In short, 1t seems that crime decreases almost ln the same ratio that schools in- crease, while more or less churches seem in Bavaria to produce very little effect up- on it.
 Mir. Hawkins claims that the parochial school system favored by the Catholic priesthood produces inferior results to our public school system:
 The fruits of the two systems also exist side by side in our own country.
 There are with us $500, ,000 of foreign born inhabitants, the greater portion of whom came from countries, as Ireland and England, for example, that have the parochical or church system of schools; hence they may justly be taken, intellect ually and morally, as the fair average pro- duct of that method of education.
 Of these, the ill1terates above the age ot ten, are fourteen per cent of the whole number; the paupers are four and one tenth per cent and the criminals one and six-tenths per cent.
 While on the other hand, in the twenty one of our States having the American system-of non-sectarian free public schools there Is g native population of 20, ,OOO,OOO This native population has been educated in this system of schools, and in like man. ner may be justly taken, Intellectually and morally, as the fair average product of this method of education.
 Of these, the illiteraBaB above the age of ten are only three and one-half per cent of the whole number; the paupers only one and seven-tenths per cent, and the criminals only three-fourths of one per cent.
 Allowance should be made, however, for the inferior social condition of foreign CTS in America. Our own Northern ne- groes, for instance, show avery large per centage of crime, no doubt from the fact of their being kept in m inferior social condition by the prejudice against color

Education and Crime.

MT. Dexter A. Hawkins, of New York, chairman of the committee on Education of Political Reform society glves some important statistics regarding the infu ence of education on crime i'll recent re- port. We make the the following extracts: CRIME THE CONSEQUENCE OF IGNORANCE.
 In France from 1867 to 1869, one-half the inhabitants could neither read nor write; and this one-half furnished ninety five per cent of the persons arrested for crime, and eighty-seven per cent of those convicted. In other words, an ignorant person, on the average, committed seven times the of number of crimes that one not ignorant did.
 In the six New England states of our own country only. seven per cent of the inhabitants, above the age of ten years. can neither read nor write, yet eighty per cent of the crime in those states is com mitted by this small minority; in other words, person there without education commits fifty-three times as many crimes as one with education.
 In New York and Pennsylvania an igno- rant person commits on the average sev- en times the number of crimes that one who can read and writes commits, and Tn the United States the illlterate person commits ten times the number of crimes that the educated one does.
 These facts are derived from official sta- tistics.
 THE SCHOOL THE PREVENTATIVE OF CRIME.
 We may have supposed that it is the churches rather than the schoolsthat pre- vent people from becoming criminals, but facts indicated by statistics collected by Government show the contrary.
 The kingdom of Bavaria examined this nnestinn in 1874 In Upper Davaria thero were 15 churches and 51 school houses to each ,O0O buildings, and 667 crimes to each 100, 900 inhabitants. In Upper Fran conia the ratio was churches 7 school houses and 444 crimes. In Lower Bava- ria the ratio was. 10 churches and 49 school houses and 87O crimes. In the Palatin- ate, the ratio was churches, II school houses, and only 425 crimes, or less than one-half. In the Lower Palatinate, the ratio was Il churches, 6 school houses, and 69O crimes, while in Lower Franconia the ratio was churches, 10 school houses and only 3S4 crimes.
 Tabulated for clearness of comparison it is as follows;

The Courant comes out in favor of nom- mating Mir. Henry B. Harrison for Gov ernor. We see, however, that MT. Harri- son declines any nominations:
 It is now settled that the legislature will hold it's last session at New Haven next spring. The inauguration will no doubt be the occasion of great demon stration, in which the entire state will ex- hibit its pride in its great university town. 1t has seemed to many, as 1t does to us, that 1t would be an eminently proper and graceful thing, if the governor elect upon that occasion should be a New Haven man. We know that the democrats will say that they can arrange that in the per son of Governor Ingerson. But we do feel sure enough of his reelection to be at ease on this point; and not to take any chances, we should prefer to run a New Haven citizen about whose election there can be little doubt. We mean MT. Henry B. Harrison. We believe that he would be acceptable in every part of the state, and that his nomination would be taken as an evidence of entire harmony and good feeling. We believe, indeed, that it would brush away any remnants of bit terness growing cut of recent contests, He is man of high character and princi- pie, whose nomination would honor the state and whom the state would delight to honor. We believe he would be tri- umphantly elected. What his private wishes are we have no means of knowing: but we hope that under the present cir cumstances he would oppose no obstacle to the free action of the convention. We say t1ls mucn because we believe that Mir. Harrison's nomination-if the con- vention see fit to make it-would be very satisfactory to the state, and because it is not improper to for a. Hartford newspa- per to say it.

ReductI on Of Railroad Fares and ln.
 crease of Receipts,

To the Editor QJ the C0urQnt:-
 It will be remembered that in June. 1872, the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company reduced it's high fares, on an average some twenty per cent.-or nearly half cent 8 mile. This reduction was doubtless made. in part, as slight concession to the reason able demands of the public, but more particularly to prevent the legislatures of New York and Connecticut from pass ing a bill pending before each of those bodies which would limit the fares on this road to two cents per mile.
 The directors of this company. in their last annual report just published, make no allusion to this reduction, nor to its results, which proyes-what the advocates of low fares have always claimed-that re- duced fares would yield increased reve- nue and reasonable dividends. To en- able your readers to see what these re suits were, you will confer favor by lay ing before them the following facts which may be found set forth in the several re- ports of the directors for the years 1871. 1872, and 1873.
 Passenger Receipts.
 For year ending Sept So 1873 red fares) s2 les For year ending Sept 3O 1871 (high fares) 16f Increase of revenue, notwithstanding red SPA. .se7
 A comparison of the receipts of 1873 with those of 1872, would fail to show the full effect of the reduction, for the req son that the fares for only eight months of that year were at the higher rates, and because the first few months of the re- duced rates would naturally result in a 6i. intuition of receipts. Still, such a com. parlson would not prove an unfavorable one as 1t would show an increase in the passenger fares of 1873 over those of 1S7: of S96, ,O18
 The reduced fares have yielded-as tn. directors admit-''net receipts, for the past year, S1, 726, ,8O2", and this after pay ing $28O, TAI tor nearly per cent. of tn, gross receipts) for the use ot some l: miles of railroad track owned chiefly b, one of the directors, Mir. Vanderbilt, anc after charging to the profit and loss S37. 900 for 2 slight financial irregularity These net earnings, the directors say make "a little more than Il per cent ol the ''S15, ,00O, 900 of the capital stock O the company." As less than SIP. O0O. .OOt of capital has been paid in, and as som. two millions of that were not in the legit innate business of the road, but loaned tt another company, the reduced fares hay. yielded net revenue of about IT pe cent on that part of the pald-in capita actually employed in the business of thu road. These large profits, it should b' borne in m1nd, have been realized not withstanding, as the directors say, Git hal

been deemed necessary, in order to meet the demands of the public, to put on sev- eral additional passenger trains. Gr
 The rates of fares charged by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad are still nearly 50 per cent. higher than those of inc New York Central or Hudson river roads, and material reduction is necessary to put them down to the rates charge by those companies. Tn view of the result of the experiment., as shown above, it certainly cannot be regarded as unreasonable for the public to demand that the fares be established, as on those roads, at two cents per mile.

GROWING CURRANTS.

The Tribune thinks, with the in
creasing popular attention to currans
culture, they will pay, on the aver
age, after the third year, as much
per acre as raspberries or straw
berries, oveFwhich they hare the J.
vantage OF not suffering because Of
rains at the time of ripening. In
'"sequence of the size of the fruit,
81 unusual demand has been created
for the Cherry and Versailles varie-
4ieS, and they are worthy; bus at
the same time il is to be said that
many of most experienced growers
IRE now fully convinced that with
equally goo 1 culture the old Red
Dutch will be found quite as profta-
bic, while in quality il is everywhere
admitted to be superior. For fam.
lily u @ the White Grape or White

with satisfaction but there is no
special demand forIthem in market,
