The sixty-seventh annual dinner of the New England Society was given last night at Delmoni- co’s, Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue. The large dining room was quite crowded with tne sons of New England, On the platform were the follewing gentlemen :— Eliiett ©. Cowdin, President of the society; Henry Wilson, Vice President elect; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, General Sherman, Governor Hawley (Connecticut), ex-Governor Jewell (Connecticut), Judge J. P. Brady (President St. Patrick’s Society), A. R. McDonough (St. Nicho- las Society), John G. Dale (St. George’s Society), James Moor (St, Andrew’s Society), Governor Morgan, William M.

Henry Ward Beecher, in responding to the toast of the President of the United States, said:—If he were to take example by the theme of which he was to speak, his speech would be very short. (Laugh- ter.) To speak abstractedly of the President would not be very dificult, but to speak of him in the concrete was when the country has been speaking compliments of both kindsrespecting him. (Laugh- ter.) It is very beautiful for those who sat below him to look at him; but it was like the Indian shooting his canoe along the rapids, very beautiful for those who were on the shore, but not for tho Indian who was trying to avoia +- ida. Ha dia w+ say LOCKS ~ te ay magie Sov chink that the venera- - ~srate Was Very great in America. fehgare> Phrenologically he thought the Ameri- vans had not very large veneration for magis- tracy—not much veneration even for God. What was @ man in America who was not up for‘filcé and hada large income? He thought that the sala- ries of the chief omcers of America were disgrace- fully mean. (Laughter.) There had never beens President in America that for four years or eight years was good for anything. If they went back to ashington they | would find that the news- a papers of day regarded him as @ very incompetent man. It was the case With Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and John Quincy Adams, He recollected those criticiams; the criticisms of modern days were light eompared to those, Then there was Jackson; he was pre-eminently a gaint. (Irontcal cheers.) Out of his loins came Van Buréi; everybody de- lighted in him. (Cheers and laughter.) Then came Poik, General Taylor, and Taylor seeing what there was beiore him retreated. (Laughter and cheers.) He knew there was no justice on earth. (Laughter.) Then came Mr. Pierce, who, as an old New Hampshire farmer said, “Spread him over the United States and he spreads out thin.”? (Loud chéers and laughter.) Then there was Buchana. Happy is the man who dies out into obltvion. Then came Lincoln. Was he sustained ? ‘Was there ever aman who was hacked 80 com- pletely as he wast «hen there was a man who, against his own will, was called upon to take the Presidential chair—General Grant—ani he believed that he would have rather fought the battle of the Wilderness over again than be President. He did not think that Gencral Grant would be understood until he has been out of oflice for ten years. He believed that Grant would prove to be as good a President as any esident who has ever sat in the chair. (Cheers.) It was not his will that took him to the chair. He was a soldier, with no education of the politician. The people thought that they could run government by the common people. Thatwas a mistake. It could not be done; n0 more than @ factory could be run without the skilled operatives, Poor politicians could be done without, but poor material could be done without in every profession. If government was only to be done with angels, we should have to wait very long. He made the mistake by attempt- ing to run without politicians, but he began to see he could not, and he leaned to politicians, not liking them, but hoping they would prove good. He (Mr. B.) therefore thought that they could not have put a better man in the Presidential chair. General Grant has one fault, which America will never pardon him for—he did not know how to make a dash. When he was called upon to walk down the aisle in the crowded church, at Mr. Greeley’s funeral, he blushed like a schoolboy. He (Mr. Reecher) had believed in Gen- eral Grant fromthe beginning, and when the four ears of his next Presidency were over be thought hat the country would rejoice to know that he had been placed there, and the New Eng'and So- clety might be congratulated that his grandiather’s loins had pressed the ground of New Engiand, (Immense cheering.) SPEECH OF GENERAT, SITERMAN. GENERAL SHERMAN said it Was a great pleasure to be there that night. He knew that thousands of his fellow soldiers would be rejoiced that they had been remembered thet night by the New England representatives, The army was free ffom politics, and 80 far as he could control it the soldiers would remember the oath that they had taken to protect all people, be they whom they may. Why was New York now so wealthy? Because the country behind it was filled with an industrious people. Why was this? Because this little army was suffering priva- tions in extending the country, which was filled with these industrious _ people. America ranked among the first nations in the world, It was true that the country was separated by thousands of miles of ocean; but it was necessary that the army should be kept ina state of efliciency, so as to resent any insult, come from whom it might. In integrity that army had no equal on earth. Then subordination and organ- ization was needful, and this had to be preserved. Then our arms must be the best to be obtained, and in this respect we had no equal. He had seen ithe armies in Europe, and he believed that America had its own peculiarities in this respect that would prevent it from scoring. any Euro model. We ought to be prepared on the very short- est notice to organize an army, and if he or any other general had power to lay their hands on the best young men in Broadway they could have an army equal to anyin Europe, Such a power he did not i ie] would be placed in their hands, but it would serve as an illustration of what might be done. The General concluded a again thanking the society for the compliment they had paid the Army of the United States, SENATOR WILSON'’S SPERCH. Vice President elect WILgon responded to the toast of “The Congress of the United States.” He said that Mr. Beecher had said that no President when in was popular, and he (Mr. Wil- son) was quite sure that no Congress living or dead had ever been popular, and he never knew a Congress that the people did not rejoice when it died. Mr. Wilson instanced the ig work that had been done by Congress, including the Fiteenth amendment, and the measures for reducing taxa- tion. During the last twelve years Congress had oe measures that had been greater or nobler than any deliberative assembly had ever paszed. He had no doubt that many men went to Congress who a to stay at home. After eighteen years he could say that there were many men tn Congress of high character, and entitled to (Boas respect. There has scarceiy been a Congress for many years that has done so much as the last. When the peo- ple aend a right man there, they should try to sup- rt him and keep him there. After all a great eal of good ‘came out of this Congress, and he thanked God that there was no Executive in- terference with Congress, and that the President was content with carrying out the laws Congress had made. He believed that the aons of New Eng- ‘and would never forget the spot of earth ou which they were born, (Applause), SPREOH OF WILLIAM M. EVARTS. Mr. Evarts responded to the following toast :— “The Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration: « ay, of peace, demonstrating that the statesman's wisdom is mightier than the sword.” He said:—It liad, he believed, never occurred in the history of the race that @ great nation should pass through the pertis of eat interaal conflict by suffering. an inter- vention by other nations, which would not have deen possible by its destruction; it had, indeed, | fms 7 our modern civilization or in the history ol e been permitted for a nation thas exposed to foreign intervention to pre- serve its peace and the peace of the world and get settle its account with the nation that in- tervened with us, (Cheers.) When the great Dower of France seizea upon the occasion of our civil war to renew a European possession of our boundaries, and when England swept the seas of our commerce, thus forming an intervention In the triumph of our arms that calied for the exercise of the highest powers of statesmanship and diplo- macy, and establishing & principle of arbitration between En@jand and America, it was reserved for the present gdministration to innovate an im- ) Proved work in ‘shy adjustipent of diferepees pesween, big ana Amerie aes free Geulty vest ‘our Jegotiations upon @ footing satisfactory wo the eens senna ss out people by the members of the Joint He thought that they might well be ae of that self-contained ade- juate appreciation of their power of right and bs that could thus, while ting not one jot or tittle of the mation’s rightg, to compose these iffe: she wisdom of i adr renewing the ti of power (onder) stead of rene’ 8 rugeies .

The tribunal had determined as the law of the world that no vessel holds its {reedom from ana tion that had committed an infraction of neutrality. (Cheers.) Thus our own people, as well as every other people, were to be restrained from these infractions of neutrallity. Was it too much to say that the principles of our confederation were mente more secure than ever?

Attempt of a Convict to Assassinate a Deputy Warden in the Chapel of Mas- sachusctts’ State Prison. Boston, Dec. 23, 1872. The Massachusetts State Prison, with all its nice features of forgiveness and education and pardons, is going in the wrong rut of popular progress. Notwithstanding the statement of the Warden on Thanksgiving Day “that he was surprised to see so much kindness among the prisoners,” and that “there were a hundred of them who, if pardoned out, would benefit rather than injure society,” it does seem that all in? inmates of the institution are not followers of the ‘meek and lowly,” and but few of them would obey ths res of the prison were they not fed on sugar plums and allowed those enjoyments which wonid be luxury to poor Jaboring men outside {ne prison wail Sah Yesterday f on " i, es Neon there was a desperate at- fempt made to assassinate Deputy Warden Hale. at seems that the religious ceremonies in the chapel had just concluded and the con- victs were about returning to their re- spective cells, when one of them named John Mahon, allas Joun Creamer, who was seated in the third row from the rostrum, leaped over the seats, jumped upon the platform and attacked Deputy Warden Hale, who was standing at the time, The deputy arapuled with the convict and both fell to the oor—the prisoner being on top of Mr. Hale. With the quickness of thought the pris- oner drew a knife, four inches long and half an inch in width, made from a file which he had pro- cured in one of the shops, and was on the point of burying it in the deputy warden when Warden Chamberlain, who had come to Mr. Hale’s rescue, caught the arm of the convict just in tme to pre- vent the consummation of the murderous act.
