The taxes id under protest, platntiff claiming that Alexandria county isin th: District of Golam bia. and the law retroceding such territo: ‘ational and void. ir. Burke, Cs menwealib’s Attorrey for Alexandria count filed a demurrer and insue was joined on t Gemorrer. The plaintiff first considers the h tory of the establishment of the seat of govern ment referring to the first proposition—offere: by Chas.

The lecation of the Dis- trict was the subject of loag and angry contro. Versies, and threa’s were made of a dissolation of the union in consequence.

Tne validity and constitutionality of the retrocession act of “46 is discussed. Keferring to the lan- guage of the act, the y @ply power given to Congress was to acceh! sash @istrict. No express power can be found to re- establish the seat of government, or to recede, | OF relinquish the jurisdiction imposed upon | Corgress in relation to it.
