A PENITENTIARY.-Gov Worth, in his
late Message to the Legislature, recommends
the building of Penitentiary in this State.
Our opinion about the matter will not infu-
ence the action of the Legislature one way OF
the other, but we merely want to say that we
do not agree with the Governor. e..
First, we are opposed to this scheme be-
cause it will require larger amount of mon
ey to erect the buildings and put the estab,
lishment in operation than the people can
spare in their present impoverished condi-
ton. The Governor acknowledges that the
people are barely able to pay their present
taxes, and many are entirely unable to pay
! their debts vet he makes recommendations
