II mppemf to sjiito III surprise of som of our democratic frirmls, iIihI so much difficulty -occurred in obtaining some one to accrt the office of Secretary of the Interior Department. Having heard it frequently charged by the leaders of their rty, that all the whig were a 4iungry, office srrkiiig eet thul they hail no principle, but were only after Ilia spoils anil office, it ie not a matter of surprise lh.it they

-should wonder why these hungry whigs did not jump at the bait, and Uke hold at the first offer of nffici. The office referred to is an important xae, honorable in position haa vast patronage, ad a handsome compensation of $i,00f) per antiain; and yet it was olfi-red to several whig, before one could be fun ml who would urcept it. It was first offered to Mr. IVaarie of Maryland, but he declined because his State had honxrd him with a seat in the Senate which he did not wish to leave. He wished to fulfill the duties of the trust confided to him. It was then offered to Mr. Hatks of Missouri, -he declined for reasons we suppose satisfactory to himself. It was then offered to Mr. (Ir.x.Ks. of the s in e tate,anl he declined because he did not want it. It was then offered to Mr. M'Kki.nai of I'a., who at the earnest and anxious solicitation of bis friends did accept if; but his health was too deli- j cats to endure the labors of the office and he re- j signed. ' It wns then teudered to Mr. Jfkiih of Uea., j 'bnt ho declined accepting it. It may have lieeu tendered to half-a-dozen others for might we know; but was finally nr.espied by Mr. STirturof Va.,who. we doubt not. will perform the duties wild fi UjIily und a devotion to the interests of the country. In it rilili it honest? Joshua It.

A jiesfrtion of his post is an infidelity to the trust confided to him. and the receiving of pay for services not performed is a stretch of hnety that conscientious men will not countenance. foiigroAionnl li hit insThere was a proposition before Congress on the Ifilh, annulling the contract for public printing, ami agreeing to pay double the amount Secified in the contrai l. The present printers to Congress are practical prn.ters, and knew at the limn they entered into their contract with the government whether the work could be done '

al the prices agreed upon, or not. If that price ; hundreds of thousands of dollars and is as much Inn low its it in now said to be. it was while, too, they are content to waste as doubtless the intention of those who made the i mucli on bail roads, with imperfect maeontrart to seek extra allowances to make up chinery of transportation, as would build

the deficiency. We have no evidence that the rice is too low , and some of the charges have Wen outrageoii.ly high. The item of printing for Congress is no small portion of the public expenditure, and should be examined with care. Thousands upon thousands of dollars are squandered upon the press al Wuxhingtoii thro unfair measurement and extra allowances. The people have an interest in this they tiro nut apprised of, and in the present initaucn (ougresn should require the fulfillment of tha contract. M A S K W A It.

BY T. 9. ARTHfR. Ifenry Green was a reformed man. He had been a most abandoned drunkard, and, in the years of his sad decadence, had shamefully wronged and aoused his family. Hut, in a lucid moment, he percieved. with startling distinctness, the precipice, upon the very brink of which lie was standing, and started back therefrom. For his suffering wife and children, the j waste places became green again, and j the desert blossomed as the rose. After i a long, long night of weeping, the sun ; came forth, and bis smile brought light j and gladness to their spirits. The hus-j band ami father was a man once more j with the heart of a man. He turned no longer away from them in debasing selfindulgence, but toward them in thought-! ful affection. 1 How quickly is perceived a change fori the better in everything appertaining to ( the inebriate's family, when the bead of it , abandons his sin and folly, and returns to, his affection and duty. All thn change! was apparent in the family of Henry j Green. They had suffered even to a deprivation of evety comfrt; but of these one and another were now restored, until every part of their humble dwelling seemed to smile again. How happy they were! And yet, the wife of the reformed man often fell a sense of insecurity. Sie mi dertitood too well that, for her husband, temptation lurked at every point. How often did she await his return home, as evening approached, with trembling anxiety; and mark, while yet afar off, his steps to see if they were firmly taken . It was early in the fall of the year when Henry Green took the pledge. j Through the winter, he had worked industriously; and. as he could earn good wa- ; ges. his income had given them, as just mentioned, very many comforts. He had not been much tempted of bis old appetite during the cold weather, nor did: he feel its active spring. But. wi' return at tiie opening h the fervent heat of summer, the sliiinberinii desire awoke. Active bodily labor produced free perspiration. Frequent thirst was the consequence; and, whenever this was felt, the thoughts of the reformed man dwelt upon the pleasure of a cool glass of some mixed liquor would give. W illi an effort, and often with fear at his heart, would he thrust aside the alluring iina?s lrnw:i tv his truant imagination. And yet. they would ever and anon return: and there were times when he was tempted almost beyond his strength. , Green was a carpenter. Ivarly in the spring, a gentleman offered him a good contract for putting up two or three frame j buildings, which he gladly accepted; and.i as the lot upon which his house stood was; lanre, he erected a shop tiiereon. More cheerfully and hopefully than ev-, er did tiie reformed man now work. He; saw a clearer light ahead. He would.; ere long, recover all he had lost, and even get beyond the point of prosperity from : which he had fallen. Time wore on. Spring passed and the summer opened. July came in with in-1 tensely hot weather. Already had Henry Green felt the cravings of his awakening appetite, and it required strong efforts at j self-denial to refrain from indulgence. j About 11 o'clock one day it was a hotter dav than usual Green's thoughts were dwelling, as was now too often the case, upon the "refreshing glass." once so keenly enjoyed. A little way from his shop, though not in view, was a tavern.; the bar-room of which memory was pic-1 luring to the eyes of his mind with tempting distinctness. He had often been there ' in times past often drank there until thought and feeling were lost. He saw. in imagination, the rows of alluring de-' canters, with their many colored liquors; ( he heard the cold ice as it rattled in the! glasses: he almost felt the coolinir beverage upon his lips. Sj absorbed did he at length become, that he paused in his work, and leaned over his bench, his eyes half closed, like one in a dreamy reverie. j It was a moment upon which his future for good or for evil, hung, trembling in an : even ballance which a hair might turn. j For as long a time as five minutes did Henry Green stand leaning over his workbench, a picture of the neighboring bar-' room distinctly before his mind, while he, was conscious of an intense thirst that it seemed as if nothing but a glass of mixed and iced liquor coul l possibly assuage. I With a deeply drawn breath he at length raised himself, the struggle that was going on in his mind more than half decided in favor of self indulgence. j "Papa!" spoke a low familiar voice by his side. Green started and turned suddenly. A child not over four vears obi, stood by him a fair child, with a countenance full: of innocence and affection. She held a' tin cup in both her little hands. j "Have a drink of cool water, papa!" j "Yes dear." replied the father, in a low j voice that was unsteady from the rush ofj a sudden emotion, and he caught the cup : from the child's hands, and, raising it to his lips, drank it eagerly. j Instantly the picture ot the bar-room. with all its allurements, faded from the, mind of Green. He was a man again.! in the integrity of a firm purpose, llisj child, led to him by the hand of a good I Providence, had saved him. The cup ofi cold water had fully assuaged the violence ! of his burning thirst; and he was no Ion-! ger under temptation. "Thank you. dear!" he murmured, as he lifted his child in his arms, and kissed her tenderly. "Shall I bring you another cool drink after a while? asked the little one, as she

pressed her father's cheeks with both her hands. "Did any one tell you to bring me the cup of water?" asked Mr. Green. "No, sir. Hut I thought you would like a cool drink," innocently replied the child. "Yes. dear, bring Trie another drink after a while." Then kissing the little anirel who had been the means of saving him when about to fall in temptation, he re-placed her upon the ground, and once more turned to his work; and as he bent his body in labor, be mused thus "I did not think of the water when I felt that intense desire for a glass of liquor it diil not seem to be what I wanted. Hut. the cooling draught sent me (by Heaven, I will say.) so opportunely, has quenched the morbid appetite, and I feel it no longer. Water, pure, health-giving water, you are all I need to give entire strength to my good resolutions! W hen the old desire comes again. I will drown it in clear, cold water. I feel safer now. There is a medicine tor the inebriete's craving appetite, and it is water. Freely will I use it! Thank God for water!" Yes. wafer is the medicine that cures the sickly craving fnr strong drink. Let the reformed man keep this ever in his thoughts, and, the moment lie feels tiie old (lesire. drown it, as did Henry Green, in pure cold water. Let him do this, and be is safe. He should watch the beginnings of thirst, and be quick to allay the uneasy sensation, lest he fall unawares into danger.

Further from California. Particulars of Ihe great Riot beticeen Sijuatcrs and Settlers on the Suter Claims Sacramento City Knlircly Consumed . New York, Sept. 21. The Philadelphia's news gives the following particulars of the riot at Sacramento city. A terrible excitement prevaded the city of Sacramento. Tlie issue is between the squatters and settlers holding property under the Suter titles. Several persons are already killed and wounded on both sides. The history of the affair thus far is briefly this. Large tracts of ground covering the city and vicinity of Sacramento are held by grants from Captain Suter. The settlers hold that this Spanish grant is not valid, and that the land belongs to the Government. Several moved in and erected buildings and a suite for forcible entry and detainer was brought against them anil decided in favor ot plaintiffs, and a writ of restitution was issued, but the officer who attempted to execute it was met by a body of armed squatters who resisted him. This occurred on Saturday the 10th. Prior to this an appeal to the County Court had been made by the attorney for the squatters, Judge Willis presiding, when the right of appeal was denied, which exasperated the party thus seeking redress, and meetings were held and resolutions passed to resist the law. Nothing more was dor.e by legal means from Saturday till Thursday, when some 6 or 0 persons were arrested for resisting the officers in their duty, and in default of bail, two were incarcerated in the prison brig, when a body of squatters repaired to the brig to release their companions when they met Sheriff McKinny and Mayor Higelow, and a posse who drove them from the ground, but no force was used, they had retreated some distance, from the river when they were overtaken bv the Sheriffand posse; they then turned when a conflict ensued and 40 or 60 shots were fired, and Mayor Bigelow was shot through the arm and in the face, and wounded, it is thought, mortally. The leader of the party, one Mahlony. was also shot dead. Assessor Woodland, and an auctioneer was also killed while supporting the officers. Shots flew in all directions around the comers of 1st and !th streets and the blood of the wounded streamed upon the side walks as they were carried along. The greatest excitement prevailed in the city as the boat shoved off, and from G to 9000 squatters had assembled, resolved to fire upon any one who approach ed them. The city was declared under martial law, and every citizen required to enroll his name; and in addition to this. Lieut. Governor McDougal directed an order published, that all non-combatants must keep clear of the streets, and a cannon supplied with 21 rounds to be placed at the foot of 1st street, and will by Thursday bring up from Rerencia men and implements of w ar, with which he is resolved to take the enemy and bring them to speedy and summary trial. Still Later Sacramento in Ashes. Just as the steamer Carolina was getting underway, about 4 o'clock P. M., a dispatch was received on board from the Pacific's News at San Francisco, bringing the intelligence that Sacramento city had been reduced to ashes, and that the squatters were receiving reinforcements of men from the mines. At the time the Carolina left. 50 U. Ssoldiers had left Berencia for Sacramento; and two volunteer companies at San Francisco had volunteered their services to maintain order. The stoppage of Barton Lee at San Francisco for the heavy sum of 81.000,000, produced great excitement both in that city and our own. The Philadelphia did not bring the mails. COThe Medical College in Boston, the scene of the Parkman murder, has been closed to the public. It is estimated that during the time it remained open for inspection, not less than 150,000 persons visited it. DirThe arms of the State of California are two grizzly bears to indicate, we suppose, that the Californians are death on hvgging.

As Mr. Seward is quite as good authority for what be dd say, as those who have misrepresented him, we offer an extract from the identical speech to which they attach their accusation. Here it is. "It is true, indeed, that the national domain is ours. It is true it was acquired by the valor and with the wealth of the whole nation. Hut we hold nevertheless no arbitrary power over it. We hold no abitrary authority over anything, whether acquired lawfully, or seized by usurpation.
