West Fourth Street.
This is large and elegant octave
volume, neatly illustrated with
splendid steel portrait Of its author,
and eugravings Of his various homes,
including the one where he now lives.
The book is emphatically an autobi-
ography. Dir. Greeley designed to
makelt such, and seems to have sue
ceeded most capitally. He says OF it:
!. I shall never write anything else
into which / shall put SO much of n.y.
self-my experiences, my notions,
convictions and modes of thought. as
i contained in these Recollec-
tions." The autobiography is ap-
propriately named. If any life
in this country could be de-
signated as a busy life, surely that
one ID Mr. Greeley's. He has labored
early and late. His cafeer has been
. remarkable one, and in many par
ticulars be has set valuable example
to the youth Of the nation by,showing
them to what influence and Amuence
the poorest and most obscure may
attain BY life Of application and
issobriety. Mr.. Greeley has his pc
aSsliarities, many Of which are not
proper for imitation, but his earnest
and enthusiastic efforts to accomplish
whatever he undertakes is most com
ulendable. His lively reproduction
of the busy scenes of other days will
afford peculiar pleasure to all who
read his recollections.
The hook embraces views Of early
New England settlement, the author 5

We have frequently written in COM

The stories are all fresh and their moral
Is never obscure. In reading them
the hearts of the little ones are touch

to that which is noble and good.
Not only do they touch the hearts of
the young, but they have in them the
stimulert of thought and set the
brains OF the children at work. The
stories are adapted to youth of all
ages, and leave behind them impress
sions that are lasting for good. Mr..
Hoyt is public benefactor, and we
rejoice to know that he is meeting
with great success in his undertaking
to amuse, interest and elevate the
young people of our land. For any

Equally skillful with his pen and

The wonderful stories of Du Chail-

Young America. The travellers en-
counters with snakes, lions, tigers and
gorillas, to say nothing of the warlike
natives, and the remarkable skill and
courage displayed by him in the most
desperate emergencies are well calcu-
lated to rouse the enthusiasm and adj
miration Of American boys to high
point, if it does not result in an
invasion Of Africa by a younger
and even more daring brood of Du
Chaillus. The book will not want

tons would fire the curiosity of any
boy who has in him any of the spirit

HE NIw HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

There is already great excitement in New
to take place in that State on the 10th of next
month, and the people of the whole country
look with interest and anxiety to the result
It is the first election to be held in 1868. 1t
opens the momentous campaign for the presi-
dency. It's result will show whether or not
there is any rehux in that tide of public
opinion which now threatens to sweep the
Republican party from power, and to bring in
a triumphant Democracy. The interest which,
last season, was centered in Connecticut, as
the index State Of the year, is now transferred
to New Hampshire. This changeis in itself,
suggestive of a subsistence of Republican and
an augmentation of Democratic strength.
Last year New Hampshire was conceded to
the Republicans in advance. This year Con-
necticut is conceded to the Democrats. If
New Hampshire be now carried by the Demo-
Gratis, no apologies, no excuses, will suffice to
weaken the telling effects of the result on the
prospects of the Republicans and their antici-
pated candidate. 1t will prove that the popu-
lar instruction against congressional despot-
ism and against the whole scheme Of negro
supremacy and radical reconstruction, is in
cTeasing in intensity and that the name of
Grant has no power to charm away the resolves
Of public opinion. 1t is a good sign that the
Democrats of New Hampshire appear to be
not only hopeful, but confident, whilst the
Republicans are correspondingly depressed
Another augury of success is to be found in
the stern and unyielding character of the
New Hampshire Democracy. For years they
have suffered defeat, yet they have never
fallen into a state of subseryiency or despair.
They have fought every fight as if they ex-
pected to win victory, even although they
knew that they were doomed to defeat. By
this sturdy and persistent opposition to the
radicals, the New Hampshire Democracy have
preserved their integrity, and have even
gained steadily, if not rapidly, on their adver-
saries, ever since the first organization Of the
Republican party in 1856 Indeed, it is a re-
markable fact that the Republican vote was
larger at the presidential election Of 1856 than
it has been in any year since that time.
The loss of New Hampshire by the Repub-
licans next month will be disastrous to that
party and equally damaging to Grant That
officer has been nominated by the New
Hampshire radicals in order that they may
derive strength for the contest. from his
imagined popularity. 1t seems now that they
will gain nothing, but lose much, from this
alliance with name which is fast becoming
odious to the country. Grant is regarded as
the instrument of the radicals; and instru-
ments Of wrong are generally more thoroughly
detested than the principals themselves. In-
stead Of conquering the radicals, he has been
overcome by them. He is not their master,
but their servant The New Hampshire cleo
ton will show that his nomination is de-
lnsinn and a shann

SIGNIFICANT DECISIONS.

Our telegraphic news gives the results of
two cases before the Supreme Court, the de-
cisions in which, when construed together.
have an important political Specification. In
the Georgia case, the court states as its rea-
son for having, last year, declined to consider
the prayer to restrain Pope, Grant and others
from enforcing the reconstruction law, that
the question was political, relating to govern
ment and sovereignty, and, therefore beyond
the jurisdiction Of the federal judiciary.
The court is only authorized, according to
this opinion, to consider the constitutionalitv
Of acts Of Congress as they affect rights
Of person and property. But in the Texas
case, involving a question of property,
the court rejects the plea that Texas
under the reconstruction theory Of Con-
gress had forfeited its constitutional rights
as a State in the Union, and was not entitled
to appear in that character as a litigant This
is equivalent to deciding that Texas has its
constitutional rights as a State in the Union,
and that there is no constitutional warrant for
the assumption at the basis Of the recon-
struction acts that it occupies the relation to
the federal government Of territory or a
province. Such decision, viewed in connec-
ton with the opinion of the same court in the
Georgia case, comes as near as this court can
come to judicial declaration against the va
hdity of those acts in their political aspects
