho word as being derived fr''m "aFid zone" but the above is the trus Hariyona. Big Nose, less the letter \, leaving if Arizona.

Prescott people might have even done better with the Ptenix people than the k. K. Co, m trading for their produce.

The will of the late ex-Prince Imperial, by winch he bequeathed about S1s0,0O0 in money 10 various persons, besides life pensions amounting to $2O,O0O year, is not a iGgal document according to English law, not being aitesied by any witnesses.

Ii is probable, however, that the ex Empress would like to carry out the wishes of her son, whet her expressed in legal form or otherwise. But the question is, where Is the money to come from!
