The supreme judicial authority is vested in a court of appeals, composed of four judges elected hy the people for teu years, or until seventy years of age. The governor names one of them for chief justice. There are eight cireuit courts, each presided over hy a judge who is elected for fifteen years. In the city of Balti- more the circuit court is divided into a criminal court, a court of common pleas, and a superior court. Each of these courts is pre- sided over hy one judge, who is elected for fifteen years. The city of Baltimore, aud each county, elect three judges of the orphan's court, who hold office four years, and a register of wills holding office six years, etc. Prosecuting attorneys are elected in each county hy the people for four years.
Geology and Mineralogy .- A helt of primary formation forms the mountainous portion of the State, composed of gneiss, mica slate, clay slate, hornhlende, limestone, etc. The lower por- tion is a rich alluvial deposit. Coal of good quality is found in abundance in the western part of the State in two principal fields, one of which extends over an area of 400 square miles. Iron is everywhere abundant, and the bog-ore wrought on the Eastern Shore yields at an average from forty to fifty per cent. of metal. Sulphuret of copper, chrome and alum earths, grecn vitriol, and various fine marbles are among the other mineral products. In the Springfield mine traces of nickel and cohalt exist, and argen- tiferous galena is found in the Dolhy Hill mine. Cohalt exists on the Patapsco.
Climate and Soil .- The climate of the hill-country is healthy and agreeahle; hut along the coasts the heat in summer is some- times oppressive, and destructive fevers frequently prevail. The mean annual temperature at Baltimore is about 53deg. Fahren- heit. The soil is particularly fertile in the valleys hetween the mountain ranges of the west; but elsewhere it is of various qual- itica, and towards the coast is often sterile.
The Potomac, which divides the State from Virginia, and the Susquehanna, which falls into the innermost extremity of Chesa- peake Bay, are the only considerahle rivers. The canals and rail- ways are on a large scale.
Products, Commerce, and Manufactures .- The great staplo

product of Maryland is tobacco, and is grown almost exclusively on the west shore. Large quantities of excellent wheat, of a var- iety peculiar to this State, is raised, especially on the east shore. Indian corn is one of tho principal products. All the cereals, and wool, cotton, sweet potatoes, fruit, silk, etc., are largoly produced. The oystor trade of Maryland is ono great source of its wealth. The extent of its oyster-heds is about 373 square miles, and the annual value of tho trade about $10,000,000. Maryland is admir- ahly situated for foreign and internal commerce. Chesapeake Bay, admitting the largest craft, runs through the middle of the country, and the southwestern shore is washed by tho Potomac and Susquehanna Rivers.
Education, etc .- The school superintendent is elected by the hoard of Stato school commissioners, which board is appointed by the governor, and is called the Board of State School Commis- sioners. It examines county examinors and grants certificates. County boards are composed of three members appointed for two years hy the judges of the circuit courts. Counties with over 100 schools may have boards composed of five members. Boards of district school commissioners appoint teachers upon certificates of qualification issued from various sources. The school fund con- sists of an annual State school tax, and an accumulated fund from several sources, called the free school fund. Additional funds are raised by city and county taxation.
The decennial population of Maryland, by counties, from 1790, is as follows :

According to the last census the total population of Maryland was 780,894, of which 175,391 were colored, 33 Indians, and 2 Chinese.
Baltimore is the leading city of Maryland. Annapolis, the cap- ital, is situated farther up the bay. Tho National Naval Academy is located at Annapolis.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, named in honor of Chris- topher Columbus, is a tract of territory set apart for, and containing the seat of government of the United States. It is bounded on the southwest by the Potomac River, and on all sides by the State of Maryland, and is ten miles long from northwest to southeast, with an area of about sixty square miles. This Dis- trict was organized in pursuance of a clause in the constitution of 1789, which declares that Congress shall have power "to exercise exclusive legislation, in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square), as may by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, hecome the seat of the government of the United States;" and further, in pursuance of an Act of Congress, approved 16th July, 1790, which declared "that a district of territory, not exceeding ten miles square, to be located as hereafter directed, on the River Potomac, at some space between the mouths of the Eastern Branch and Conococheague, be, and the samo is herehy accepted, for the permanent seat of the government of the United States; and that the President be authorized to appoint three commissioners to survey, and by proper metes and bounds define and limit, a district of territory under the limitations above mentioned."
Originally the District of Columbia occupied a square of ten miles on both sides of Potomac River, and comprised portions of Virginia and Maryland, ceded to the United States for the use of the Federal government; but the retrocession of Alexandria county to Virginia, in 1846, reduced it to sixty square miles, or 35,400 acres. Maryland ceded her portion on the 23d of Decem- ber, 1788, and Virginia on the 3d of December, 1789. The Poto- mac traverses the District chiefly in a southeast direction, receiv-
ing in its way through it a tributary from the east, by its junction with which a peninsula is formed, on which the city of Washing- ton is built. At the confluence of the two rivers there is an excellent harhor and a navy-yard, to which ships of the largest tonnage may ascend. The yard covers a space of thirty-seven acres, and in it are made all the anchors, cables, and blocks required for the service of the United States navy.
The surface of the District is gently undulating, with some marshes. The soil is naturally thin, sandy, and sterile. The climate is healthy, and the mean temperature is about 55deg. Fahrenheit.
The District is under the direct control of Congress, and, until 1871, had no representative in the national council, and no vote for the President of the United States. Since that time, it has had regular territorial organization, with a governor, and a delegate to Congress. The judicial power is vested in one supreme court, composed of one chief, and threo associate justices; and an orphan's court, presided over hy one judge.
The decennial population of the District of Columbia, from 1800, is as follows :

According to the census of 1870, the total population of the District of Columbia was 131,700; of which 43,404 were colored, 15 Indians, and 3 Chinese.
Washington City, the political capital of the United States, is situated in the District of Columbia, on the north hank of the Potomac River. The site, if not chosen by Washington himself, seems to have been selected through his agency, and it was he who laid the corner-stone of the Capitol on the 18th of Septem- ber, 1793. It was first called "Federal City," but "the City of Washington" was afterwards fixed upon. Its ancient name was Conococheague, derived from a rapid stream which ran near the city, and which, in the Indian tongue, means Roaring Brook. It was incorporated on May 3, 1802. Georgetown, near Washing- ton, is a highly ancient city (1751), and has a population of about 12,000.
VIRGINIA.
[VIRGINIA, the oldest of the thirteen original States, lies between 36deg. 30min. and 40deg. 38min. north, and longi- tude 75deg. 10min. and 83deg. 43min .; and is bounded on the north hy Pennsylvania and Maryland; east, by Maryland and the Atlantic; south, by North Carolina and Tennessee; and west, by Kentucky and Ohio. It has an area, including West Virginia, of 61,352 square miles, or 39,265,280 acres. The Alleghany, Blue, and other mountains traverse this State from north to south in several parallel ranges, forming its center into a table-land, which, in some parts, rises to nearly 6,000 feet in height. The western portion of the State is also very mountainous. The extreme west- ern part is composed of a congeries of hills with alluvial bottoms; but the actual mountain ridges encroach so near the Ohio River, and the hills are in themselves so generally ahrupt and lofty, as to give an alpine appearance to the country. Among the natural curiosities are the Natural Bridge in Rockbridge county ; Weir's Cave in Augusta county; Blowing Cave, which sends out a blast of cold air in summer, and draws in air in winter; flowing and ebbing springs; and the Hawk's Nest, a pillar of rock 1,000 feet high.
History, Government, and Finances .- This State was named in honor of Elizabeth, the virgin queen of England. It was the first of the American colonies settled by the English. In 1606, James I. granted letters patent to two companies for planting colonies in America. One of the grants was made to Sir Thomas Gates, and called the First Colony of Virginia; and the other to Thomas Honham and others, which was named the Second Colony of Virginia. Each colony was governed by a council of thirteen persons appointed by the king, who governed according to royal instructions. Under this charter a settlement was made at James- town in 1607, by the First Colony, and was the first permanent one made by the English in America. Upon the petition of the company a new charter was granted by King James on the 23d of May, 1609, to the first or southern colony. The new charter granted to the company the lands extending from Cape or Point Comfort, at the mouth of the James River, 200 miles north and

VIRGINIA.
south, and up into the land from sca to sea. Under the new charter, Lord Delaware was appointed governor for life, and Sir Thomas Gates lieutenant-governor; Sir Georgo Somers, admiral ; Christopher Newport, vice-admiral; and Sir Thomas Dale, high- marshal, for the same period. Nine vessels with 500 colonists set sail immediately. Gates, Somers, and Newport went with the fleet, hut Lord Delaware was detained in England for some time hy his private affairs. Captain John Smith, who had heen at the head of affairs, turned the government over to the new comers on their arrival. His health failing, Lord Delaware returned to Eng- land, leaving Captain Percy as his deputy, who was soou super- seded hy Sir Thomas Dale, and the latter, August, 1611, hy Sir Thomas Gates. New settlements were commenced at Henrico, some distance above Jamestown, and at other points. In 1612 a large portion of the lands previously held and cultivated in com- mon hy the people of the first colony, was divided into three-acre lots and given to each individual, and shortly afterwards fifty acres were given to each of the colonists. In 1616, Dale, who had resumed the government at the departure of Gates, returned to England, and Captain Argall was appointed deputy-governor. He so harassed the colonists, that Lord Delaware sailed from England to resume his duties, hut died on the passage at the mouth of the hay which hears his name. George Yeardley suc- ceeded Delaware in 1619. During this year many new colonists were sent over. Ninety respectahle young womeu were sent out from England, and sold to the planters for 100 pounds of tobacco each ; also 100 convicts, to supply labor. A Dutch trading vessel brought twenty negroes to Jamestown, who were sold as slaves. Settlers continued to arrive, and new plantations were established for the cultivation of tobacco chiefly. In 1622 the Indians attacked the settlements and massacred many of the colonists; and the whole colony would have heen slaughtered, had not timely information of the conspiracy hcen given the inhabitants of James- town. Famine and sickness succeeded, which were alleviated hy the arrival of provisions from England, Reinforcements arriving, war was levied against the Indians, and in a short time most of the neighboring trihes were suhdned. Two years later, the com- pany was dissolved, and the charter resumed hy the king. All power was vested in commissioners, and under their rule the colony suffered grievously. Sir John Harvey, the royal governor appointed in 1629, was seized and sent home a prisoner. He was succeeded hy Sir William Berkeley, who called an assembly of hurgesses, and administered the government to the satisfaction of the people. In 1651 the plantation of Virginia was placed under the government of the Commonwealth of England.
