The Worcester northwest agricultural and mechanical society, at Athol, received a gift of SBOO a few days ago from lion. Win. B. Spooner of Boston. It may truthfully be said, without mentioning names, that the dancing party at Horticultural hall last evening was one of the happiest of the season. Dolby’s great English concert company is coming to Worcester on the 20th inst., wiien we shall all have an opportunity to hear Mr. Sant- Jcy, the renowned baritone, and the other stars ot this justly famous troupe.

The Portrait of General Devens, paint ed by Mr. Willard as his contribution to the Grand Army lair of last winter, is just finished, a n d will be presented to the post, wc believe, at its meeting next week. We have had occasion before to speak in praise of portraits by this ar tist; they are always faithful likenesses, and exhibit as many varieties ol excellence as his subjects have varieties of personal characteris tics. The truth of this portrait in drawing, color and expression, is absolute; the most searching scrutiny could hardly find an excuse lor criticism, and the artist has conti ived to give it in a wonderful degree the spirit and sen timent suited to the association for which it was painted. It represents the ideal of an experi enced, resolute and wary soldier. This is the instant and abiding impression it makes upon all who have seen it. We can congratulate the post in the possession of a picture than which, whatever its present or future acquisitions, it can have none better, and Mr. Willard on hav ing painted of such a subject and fur such an occasion, one of the noblest among many admi rable portraits that have occupied his easel. The Temple of Honor.—The members of this excellent ami flourishing organization have been for some time past considering plans for introducing the social clc*nent into the arrange ments of the society to a greater extent than heretofore.

Miiprcino Conn Dcciaion in the Suicide C aw. A rescript has just been received from the supreme judicial court, comprising its decision in the case of commonwealth vs. John C. Den nis, for attcmpting||to commit suicide, which was argued at the law term in October, 1870* The court sustain the exceptions taken by the counsel for the defence at the trial at the previ ous May criminal term of the superior court, on the ground, as stated in the rescript, that “the provisions of the general statutes, in section 8 of chapter 168, which arc a revision of the whole law on the subject of attempts, do not include attempts to commit suicide.” This case will be well recollected as having originated nearly two years ago in the municipal court of this city, where the defendant was arraigned on a com plaint charging him with the “attempt to kill and mtlrdcr himself,” In the superior court a pro forma verdict of guilty was rendered, by ditec* tion of the court (Judge Dewey), there being no contest as to the facts, and the case went up on exceptions, based on the legal point raised by the defence, that “the indictment did not set forth any crime or offense known to, or punish able bv, the laws of this commonwealth.” As the case is a novel one, without precedent in out courts, a brief statement of some of the facts concerning it, ami of the arguments of the counsel at the hearing, may be of interest. The defendant was a resident of this city, married, but not living With his wife at the time. She was at work at the Dread, where he went to see her, and going into the kitchen where she was, accosted her with the expression of “Good bye, Mafy,” and then drew a pistol from his pocket and fired it at his own head, in flicting a severe though (miraculously) not a dangerous wound on his right temple, from which the ball glanced and lodged in the ceiling. At the hearing before the supreme court, who have had the case under consideration for over a year, the counsel for the defendant, 11. L. Parker, Esq., cited numerous authorities to show that suicide was undoubtedly a crime in England at common law, although some writers maintain ed that to make it a crime is contrary to natural right, but that the attempt to commit suicide is held there to be a misdemeanor and not a Iclonv. Whether It is a crime, and punishable in this state, admits of doubt, inasmuch as out* statutes are silent concerning it, and it does nut appear that the common law punishment was ever inflicted here. Only that portion of the common law which is adapted to our new coun try and institutions has been incorporated into our law; both the reason of the common law punishment, and its infliction as a punishment, ceased in our new country. The only recogni tion of suicide as a crime in our statutory law was an enactment of 1660; this was repealed in 1824, but its repeal did not revive the common law. The language of the enactment of 1660 does not indicate any recognition of sui cide as punishable at common law. The records <»f the Massachusetts Bay colony or the Plymouth colony records do not show any in stance where it was punished as a crime, al though there are cases of self murder as found by juries of inquest, and in one case administra tion of the estate of the deceased was granted, showing that no confiscation of goods followed suicide. The indictment must set forth facts sufficient to show that any offence was com mitted within the provisions of Gen. Stat., eh. 168, sect. 8. If the substantive offence is not indictable if committed, the attempt to commit cannot be; to constitute a criminal attempt the intent must be to do something which would be indictable, if done. He argued that the removal ol legal punishment from the reputation and property of the suicide, also repealed all penalty for the attempt. The idea of punishment for this crime originated in the feudal idea that the sovereign owned an interest in the subject, which in our new country ami under our new institutions ceased to exist; tins, with laws of attainder and forfeiture to the state for crime have been abolished as inconsistent with repub lican institutions. Attorney General Allen, for the. common wealth, set forth that the only question at issue was, whether an indictment could lie for an un successful attempt at suicide, and supported the affirmative in an elaborate argument,of which the following are the points: 1. By the common law suicide is a felony. It was formerly punished by ignominious buri al, and by forfeiture of goods. So in Massachu setts, from 1660 to 1823, a suicide was punished by burial in the highway, with a cartload of stones put upon the grave “as a brand of in famy.’’ An ignominious burial ofthe body be ing required by law, was clearly a punishment for the crime; and it has always been recog nized as such. It is in this respect like a judg ment that the body shall be quartered or deliv ered to surgeons for dissection. So also by the general sense of mankind, in Christian coun tries at least, suicide is regarded as highly crim inal in its nature—an offence against society and morals; usually prejudicial to the public, be cause it deprives the state of a citizen; casts new and unjust pecuniary burdens on the people; excites, distm bs ami demoralizes the commu nity, spreads false and hurtful notions in socie ty, and is of evil example. As a rule, suicide is a sin against the law of nature, and accordingly moralists and other writers have often recog nized its unlawful and immoral character. 2. The abrogation of the punishment docs not render the act of suicide less criminal in its nature, nor show that it is no longer considered as an offence against the laws; the reasons for such abrogation rest on a different basis. The punishment fell chiefly on the innocent; and was therefore abolished. Docs it therefore fol low that one has a legal right to commit suicide. By the common law, and the law of Massa chusetts, one who advises another to commit suicide, is guilty of murder, if his advice is acted upon in his presence. So the consent or request of another to kill him does not relieve the slayer from guilt as a murderer; because no man can legally consent te his own volun tary destruction. 3. Bv reason ofthe peculiar nature of the act, the criminality of an attempt te commit suicide dues not rest exclusively upon the criminality of the completed act. Ordinarily the attempt is held to be criminal if the c uni le ed act would be criminal, lint if the act of suicide is no longer visited with legal punishment, and therefore technically considered is no longer a crime, the reason is because punishment cannot effectually reach the guilty party; in this case it affects the innocent more directlv, and in a far greater de gree. Therefore, although suicide is not now 1 unished, this does not show that the act of sui cide is not considered to be wrongful, immoral, unlawful, and criminal in its nature. By the common law, suicide was a felony, and an at tempt was a misdemeanor; the statute of 1828 repealed the punishment for suicide, but it did not deal with the offence of attempting the act; and under well established rules, did not repeal any offence which was not clearly meant to tie repealed. 4. It has been expressly held in England that an attempt to commit suicide was punishable as a misdemeanor at a common law. At the time of the decisions cited, the laws providing for ig nominious burial had been repealed. It was to be seen, provided by that statute that the inter ment of suicides should be private, and with no rites of Christian burial, but rather as a matter of decorum, than by way of punishment. Such interment can hardly be thought ignominious in Massachusetts, since our own ancestors in early times so buried their dead, with a studi ous avoidance of religious services. 5. 1 his, then, is an offence at common law. No punishment is pro.idcd bv statute; it is not covered by General Statutes, chap. 168 sec. 8; it therefore comes within General Statutes, chap. 174 sec. 1, and is to be punished according to the common usage and practice of this state. I he offence is a misdemeanor; the ordinary and appropriate punishment for misdemeanor is bv fine and imprisonment, or either, at the discre tion ul the court. Section 1 of chap. 174, referred to above, pro vides that “In cases of legal conviction, where no legal punishment is provided by statute, the court shall award such sentence as is conforma ble to the common usage ami practice in this state, according to the nature of the offence, and not repngnant to the constitution.” Hie attor ney general admitted that usually where a com pleted act is not punishable, the attempt is not punishable, but argued that suicide rests on a lifferent basis; our lives are not our own; we re sent here on a mission, and no man ordi irily has a right te surrender his own life. while under our laws suicide is no longer nishable, it is not because it is no longer a ne, but because the punishment of the corn ed crime falls most heavily on the innocent, the proper penalty ot the attempt should be ‘ted. Suicide has ceased being considered ny; but as a misdemeanor is punishable at scretionot the court. COUNTY NEWS. bird lecture of the Grafton course will be ning, by A. A. Willitts, I).

CONFIRMED- In executive session, to-day, the senate con firmed J. W. Douglas as commissioner of inter* nal revenue. It was anticipated that there would be a short opposition to this confirma tion, made by Gen. Pleasonton and his friends, but the only contest of this character was waged in the finance committee, to which this matter was referred. a Tedious subject. Several members of the Massachusetts dele gation have had a conference with reference to the Springfield post office, and have generally agreed that J. C. Taylor should be recoin mended fur the Vacancy especially in view of his long experience in the postal business and bin en dorsement by the most prominent and substan tial citizens of Springfield. Applications in large numbers are now being received at the post office department for this position. Anti-granT. Senator Spencef, of Alabama, who lias been some time classed among the “independent re publicans,” denies the recent statement to the effect that he had been conciliated. He is now engagedin making war upon presidential ap pointments in his state, among which is that of ex-Senator Willard Warner as collector at Mobile. The confirmation of the latter is now pending, and is being bitterly opposed by Mr. Spencer. MR. |DAWEB’ RESOLUTION. Mr. Dawes’ eight hour resolution still Iles on the senate table, with other unfinished business. Mr. Wilson made his usual effort to-day to get it up, and Mr. Sumner came to his assistance with some remarks in support of the justness of the measure, but the morning hour expired be fore it could be reached. Mr. Chillingworth and other parties interested in the passage of this resolution have succeeded in disabusing Mr. Trumbull’s mindof the preju dices against this resolution, and it is now un derstood that this senator will not press his amendment repealing the eight hour law. To morrow Mr. Sumner proposes to make a short speech, urging the immediate passage of the i es olution. LACK OF HARMONY IN THE CAUCUS. In consequence of the inharmonious proceed ings in open session, the senate had been in ex ecutive session but a short time to-day, when it was resolved to hold a caucus to see if some general understanding could not be arrived at, with reference to legislation, and also if there could not be arrangements made with regard to Mr. Trumbull’s proposed retrenchment commit tee, without putting republicans on record as voting against it, and democrats as favoring it. The propriety of appointing th 3 committee was discussed for about two hours, and some bitter speeches were made thereon. After two hours had been spent in this unprofitable man ner, the caucus adjourned until to-morrow morn ing. A compromise has been prepared, w hich will be submitted in caucus to-morrow, which provides for the appointment of a retrenchment committee, but limits its operations to retrench ing expenses, without investigating abuses. Another stormv|timc is anticipated before this proposition will be finally disposed of. MR. SUMNER AROUSED —LIVELY SCENE! IN THE SENATE. Senator Morton cal cd up his concurrent reso lution to-day, providing for a formal adjourn mentof congress on the third Monday in May, and a limited discussion ensued. The time it was under discussion was not so brief, however, but that it was demonstrated that nothing which can possibly have any political signifi cance can pass the present session without be ing thoroughly analyzed, tested and contested. Coming from a senator whose administration predilictions arc so well understood, seemed al most enough in itself to arouse the suspicion of the opposition, and the clerk had hardly finished the resolution before Mr. Sumner got the fluor, and objected to its adoption at such an early stage of the session. He gave notice, however, that, if the senate should take up the resolution, he would insist upon tacking thereto an amend ment that congress should not adjourn until it had passed his supplementary civil rights bil^ guaranteeing protection to American citizens, without distinction of color. Notwithstanding this note of defiance, Mr. Morton insisted on the propriety of adopting Ids resolution, and the yeas and nays were called on a motion to take it up. On this ballot Mr. Sumner’s threatened amendment as to im partial rights had the effect to drive all demo crats to Mr. Morton’s support, and, consequent ly, there were but nine votes recorded against it. To be as good as his word, as soon as the vote was announced Mr. Sumner sent up his proposed amendment, and, when lie took his scat, Mr. Schurz moved to amend the amendment, provid ing that there should be no adjournment until the bills to reduce internal taxation, modify the tariff and secure a reform in civil service, had also been acted upon; and then Mr. Trum bull, when Mr. Schurz had taken his seat, gave notice that he would offer, as a substitute for the combined resolution and amendments, a bill to remove the political disabilities of the southern states. He protested against any measure which would tie the hands ol senators as to future legislation, and moved to lay the original resolution and amendments on the table. On this motion, the ayes and nocs were called, and it was defeated by thirty-one to twenty-two. Pending further action, the morning hour ex pired, and the resolution went over. The vote has some significance, as foreshadowing how senators may act upon reform measures that will be introduced this winter, in case party tight is made upon them. The republicans who united with the demo crats in voting to lay Mr. Morton's resolution on the table, were Messrs. Alcorn, Fenton, Ferry of Connecticut, Hill, Lewis, Rice, Robertson, Sawyer, Schurz, Sumner, Tipton, Trumbull and Wilson. The three republicans, Messrs. Sprague, Spencer and Logan, who would have voted with the minority, were not in the senate to-day. This would have made the same num ber wffo voted to take up the resolution calling for the retrenchment committee. Kelon. (To the AnMoclated Frees.) THE NATION’S CHARGE.

The opposition arises from it difleivnee of opin ion concerning means, not ends. The committee on foreign affairs will not ad on Gen.

Admiral Porter has approved a proposition of Medical Director Miran Pinckney, of Hie navy, to dispose of the naval asylum at Philadelphia, and to establish a national naval hospital ami medical school at Annapolis on ground opposite the naval academy. He wants every candidate for (he position of assistant surgeon placed at this school, after having passed bis examina tion, at least four mouths iiefore he is ordered to sea, and again after one cruise before he is ex amined for promotion. Much doubt is expressed concerning the con stitutional power of the Joint committees to compel the attendance of witnesses or .o use a court process. This, with other reasons, o ca sions a desire that specific cases of fraud be re ferred to the committees having special relations With the departments where the defalcations occur. The democrats rtttd acidulous republi cans interpret this into hostility to reform. The committee on elections this morning de cided that Mr. Clark, republican, ami Mr. Hern don, democrat, are entitled to be sworn in as members from Texas, in the pending contest lor their seats in the house. This action is prelimi mtry only, and docs nothing more than to recog nize that they have, prima facie right to a seat, and that their certificates arc in accordance with the laws of Texas.
