THAT FRArD.-The Potter investigating
committee has commenced operations, and
the first fish caught Is none other than John
Sherman, brother of the general, and, at
present. secretary ct the treasury, who dur
ing the pending of the count III Louisiana,
wrote letter to one Anderson, a supervisor
of election, in one Of the most populous
counties of that state, IN which he plainly
states that If he Anderson, stands firm :; i. E.
count the county for HAYES: he Will be re-
warded. Mr. Sherman does not deny hav-
ing written the letter, but says that If he
did, he has forgotten the circumstance.
Probably such Is the case, as about that time
there were so many letters written, and so
many promises made, most of which have
never been fulfilled, that no one man cOnld
be expected to remember them all, not even
a man possessed of John Sherman's gigantic
and overwhelming ''seas of memory" This
investigation has the sympathy of all honest
men OF both parties, not because it will re-
suit IN unseating Hayes or the Inauguration
of Tilden, but because the great body of the
American people have feeling of disgust
for trickery and all species of fraud. And
should fraud be proven, as it will be. the
chief conspiratOrs will be so overwhelmed
with odium that another like scheme will
never again be attempted in this country
Fraud, whether committed by democrats,
land some of the tricksters, we are sorry to
say, belonged to that party OF whether byre-
publicans should he made Odious, and the
mstigators held up to the execreation of all
mankind. Better have the country and its
traditions SINK ont of eyIStenpa than b,ya
lis high offices filled by those whose road to
power is marked by ingratitude, fraud and
deceit.

I'VE SIMPLY WANT TO SAY THAT

one failure Now this is wonderful Not many
farmers have bought any kind of machinery

TESTIMONIALS.
SALEM, Oregon. May 25, 1877.
We believe the MAGIC PUMP, manuf.c-
trred by H. B. Middaugh, to be the BEST PUMP
in the country, from the fact that it removes all
poisonous gases from the well, purihes the
water by agitation and by circulation Of fsire
air to the bottom of the well, making the wster
in every respect equal, if not superior to slat
drawn by the Old Oaken Bucket.

We have used the Rubber Bucket Pump for
one year, and find it superior to any pump We
have seen. 1t purihes the water and improves
any well where it is used. If you want good
health, use pure water, such as Is furnished by
the Magic Pump
JAS. WAEToN, U. S. Ccm'r.
Have lived in Oregon about 81 years have
tried nearly all the different pumps in use; had
rather have the Magic Pump than all the rest
combined. 1t works easy, and always gives
supply of good, pure water. Believe they are
more durable than any pump used;
A. II. FRIEK.
Foul and Poisonous Gases are quickly re-
moved by this MAGIC PUMP. 1t is known
the use of impure water causes more sickness
and death than all other causes combined. We
challenge the world to produce a pump that
is equal to our EXPANDING RUBBER
BUCKET PUMP. And, also, to one from
gentlemen living in Walla Walla and the sur,
rounding country, who have our MAGIC
PUMPS, THE EXPANDING RUBBER
BUCKET PUMP in use at the present time.
