OF the population of this State the last Gen.
sns shows that twenty per cent consists OF
foreigners, and Of about half million of
voters more than thirty per cent of naturalized
citizens; and thus we can approximate the ex-
tent of crime committed by the native and
foreign population Of this State. II is in favor
of the American population in about the ratio
of five to one.
This is not surprising when we consider the
deliberske attempts made by some European
governments to transport their criminals to the
United States, and the hosts of French and
English defaulters, pickpockets and burglars
that come here to escape the vengeance of the
laws Of their own country.
We observe in q large number ofconvicts COZ
tinued disposition to outrage the laws by the
repetition Of serious Offences fact sustained
also by the statements made in our crimi-
nal reports Of this city. that offenders continue
their evil courses after they have been many
times sent to the Islands or the Tombs. We
also find that among these wretched criminals
there is not one single "well educated" per-
son, and but one who made any pretensions to
G. Nesbit, lawyer by profession, residing in
TompkiRs county, who employed his leisure in
forging pension papers and cheating the gov
eminent We also find but one gentleman y
on the list, and he amused himself with forgery
also, though of different character. With the
exception in Mr.. Nesbit's case, the document is
remarkable illustration of themoral effect of
good education. Of all these convicts in our
own prisons but one had been student of the
classics We have here q complete vindication
Of their utility as branch of education. 1t
has been the fashion among a certain class of
philosophers of the so-called practical school,
to oppose the study of the dead languages and
the literature and history of the Greeks and
Romans in our educational institutions but
there is no doubt whatever that il has power
full effect on the minds of the young, presenting
them in q clear and impressive form some of the
loftiest noblest, manifest and most patriotic ac-
tons of the human race. The scholar familiar
with the lines of Homer or Virgil, the elo-
quence of Demosthenes and Cicero, who can
follow with interest the reasoning Of Plato, or
appreciate the wonderful learning Of Aristotle,
will not be likely to appear before our city
judges as a pickpocket or burglar. Let US,
therefore, cherish the study of the classics in
our institutions of learning as moral means of
elevating and purifying the character of our
young men.
The pardoning power seems to be exercised
with more liberality than discretion. The i'm
mediate if not final escape of criminals from
the hands of justice Gas undoubtedly led to the
continuation Of thn0dmes which are now the
terror of the community, and which our pre-
sent system seems inadequate to repress.

Mrs. Grand's first impulse was TO be ' not
at home, as she felt somewhat indispused,
but on second thought she cuntrised TO inluse
little animation into her pretty features,
aud crept down stairs. The ladies', however,
were 50 cordial aud so chatty, that Mrs. Law.
yer Grand did not regret having made the
effort.
Conversation for once took an unexpccte
turn, and instead Of wasting exclamations
upon that Mrs. Upham's extrasagant bonnet,
OF Miss Smith, the little flirt's new mOire
antique, the theme was, " Not at home"
Mrs. Granger declared she could see no
harm in such very little white lie, for ia
one sense people were not al home--to CON-
plny! She found il most convenient thing
for borcs, and il she had headache, or want.
