A Joke on Brother Clifton.

From the atlanta (Gd) Journal
This morning Hon. William Clifton Of
Chatham was again made the mark of the
humor of the House. He was sitting in the
gallery talking with ladies.
Hon. Primus Jones of Baker offered a
resolution that the Hon. William Clifton of
Chatham be invited to seat in the House.
Col. Reilly saw a chance for a telling
witticism, and offered the following amend
ment: THAT the gentleman from Chatham
rise, report progress and ask leave to sit
again"
The speaker, amid bursts of laughter,
ruled that the amendment was not german.
