73. The District of Columbia. — Congress can make laws for the District of Columbia. In 1788 Maryland ceded to the Federal Government a tract of land lying east of the Potomac, and in 1789 Virginia ceded another tract west of the Potomac. These two tracts made up the District of Columbia, ten miles square. The latter part was retroceded to Virginia in 1846, leaving the area of the District as it is at prese
...nt, about sixty-four square miles. In the District of Columbia the government is carried on under Congress. This government is in marked contrast with that existing generally in the States. With the exception of a brief period, the District has always been governed directly by Congress; and thus the people have been subject to a legis- lative body which they had no part in creating. The ex- ception refers to the period between 1871 and 1874, when there existed a territorial government, consisting of a gov- ernor, a secretary, a council or upper legislative house, a board of health, and a board of public works, appointed by the President.
