Car son City has superseded Virginia City as the capital of Nevada, and Charles ton has superseded Wheeling as the capital of West Virginia. For a con siderable time it was the custom in New Knglund, such were the rivalries between some old established cities, for even the smallest states to maintain two capitals, and the sessions of the legislature were held In them alternate ly. Connecticut, small in area, had two capitals Hurtford-and New Haven, and Rhode Island, still smaller, had five capitals at one time. Now Hartford . the only capital of Connecticut, but Rhode Island adheres to two. Some of the new states have not retained the capitals they bail when territories. The capital of Dakota as u territory was Yangton, which Is jiow the second largest city in South Dakota, but not the capltul. Pierre, a" smaller place, having superseded it. - Blsinuick is the capital of North Dakota. New York stute hus had some experi ence In capitals. The seat of govern ment 'during the colonial period was the city of New York. The legislature held Its sessions at the fort on the Battery during the early portion of the period, and subsequently met fit the City Hall. Occassionally sessions were held at Ja maica. Ntnv York was nominally tho capital during the Revolution, but the occupancy of the city by the royal troops compelled the legislature to meet at Poughkeepsle, Kingston and Albany. After the evacuation, sessions of the legislature were held at these places or in New York. The legislature hus met continuously In Albany since 17S. What fixes with greater permanence than anything else the retention at a certain place of a capital is the estab lishment of capital buildings, entailing usuallly very large expense and appeal ing to the aesthetic laste of some of the inhabitants and to the pecuniary recol lection or a still larger number of per sons by reason of the fact that theso buildings are usually constructed from the proceeds of tuxutlou, and those who contribute any share of this are ready to oppose any Innovation in the way of a new capital.
