ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIN ATM THE 1 1 1 1'.S 1 1) K N T , Washington, Jax. 31. While the President was at ihe Capitol yesterday, in attendance on the funeral of the Hon. IVarrcn R- JJrcis, from South Carolina, Richard Lawrence, a painter, resident of this city, attempted to shoot him. Col. Lane, of Indiana, infos med us, lhat he saw this individual enter ihe hall of the House
during the delivery of the funeral scr- j mon. Before its close, however, he
had taken his stand ur the eastern poi-
tico, near one of the columl's. 11 c
Bresident, with the Secretary oi
rreasury on his left arm, on retiring
from the Rolundoto reach Ins carriage at the steps of the portico, advanced
towards the spot w here Lawrence stood,
who had bis pistol concealed under his
coat, and when he approaches! within
two xardss and a half ol him, the assas
sin extended his arm and levelled ihe pistol at his breast. The percussion cap exploded with a noise so great that several witnesses supposed the pistol had tired. On the instant, the assassin dropped ihe pistol from his right hand, and taking another ready cocked from
his left, presented and snapped it at the President, who at the moment had
raised his stic k, and was rushing upon him'. Woodbury and Lieutenant i,,v ;:t the same instant laid hold
of the mr,, v,.,iw ( .,ockcd jown. crowd and was at la v- .

Ihe Navy, Col. Burd of the House, Mr.
vingmai , and Lieutenant c.eciney, an

imined, and gave a more minute detail
of the. circuinstaces above slated.
Mr. Randolph, the Sergeant of the
House, who attended the Marshal to
conduct the prisoner to the City Hall
for examination, gave in testimony that
ihe prisoner, when asked bv the Mar
shal what motive he had, lo make his
horrid atte mpt, staled lhat the President had killed his father. His father
was an LtiLilishman, who died many
years ago in this city. The son himself was apprenticed afterwards to a
Mi. Clark, with whom he lived three years. Mr. Clark, w hen called upon, said, that he was a young man of excellent habits, sober, and industrious;
lhat he had seen him very frequently, and was well aeaplainted with him since he had left his family, and heard nothing to hi disadvantage, until of late, he was informed that he was quarrelsome among his friends, and had
treated one of his sisters hadlv.
The total absence of any personal motive em the part of the prisoner to commit the deed he attempted, has suggested the idea that he must be insane. There was, however, no evidence given in the examination to authorize the

J., astonish any one w ho has not examined this subject to learn from the Report of the Prison Discipline Society, and other sources, which he had examined, how vast was the amount of human misery which grew out of the sav
