Of Germany depended upon ths perfect

PEOPLE.
A despatch from London says: "The

The Ge11nnn account admits that their

As a rule, the truth was found to he some
whera midway between the two
versions Of the same thing. The
Germans Seem to DO more cautious
and moderate in their statements Of mill
tnry events than the French, which must
be attributed to the difference Of tempera-
ment and imagination The Germans are
p phlegmatic, sober-ninded people, while
the French are sauguine and mescurial,
therefore tho latter may be expected to
draw little more On their fancy for their
facts than the former. Whatever the Ger

4 REGULAR DOG FIGHT.

Down in Memphis, few days ago, there
was STREET fight. A street fight in Mem
phis is not particularly remarkable, but
this one WAS something outof Tie usual line.
Ordinarily in the South, there Is never
duel, or row, street fight, or an assas-
sinAtion, in which some Of the parties do
not bear military title. This caae was an
exception. Both parties were civilians, but
both were honorable" Neither was
General, nor Colonel, nor even a
Captain. One was a member of Congress
and the other was a Judge. They may
have been relatives, though that by no
means follows from the fact that they both
bore the name OF Smith. Both moved In
the first circles Of society; both were lead
era of The people-one q law-naaker and the
other aiaw-e1pounder. One held the scales
of Justice, and the other recorded the peo-
PIES will These two gentlemen met in
The street, the tharmomotar indicating, rs
the local chroniclers state, "9s de-
g1ees in q cool place" They exchanged
compliments, and from compliments
resorted TO blows; in the language Of the
P. r., one of them s'went down." but
whether to s'avoid punishment" OF from
an excess Of it. is not Clearly stated. Ger
thin it is, however, that the other went
after him, and on the ground the legislative
gown and the Judicial ermine became con-
siderably soiled by tho sane dust of the
street und the filth of the gutter, Nobody
seems to have interfered, rs the principle
in that part Of the country il, that the best
man ought to win, and, therefore, ought
not to be deprived of the right Of whip
ping his antagonist. So far, the fight was
hut nn ordinary transaciion-an everyday
occurrence; but Smith (Judge), finding
himself encumbered with tho weight
of Smith (Congressmanl used tho
only means left him, aud, catching
between his teeth the ear Of the Legislator,
dog fashion, bit of portion of the auricu-
lar appendaye. This brought the Con-
gress,uan to a realizing sense tllat he was
not having the fight all to himself, 20 he
got up The JnIye did the same, aud both
gentlemen were carried Of to their respcc-
tive quarters. What the Judge did with
the portion of the other mans car is not
stated. Whether lie will wear it, 81 the Sioux
do tie scalps taken in battle, remains to be
seen. Perhaps, after the fight, he returned
it, and it was skilfully replaced. The Sc
i quel to this affair is, that next day both

JEFF. DAVIS AND SENATOR CAM
ERON.

The following letter from JEFF. Davis
has been received by prominent citizen
of Philadelphia in denial of the statement
made by Senator Cameron, to the effect
that he had said to Mr. Davis on his re-
firing from the Senate in January, 1861,
that his seat in that body would be filed
by a negro:
MEMPHIS, TENN, March %, 1S70.-My
Dear Sir: Yours of the ID inst. reached
here during my absence, which will ex-
plain the delay in this reply. Senator
Cameron made no such statement as that
quoted by you. He made no remarks to
me at the time of my withdrawal from
the Senate other than the expression of
his good wishes for me. His relations
with me had been uniformly those of per-
sonal kindness, and l have expected him,
as a duty to himself and to truth, to deny
having made such. remarks as have been
imputed in the newspapers.
Men had not then reached the degree of
qualification which caused the withdrawal
of States from the Union to be called
rebellion, and the only remark, so far
as know, made by any Senator, which
had the least practical bearing, was the
expression of Mr.. Hale, of New Hamp
shire, that he expected US all soon to
come back.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS

THE RRIRERY MATTER.

Charges were freely and openly made
in Washington for several days, that both
bonds and money had been offered to in
f1uence Senators to vote against the Bing-
ham amendment. The Senate instructed
the Judiciary Committee to investigate
the matter, and the first days investiga-
ton brought to light some rather ugly
facts, according to the telegraph, but the
matter appears to have broken down the
second day. A Washington dispatch of
the goth inst says:
''The investigation into the alleged at
tempt to bride Senators to vote against
the Bingham amendment to the Georgia
bill, substantially ended to-day, and the
charge has not been fully sustained 1t
arose in this wise: A telegram was sent
to Senator4lect Hill from Atlanta, a few
days ago, that one hundred thousand
dollars of railroad bonds, Endorsed by the
State of Georgia, had been sent here, the
telegrapher believed, to influence legisla-
ton. The package was watched on its
arrival here, and traced to Governor
Bullock. There it was lost sight of, and
straightway the story started that its con-
tents had been offered to certain Senators,
but the evidence to-day shows that he
countersigned the bonds, and then for
warded the whole amount to New York to
the agents of the State of Georgia for ne
gotiation. Senator Carpenter, to whom
it is alleged some of these bonds were
rendered, denies the whole story. There
may be testimony to support the bribery
charges, but, if so, it is yet to come.
