There it was on April 16, 1789, that the ifrst congress convened and the two houses, after completing their organization by electing John Langdon of New Hampshire as temporary president pres-ident of the senate and Frederick A. Muhlenberg Muhlen-berg of Pennsylvania as speaker of the house, met In joint session to count the electoral votes cast In the several states a few weeks before and to proclaim officially the election of George Washington as President and John Adams as Vice President. On July 9, 1790, congress passed an act for establishing a permanent seat of the federal government and this act provided for the selection selec-tion by the President of "a district of territory, ten miles square, somewhere on the Potomac river, in the region beginning at the mouth, of the eastern branch or Anacostia river and extending ex-tending many miles to the northwest The President Pres-ident was authorized to appoint three commissioners commis-sioners to "survey, define and limit" the dis trict selected and, prior to December, 1800, they were required to provide in this district "suitable "suit-able buildings for the accommodation of congress con-gress and of the President, and for the public offices of the government of the United States." For the purpose of defraying the expenses of the purchase of the land and the erection of the buildings, the President was "authorized and requested to accept grants of money." It was further provided that on the first Monday of December, 1790, the seat of government should be removed from New York to Philadelphia, where It was to remain until December, 1800, when It was to be transferred to the new Potomac Po-tomac district In accordance with this act President Washington Wash-ington In 1791 chose one county In Maryland and one In Virginia, with the Potomac river flowing between, for the site of the new National Na-tional Capital which was to be known as the District of Columbia. At first this district was ten miles square or one hundred square miles and contained 64,000 acroes of land, which was ceded to the federal government by the two states of Virginia and Maryland. But In 1846 all the land on the western side of the Potomac was ceded back to Virginia and as a result the District of Columbia since that time contains only 64 square miles. As commissioners to "survey, define and limit" lim-it" the district and to erect the "suitable buildings," build-ings," Washington named Gen. Thomas Johnson, John-son, who had been his Intimate friend daring the Revolution, Dr. David Stuart of Virginia and Daniel Carroll, a member of that illustrious Maryland family. The commissioners decided that the federal city should be named the "City of Washington" in honor of the first President and the plan of the city was to be made by Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant the young French engineer and architect who had reconstructed the buildings In New York and Philadelphia used by congress. In March, 1792, the commissioners advertised In the newspapers of Philadelphia, Boston and New Tork that they would give a lot In the city of Washington and $500 to the person who should "produce to them the most approved plan for a capltol to be erected in the city of Washington." Sixteen plans were submitted In response to these advertisements but all were rejected because they did not meet the requirements. require-ments. Then Stephen Hallate, a French architect archi-tect of New Tork, submitted a plan which met with great favor and It seemed that he was about to be awarded the woric But In the meantime William Thornton, a talented tal-ented Englishman living in New Tork, who had a powerful friend In the person of Thomas Jefferson, then secretary of state, drew up an elaborate plan for the Capitol and submitted It to Jefferson, who laid It before Washington I It, .

Tie wrote to the commissioners, requesting them to adopt Thornton's plan in preference to Hallate's, but charged them to do it "with delicacy." Im mediately the commissioners Informed Hallate of the change and upon his examination of Thornton's plan, the Frenchman declared that Thornton had stolen the Idea from his (Hal late's) original designs. The result was an acrimonious dispute between be-tween the two men which lasted, for several months but In, the end the commissioners accepted ac-cepted Thornton's plan and awarded him the first premium. As a sort of consolation prize, they gave Hallate a premium of $250 and ap pointed him as one of the architects of the Cap itol with an annual salary of $2,000. As supervising architect for the Capitol a tal ented young Irishman named James Hoban whose plan for the "President's house" had al ready been accepted, was appointed and it was decided to construct the Capitol of Virginia sandstone, instead or Drick as was first pro posed, and the stone was obtained from a quar ry on Aqula creek. On September 18, 1793, the cornerstone of the Capltol was laid and from that time on the work of construction was car ried on energetically. . In the meantime congress was meeting In Philadelphia and had made an appropriation of $46,923 "for the necessary expense of the removal" of the government to Washington. In June, 1S00, all the records, papers, office furniture, furni-ture, etc., of the various federal departments were loaded on packet sloops at Philadelphia and despatched for the new city on the banks of the Potomac The officials and clerks, num berlng In all not more than two hundred, went to Washington in lumbering stage coaches, ar riving after a long, tiring Journey of nearly a week. Mrs. Adams, the wife of the Vice President has left us a record of her adventures on that trip. She says : "After leaving Baltimore we wandered about for two hoars without finding a guide or a path. Woods are all yon can see from the time you leave Baltimore until you reach the city, which Is so only In name. Here and there Is a small hut without a glass win dow, interspersed among the forests, through which you travel for miles without seeing a human being." After enjoying the luxury of life In New Tork and Philadelphia most of the government offi cials looked with dismay upon this "wilderness city set in a mudhole almost equal to the great Serbonian bog," as one of them described the new Capital. It was In such an environment as this that the Sixth congress began its second session on November 17, 1800, the first session held In the new Capital. The north wing of the Capitol, In which the session was held, was In a very In complete condition, and both houses were crowded Into narrow, badly arranged quarters. On the opening day President John Adams appeared before a Joint session of the two bouses and made the following Impressive address: ad-dress: "I congratulate the people of the United States on the assembling of congress at the permanent seat of their government; and I con gratulate you, gentlemen, on the prospect of residence not to be changed. Although there is cause to apprehend that accommodations are not now so complete as might be wished, yei there is great reason to believe that this Incon venlence will cease with the present lesslon.

Al though the Federalists had a small majority In congress, it was evident that the political con trol of the country which they had had since constitutional government went Into effect was fast slipping away from them. Adams' rigor ous enforcement of the alien and sedition laws had driven many foreign-born citizens Into the rising Democratic-Republican party. Then, too, there were other causes for bitterness which marked the doom of the once all-powerful Federalists, Fed-eralists, who had been In control of the govern ment of the new nation continuously for eleven years. The Presidential campaign of 1800 was an exciting one with John Adams as the Federal ist candidate for re-election, running with Charles Cotesworth PInckney as Vice President Opposed to them on the Democratic-Republican ticket was Thomas Jefferson (then Vice President) Pres-ident) for President and Aaron Burr for Vice President. The election resulted in a victory for the Democratic-Republicans, who received 72 electoral elec-toral votes to the Federalists' 65. The Constitution Consti-tution at that time provided for each Presiden tial elector to vote for two persons without designating which was to be President and which to be Vice President. The person receiving re-ceiving the highest number of votes was to be President and the next highest Vice President (By an amendment to the Constitution In 1804, the electors are now required to vote separate ly for President and Vice President) wnen tne electoral votes were cast It was found that the crafty political manipulation of Aaron Burr had resulted in a tie vote for him self and Jefferson, both being higher than the vote for Adams. So the election was thrown into the house of representatives. Amid the greatest excitement the house began to ballot for a President on February 11, 1801. There were 100 members from IB states and each state had one' vote with the majority of the states neces sary for a choice. The house sat with closed doors and balloting went on continuously day and night ' On the first ballot eight states voted for Jef- How About Overtalk? rerson ana six ror tiurr. a wo states, Vermont OversleeD is as harmful as over -a -t t i a . . a . - . .1 . anu juaryianu, were umaeu ana couio not cast work, a lecturer on health tells us. vote, iiauot arter Daiiot was taKen with no But he might have added, deaths change In the result Finally on February 17 from either have been very rare a break came and Jefferson was elected Pres-1 01 late.
