 A PRELIMINARY reconoissance of. the Upper Colorado river has been made by Lieut. Payson, Typographical Engineer U s. A., who returned here on Wednes- day. Levels were run from. Hardyville to Fl Dorado Canon; soundings were taken on the bars offering the worst obstruc- tions to navigation, and shore lines taken !; and as much work was. done as was al lowed by the amount of funds disposable for the purpose. He was accompanied by Capt. Meeden, an experienced steamboat pilot on the river. Lieut.. Payson express ed no opinion as to the feasibility of i'm proving navigation of the river at mod crate cost. Peing subordInate officer he is not expected to express oplniors-only to obey orders. This survey is a starter, which we trust will be made good use of by our next Delegate for securing appro- priations for improving the channel of our river.

JUST as we go to press we learn that cur Supreme Court has joined the "cor- supt ring" which has been expressing the reformers of Yuma County. Our County, in appeals ard applications for mapdamus, had half the cases on the cal: endar; these, have been simply dismissed -ingloriously kicked out of Court, with
 out even the compliment of having the judgment of the. lower Court affirmed. Oh, dear! Oh,. dear! After all the sweet tafy that has been fed to Judge Silent and to Judge French! Let's study law-apd common honcsty-a while, and try again.

HoN. H. J. McKUsICK, Supt. of Railway Mail Service, and having supervision of routes in Arizona connecting with the Southern Pacifc Railroad was here last Saturday, informing himself of mail mat ters in his care. He seemed to De thorough ly conversant with the subject and well posted on our principal mail troubles. From conversation with him we could not avoid drawing, the inference that contrac- tors have had more influence with the Postoffice Department, than its own em- ployees have, He assures us that the justice of Arizona complaints has been verified by him, endorsed. and laid before the Department. We believe that MT. McKusick is on the side of the people and the government in our quarrel with and Congressional influence enough has TOW been secured, to whip the fight and to force contractors to discharge their obligations. We lock for, an early and marked improvement in our mail service, as result of MT. McKusick's visit. He will recommend establishing a postoffice at the railroad terminus, to be moved along as the road progresses. This will be q great accommodation to the public.

 ME. JESSE, SCHULTZ, was appointed a Supervisor of this County last Monday, at two o'clock P. M., to fill vacancy alleged to exist by reason of expiration of term of office of Mr. Charles Baker Previous to the appointment it was not generally known on the outside who had been select ed to receive it. No dissatisfaction has yet been expressed at the appointment of MT. Shultz, who has been a resident of this County for several years, and is amply qualified to make good supervisor. Dur ing the late election he was identified with citizens who desired some changes in the methods of administering County affairs: he will now have an opportunity of assist ing to make those changes. Mir. Baker is understood to believe that the office was not vacant; but as he has expressed an ulnwillingness to hold it, there will possibly be no contest of the appointment. It may require an Act of the Legislature to lega- lize future proceedings of our Board of Supervisors.

THE discovery is reported of coal beds in the orthwestern part of the, State of Sonora, at no great distance from the southern boundary of Yuma County. We have before heard similar reports, but in- vestigation proved the mineral to be obsi- dian in one case and cobalt in another. This time however the discovery of gen uine coal is announced by parties who are competent judges of the article, and who claim to have proved it's character by com busGioh.

 ANNoYIrG errofs in transmission of mails in ArizQna occur with persistent re- sularity. Among those which have hap pened to fall under our notice this week are the following. On the 14th, inst. we received the Enterprise of the 11th, direct from Prescott; and that of the 9th, via Phoenix. The Enterprise of the 10th reached us on the 18th, via ,PhGnix. The mail from Prescott, arriving here, or the 14th, brought down the mail which should have gone from Prescott to Verde. The Salt River Herald reaches us regularly via California, being regularly mailed from Phoenix in the wrong pouch. The Silver Belt rarely comes direct: it usually comes back from California, having passed Yuma in the wrong pouch. Such errors arc caused entirely by carelessness or by igno- rance, By calling atteHtion to them re- peatedly. residents of Prescott and Phoenix can do much toward having them avoided Yesterday, the 17th we received, via Tucson, brass locked pouch, two impor- tant letters pcst-marked at Prescott on the Eth.

IF our Supervisors are really sincere ir their uncertainty as to who was District Attorney of this County for the six months ending Dec 31st, 1878, we suggest thai they cause " stated case " to be made Cl the question, and submit same to any o the Judges of our Supreme Court. This would cost the tax-payers nothing, and would solve the question sooner than is possible in the regular course of litigation MT. Alexander would be satisfied with this course; but perhaps the supervisors would not be-. Maybe they don't want the ques- tion settled.
