THE PREsIpENr [NsrLrED.-A drunken
South Carolinian, on Saturday, committed a
gross indignity to President Pierce, at the
National Cal i;ol, as he was leaving, immydi-
ately after the adjournment Of Congress, by
knocking his hat oirwith hard boil,ts egg.
The fellow was arrested, and failing to lie
himself out of the scrape or to get bail, at
tempted to bleed himself to death with pen
knife. As, however, the wound bf.d pro-
fuscly he got frightened, and allowed it to be
examined. Subsequently, at the request Of
the President. he was discharged.
