SllEPIlERDSTOWN AND UaLLTOWW Tt There is an old adage that who will not help themselves ought no! to be helped." We regret to Pre our people tnanilesung so little tan- hie interest in taking the small amount of stock required by the charter for the construction of this much needed road, The mud season is coming when the labor to hor-ca and rack and tear of wagon? and vehicles will be a considerable tax and great annoyance. There is also a misapprehension upon the part of those living along the road, as jo the tunning of the road.

The charter provides that the new toad fhall be eonfined pnneipally tu the bed of the old road. We hope our peoplo will throw oil their indifference and come tq the work with an energy and will, and say this road shall be built at once. All the stock on the Kxblctown road has been taken, and their charter required double the mount. Aie there not twenty men able to take two shares each, and ten one share each? We beJievo thtre arc. The new code provides that any person who hns arrived at the age of discretion.

Tbomap, President of the Agricultural Association of Frederick county, will accept our thanks for a complimentary ticket, to attend the Agricultural Fair, to be held at Frederick City on the 12th of October and continuing four The success of last year's Fair warrants the opinion that the approaching one will not only equal but excel it, and we are assurred thai the prospect of a good display in every Department is very ing. The Fair will be held on tho new ground of the Society, which is beautifully situated in the Eastern suburbs of the city, 1 on the Baltimore Turnpike, near the Hail Road. The ground is improved by large Exhibition Ilalls, extensive Stabling, I (open and enclosed Stalls,) and a tine track for Trials of Speed. Water is cupplied by the City Water Works, and Forage may be purchased on the ground or in the City. Liberal arrangements will be made by the Baltimore and Ohio liail Road lor the transportation of Passengers, Stock, Ma- chinery, The Society has appropriated a very liberal sum to bo awarded as premiums for Trials of Speed, which will doubtless attract a number of the best horses.

Com- petition is open to all. A comet, which astronomers say is the most wonderful the world has ever known, can be seen in the northern pait of the heavens, with the naked eye, any clear night between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, and from that time till the morning star rises. An exchange says that "astronomers assure us that this comet will approach nearer the earth than any comet ever did before, and that either the earth or the comet will have to change its course, or a collision is inevitable. This comct id said to be many thousand times larger than theeaith. It is a solid mass of fire that would reach around the earth more than a hundred times, and a collision with our planet is not an event to be very ardently desired.

The Supreme Coifrt of this State Quashes the Proceedings oj the Circuit Courts. Three cases of removal from office Irom Greenbrier county end one from Randolph county, came up before the Supreme Court al its recent session for review. The plaintiffs were men who had been elected to county offices. and haJ qualified and entered upon their respective duties, but was subsequently fetricken from the Registration list, and ordered to appear before the Circuit Court and show cause why their offices should not be declared vacant. The motion to Fquash the pro- oeedings was refused and they were re- moved from office.

The Supreme Court the judg- ment of the Circuit Court, and Judge Brown in delivering the opinion of the Court says "A person legally el cted to the office of Sheriff under the constitution laws of this Slate, and having duly qualifieJ and entered on the duties of his office has a vested right in the office, with the privi- leges and immunities of value, of which he cannot be deprived but for cauee, and that by due process ol law. The Court erred in refusing to quash the rule on the motion of the Sheriff; and also erred in i admitting the Clerk's ceiiiticate ol the liet of names which he certified to have been ordered by the Hoard ol Ufgiftration to be stricken from the list of registered vo- ters. Only the record or a copy thereof properly certified to be a was ad- missableas evidence. Hut the most material and important error in the case was in depriving an ofli- cer of his office because of the fact alleg- cd, to-wit: that his name had by order of the board of registration been stricken from the list of registered voters of the county, even if the fact had been legally made to appear. The Constitution pre- i scribes who are entitled to vote and it al- so provides that any person so entitled to vote shall be eligible to office.

The dtfendent possessed all the qualifications required by the Constitution and laws to vote and hold office at the time he was eIccted and qualified as sheriff of Randolph county. He had therefore a vested right in his office of which he could not be deprived but for cause by due process of law (Art. 2, sec Const.) And whether the board of registration struck his name off the registry list of voters or not, was wholly immaterial to the right of the party and the to be determined in the case. It was never in contemplation of the Convention that framed the Constitution nor of the people when they adopted it, that a'l the officers of the State, executive, judicial and ministerial were to be dependent on tho discretion or caprice, as it is claimed, of an irresponsible Hoard of Registration in relation to an incidental matter. The Wheeling Intelligencer (Radical) in commenting on the above says "This decision announces a very important principle, viz that eligibility to office does not depend on tho mere incident of registration.

"A citizen entitled to vote" m3y be an officer under the Constitution; and the Court hold that to mean that if he has the several qualifications laid down it cannot bo material whether his name is borne on the registry list or not, that being a mere ministerial regulation that cannot affact the fundamental i right. These decisions by our highest court are conclusive on tho circuits, so that there will bo no more attempts to decapitate officers or adjudge persons ineligible on the ground only of their not being borne on the The principles enunciated and the error? thus corrected furnish an assurance of this which will be recognized by both parties throughout tho Slate. It assurance too that our Republican judiciary are prepared to do ample and exact justice whether such action be favorable to politic il Iriends or opponents. Where a judge of a lower court undertakes to convert himself into a machine for the execution of party or personal ends, wo 8' that the higher Court adminiMers a prompt and signal reproof. It is the misfortune of every party to be afllicted with some men whom any party would be better without, and who for mercenary ends do things in tho name of the party or under color of its sanction which that party ought not and dare not defend.

The Republican party of this State has not altogether escaped such misfortune. Hut we aro bound as a matter of duty and as a matter of self-defence to disown every rascal tries to cover his venality with the shield of our party and to disclaim and correct as speedily as possible whatever souses such persons may be guilty of. No oirense can attach to us as a party which we do our best to prevent or remedy. But the moment we peck lo cover up or apologize tor or connive at wrong doing, we become responsible and blamable. When Judge Nathaniel Harrison of the Greenbrier Circuit (who seems to be a sort of intensified Cardozo) undertook to violate vested rights and disregard the fundamental law in order to give effect to some mercenary or malicious purpose, we find our Republican judiciary administering a vigorous reprimand and announcing principles that will afford protection against similar attempts in future.

This is one gratifying assurance that whatever irregularities or abuses exist in the execution of law. there is no occasion to seek their corrcction outside of the Republican party. As we have said, it is our misfortune that a few men here and there have got into places which is but too much reason to fear they use more for personal advantage or to gratify unworthy motives, than from a duo regard for their official obligations. The duty of our party respecting all such cases, once they are authenticated, is plain. We must not be responsible for any abuses which it is possible to correct." Qiter Whim.

Scranton, Sept. G. There 's great excitement here in consequence of the burning of the coal bre ker at Avond ale. The mine is in Plymouth, about twenty miles 9ouih ol this city. There are '201 men and boys in tbo mine, and the shaft, which is the onlv means of escape, is choked by forty feet of burning coal and rubbish.

Ventilation is totally stopped, and there are great fears that some, if not all, will be suffocated. ADDITIONAL Plymouth, September A fire broke out ibis morning in a flue in the bottom of the Steuben shaft, owned by the Delaware, Lackawana and Western llailroad Company, in this pl.ice, snd in a short lime the whole breaker and out buildings were in fl.tmes, and the hoisting apparatus, the only avenue of escape for the miners, destroyed. All efforts to stay lie were in and the whole siiucture fell. partly filling up the shall. Over two hundred men are in the t-haft, and have no communication out and no chance for air, the only way lor getting sir in the shaft was through the main opening, 1 now filled with binning timbers and 1 1 is feared the whole number have been suflorated by smoke, or have i ished for want of air.

The lire departmenu of Scranton, Wilkesbarre and Kingston ere on hand ai playing streams down the shaft. It will probably take until to-moriow morning before the condition of the men can be ascertained, or any tidings received from them. The scene at the shaft i9 heartrending.

Some of the men who went down the eliaft last nig! reported that the fire in the furnace was all out. I lie presumption waa that when the lire broke out the miners had kept their senses, and having dragged the (ire, had fled to the upper chambers, closing the doors behind them.

Supposing this to be true, the rescuers proceeded on the simple plan of forcing fresh air into the mine by means of a fan working by an engine, both machines having been taken trom Scranton. I'orty-six men Ind been enrolled volunteers lo descend the shaft. I hey lowered lamps which burned freely. Nearly an hour later four men descended, but quickly returned, reporting that they had encountered "black or damp," as the miners call the deadly carbonic gas, which forced them to retire. Thus it went or until yesterday, when a party of men, penetrating two hundred leet and openirg the door, discovered that the fire was still burning in the furnace.

all hope gone. Plymouth, 9 I hose understanding 'he situation, upon hearing this fact, saw in a moment that oil hope at end, and all that could be dime was lo drag the lost miners from their fiery tomb and them Christian burial. A change of operations was instantly decided on. It was determined to extingu-ih the fire. Means are now arranged to that end, ar.d the day was occupied in deluging the mine with water.
