S-f ,fXK) a year, if the Penitentiary was located more favorably for work. Nebraska may profit by these facts if she vill. A Penitentiary, although Sri the present state of society, a neces sary,, institution, may also be a very burdensome one, unless economy be considered In Its location. The buil-dlris-itself would cost Immensely more sixty miles from the quarry than one within onoor two miles thereof. The prospective growth of this coun ty In population," wealth and business, never was so promising as now. The farming community and the towns on the river Peru, Brownville, Nemaha City;1 Aspln wall; Hillsdale and St. De- rain, all are catching the spirit, and 'are strcatching,.out In nil directions, crowding 'the hills back,- building dwelling, churches, school houses arid 'other conveniences of civilization.

They have 'for some' time' past had tlitfr eye -on a certain strip of land just outside the field, revolving in their mind jnst the labor and the material it would take to fence it In with the rest,' The laborer is taking advantage of the spirit of competition among farmers to secure the best hands for the . summer. The mechanics are viewing the pleasing prosjeet ahead of plenty of work, and pay. The mer chant is contemplating the idea of put ting up a few more shelves, or to so economize room -as to make space for a few mote goods, and the newspapers are enlarging to meet the growing wants of commerce.

The Commonwealth, printed at Lin coln, In This State, although, in some manner under the control of our most excellent Govcr: . :r,'h r.r: jily. pub lished by one cf the Governor's pro teges, in company vi:h a very worthy printer Carder. 'We find in its issue of the 20th of February j 6vcrtro c 1 umns, very respectfully devoted' in criticising the correspondence of the Advertiser. Such slashing editorial serv ice should not go long unrewar ded, still it is hopeful that no heavy ap propriations of State funds will be nec essary to liquidate their demands. Doubtless no averment on our part would convince the sage and wise genious who presides over the columns of that paper, that we arc neither ac tuated by "'pithy spite" nor "rancor ous yellow-eyed malice" in writing for the Advertiser. . The Commonwealth Adjutant Gci eral'i of the opinion that the question of extravagance depends upon the fact as to whether the State Treasury or (what ought to have been in there) the "State Capitol Building Funds" is the funds drawn upon,' and because 'we don't see it," flippantly talks of malice and. spite; reminding one of the spoilt child, who, if you are not continually .petting, praising and humoring itsevcry whim, the offender is charged with spite, malice or jeal ousy; We are confident that no rea sonable, Independent thinking man looks upon the correspondence of the Advertiser in the light which so wor- rys our editorial friend of the Com moniccalth. The Legislature had a large amount of businnss to transact and but a short time 'in 'which to do the same, and much ofits wo'rk had to be done with out due consideration ; it might have been malice that induced us to so ex press ourselves, but the discovery Is due "to the , editor of the Common wealth. , i ; i . -.We are now informed- that Mr. Chamber's bill ' for ' selecting State Lands has not been allowed. The com mittee to whom thebills of these Com missionere were refered, and who re-' ported a resolution strongly censuring the. payment of such extravagant charges were . otherwise informed. Most certainly it "would have been too much trouble for the Advertiser man to say that it (the bill of $3,900 .for furniture, chandeliers, sundries, &c.,) was paid out of the proceeds of the sale of Lincoln lots, and did not cost the people a dollar," for such was not the fact; such "presistant misstate ments" do not seem : to trouble the Commonwealth man, however. What Is said about a Senator and two rail roads,. Is to us, without observable point. -Wo await further elucidation from the editor's very agreeable pen bo forc venturing In such "muddy wa ters." We' accept the gentleman's arithmetical solution and should con sider him a prodigy in this science did lie not mention the fact that he came to his knowledge on a casual visit to the House when the subject was un der discussion. So he is shorn of his glory in his pompous display of fig ures. In the opinion of the CommonwcaUJt, our oposition to extravagant expen diture of the public funds "indicates a narrowness of intellect, and a lit tleness of soul that surprises us in a western man." We suppose it can't now lo helped, for oppose we are bound to do. We feel easier on learn ing that our unconscious "pithy spite" has injured no one, and that our "per sistent misstatements" do not mislead. It is painful to the Commonwealth man to think that as we "belonged to the section of the party that triumph ed in the late Senatorial contest," we could not be generous enough to be at least quiet under the immense appro priation of the "State Capitol Funds" and of the general funds. We have some Jjttle reputation for generosity when our own honor, repu tation and money are concerned, Mr. Editor, winch you will doubtless con ceed on reading this article; were it not so,' we might feel inclined to be as abusive as j-ou were insolent.

Cunninshsim IJurdell Jcf- lorus. Thcr? has been going the rounds of the papers for the last ten days what purport -d to be. a confession ct tjnars Jeffords in relation -to tne uur.mng- 1-am-Burdell -murder. Mr.Jc Cords imprhdned for the murder of Waltf n and Mathews and died whie in -prison. Before his death he was said to havemade a" long confession that he alcme with the consent of Mrfc. Cunningham, murdered Dr. Burdell and gave the circumstances with a good deal of minuteness. . ; ; In the weekly Tribune of the 23d we find 'a communication over the signature of . Robert D. Holmes the scniorcounsel in the case of the State vs. Jeffords, who says that Jeffords scarcely knew Mrs. Cunningham at the time of the murder and was but a mere child at that time and believes' him innocent of the murder of Wal ton and Mathews for which ho was convicted and sentenced, and Mr. Holmes refers to A. Onkey Hall and James T.Brady now deceased as being of counsel in the same case, and as en taining the same opinion-above ex pressed as to the guilt of Jefford. The public are treated j'early to a confes sion in this mysterious affair , and as often some one effectually contradicts the same. In the St. Joseph Union f we find a resume of the report of the Warden of the Missouri Perictentiary from it we learn that "there are manyahundred criminal in hli dungeon t4-day who withaknowledgeof common branches studied in our schools would , have made an. ornament to society.; The importanceof educational advantages is magnified by the fact that fifty nine per cent of the convicts - are between the ages of sixteen and twenty; five years of age who hate been drawn in to crime for the first time perhaps, simpl' because their, ignorance only fitted them for the lower walks of life.'f This accords with the opinion we have Often expressed in these columns, that the State has one of two duties to per form either provide a system of thor pugh education forheryouthora more extensive system of correction for her middle aged. We must either learn to live or live to learn. A well educa ted jroung man or woman can find employment at remunerati ve wages in any community. , It is only the igno- rant or vicious that are compelled to resort to other and forbidden "ways and means," for that bread which sus tains ' animal life. , Tax , we must.- There are men who work- to reduce the school tax and take the chances that the State tax for Fenetentlary will not be thus increased, The wiser way would be to increase the school and re duce the State tax. 1 Out of 73.5 persons 420 are less than 2-3 years old. Of this number but three were printers,. 491 can merely read and write, 131 can read not writeand 113 can neither read or write. 533 are single men , 340 were intemperate, and much other valuable statistical matter is given, from which the statesmen can determine what to encourage and what to restrain in the future revision of the laws. " The Teachers' Association of this county will meet in London on next Friday evening and continue over Saturday. There should be a general attendance of all teachers and persons interested in the cause of educational improvement.'

It could hardly do other wise, situated as it is, in one of the best and most populous counties in the State.
