A Scene In the Alabama House.
The Montgomery Confederation gives
the following account of little incident
in the lower House Of the Alabama
Mr.. Clrthcrall was speak
ing on the "stay law" and was saying
that had he known such law "were
necessary and logical sequences OF the
act Of secession, would, in order to
saue the good taith, credit and interest
Of Alabama, have been content, as the
alternative, to have remained four years
longer in the old Union, even uCder Lin
coln's administration"
At this point hiss was distinctly
heard.
Mr.. Clitherail proccedel-Mr Speak :
er, gentleman misses; no, sir, not q
gentleman, but a gentlemen do
not hiss. | do not know whether the
hiss came from the floor or the lobby,
but if the individual who Kissed will
make himself known and put himself
within my reach, will put his mouth
in such . condition as will render it diff
ficult for him to engage in that pastime
tor week to come.
Az these remarks were made, Mr..
George G. Henry, Of Mobile, walked
hastily from the west end of the lobby,
aud faced MIR. Ciitherall, row Of desks
and lobby cnaim intervening between
them.
Mr.. Clitheral-Are you the person
who hissed me!
Mr.. Henry-I am.
Mr.. ClitheralI-Then here is my an.
swer, and immediately hurled an ink
stand, striking Mr.. Henry on the
breast.
Mr.. Clitheral then lcaped over the
desks, approaching Mr.. Henry. who
showed no disposition to avoid him,
when . dozen or more members inter-
posed, and Mr.. Henry was taken out OF
the Hall.
Mr.. Clitherall proceeded with and fin-
ished his speech, after which Mr.. Henry
was brought before the bar, charged
with "vioIating the decorum," &c. Mr..
Lyon appeared in his behalf and said !:
He had known Mr.. Henry from boy
hood, and knew well many Of bis friends;
that upon the occurrence Of the scene Of
in the House, he had ap-
preached Mr.. Henry, aud bad a CONVEX
sation with him. That Mr.. Henry in-
formed him that he was, while the gen.
tleman from Pfckcns was addressing the
House, engaged in the lobby IN writing
letter; that understanding the speak
er to utter q sentiment which his iudg-
ment did not approve, he simply pro-
posed to show his dissent by q hiss,
without intending disrespect to Mr..
Clitherall OF to the House /; that his idea
was that such mode OF dissent by hiss
