by prodigal and proA gate Con
gress on the one hand and an hon.

for having done the right, thing in

Committee says that the latter's
proposition cannot be accepted be
cause to 10 so would be to strength
en- the very dictatorship against
waich this struggle is made. The
Independents did not want to meas
ure candidates with the CAMERON
men they wanted their principles
accepted, and the acceptance guar
anteed. The sole tedt o. sincerity
which the Slalwarts could offer was
the pledge that a new ticket should
be named. And that they would
not give even at :he cost of Demo
cratic victory. The letter from the
Independents contains he polite re-
mark that the StaIwart9 must have
misspPrehendod the main facts.
Iuat IS trae. But their greatest
misrepresentation lay in supposiug
that the independents could be cas-
lily duPed. They realized perfectly
well that if their proportions were
accepted, they would be the yictors
in the contest. There was not any
misapprehenson about that. They
have not at any time meant to yield
on any point of importance to the
perpe!uation Of their machine. Now
they no longer are deceived on any
point They know that the Indie
pendent leaders are aa shrewd as
their opponents, and cannot be de-
ceived with fine words. Mr.. CAME
RON and his followers are wiser now,
but probably not much better men.

The Copperopolis.

From Richard Brown, foreman of the Copperopolis at Blsbee, who came in from that flourishing camp last evening, we learn the following regarding that claim:
 Alta depth of 85 feet water was struck in this shaft which is surprise to the whole district, and forever settles the ques- tion of where the contact between the sy. enite and lime exists. This contact runs right through Copperopolis ground. At the bottom of the shaft is ledge of lead carbonate ore ! feet wide, e,assays from which average $25 in silver and $4 in gold. Tho footwall is syenits, against which is four inches of red Iron oxide identical to that found in the Copper Queen, ln which claim It is known to contain native copper. This water strike is as astonishing as it was ua- expected, for the reason that the collar of the Copper Queen shaft is at least 50 feet lower than that of the Copperopolis, and the water level of the Copper Queen was reached at depth of 300 feet in their in cline shaft As further sinking is impos. sible without pump, cross-cutting will fe started from the 80 level and continued
 eoutheasterly direction towards
 VI lhe hope of striking the exten
 be. Copper Queen ore, which .eQ4h .sses through the Copper King l4lQ is property.

The Complete Returns.

The EPITApH this morning, with enter prise which will nc doubt be commended by its readers, publishes the complete re. turns of the election in this county. AL though not official, the figures can be re- lied on as correct. As soon as the official canvass is made by the board of supervis- ors, which will be this week, large num- Der of copies of the table will be printed for gratuitous distribution among sub. scribers of the EPITAPH, when all who desire copy can be supplied by calling at this office. It will be useful for future reference, more especially so as this is the first election held since the division of the county. It will be observed that the com. plete returns give Neagle majority of 33 over Carr in the county, and that the lat ter's majority over Ward, outside the city, IS only 3G. Thus it will be seen the de. feat of the democratic nominee was due to the unexpected strength of his oppo- nents in the country.

 The latest sensation in novels which we have received from the East IS "Vice Versa" In the main it is humorous, but here and there one comes across bits of quaint philosophy, which causes one to ponder moment or so and then continue his search for more. In brief, it relates the adventures of poItly, irritable old Englishman who, by some hocus.poeus of hls son and a mysterious India stone, is transformed into school boy. In this condition-an old head upon young body-he is sent to school, and of his trials and tribulations there the volume principally relates. It is well worth the reading, and will teach many fathers what they long ago forget, but should keep green in their memory-that they once were boys. For sale at Robertson's post office bookstore.

Presbyterians North aud Sod

The New Orleans Presbytery ef tho Southern Presbyterian church, t 10 meeting in the latter part of OctoberTea6f long and earnest debate, disagree4 te the action of the Southern General A& sembly on the subject of fraterna1 H6IA tions with the Northern Assembly. 1twilf be remembered that the Southern Assem- bly,, in session at Atlanta, last spring, made proatr of basis of fraternal rela. tions by adopting and sending to the Northern Assembly the following resolu. tion, with the understanding that it was to be re-adopted by tho Northern Assem. ply:
 While receding from no principle * we do hereby declare our regret for and withdrawal If all expressions of our As sembly which may be regarded as reflect ing upon the other Assembly.
 The Northern Assembly did not con- tent itself with readopting this deliverance {; it adopted it, but appended to it the fol- lowing explanatory and limiting resolu- tion:
 Resolved, That in the action now to be | taken, we disclaim any reference to the action of previous Assemblies concerning | loyalty and rebellion, but only to those concerning schism, heresy and blasphemy.
 This explanation reached Atlanta dur ing the closing proceedings of the session and bewildered the Southern Assembly. There was some emphatic opposition to it expressed, in which the Missouri dele. gates to the Southern Assembly partici- pated; but telegram from the Moderator of the Northern Assembly, in which he assured the Southern Assembly that the supplementary resolution was not intended in the least to modify the first, or 10 i'm pair the cordial spirit with which it was adopted, and that it meant the warmest good will, dissipated the objections and the Atlanta Assembly, after some hesita' tion, agreed to accept it as satisfactory.
 When, subsequently, the action of the Northern Assembly was explained by the record, there followed feeling of chagrin and dissatisfaction among Southern Pres, byterians at what they considered the nasty action of their Assembly. This feeling is exhibited in the refusal of the New Orleans Presbytery to concur in the action at Atlanta, and it is probable other Southern Presbyteries will take similar course. The two resolutions adopted by the Northern Assembly taken together are regarded in the South as saying that while the Northern Prcsbyterians recede from charges of heresy, schism and bias phemy against their Southern brethren they adhere to their charges of disloyalty and rebellion sga,pst ti1

LITERARY.

No volume of original verse that has come before us during the present season contains so much sweet, pure, graceful work as Poems of the Household, by Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster. Mrs. Sangster is unquestionably poet. not of lofty or der, few women are that, but poet with whom the affections are inspirations, and who finds world of simple poetry in common things. She has clear insight into the themes which she selects, or which select her; she has excellent taste, wtich is as much the expression of her own nature as the studied expression of her culture; and she has more than wo- manly sense of the demands of the poetic art. She always writes well, with feeling, with tenderness, with pathos, and with careful finish. Her choice of themes is correctly indicated by her title, for her poems, of which there are just one hun dred he-e, are truly household words, and msuy are familiar in the mouths of all.
