ing Vie cleaning Of the streets to Msssrs. Smith,
Reekel & Co., propriesors of tho sweeping machines,
under the operation of which this ward and few
sthers have recently been kept in such remarkably
clean and healthy condition. In seventeen out OF
Me- twenty two wards they state that they are the
lowest bidders II this be true, they entitled to
NE contract, and should be allowed TO go With
&heir work immedi stely. What reasons Mr.. Ebling
san have in refusing 70 sign the necessary deu-
nsnts we cannot conjecture, as thRs gentleman has
not Is yet assigned aEy. Ali that La known lie that
such is the fact, Notwithstanding too that good Sc
Sayi.er have been produced By Kssrs Smith, Seek
d & Co., and the requirements Of the law Complied
with in every respect.
On Wednesday, evening las., after the adjoarn-
nsut of Know Nothing meeting at L0isvilIe, at
which the speakers had been interrupted several
times by some persons in she crowd, said to have
been IrishmsE, o number OF dlsorderly individuals
made en- attack upon some houses which were oc,u-
led by hiah families. Stones wsre thrown and
sksots fired, end a man end woman wounded. No
ssrests were made. Such occurrences take place
almost nightly in Louisville, where patty spirit runs
very high.
Our ne9s from Brazil is up to tho 9TH June. It
hrings 70 as the important intelligence that the i-
perl government has refused rssfy the terms of
the convention recently entered into bet ween their
chief Of squadron, OhVisra, and the Paragasyan
government Oivisra is superseded in command,
snd has bsen summoned to court to render an &C
count Of his stewardship. The probabilities there
fore are that the hoatile demonstrations Of the Bfa
lillian fset viii be renewed on the Parsguayan tsr.
ysory. The policy OF Brazil tends to the acsui-
ssicn Of territory and it is not unlikely that the
renewal OF hos.lities will end In the absorption Of
Paraguay.

prOmise-Hen. W.bb's Manifesto.
For the more general information Of all par
ties concerned, we transfer to our columns this
morning the m anifestor Of General Webb, OF
the Courier, on the question of the restoration
OF the Missouri black line of $3.50. "To &C
complish that object" says he, land thus tc
knrl back defiance upon those who have beer
dishonest and unprincipled, and reckless of faitl
and honor, we are perfectly willing, if need be
10 consort, for the time being, with even politl
cal abolitiopists, and all the other abonnabl
isms of the day" And we are just as fatty toll
abat he "would rather thousand times vot,
for Garrison and Tappan as President aud Vic
President, than tamely submit for an h0lr *
