Tilton's ex traordinary letter, re-opening the Ply m outhchurch scandal, was sent by special messengeryesterday toBev.HenryWard y Beecher who is now on his farm at Peekskill. Early in the day, Rev. Dr. Edward Beecher, a brother of Henry Ward Beecher, and a sharer with Thos. G. bherman, a lawyer, in the manage ment of the Plymouth cbuTjh with ref erence to the scandal, came to this city and asked him what he thought of the new phase of the scandal. He replied that he could give no opinion, but sup posed that Tilton's letter cjuld be an swered satisfactorily, if it should be deemed satisfactory. He went to the of fice of Sherman, with, whom he had an interview several hours long. Sherman subsequently said he did not believe Til ton's allegation of Beecher'a guilt. The usual Plymouth church prayer-meeting will be held this evening, and in accor dance with the manual the business meeting may be held after it. Mr. Beecher was present at the week ly prayer-meetiug of Plymouth church this evening. The proceedings were of the usual devotional character, and no reference whatever was made to the Tilton letter. After the meeting Mr. Beecher, in conversation with a reporter, said he had at present no intention of saying anything in reply to the recent J statements. He had a large pastorate s under his charge, and had no time for personal controversies. IT, however, the examiners of Plymouth church should decide that it would be well for him to speak out in regard to the recent letter, he would do so without hesitation. TELEGRAPHIC CLIPPINGS. The public opinion of the world has pronounced for public schools. They are to our republic especially the one great meins of sustaining the intelli gence and the virtue of the masses, upon whose shoulders rest the future of gov ernment and growth of the Union in national as well as Intellectual pros perity. The people of Memphis so be lieve, and believing, have without stint of labor or money fostered and encour aged their public schools, at onco the pride and glory of the city, the chiefest among the multiplied means whereby the work of the present and past gener ations is to be carried to a successful solution. How well they have succeed ed iu the noble, God-approved work we have In other years pointed out; itonly, therefore, remains for us to-day to call attention to the appended reports to re inforce our judgment, and assure our citizens that the money expended on the public schools is well-beiitowed, and that all the feeling and sentiment that clusters around these institutions, to fos ter and sustain them, is well-placed, and certain to return to us all with in terest an hundred-fold: llic Female High Schools. There wa9 a large attendance yester- uay morning at me uourc street school to witness the closing exercises of that institution, under chargeof MissHigbee. Iu Miss Julia Caims's room the exer cises were of an unusually Interesting character, and consisted of recitations. compositions, singing and reading. Among the chorus songs the finest given were the "Greeting Glee,'' "Evening Echoes" and "Parting Whispers." The S0I03 and duetts were wellsung, aud the more pleasant ones were, "There is a Sigh in the Heart," by Misses Peyton and Entler; "You Don't Say So," by Mioses Frank Johnson and Lena Rogers; "What are the Wild Waves Saving," by Misses Willie Malone and Ella Pey ton. The following were the dialogues : "Deaf as a Post," by Misses Jennie Ot tenheimer, Willie Malone and Sallie Becktel; "ature vs. Education," by Misses Carrie Wells, Carrie Weiler, Frank Johnson and Jennie Risk ; "Force of Imagination," by Misses Jennie At wood, Sophia Wiley, Sallie Becktel and Emma Ashcraft; "Jonas Jones," by Mistes Ella Peyton, Annie White, Mary Steadman, Lulu Meier and Emma Ash craft; "Mrs. Willis's Will," by Misses Emma Stratton, Sophia Wiley, Fannie Dougherty, Annie Manly and Lucy Merriwetuer. lhese young ladles ao quitted themselves in a handsome man ner, and not only won deserved praise for themselves, but also reflected great credit upon their excellent teacher Miss Julia Cairns, whose unremitting, judi cious and zealous efforts to develop the minds of her pupils should be, as it doubtless is. recognized aud appreciated by the public. Miss Willie, Malone re cited "Putting on Style" in an admira ble manner and received not a few mer ited compliments from tho audience. The same may be said of Miss Lula Meier, who recited the "Prayer and Po tato" in a clear and well regulated voice which gave the proper emphasis toevery word. Miss Mary Steadman's composi tion entitled the "Second Chapter of Chronicles," was written in the quaint style cuaracterisuc 01 tue biuncai nisto both were perfect a gold medal was awarded to each. Miss Maggie Shep herd's reading deserves to be noticed, and in acomnlimentarv minnw. naohn sasured much praise from the listeners. Miss Maggie.Wormley received the geld medal offered for perfect attend are, scholarship and deportment. Before the PXPmtapa WAra nvnr ttia n pils of the school presented their teacher w iiu a ueavy gold ring, as an evidence of the esteem, respect and affection they cherish for oneso true, kind aud efficient as ne is la every relation. The exercises wre successful throughout, and tho pu which is gratifying both to patrons and mc it'uuuers. At IbeThratrr.

Mia) Emma Str&t'on's salutatory was bright, sparEiing, nnu use its lair autnoress, full of good cheer und beautiful senti ments to please and fascinate all. Misii Emma Ashcraft's valedictory was u most graceful composition, and was read quite well. The pictures of the past and the visions of the future were chaste, elegant and realistic. Miss Mamio Conn's composition entitled "Littlu Jack Horner," was of unique humor and artistically conceived. It was on3 of the most delightful features of the oc casion. At the conclusion of the foregoing ex ercises, Ex-Mayor Johnson, who, both na a citizen a'uel an official, has always taken such deep interest in the welfars and prosperity of the public schools of Memphis, awarded the certificates cf distinction granted to tbe pupils who have completed the curriculum, and are adjudged prepared to enter the high schools.

Miss Lizzie Wright read an admirable essay entitled "The Angel of the Backward Look." It was a com position of exquisite sentiment, tender ness anil touching pathos. Miss Frances Brown's essay, "News," has much that was quaint and original, aud more than one denouement showed how consistent ly she had pursued tbe subject for tbe edification of the audience.

Mr. Keating, in addressing this class, adverted not only to the strictness and conscientious efforts cf Miss Tovell, the teacher, but called attention to their future under Miss Higbee, one of the ablest teachers In the country, and ex pressed the hope that they would carry with them in all their studies thoughts of Miss Tovel's anxieties for them that would help to strengthen them in all their resolves and efforts. Both teachers and pupils were deeply touched, and when the hour for leave taking arrived there was scarcely a dry eye in the room. Even the men were moved to tears at sight of the sad farewell between loving teachers and pupils. And this tender solicitude for one another was not confined to Miss Tovel's room. It was characteristic of all, showing that the bonds between the pupils and teach ers of the Alabama-street schools are those of love, Inspired by devotion to one another.

Radical codes set a price upon each kuklux's head, and foul pros ecutions, under the villainous law, are still progressive in the federal court at Oxford. Many a farm is uncultivated, many a wretched wife Is in rags, and many a helpless child has suffered in tolerable pangs of hunger because those remorseless villains and adventurers sent down by Grant to ravage and de stroy, would secure rewards for convic tions to be effected by negro perjury.

Bicb, deep, loamy, and fertile lands, producing extremely well when proper ly cultivated, all the various products of the country, and particularly grapes and clover. A gentleman from Messrs. Craig & Co.'s, adjusting and starting a reaper for Mr. J. H. Sink, of this place, informed him that he had never seen in Ohio, even in the great Miama valley, a better crop than his forty acres of clover and herd grass. Mr. Sink raises no cotton, but devotes hjs whole time and farm to grass, corn, wheat, and other cereals, and finds a ready market at remunerative prices, at home, for all he makes a practical example to all who are impoverishing themselves by raising cotton alone. He livei better, clears more money with less labor, and Is more independent than any farmer who makes cotton, to the neglect of other crops. 1 feel a native pride in stating that this district the first in Th8APEAIi is now pnMishedat 282 Seqond Street. masonic notice. 1 A SPECI AL commnnleaUon of De- 8 -Soto Lodge, No. 2W, wUt be held VVaf this (SATURDAY) evening, June 27th, V at 8 o'clock, for work in the E.

LAMAR. X began thin letter to tell you how La mar has crazed the people. Ho is a fresh sensation fresh and charming as first freshest flowers of springtime. He is the first genuine representative of the south, in ail his instincts, in prejudices, in training and in habits of thinking the very first who has appeared since the war, In the floor of either house of congress. The "nigger" has so complete ly filled the eye of northern partisan ship that a scuthern white man has only been seen through the cloud of black ness that hedges in the ballot-box and overshadows the accursed land. Lam.tr has stood up before the whole country, in the very presence chamber of bound less empire, and spoken like a states manlike a cod. An ex-slaveholder, as his fathers, for many generations, were slaveholders, he appears th"e very imper sonation of the extinct "Institution." He was, too, a secessionist, the straight eat and most philosophical of his sect; a southern soldier, and Confederate con- g-essman, was this self-same Lamar, ut he was Ikd m and reared and educat ed a gentleman and patriot. Therefore those vigorous sentences that made senates silent and continents listen. Tbe whole country rings with the praises of Lamar, and from towns and counties) of his district the people are gathered at Oxford to welcome him. He has gained the ear and touched the great heart of humanity, and for the first time a "rebel11 constituency throutrh a "rebel" representative has been heard and trusted and honored. How meanly, painfully Insignificant be come the nameless little villains, of all degrees of baseness, and vulgarity who have represented tne negroes of Missis sippi and their new masters, since Radi calism was enthroned. The ouly hon orable deed eyer done by one of these is just announced Lamar's predecessor i iorget nis name uas nangeu himself.

The four churches Richland, New Salem, Gratitude, and Mudville are in a nourishing condi tion, and with the exception of two base and cowardly assassinations among the negroes, caused by the "green-eyed monster," morality is above the aver age. The grangers have frequent visits just now of "sassafras dodgers," who are willing to sacrifice all for country, and especially to advance the interests of the "noble order of grangers." All are quiet on civil lights.
