would surely be full by this time,
were it not that tie wheeling old
wretch possesses prolific ingenu-
ity for originating acts of atrocity,
not possessed by rascals of smaller
calibre. Last week we said "the
parson is trying to concoct some
rascality." Some of our readers
thought we were unnecessarily Sc
we're; but today we are enabled
to furnish full justification of
the remark. Below may be found
the parsons "proclamation" set
ting aside the registration Of this
county. The ''frauds and iIregu-
larities" to which reference is made
have no existence, as is we'll known;
but the Democrats had q round
majority in this county. By per.
sistent industry they collected such
an amount of proof, in obedience
to the requirements Of the fran.
chise law, as to compel the Regis
tration Commissioner, who is O
Radical, and an appointee of
Brownlow's, to grant the certifi.
Gates. He could not have refused
and respected his oath. Brown
low heard of this, and deeming q
Democratic majority in Lincoln
county "irregular," he annulled
the registration. That is the
whole matter in a nut she'll. Be-
low we print the proclamation :

T.. FL. NHE.4FE,
OF COFFEE COUNTY.
Turnpikes.

lne winter is coming on IN winch
road work will be impossible al
most, and in which our farmers
and everybody else that has any
occasion to travel over our roads,
will have good opportunity to
tire of mud and rocks. Now they
will probably not appreciate fully
what we may say for Turnpikes,
but as they trudge through the
cold mud and the icy slippery
rocks of winter, they will more
justly appreciate the pleasures and
advantages of good roads. And
certainly nothing more beneficial
to our county could be proposed
than the pixies we have heretofore
advocated, to:wit: to Petersburg,
Pulaski, Elkton, and Huntsville /;
we do not say to Shelbyville and
Tullahoma, because we believe all
has been said that is necessary.
But if We had these we would not
stop with them, for we know of
several other directions that we
believe will be 'pika as soon as
the main lines can be built. All
we want now is to have good roads
from the county town out to the
neighboring towns in all directions.
When we have our great Annual
Fairs we don't want our friends
from adjoining counties to say,
eve can't come over such rough
roads with our stock"
But It's not merely the pleasure
of coming over q good road, and
having our friends come to see us,
that should induce the improve
ment of the roads, Some are OBJ
liged to travel in very bad wea-
Their on account of business; some
must attend the courts because of
a summons, and some because of
interest in suits; and we have in
addition the calls of sickness. If
we could travel on pixies half the
trouble could be removed. We
should think far less of the wea-
Their or of the night if we had a
good smooth road to go over.
And more than all else, we must
get what we raise to market. By
means of the branch Railroad to
this place we can get out to the
main lines and 60 where we please,
but we must have the means of
getting to the depot here. If the
six Turnpikes to which We have
referred were built, every bushel
of wheat or corn, and every pound
of cotton raised in Lincoln county
could be got to the Railroad de-
pot, with very little hauling over
the dirt road-the pixies would
reach almost every neighborhood.
If we would become a prosperous
people we must be able to. get to
market. Therefore we say to you,
in our humble opinion, these pixies
are vastly more Important than
any further Railroad connection,
We have now a Railroad that con-
meets us with the main lines
That will do for the present at least.

We need the pixies ao,c, to enable
us to obtain the full advantage of
our present Railroad connections.
Therefore we beg OF our peo-
pie to cease to think of further
Railroad connections just now, but
drive forward the pixies with an
energy that knows no such word
as fail"
The advantages of the pixies
are so numerous that they cannot
fail to strike our farmers. They
are a strong incentive to better
and more energetic farming by
giving the farmer his market, and
a ready sale at a reasonable price
for every thing he raises. This
alone ought to induce exertion
on the part of our farmers. But
we have as a consequence of this
an increase Of all kinds of business;
an increase of business for our farm.
ers, for our merchants, mechanics,
and all others, and an increase fol
our Railroad, enabling us, perhaps
to pay our interest and take it out
of the hands of the State, and run
it more economically for ourselves
Then having all these things, if
we desire other Railroad connec
tons, we would have some money
to build them with.
Moreover most of our farmers
living 10, II, or Is miles from
town could send their wagons to
town, transact their business, and
go back the same day, and most
of the year, could make all in day
light. This they don't think Of
doing now.
We wish our people would think
about this matter, and what is bet
ter, would go to work to secure the
roads. We do need them badly
they would certainly be of more
advantage to us now than any
thing else ; then say nothing mor'
about Railroads just now, but pusl
the pixies with might and main.

the 10th and returned Immediately
to Nashville. On the 18th, A. H.
Russell, Commissioner of Registra-
ton, was deposed from Office, and
on the 10Th the registration of this
county was set aside. We have
heard it suggested that perhaps
the facts in this case can be brought
to light. Who has been conniving
to deprive the people Of this coun-
ty of that inestimabIe right OF
which an unjust law could not de-
prive them? Was Senter receiv-
ed at the depot by any one? Did
he "juggle" with anybody while
here? Was he escorted to the
train when leaving? If so, perhaps
the persons con duty" can give US
the desired information. We did
not see him, and do not know that
he received any attention; but if
he did, the information sought
could possibly be furnished.

YulgarIt1 Of Loud Talking.

Correspondence of this Liberal Christian. I
/ see in your excellent paper a little
paragraph on good manners, In which
splitting and lounging are described
as proofs of semi barbarOus state of
society, and / must beg leave to notice
another popularity of our social
manners, equally indicative Of low
state of civilization. I allude to loud
talking and screeehing laughter. This
is so peculiar to Americans that they
are known by it in Europe, and, as
well bred people, they never tolerate
it. Even In the most social circles it
is considered a mark of ill-bTeeding
belonging only to the lowest class.
Aside from this conventional pro-
test against it, there is a regular OBJ
lection to it, in the injury it does to
the vocal organs. Talking through
the evening at the top of the voice is
very painful and fatiguing, and yet
the noise made by the whole company
is so great that no one can be heard
who speaks low, or in natural tone.
Many throats are made sore and many
heads are made to ache by this unne-
cesgary noise, and persons subject to
bronchitis are obliged to avoid it en-
tirely. In all European society the
voices are kept lower than usual IN
large parties, and a general hum pre-
walls, 10 which every person Is easily
heard By those he addresses. The
loudness of Americans is very mark
ed, and produces disgust and indigna-
ton when It breaks the stiffness OF pic
ture galleries and other public places
where nothing but whispers are ever
allowed. When loud voice Is heard
from an American traveller every one
is startled aud looks round to see
whence it comes. and the comments
on this breach of good manners are
very severe. / once introduced some
very refined and cultivated Americans
to a gentleman in London, who could
have done much for their amusement,
and procured their admission to many
private galleries of painting and sculp-
ture; but after one experience of
their vociferating, IN a public exhibit
ton, he would not again expose him
self to the pain and shame they then
caused him. He wrote to me to eX-
cuse himself for not having done
more for my friends, by saying that
their loud talking made them not pre-
sentable In refined society. and not
bearable in public places. He added
that he had made a dinner party for
them of Americans only, and they
laughed and talked so loud that he
was afraid the police would come In
and see what the row was.
