MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. THE Conser-
ative victory yesterday was much larger
than was supposed by the most sanguine
supporters, the Conservatives having car
ried every ward in the city except the
fifth, which only gave majority of 26 for
the Republicans. The Conservative ma
jority in the city is 1888, and the total
vote over 10000 or about 1000 more than
an ordinary vote. This is accounted for
on the ground of hostility to the civil rights
bill and mixed schools on the part of the
whites. business was almost entirely sus-
pended and all went to the polls, while the

Rev. DR.. Richard Storrs publishes let
ter this morning. He says ''In the re-
port of Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton's testimony
before the Brooklyn committee, she is rep
resented as making the following state
ment concerning conversation which she
had solicited with me at my house in
March last, in which conversation she as
cribed to her husband the real authorship
of letter written by her hand, which had
been shown to me fifteen months before.
DR. Storrs looked up to me and said, i
wish | had known that week ago, because
on that letter alone | believe Mr., Beecher
to be a guilty man. He was in a hurry
and he said that if wanted to talk further
he would like me to see his wife. OF
this statement DIR. Storrs writes Il made
no such remark to Mrs. Titon concerning
Mr.. Beecher. She must have attributed to
me an impression which was resting heavily
on her own mind, though | excused myself
from general and prolonged conversation
upon the matters with which her present
testimony is largely occupied. 1t was not

all that she wished to say in regard to the
tainly nothing could have been further
from my mind than the thought of referr-
ing her to my wife for further conversation
on matter SO entangled and every way so
painful.
The Brooklyn Eagle publishes an inter
view with Henry c. Bowen, who is repre-
sented as saying of the Beecher- Titon
case. This entire business has caused
me much pain. i have had no hand in it

Bowen alluded to the agitation shown by
Mrs. Hooker in Plymouth Church, caused
by her belief of Beecher's immortality, and
but for the fact that she was restrained
she would have announced it to the con-
gregation. Being asked if Beeeher ever
did him any injury, Bowen said, Il could

to Tilton, Bowen said he did not care
which way it went with him. The end

continued Bowen, is placed in an awk-

The Tribune tomorrow publishes let
ter from Catherine Beecher, protesting
against the action of ertIin secular aud
religious papers iu accepting improvised
attacks and assertions against the charac-
ter of her brother Henry Ward Beecher,
As conclusive evidence of his guilt She
.ays that his previous unblemished repu-

charges. The precedent, she says, is dan

ior the protection Of her sex.
