DISTRKT OF COLUMBIA. This District, contuinin<^ an area of sixty s((uare miles, was cededto tlie United States by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland,December 23, 1788. The District of Colnmbia was created by Con-gress July 16, 1790, the corner-stone of whicli was laid A)iril 15, 1*791.In December^ 1800, the seat of Government was transfeired to tinsDistrict, hence the establishment of the National Capital dates fromthat date. The District of Columbia was, ))rior to tlie act of Conf:;-ressapproved February 21, 1871, governed solely by Congress, and thepeople up to that tme had no political status whatever. Now, how-ever, the case is entirely changed ; the laws of the government are madeby the representatives of the people, and the elective franchise isenjoyed here as in other sections of the country. The papulation ofthe District, according to the last census, amounts to 131,097 inhabi-tants. The climate of the District, though changeable, is as ireefrom malaria as any other
