the east door of the Rotunda into the Portico,
a man stepped before them, and drawing a
pistol, pointed it at the breast of the Presi-
dent and snapped it. The PERCUSSION cap ex-
exploded, bu the pistol did not go off. They
both rushed towards the desperate, and when
Mr.. Woodbury. was about to take him by the
collar. and the President to lift his arm upon
him, he drew and aimed another pistol at the
President, and it snapped as the other had.
Both pistols were heavily loaded, with pow
der and ball. An interposing Providence
prevented the dredful tragedy.
No one can give any reason for the terrible
act. 1t is said by some that the individual
has he'd times of insanity, and has made
similar attempt to murder his sisters hus-
band. On his examination, it Is said, he eX-
hiblted 10 signs of insanity. lie Is an En-

and has lived in the city about three years.
His name is Richard Lawrence. 1t is said he
exhibited no anxiety or uneasiDess at his ex-
animation. He told the keeper the reason OF
his attempt was that the Geueral had killed
lis father. OF course there WAS no pretence
for this. HIS father died q natural death, 1t
is said many years ago. l hope. for the hon
or of human nature and of our country, it
will turn out that he is crazy. | cannot &C.
count for his rssb, wicked and desperate at
tempt on any other supposition.
Tne transaction produced a most horrifylDg
shock in this city, as il will throughout the
nation. The desperate is well secured in jail,

himself with great hrnness though, with
all who were present, he was excited and
shocked by the desperate deed. He soon
walked down the steps TO his carriage. and
rode to his mansion.

property he owns, whether real or personal, in
any way, or to any other person, without dis
tlnction OF color, that may be agreeable to the
interest or disposition of the proprietor.
The statute requiring all negroes to make a
contract, on or before the tenth day of January
of each year, or to obtain a license to do job
work, ia unjust oppressive, and unconstitu-
tional.
The Constitution of the United States, as
wei. as the Constitution of this state, prohibits
forever Slavery or involuntary servitude.
II the negroes are required by statutory
enactment to obtain license to do job work,
make contrac. to labor for the year, or be
exposed to arrest, fine, and imprisonment, it
1t would seem the constitutional gift is not
much more than a name.
From these reports it is not difficult to un.
derstand that the late shareholders have not,
and are not now freely giving colored people
the same civil rights enjoyed by whites. 1t is
oniy through the presence of federal troops
that negro is sure of any rights.

ual and national wealth. Whatever constitutes
an element in the manufacture of another and
tax able article should itself be exempt from
tax IL is the ultimate product alone which
should be assessed, and then only from neces-
slty. 1t is wiser, too, to levey a large tax up
on few articles than small tax upon every
thing. 1t is less expensive and annoying. Ex-
perience is rapidly teaching this lesson. which
We might have learned from the older nations,
England and France, alike, derive almost the
entire excise tax from four or FIVE specified ar.
ticles. 1t may not be practicable for us imme-
diately to secure from so few sources the large
amount which we now require through ndi-
rect taxation, but additions of such articles "a
Congress shall determine should be made to
the list Of those exempted rapidly as the
amount to be deprived from such taxation can
be safely reduced"
