E., in the block adjoining the Library of Congress, a building, known as the "Old Brick Capitol, because at a critical period in our history it housed the government of the United States. But now it is no more. It has been torn down so that upon Its site may be erected the stately new borne of the national judiciary. The Old Brick Capitol came into being as the result of one of the greatest catastrophes which ever befell the republic the burning of the Capitol and other government buildings in Washington by the British during the War of 1812. As we look back upon It now, it seems strange. that our government should have been so apathetic and the citizens of Washington so Indifferent to danger as they were in August, 1814, when a British fleet sailed into Chesapeake bay and anchored off Fort McHenry. If they gave the matter any thought at all, it was that New York or Baltimore might be attacked, but it seemed to occur to no one that the National Capital was in any serious danger. For one thing, they counted on Fort McHenry to keep the invaders from coming up the bay, nnd if the enemy idiould attempt a naval attack on Washington by way of the Potomac river, they seemed to believe that the antiquated cannon placed at several points below the city would hold them off. It was no tribute to the intelligence of the British leaders to believe this and, as might have been expected, the enemy did exactly what no one seems to have thought they would do. They launched a land attack from the other direction and so swift were their movements and so inadequate the preparations by the Americans for guarding against such an emergency that the red coats were almost upon the city before they were discovered. Then there was a great scurrying around and General Winder hastily assembled a force of some 6,000 men to halt the invaders. Five hundred of his men were sailors but the remainder were raw and undisciplined militia, and It was with this force that he faced an army of 5,000 British, mostly sailors and marines, under Admiral Cockburn and General Boss at Americans to this day remember with shame the Bladensburg races, as the newspapers of the day called the rout which followed. For although the 500 American sailors made a brave stand, the militia ran and President Madison, who was with the treops, was swept along with them In their panicky flight. In the meantime Dolly Madison, the wife of the Iresident, was proving herself a heroine. When news of the Bladensburg disaster reached Washington, most of the government officials nnd hundreds of citizens fled Incontinently with no thought of trying to snve anything from the invaders. But Dolly seized the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and other priceless documents, loaded them and other valuables of the government in a farm wagon and took them across the Potomac into Virginia, where she was later joined by the President, who was forced to hide ut In the woods as the enemy inarched into the Capital. - -- , jscnm The British made a triumphal entry of it on August 24. Entering the Executive Mansion, the British officers, according to their own account, drank the British king's health in the American Presidents wine and then set fire to the building. Next they visited the Capitol and Admiral Cockburn took his seat in the chair of the speaker of the house of representatives. Springing to his feet, he shouted, "Shall this harbor of Yankee Democracy be burned? All for it will say Aye! Shouts of "Aye! Aye filled the room and a few minutes later the torch was applied. Next they destroyed the treasury building, set fire to other government structures, and when they departed they left behind them a city virtually in ashes. Washington, with its smoking ruins, was in a critical situation. Many members of congress had never been fully reconciled to moving the National Capital from Philadelphia to this backwoods village, and after the scattered legislators had reassembled, a movement was started to abandon Washington and reestablish the seat of government in Philadelphia. Then a group of leading Washington citizens got busy. They determined to provide, at their own expense, a suitable meeting place when the new congress convened. It was this structure which for the next four years housed the government of the United States. President James Monroe took the oath of office on a platform erected on the north side of the building, the first outdoor Inauguration ceremonies since Washingtons In New York, and the one which established the precedent for the Induction into office of later Presidents. But even more important during the four eventful years of the Old Brick Capitols early history were the acts of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth congresses which met in it. They granted a charter for 20 years to that bank of the United States against which Andrew Jackson waged his famous fight. They appropriated a million a year for eight years for naval construction. They authorized the President to engage John Trumbull to make bis four big paintings for the new Capitol that was to be. They granted to Itevolnt ionary veterans pensions of $20 a month to officers nnd $8 to privates, on proof of need. They enacted, on April 4, 1818, the law adopting Capt. Samuel Chester Iteids design for the national flag. They ratified the treaty with Great Britain for the restriction of naval forces on the Great Lakes. They authorized the President to take possession of East and West Florida. They admitted Mississippi. Iudiuna and Illinois into the Union; made organized territories of Alabama and Arkansas and authorized Alubama'to take steps for statehood. Perhaps most Important of all was the long debate over the request of ations as shearing, castrating and docking, says Dr. W. A. Billings, extension veterinarian, University farm, St. Paul.
