Tho Massachusetts ThlmblesRiggeT.
Its not advantageous to the Admins
tra,ion that Gen. BUTLER Is recognized
throughout the country as its candidate
for Governor ol Massachusetts, las his
feeble son.in.law Is for Governor Of Mis-
sssippI) The popular instinct, while ad'
mitting Gen. BUTLER's smartness, does
not approve of him as public and rep
resentative man. 1t distrusts him as q
man in whose creed or composition well
defined principles OF honesty and duty
have no place. BUTLER is sharp, cunning,
bold, brazen, audaciouS. lie delights In
surprising the country by some au'
dacious utteranCe or proposition that
no man with normal moral sense
would think Of entertaining. People ad-
mire these things, but they do not trust
the man. They do not think him safe
man to be in high places, nor one to be
proud ol in a representative capacity. He
is always saying Or doing something to
confuse ideas OF right and wrong In the
minds Of the uninlormed-alwsys demor-
aIiziug thepublic conscience by Orttul and
plausible pleas for some rascallty by
which he gains or hopes to gain money or
power. At one time We find him urging
a scheme to break faith with the creditors
Of the Government by col lflscating their
bonds and giving them instead irrcdeema'
bic non .interest bearing paper, which is
sued in such quantities, for such purpose,
would be worth almost nothing. Now hc
IS the voluntary champion oil the salary ln'
crease, which popular judgement con-
demns as unnecessary and uDjudicious,
and the back pay grab which the uni.
yersal voice oil the people denounces as
robbery. The great masses who live by
honest toll, who do not subsist on the
public treasury, and have no share in such
punder, are not deceived by BuTLElEs
sophstries in regard to these measures,
and knowing him to be untrustworthy,
they cannot look with favor upon his cle'
vation to place that has been filled by
some of the nOblCst and purest men that
ever lived. That Mr. BUTLER has the
favor of the administration, and that
the influence OF its dependents Is
being employ to force his nomination.
Is too well attested to be doubtful. This
fashion of Federal interference in State
elections is a pretty old one but thor
onghly bad one ut all times. 1t is much
more prevalent than it used to be. The
action of the people In their State affairs
ought to be wholly free from Washing
ton pressure at all times; but to see that
pressure exerted to force such n. man as
BUTLER upon such people as the Re-
pnbliCans oil Massachusetts Is an unplcAs'
ant spectacle. 1t isalmost certain to lead
to political disaster In that State. II may
produce bolt outright, and il successful
ought to.

A Yesuylus in COLORADO.

A startling piece Of news has just come
to hand; no less than minute desCrip'
ton, by moro than one credible witness
Of volcano bursting forth o few miles
north oil US. We were inclined at first TO
doubt the statement, but 1t comes SO
straight, and the story is so well told, that
1t seems there must be something in 1t.
The facts are, that last Thursday Mr.
Burke, q trustworthy man oil this place,
was out prospecting near the head OF the
North BoWlder. Your correspondent
having been over that country, is pre-
pared 10 testify that In ages past volcanic
cruptions must have occurred there
Our prospector saw smoke at distance,
which he at first attributed TO fire in the
woods. But second thought convinced
him that was not possible, as its locality
was far above timber line. SO, with the
usual zeal Of a prospector for something
new, he clambered up and down and
over several ridges OF the main range
until arriving OF the place he
found himself ON the edge OF a
veritable crater. The place had evidently
once been the scene Of great and long
continued volcanic action, for there was
plainly to be traced the rim Of o prchis-
toric crater about one mile in diameter.
Within the ancient bowl and ncac the
edge the young volcano had commenced
operations. It did not emit violently
while he was there, but Contontod itSelI
with an occasional spasm. the rest OF the
time smoking as pleasantly as an old to-
bacconIst. But the best proofs Of his story
are bits OF lava, evidently OF recent origin
and several Jumps Of scOria. These are
now being handed about among the boys
and are regarded with as much curiosity
and interest as is ever manifested in the
last rich "strlke." A large party will starr
lromi here in q few days, determined tc
authenticate or disprove the matter. Sew.
eral men have already been there; auC
all returned with lava trophies.-Centra

Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-10-11
PROSPECTUS
Oh
The LOS ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, TIE Los ANGELES HER
AID, daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily will be a
neat and tastily printed sevcn-cOlnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will be II siX-column, eight
page paper, and will contain the most mpor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbought advocate of every interest pertain
ing to southern California and Arizona and
a jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In a word IL will he in
close communion with the People. In its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
tiers of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, Lahorer, and all classes of
Producers; and it will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo-
cratic jOnrnal and its efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now misman-
aging the affairs ofthc Nation. FOrthe accom-
plishment ofthisc end, it will hail with satisfac-
ton the cooperation Ofthc members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the NaIion depends upon the success
Ofa movement Ofthis character. IL Is reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The HERALD will advocate state Rights and
oppose alizatiOn; II will encourage White
and oppose CoOlie Immigration. 1t will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; Il
will advocate n Grecnback Currency for Cali
fornia, and oppose the present dwarfing and
deadening policy which upholds the present
ruinOus rates of interest and shuts ont Eastern
capital. 1t will advocate the People and OPP
pose MOnop0lies, no matter what guisc they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as a
dead issue, 1t will earnestly advocate the
right of every state, be 1t Northern or South
ern-MaSsachuSettS or South CarOlina-tO gov
ern itself in accordance with the wishes of It's
people, and the dictates of the Federal Con-
stitnti0n, without national interference.
The HERALD will oppose thieving ana pecu-
latiOn. No man rightly owns u dollar until
he earns II. Every dollar which Is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without Il just return Is robbery, and he who
takes this money IL II thief. Believing this,
the HERALD will oppose AIRY steals, custom
steals, land steals railroad steals, ana every
kind of steals.
Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic
Telegrams will he published. The aim wi
be to supply, in this part of the state, the de-
mand heretofore filled by the san Francisco
dailies No trouble or expense viii be spared
to make the HERALD, in this respect, equal to
any newspaper on the Coast. II will also con-
tain full Iteview of the Local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully compiled.
