The Wnited States vs. Vincent Lovenzo.—The de- Pendant, it will be remembered, was arrested with ‘ethers on a charge of uttering counterfeit bills of the @enomination . $6's on soar bank and two Gollars counterfeit legal tenders. He was comniitted to await the action of the Grand Jury, COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER. Fourth Day—Trial of Policeman Matthew Campbell for the Alleged Murder of Mau- rice Leng—The Defence, Before Judge Cardozo. whe People vs. Matthew Campbvell.—The proceed- Ings i the trial of this case were resumed at eleven o'clock yesterday morning in a court room even more densely crowded than on the previous day (it that were possibie). The people were literally packed, and the atmosphere was anything but pleas- ant to breathe throughout the day. Among we gudience were several ladies, THR DEFENCE, Mr. Rober! D. Holmes opened the defence, He said 4M bad been stated by the learned District Attorney that the prisoner was a representative of the law. Trae he was. The prisoner stood on the night of the homicide not only (he representative of the people, ak the representative of the majesty of the law, owers were confided to him by which he might be forced to take human life. As in the case of a riot where @ regiment was drawn up to fire on the peo- Pe Was there apy danger of bodily harm (as in he Astor place riot)? Clearly nots But had a eifizen gone there and fred off a musket and killed a wan he would be guilty of murder. On that night ihe prisoner stood in the attitude of a conservator and protector of the public peace, The Twenty- brendan precinct, which embraces a large portion of be First ward, was bow the most turbulent and @apgerous ward in the city. It was eminently necessary in that section of the city that the police- men should go armed there, The character of the ple there was very bad. Many of them were esperadoes, They might find the police going round West street, as if wilh mufied oars, trying to protect the Hives of private watchmen and othere, Tlicre was not a dwelling Louse but three in that whole neighborhood.

He only spoke of the general eharacter of the people there. The District Attor- ney forgot one ting i the prosecution. He forgot to produce young Long, who could have thrown a jood deal of light on the killing of his fatuer. 17 the uatrict Attorney had put that witness on the stand he would have been the friend of the prisoner, be- cause the whole circumstances of the riot and the homicide would then be fully drawn out, Mr. Holmes then reviewed at length (ue testimony for the prooeccionn and contended that it was contradic. ry and unreliable. He said the defence stood upou the ground of justidabie hoinic and t alone. Whe opemng of counsel occupied wwo half,and was a masterpiece of cloqueuce acumen. TAR TESTIMONY. The first witness examined for the defenve was Herman Smith, who testified as follows in auswer Mr. Vanderpoel:—Keep a grocery at 112 Green- Wich street, corner of Cariisie; on the night of the cof July was etanding before my door; before eleven o'clock that night a little boy came running pe to the corner and spoke to another jittle boy; Aigoxed down Greenwich street and saw a great many people near the corner of F seemed to be rushing toward C @ great many voices ina loud ke; coming out of the crowd baving a young man about eighteen or nincicen years of age in bis cnarge; when the policeman had passed my door f saw the stones fy across the street; there were very few people on the side from whence these + tor street; they eet; heard i saw an ofticer came: up to that time I only saw one policeman, \ 0 Lad ® young man with bin, Who was going quite peaceably; the crowd at this time was fty or sixty feet beiow Cariisie Bireet; after the policeman bad passed my door i eaw & man running up the street with a litte girl by the land, and he got lost in the crowd; at that time another policeman came up and rapped three times for assistance; there was quite a crowd there then and @ good deal of haliooing going on; I heard two shots after that; tuis noise conunued ail the time; believe there was some excitement in the crowa before the firing; the stones I saw were abont the size of my fist; the crowd consisted of ail sorts of people; it was dark and I could not gee dis- tinctly; there were 100 in the crowd.

POLICE INTELLIGEN On July 1 we again took up our line of march along the north fork ofthe Republican, and on July 8 struck afresh trail, and Brevet Colonel Royall, with two companies of the Fiftn and one of the scouts, were detached and followed it. July 6 we camped on the headwaters of the north fork and on the following day were joined by Colonel Royall and detachment, who reported he had come upon a small party, dis- persing it and Killing three of their number, and that a larger party was some distance in advance going in the direction of the Platte river. Qolonel Royall when he started having only two daya’ rations was compelled to return, The next morning we re- traced our steps and the following day came upon the old camp of Colonel Royall, where we remained that night, Inthe morning when we started the trail appeared to be very fresh, We passed several of their old camps during the day and the opinions of experienced men were thai It was a large party The Sixth Ward Slums.

M., When the chlef scout, Mr. William Codey, came dashing up batless, reporting that he had come apon their camp about eight miles to the left and near the Platte river, The command was halted and divided tnto three columns, oue going to the right, another to the left and the third following the trail. The gatt was now increased to a gallop and for eighteen mlies was never slackened, At about three o'clock or a litile alter we caught the first sight of their encamp- ment and rushed down upon it. it was a most com- plete surprise. The frat intimation they had of our approach was the yell which was given as we charged the camp. The command here split ip several different columns, 80 as to be able to follow the Indians, who split and run in smail parties, being towards their ponies, which were picketed on the surrounding biuis, abandonti everything in their fight, Some of them succeed In reaching their goal, but many of them were shot in the attempt. Sixty were killed, among whom were theur chief, Tali Bull, the medicine man, and several other chiefs of lesser note. Two squaws were captured aud eight or ten papooses, varying in age from one to thirteen years; about’ 120 lodges, ail their skins, provisions for the winter, arms, ammunition, and in fact everything they possessed, incinding about 650 head of ponics and mules fell into our hands. ‘Two German women were with the band, They had been captured some six weeks before in one of their forays on the Solomon river or that neighbor- hood. One was recaptured, but the other was brained with a tomahawk because she would not endeavor to get away with her captors, The other was wounded ip the abdomen by a shot for the same eres but not seriously, aud is recovering very rapidly. We camped on the battle fleld that night, and early the next morning the work of destroying the aban- doned property commenced, After the command supplied themselves with all the buffalo robes they wished, we burned over 1,000, fifteen to twenty tons of wheat, lodges, poles, clothiag, &o, Old frontiersinen say that it waa by far the most wealthy band that they had ever seen. They were possessed of from a needie to a watch, aud from a nail to a set of hegre enie tools. There 18 scarcely anything one can think of but what they were sup- ed with and in abundance, most of the articles ing new. Some $800 or $900 in greenbacks and gold were found by the men, which they very gene- rously gave to the recaptured woman, with more added, amounting to about $1,000, We then took up line of march for Fort Sedgwick, where we arrived July 17 and went into camp, and now we are preparing for another jaunt to (he south- ward about the 1st of August, STREET EXTENSIONS. The Necessities of the City=Relief for Broude way—Extension of Worth and Church Streete—The Probable Effect of These Im- provements. Every stranger who comes to this city and passes up and Gown Broadway, below Canal street, for a day or two, is bewildered. How comes it, says he, that from the Battery to Canal street all the travel and all the trafic of the entire city is concentrating on Broadway’ Why do all carriages, all omnibuses, all vehicles conveying merchandise, take to this one street? Are there no other streets in the lower part of the city? Must walking, riding, bustling, trading, carting below Canal street be done on Broadway and nowhere eise? Is there a law prescribing it? Not once but hundreds of times have we heard strangers tnquire, who were astonished at the im- mense concentration of trame on Broadway, won- dering whether there were no other streets in the lower part of the city to draw off a portion of it and relieve the principal thoroughfare. And not only by strangers, but by people “to the manner born,” by those who have made this city their home for many years, by those whose capital and fortune is invested in the advancement and growth of New York the same questions bave often been asked; and not only by them, but those in authorlty—those who temnpo- rarily held power and controlled the public affairs of our great city—the same inquiry has for years neea propounded, and they have, from time to time, pro- none various expedients to elfect the much desired object, ‘These expedients are well known. There was the opening of Canal street to the Bowery, which un- doubtedly did a good deal toward relieving Broad- way. The outting through of a broad avenue from Chatham square io Pearl street, now known ag the New Bowery; the widening of Duane, street, the opening of Chambers street to James slip, all these Were so many well-meant efforts to relieve the lower section of Broadway from its tinmense concentra- tion of travel. But since these works of public lin- rtance and undoubted public benefit were pro- fected and completed, the trade of the city has again Increased in such ratio that Broadway is still encum- bered, and in the busy seasons no reduction of the trafic upon it is perceptibie, although the new strects nerd take a good share of what once passed over POAQWDY, oe an none tintan nee” de Etsy , ® it a round necessary to seek for additional out- Jets, to provide additional roadways for the steadily increasing traffic, The proposed widening and con- dinning of Ann street to the Fulton ferry pasta 4 a very desirable improvement to relleve both Fulion sireet and Broadway of thelr crushing accomulation of vehicles, was discountenanced, but may yet be taken in hand on account of the location of tue new Post Ofice butiding, that requiring more conventent means of access, especially from the lower and eastern portion of the city. Butit was found he- cessary to do somerhing, and, aiter much higgling and tribulation, it was determined to open WORTH STREET, from Baxter street to Chatham square. This work as 80 far progressed that the stréet 1s actually open from Baxter stret to Mulberry and already used by stray vehicles that find their way to this locality, and by the carté and trucks owned by the people in the neighborhood or employed on the work of tearing down buildings and opening the street on the line from Mulberry street to Chatham square. Here, be tween the two last named limits, there are still brick walls and other parts of buildings to be demolished to make the rey cleay ang to give an open view from Chatham Sqhare to Broadway.

This cutting through of Worth street from Baxter to Chatham square is a very valuable improvement TRE NINIH REGI T EXCURSION, The Reception at Stamford--Parades, Hops and Festivities.

One of them, the L.’s, lost several of its mem- bers, and at the commencement of our ‘story consisted of Mr. L., & gentleman fifty-iive years of age, his wife, nearly the same age, and an unmarried daughter of about twenty-five.

A few days since Mr. R. informed his wife that he had received a letter, which would compel immediate attendance in Atlanta, where he would Nave to remain for several days, and as it would be inconvenient for him to take her with him to that city, advised that she should ask her young neigh- bor to stay with her during his absence, The next morning he set out in his buggy for Atlanta, and his wifed uring the morning weut over to Ls house Tor the purpose of inviting her young friend to stay with her. When she arrived there she told the young lady of the absence of her husband, representing how lonely she would find her house at night from the fact that ehe employed no house servant, and her cook, together with the few laborers employed on the farm, slept at the ‘negro quarter,” nearly half a mile from the dwelling house, and ended by asking Miss L. to spend the erghts with her untill her husband re- turned. Th¢ young lady, after consultation with her mother, \wadily assented to the proposition and romised to Come over during the afternoon.

After delivering the note the servant took his departure, and the brave woman prepared to apend the night by herself.

But. this is not true. Mr. Sprague has apparently just awakened to the fact that this is the grand event of his life, and he prefers litigation, however expen- sive, to the endowment of an abandoned sweetheart, So that, Miss Amanda, instead of reveiling in te en- joyment of 340,000, 15 atti left pining and uncon- soled, like the foriorn maiden ia the moated grange, Who said: ‘The night ia droa He cometh not down, ali ‘The wufortanate Sprague has been subjected to all. kinds of unpleasant criticism since bis iirst appear ance before the public, Like a dog with a tin ketue tied to hig tail, he has been pelted with paragraphs all over the land.
