REsCUED.-Mr. Benson, the ferryman
between this place and WILDLY Island.
while on a trip to Smiths Island last Mon
day IN the sloop Twilight, picked up
man about half mile off Point Wilson,
IN fearful condition. He had been out
three nights and two days, In an open
skiif, without provisions, and was so far
gone as to be hardly able to speak or move.
he had worked In the vain effort to reach
haven Of safety until, from sheer exhaus-
ton ne was compelled to give up, and had
Il not been for the timely aid rendered by
Mr.. Benson, he must have perished vic
tim to starvation or suffered less misera-
Bile death by drowning. He was kindly
cared for and brought to this place by his
benefactOr, who subsequently helped him
on his way to Port Gamble. The name
Of the unfortunate individual has escaped
our recollection, but he was German,
BY natiOna lty; and as he lay there In his
ffaIl, fat-bOttomed skitf, rocked and tossed
By wind and wave, with naught but death
staring him the face, 10 doubt visions of
the iaiherland. with tleir attendant mem
cries fitted across his mind and, lighting
up the scene, helped to dispel the gloom
surrounding him In his helpless coalition.

The Appropriation Bills.

The conference committee Oh the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill has
practically agreed upon basis Of settlement
of disagreement between the TWO Houses upon
the bill. The army, consular and diplomatic,
Indau and SUI dry civil appropriation bills will
probably be compromised and passed By We'd
oesiay next, and Congress will probably ad
urn on the 18th. There is nothing Of great
national importance to do outside OF the silver
bill, which is uow 10 conference.
The tariff, internal revenue snd bankrupt act
amendment bills are to 20 over ii next session.
TIE G neva award bill may possibly be eotteu
through. The question Of the repeal OF the
resumption act is TO be settled 10 the CONF nit.
Tee ~ Baking and Currency to-day. at least
SO Tar as that committee is conceroed. lD view
Of these probabilities, Senator Morrill, has de-
cidrd to accept the Treasury portfolio, and will
take charge today or tomorrow.
The agreement upon the legislative, ex Gu
tive, and Judicial appropriation bill, Decessi-
tates considerable reduction Of force rather
than Of salaries, and the question Of reduction
will ne one of the first with which the new Sec
re,ary will have to contend.
Mr. Morrill, is 10 favor of low rate long run
ning boud 10 the process of funding the natIon
al debt.

SALT LAKE, July "A special correspond

DelnoraliZed Radicals.

Some # the radicals 10 Washington seem to
be 10 bad way, judging from the following
extract from the Republican OF that city-good
radical authority:
There is hutter around the Internal Rev.

seems to have grown into general desire Tor

tyred. With almost one accord the clerks seem

be was appointed by President ohosoo, after
the death of Lincoln, and was recommended as
democrat. Another says that he was ap
pointed By the same Influence that caused the
hanging of Mrs. Surralt, and is proud.
4 large plumber say they are republicans,
but opposed TO President Grant. Singular as
it may seem, the whole gang of BARRON boast
ers aud d;sgraced applicants for promotion are
still wakiug time 10 doubt as to whether they
should be men and assert their rights, or crlDge
and hang to the skirts OF power. The mauIy
thing for several people up there to do is to
hand 10 their designations aud say they cannot
10 Justice to their manhood aud opinions, hold
Office under such an adm: ustratl3n.
1t might distress the boarding house keepers,
but they ught DOT 10 mind little thlog like
that. They dout usually grow serious over
such an affair. But they are for Bristow and
reform. aud it is pity that they should draw
salary from such vie source as they claim
their superiors to be. They also (al.o is good
vord) teel quite discouraged to think that the
Confederate House did not grant them Cen.

They as growi at the warm weather and
the price OF railroad tickets, AID the luck Of

The Postof1ice Appropriation Bill.

10 the House f Representatives yesterday,
Mr.. Holman said that as the Appropriation
bill went to the conference there was a differ
epce Of over $3.O00000 between the TWO
Houses The Senate made concessions amount
ing 10 over - ,OOO, 900 and the House to over
$500, 900. The bill as it is recommended by
a. conference committee apprppriates over
S34 DOC, 900 The three main poi1ts OF differ
ence were with reference TO the compensation
OF postmasters, railroad transportation and
third class matter.
The conference had effected the best com.
PROMISE possible 90 third-c ass matter. For
the Star" mail routes the amount appro-
prated was overS60O 600 With regard to rail
road TRANSFORMATION the Senate wanted to ap-
pr3pria,e sun 10 gross aud Fay the same as
last year, but it vas t0ay agreed TO reduce the
price to b, paid ten per cent. below the rate
now fixed by law, aud this was an adj quate
compensation. The estimates called Tor ten
aud ahalf million dollars for the railroad SER
vice. and tie amount appropriated 6as
$l,6T2, lag b3lw the estimates. As to third.
class matter tho Senate proposed the present
rates and the House proposed the old rates 90
printed matter, but the postage Oh prloted
matter is LIFT as at present. As 10 general re-
suits the appropriations By this bill are
81 GIL QUO less than was appropriated for the
post service last year. Wuile the conference
report did not reach result which the country
had right te expect, yet the conclusions we're
such as be thought the House should assent to.
The compensation TO railroads was DOT as low
as it should have been, but i, was thought that
the commission AUTHORIZED By the bill would
be able 10 recommend much greater reduc-
ton oexf 9iuter. While the bill was not as
complete!eIy 10 the line of rctrencbuent and
reform as it might have been. yet it has pu,
check uron extravaganza, aDd 10 a year or TWO
The reductions can be made much greater.
Thus the first bill OF the pew century, which
bad just passed Congress- would show sincere
effort to reduce the expenses of the Govern
ment.
The bill! does not eject the law in relation to
the circua alton of newspapers 10 the counties
where printed. The report was adopted.
