a NOVEL DIscovERY.-The Savannah
Ne~s, of Thursday, says: I'VE had the
pleasure Of visit, last evening, from
Senator j. B. Jones, of Burke County.
who exhibited to US q specimen of fibre
which, at first appearance, we took to
be lute. DR.. Jones, however, explained
that it was the production Of a cotton
stalk taken from his plantation in No
vember last, and which has been enb.
]ected to some preparation by MIR.
Stark, citizen Of Savannah. Mr.. Stark
has stated his belief some time ago that
be could obtain strong aud valuable
fibre from the bark of the cotton stalk.
from which could be manufactured q
very good article of rope and bagging,
and, at the request Of DR.. Jones, had
experimental with gratifying results.
From the specimen before us we have
no doubt that as good rope can be made
from this material as from hemp, as the
fibre is very strong and can be taken
the entire length of the stalk.
1.-The exact mode Of preparation is, oi
course, known only to Mr.. Stark, but
We understand the process is somewhat
similar to that of lax or hemp. The re-
fuse from the bark, it is claimed, will
also make very good article OF brown
paper. Mr.. Stark is of the opinion that
sufficient fibre can be Obtained from the
stalks in a field Of cotton to manufac-
ture oil the bagging and rope required
to put the entire crop in marketable
shape. The immense advantage to the
planter from this discovery. if it eau be
put into practical operation. and there
is scarcely doubt but that it can be, is
apparent at present the stalks are
worthless, but by Mr.. S.ark's process
can be made of great value.
1.-The subject is one Of no little i'm
portance, and we hope that MIR. Starl,
will present it before our people ia
manner which can be easily compre-
hended, aud that may result in this
valuable res ource being developa,,.

cit is somewhat curious that the Demo
cratic press should endeavor to convince
the people that their true friends in this

selves on the side of monopoly, applaud

lowed the railroads to fitch and hold by

CONGRESSIONAL.

To say that we were disappointed at
the result of the Reform Convention in
Sheboygan, last Thursday, is but ex-
pressing the feeling of many in this
County, who, although earnestly deserv-
ing the election of Republican to rep
resent this Congressional District, yet
had just appreciation of the honesty
and fidelity which has ever accompanied
the actions of Hon. Jos. Villas and if
Democrat was bound to be elected, and
the Republicans ''achieve defeat, the
force Of the blow would have been par
TALLY warded off had Mr.. Villas been the
successful man, for in his hands the
interests of the District-and our coun-
ty ip particular-would have found
trusty guardian. We know of nothing
against the personal character OF Mr..
Burchard, the nominee. But we do
know (or think we know that by the
defeat of Mr.. Villas, the election Of
Republican in this District, is assured,
if only the Republicans go to aoorA an
earnest and labor necessarily for such
result. The friends of Mr.. Villas are
not in the best of humor Fond du Lac
County is sore over the defeat OF Nj
Bragg, which fact, added to the further
one that that and Dodge counties never
couldo or will work together to advantage,
opens field for success which theRe,pub-
ilcans will undoubtedly make the most OF.
The casting of 1877 ballots is evidence
that each county in the District Except
ing Sheboygan) went into the Conven-
ton with determination to win OF go
out of it mad with very dubious reso-
luton to work sincerely for the success
full competitor.
At the Convention which assemblies in
Fond du Lac next Wednesday, let us
80 in with determination to work har-
moniously and give our whole influence
and direct our whole energies to the
election of the gentleman who shall re-
ceive the nomination-let's have no
chickering's, draw no County lines, but
go as a unit for the election of the man
who shall be chosen to bear our stand
ard through the campaign-providing
always that he be one who will repre-
sent us with credit to himself and to his
! constituents. Who that man will be
we have a very indistinct idea, and SO
long as he possesses the ability to serve
the District well, it is immaterial.
The Republicans will have hard row
to hoe this Fall. There is no sense in
denying that and it will require the
hardest kind of work, and the greatest
unanimity of action to make the labor
bring fruitful return.

WHY THEY WoN'T. Speaking Of Sam
Rindskopf, the Evening Wisconsin of
Tuesday says:
We have frequently asserted that the
are opposed to the nomination. Inproof
of this we append the following bona
tfde letter from one of the best-known
Democratic-R eformers Of the c1ty-a
man whose opinion is that tot the staunch
men of the party:
WHY WE WON'T.
Editor Erenng' Wisconsin,:
Permit me to state the reasons why
Democrats will not support MIR. Kinds
kopf:
First. His nomination was bought
with money, beer and whiskey and is
the first ever accomplished in this coun-
ty or district through thefree..use of such
agencies at the primaries. This preced-
ent is bad one, and should not be en-
couraged.
Second. There was no free, unbought
expression of the voters at the primaries
had there been he could not have recei-
ed votes in the Convention, for most
of the delegates declare now their inten-
ton to vote against him.
Third. He is under Indictment for
conspiracy to defraud the government,
and conviction will rnseat him should
he be elected. This precedent is worse
than the first. No party before has ever
had the impudence topresent man I'M
der Indictment for high public Office
but the party has not presented him.
Fourth. He is illiterate and incom-
petent. There is no assurance as to how
long Calkins will continue to write his
speeches; besides there is a grave ques-
ton as to whether his speeches, even
when written by Calkins are worth any
thing.
Fifth. He is repudiated now, and was
at once upon his nomination being made,
by every respectable man in the party.
A DEMOCRAT.

ratio Congressional Convention for the
Fifth District, at Sheboygan yesterday,

18th ballot Hon. Samuel D. Burchard
was nominated to succeed Hon. Charles
A. Eldridge in Congress. Mr.. Burchard
is young man of fair business ability,
who now represents Dodge County in
the State Senate; is a ''Reformer" what
ever that may mean, and, if elected, will
be long time in acquiring the position
which the present member from that
district holds among his party at Wash

faction is felt by the Bourbons- bolt

THE News is mad because Judge Nal
lory, one of the staunchest Democrats In
Milwaukee, is showing up the many
mean devices Rindskopf used to obtain
the nomination for Congress. It is the
creed of Demo-reformers to go for the
man who pays the highest price, and we
are not surprised that the News should
whine when its patron Stated, to the
tune of SIS, O0O is abused by one of his
own political faith.

TIE CONGRESSIONAL CONVEN-
TION,

We extract from the Sheboygan Fer
aid the following in regard to the 'aom>
nation made by the Reformers in that
city last Thursday:
The delegations from Dodge,
Fond du Lac, and Manitowoc.. stood by
their candidates with true Democratic
pertinacity, when all Office the prize,
the delegation from She ,oygan being
the only one that wavere9 until the one
hundred and ninety E ISth ballot was
announced.
There was momep is pause. It was
nearly time for the afternoon trains to
depart. The Dodg' and Fond du Lac
delegations were Sc rely in need of clean
linen. Some kin 1 OF a bargain was
made, and Ger .eral Bragg suddenly
withdrew his anne in favor of Mr..
Burchard. TT is gave the coveted nom
nation to d. ,dge County on the next
ballot, leaV ng the Lake Shore "Re-
formers" I'm .potently gnashing their teeth
over the " iortuitous circumstance" that
gave the counties of Sheboygan and
Manito' roc, with their IS, 900 population,
only O ne more vote in the convention
than Dodge county with its $4,000 pop
ulat Aon.
Che nomination of Mr. Burchard is
fJY no means satisfactory to the Lake
Shore ''Reformers. The conduct. OF
the Dodge County delegation is de-
nounced as stubborn, uncompromising,
and dictatorial. The friends of Mr..
Villas are especially angry because GER
tain Dodge County delegates falsely re-
presented him to be railroad man, and
publicly declared that tho people OF
Dodge would not vote for him under
any circumstances. The Sheboygan
County s'Reformers' are generally dis
gusted.
Now, let the Republicans put an able
and unobjectionable man in the field
against Mr. Burchard and it is not I'M
possible we may be able to elect him.
We certainly could hardly nominate q
man who is not as well qualified for
Congressional service as the man who
made the silly speech at the opening OF
the oratorical tournament, on Wednes-
day evening.

Sam Rindskopf, the gentleman norpin-
ated yesterday by the Reformocrats for
Congress, from this district, is ineligible
for the position, because of the fact that
he is now under bonds awaiting trial ON

man, accused of crime against the against
the government, proposes to become one

ONE extremely hot day recently on a
marsh near Plover, Portage County, a
large column of smoke or flny cloud
was seen arising followed by noise re-
sembling that produced by train OF
cars passing over bridge or trestle
work. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that about fifty arces Of the sur
face of the marsh had been torn up in
large burrows, or like the waves of the
sea, apparently by great force. There
are numerous theories as to the cause OF
the remarkable freak, mnny inclining to
the opinion that it was due to the ex-
plosion of gaseous matter below the
earth's surface, generated by the intense
heart of the SUM- Waupun Wis.
