BIRMINGHAM, ALA.
No Demonstration or Attempt of Mob
Violence.

Special to the Appeal
BIRMINGHAM, December 5.-No attempt
or demonstration toward mob violence to-
day or tonight, though ugly rumors have
been current. 1t is said the advocates OF
lynching are seeking assistance from
neighboring towns. Several gatherings
were reported on the outskirts OF the town
late this afternoon and night. The reaces
able arraignment of Posey this morning
before the Circuit Court and his
return to Jail is regarded as a
great victory over the lawless element.
No disturbance since beyond single shot
at the sentinel tonight There were
several alarms OF fire to-day in the vain
hope of diverting the attention of the
troops. The Warrior Guards, of Tusca-
loosa, arrived this afternoon, making five
companies here, not including the Bir-
mingham Rifles and artillery, the
others being the Montgomery Greys
and True Blues, which arrived yesterday,
Lee Light Infantry, Opelika and Green
vile Light Guards, The picket was ex-
tended more strictly tonight, and the
town was several times patrolled in all di-
rections, though without discovering a
disorderly assemblage. Posey will be tried
Friday.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
speaker Carlisle to Appoint the Yer,
Rcsl Mon for The PIRccs.

Rest Men for the Places.
A Washington special saws: In regard
to the formation OF committees, il is under
stood Speaker Carlisle will, without regard
to support in his canvass or personal pref
erences, assign, as far as possible, the very
best men to the several committees. The
Election Committee will.sas far as in his
power, be made up of the fairest men,
Mr.. Carlisle being opposed to making it
strongly partisan. Mr.. Springer, OF Illi-
nois, was the last Democratic chairman of
that committee.
The Ways and Means will be formed of
Democrats whose views are in accord with
those OF the majority. Naturally the
name OF Mr.. William r. Morrison is asso-
ciated with the position OF chairman. He
filled this position in the Forty fourth Con-
greSs, but was prevented from bringing
the committee labor to an end
by the death of Speaker Kerr and
the election of Mr.. Randall at the short
session, when the turmoil of the Presi-
dental count also contributed its share
TO defeat the proposed tariff revision.
There is little prospect OF New England
having Democratic representation upon
IT, Mr.. Morse, of Boston, it is said, would
prefer the craftsmanship of Naval Affairs
to being on the Ways and Means. The
New York member viii bs either Mr.. Cox
or Mr. Hewitt. Mr.. Hurd, Of Ohio !;
Blount, OF Georgia; Tucker, Of Virginia /;
Hancock or Mills, of Texas, with two
members from the Northwestern States,
will probably make up the eight Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Mills was member Of that
committee in the Forty-sixth Congress,
while Mr.. Johns1lancock was the member
in the Forty-fourth Congress. OF the FIVE
Republicans ON the Ways and Means Mr..
Anderson, of Kansas, who is for revenue
reform, will probably be associated with

Malone and Riddleberger received invita-
tions 10 the caucus of Republican Senators
yesterday similar TO those sent Republi-

attitude toward the Republican party, said
he had no objection to attending the Re
publican caucus, and should have attended
that yesterday had he received the invita-
ton in season. He would not, however,
attend as a member of the caucus, nor vote
upon any proposition before it. He held
that thirty-eight Republican Senators be-
ing majority, they had right to its con-
trol. lie bad no candidates for offices,
and you'd NOT attempt to influence the
nominations. lie had strong preferences,
but should controi, himself, voting scSord-
ing to his preferences Should he attend
the Republican caneus, it would be simply
for conference. He believed his opinions
were shared by Senator hiddleberger.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1855.

!
the Secretary of the Treasury.
WAsHINGToN, December 5.-The Secre-
| tary of the Treasury has transmitted to
| Congress estimates of the appropriations
| for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885.
| The amount estimated as required for all
| the expenses of the government is 2S3,-
125,3O5, which is So, 33223, ,2S2 less than the
! aggregate appropriations for the present
fiscal year, and S57, 154, ,S57 less than the
sum called for in the estimates sub
mitted last year. The appropriations
for the present fiscal year, includ-
ing deficiencies and miscellaneous, are
$305, ,44S,5S7. The estimates upon which
these appropriations are based called for
| S340,2S0, ,l62. The estimates submitted to-
day are as follows: The civil establish
ment, $22,045,G63; foreign intercourse,
| 81 l,569,60l the military establishment,
| S27, 1856, l52; the naval establishment, S22,-
| 747, ,75l; Indian affairs, S, ,466, $40; PEN
sions, $4,000, 600; public works, $17, ,760,-
! 2li; the postal service, - ,95S, ,ll2; miscel-
| laneous, S25, $685. ,965; permanent annual
| appropriation, Sll5, ,l47 ,037. The esti-
mates in the above cases. except pen
/ sions, foreign intercourse and permanent
| annual appropriations, are for larger sums
than those appropriated for the present
! fiscal year. The appropriation for pen
sions for the present fiscal year amouniel TO
| Sob,OIo,ZSI tOrelgn intercourse, y, Ia ,9S4;
permanent annual appropriations, $l17,-
! 529,521. Some estimates which show in
| creases over the amounts appropriated
last year are as follows: Increase in the
military establishment, 81 ,G51 ,O55; naval
establishment, S8,7G7,3lI; Indian affairs,
s., 2,427, ,473; public works, Sl1, ,7S9 1868;
postal service, 81 ,942, ,OS7; miscellaneous,
, 81, l,lG2,917. The increase in the estimates
| for the naval establishment is due to pro-
visions Tor completing steel cruisers, mon
| itorS and dispatch-boats. The increase in
| the estimates for public works is owing,
/ principally, to the item of SS,025, 800 for
| improving rivers and harbors, and the in
crease in the estimates for public build
ings from 81 ,59l, 800 to So, ,937 The in
crease in the estimates for the postal
service is to cover the deficiency in the
revenues. The estimates for rivers and
harbors are as follows: Examinations and
surveys OF the South Pass of the Missis-
sippi river, $l7,500; gauging the waters
OF the lower Mississippi and its tributa-
ries, $1,000; gauging the waters of the

GREAT EXCITEMENT
In Montreal Over the Condition OF th<
Exchange Hank.

MONTREAL, December 5.-There is great
excitement over the flight of Thos. Craig,
president OF the Exchange Bank, and feel
ing is turned completely from the great
defaultef 10 the directors, who allowed
him 10 escape, and some OF whom are
alleged TO be at least privy to his de-
linquency. The condition of the bank is
considered far below that represented by
the statements yesterday, and some men
consider that it will be double the liability
paid up, and there will still be def; iency
of twenty-five or thirty per cent toward
liquidating the liabilities. Depositors and
other creditors and shareholder are or
ganizing to resist the directors being ap-
pointed liquidators, as they are elected by
their own votes. His wife writes that the
strain will be too much for him. Admis-
Iaiss;o1s have been made by George W.
Craig, secretary and treasurer OF the

as can harmoniously assist him. It is
likely the formation of this committee
will give Mr.. Carlisle much anxiety.
Mr.. Buckner, OF Missouri, formerly
chairman of the Banking and Currency
Committee, will not decline the leader
ship of that committee, nor will Mr.. James
w. .Throckmarton, OF Texas, the chairman
ship of the Pacific Railroad Committee,
held by him in the Forty-fifth Congress.
The Commerce Committee will naturally
90 to Judge Reagan, its chairman in the
Forty-iifth and Forty-sixth Congresses,
and the Public Lands to Mr.. George L..
Converse, of Ohio, who had it in the
Forty-sixth Congress. The Postofiices and
Postroads might still be claimed by Mr..
II. d. Money, who was its head two ses-
sions ago.
The Judiciary will be one OF strongest
committees III the House. Messrs. Cul-
berson, of Texas, Hammond, of Georgia,
and Hurd, of Ohio, served on that COM
mitteo in the Forty-sixth Congress. Mr.
Scales, OF North Carolina, would no doubt
be glad to resume the chairmanship of
Indian Affairs, which he has held three
times, as would Mr.. Cox OF Foreign At
fairs, Mr.. Muldrow OF Territories, and
Caben of Railways and Canals. Gen.
Rosecrans is assigned to Military, and
Young will look for Public Buildings and
Grounds Bland, of Missouri, for Coinage,
Weights and Measures; Willis, of Ken
lucky, for Education and Labor, on which
he served in the Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth
and Forty-seventh Congresses, and Hatch,
Of Missouri, the Committee ON Agricul-
ture, OF which he is an old member.
So far, therefore, as the chairmanships
OF important committees are concerned,
Mr.. Carlisle will have but little trouble in
rewarding his friends by giving them
places they have hitherto occupied in the
Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth
Congresses. The composition OF the en-
tire list will not be so easily arranged,
there being over a hundred new Demo
cratic members to provide for in making
up the majority list on each committee
The Elections, Ways and Means, Appro-
priation, Judiciary (of which Mr.. Black
burn will probably be the head), Banking
and Currency, and one or two other com
mittees will have the strength of the
Democratic side. The unimportant COM
mittees will give chairmanships to num-
Der of ambitious members. How soon
Speaker Carlisle may be able to formulate
this work will depend upon those whose
wishes will be consulted in assigning them
to duty with the several committees.

The TOnQuin Question.

PARIS. December 5.-The yellow book
upon the Tonquin affair was distributed
among the Deputies to-day. 1t contains
the Chinese memoranda, which Prime
Minister Ferry on the 2Sth ultimo gave to
the Tonquin Credits Committee. Marquis
Tseng regrets that France regards the oc-
cupation OF Sontay and Bac Mini as indis-
pensable to the settlement of the question
at issue. He also fails to see the necessity
of France occupying those places which
she is aware the Chinese hold.
Marquis Tseng comments upon the state
ment made by NJ. Ferry in the Chamber
of Deputies, on the 3lst of October, that
the French government did not believe
that China would declare war, nor had
France any intention of doing 50; that
France was desirous of firmly establishing
herself in the Red river delta by gaining
possession OF Sontay and Bac Mini; that
when that was achieved nobody would be
able to drive her OUT that with patience,
sang troid and her forces she would be
proof against everything, and that pru-
dent policy would lead to the settlement
OF the Tonquin affair. The marquis OBJ
serves that this statement produced pow
erful impression in Tonquin. If it became
question OF the possession of Fonquin,
further negotiations would be useless, as
it will be impossible for China to agree
thereto. On November 30th NJ. Ferry
declared that the ideas of the French gov
ernment had not changed in the last three
years; that the French policy was guild
ed by the principles which formed the
basis OF the treaty of 1874 The govern
ment desired consolidation, French pro-
tectorate, the free navivatiotf of the Tong
Koi river and security for its commercial
relations in Tonquin. The Marquis Tserg
having renewed the proposal to fix the
line OF demarcation between the armies in
the environments of Hanoi and at Sontay
and on the banks OF Red river. Ferry
pointed out that Marquis Tseng declared
on the 1st Of August that there were no
Chinese troops i'll Tonquin, whereupon
Challemel Lacour, then French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, replied that there was
consequently no danger of a conflict II
the Chinese forces approached the
fortresses against which the French were
advancing they would run the risk of
being considered Anamite auxiliaries.
Since then, added Ferry, the situation re-
NAMED unchanged by our acts. Our plan
OF the campaign is not modified, and can
not be modified. 1t is not with us that
thefesponsibility for a conflict will rest.
Active negotiations between Marquis
Tseng and Ferry have been suspended
since the latter's note of November 30th.

PENSION CERTIFICATES.
The Department Determined 10 Break
Up Bad Practice.

WAsHINGToN, December 5.-The Com
missioner of Pensions says it is the inten-
ton of the department to employ all legal
means to break up the existing practice
among a certain class OF brokers and
agents taking certificates from pensioners
as collateral security for money advanced
in suits to test the constitutionality of the
law forbidding this practice now pending
in Philadelphia, Boston and other cities.
The commissioner will issue duplicate
certificates To pensioners in all cases of this
kind, and declare the originals in tae
hands OF the brokers void.
