New York is one of the original thirteen States. Its area is 47,000 square miles, equal to 30,080,000

acres.

By the last census (1860) the population was ascertained to be 3,880,735—(4,000,000 in 1866)—which gives it thirty-one members of Congress.

It forms part of the second judicial circuit, which consists of New York, Vermont, Connecticut; and is divided into three judicial districts, the Northern, Southern and Eastern, (the Eastern was formed from the Southern, Feb. 26, 1865).

This State has a great length of sea, lake and river coast, and consequently has eleven ports of entry, viz.: New York, Sag Harbor, Hudson, Oswego, Niagara, Buffalo Creek, Oswegatchie, Dunkirk, Rouse's Point, Cape Vincent and Suspension Bridge; also fourteen ports of delivery; besides which the President is authorized to make eight or nine others if he deems it necessary to do so. The ports of delivery are at such places on the Hudson river, on the Long Island shores, and along the shores of the river St. Lawrence, lakes Ontario, Champlain and Erie, as the trade of these localities requires. Jersey City, in the State of New Jersey, is also attached to the collection district of New York.

This State is one of the original thirteen States, and has an area of 50,704 square miles, equal to 32,450,560 acres, with a population of 992,622, (one third colored,) which entitles her to seven members of Congress. North Carolina, by act of 1866, was located in the fourth judicial circuit, which is composed of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and is divided into three judicial districts, called the districts of Albemarle, Pamlico, and Cape Fear. The collection districts, and the ports of entry and delivery in this State, have been so often modified and discontinued, that there is some uncertainty as to the number at this time. We can only make an approximate statement. There are, as near as we can determine, ten districts, ten ports of entry, and nine ports of delivery.
