CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
What befel his.llehes--.Nat the least remarkable parr
9f his H4tory
As Scarcely anything relating to this.wonderful
man, when Wire, is without interest, so even that
which beret him after his death is not the least
curious or remarkable part of hia history. He
`died at Yalladolid, in 1596, and his funeral obse•
quies were celebrated with much pomp, and his
body deposited in the parochial church of
_Santa
Maria 'de la'Antigua, of, that city. In 1513;his
remains were transported to the Carthusian Mo
nastery of Las Cuevas, at Seville, in the chapel of
..,, St. Ann; or Santo Christ°, in which chapel were
l like : Wise: deposited those of his son Diego, who
died in thevilla. ° * of Mintalban,•on the 23d of
Febniary„ls26. In the year 1536, both bodies
were removed to Hispaniola; • ind interred in the
principal chapel of the Cathedral San 'Domingo.
Here they were permitted to remain undisturbed till
1795, when on the occasion of Hispaniola being
Iceded to France by the treaty, the Spanish autho
rities, wishing to pay all honors to, the memory
;?of that "worthy and adventurous general of the
Inas," the remains of the admiral were exhumed
and conveyed to the island of Cuba.
,On the 20th of December, 1795, the most dis
tinguished persons of San Domingo, the dignita
ries'of the Chdrch, and civil and military officers,
assembled lathe metropolitan cathedral. A small
vault was opened above the chanceh in the prin
.- cipal wall on the right side of •the high altar-
Within were found the fragments of a leaden cof
fin, a number or bones, and a quantit3r of mould,
evidently the remains of a human body. These
were carefully collected and put into a case of
gilded lead, secured -by an iron lock, the key of.
which WAS delivered to the archbishop. The case
was enclosed in a coffin covered with black velvet
l.and ornamented with lace and fringe of gold.
On, the following, day there was another grand
convocation at the:cathedral, when the vigils and
masses.for the dead, were solemnly chanted by
the archbishop, accompanied by the Command
ant 'General - of the Armada, the Dominican and
Franciscan friar!, und the friars of the Order of
-Mercy, together with the rest!of the diatinguished
assemblage. After this, a funeral sermon -was
reiched by the archbishop. At:four o'clock the
atria' afternoon, the coffin was transported to the
ship,with - ,the utmost state and ceremony, with a
civil, military, and, religious proceasion, banners
'n mdurning, chants and responses, and discharges
of artillery. The, most distinguished persons of
i he several orders took twits to support the coffin,
'which was received on. board of a brigantine called
he Dis Coverer, which, with all the other shipping.

From - Sad Domingo the coffrn was conveyed to
.rto tlie bay of Ocoa, and there transferred to the
hip of-. war San Lorenzo, which immediately
made sail and arrived at Havanna, in the island
.f Cuba,--on the 15th '-of TanuarY, 1796. Here
verything, was conducted with the same circum
fence and solemn ceremonial. The principal
uthorities repaired on board the ship, accompa

Ron. John G. Chapman, Representative in Con
gress from Maryland, has set on foot a project for
establishing Public Libraries in the several counties
of that State, to be accessible to the humblest citi
zen. Many important government documents, as
also the new explorations of science, could thus be
preserved and their statements more widely diffused.
In a letterto prominent individuals in each county
of his district, he says he would be happy to make
the first and continuous contributions, and if neces
sary at the next meeting of the General Assembly,
the association can obtain a legal existence. This is
certainly a project worthy of the earnest consider
ation of the citizens of Pennsylvania. The Com
mon School System in this state, is now its greatest
boast and glory. Eduoatior► has been brought with
in the reach of every person, whether poor or rich.
If Public Libraries were established in every town
ship, borough and ward, and ajudicious selection of
books made, it would be of incalculable importance
to the rising generation, and would be a great auxil
iary to our preient Common School System. In con
nection with the establishment of these Libraries,
during the winter season. Lectures might be de
livered on Literary and Scientific subjects, by per
sons competent far the task. This system has re
cently been introduced in the Sixth Ward School,
in this city, and the benefits resulting therefrom are
felt already. We should like to have the opinion of
others ew this subject, and will gladly open the
columns of our paper for such remarks as any of our
readers may see proper to make.
Liberian'Republic and Its Prospects.
Pre,sidebt Reber% 'besides getting the- indepen
dence of . Liberia ncknowlenged by England and
Finnee,and having commercial treaties formed, and
securing their naval aid to suppress the slave trade
at Ned' Ceasteni, obtained the assurance of the Rus
sian Minister in Leaden, that his Government would
follow their ezaraple. Mr. Roberts, in his letter of
December 6, (the day following which he was to
leave England in Her Majesty's ship Amazon; states
that he has not liven able to visit any of the German
States. At Bruseels, he found the Government so
engaged:as not to be able to pay much attention to
his business. In con elusion, the writer adds:
" I have every reason to believe, that my visit to I
Europe will result in great good to Africa getter:llo, I
and to Liberia in particular. I found much igno
rance here with regard to Liberia, and the opera
tions of the society, and many sincere good friend/
of the African race totally misinformed with respect
to the real object of the Colonization Society, and
in consequence prejudiced against it. During my
sojourn here I have conversed freely with many who
hitherto have been violent in their opposition to the
society; and think in many instances I
S have sac
ceeded in correcting their erroneous . impresaions."

voluminous document but ,qiiite Interesting
to those citizens of the T emnini:Mwealthi 'who 'study
the subject of State Financeirlic. We cannotoon
deinn the introductory remarks
.
• "The opetationson the Canals and Railroads of
the Commonwealth, for the'llecalyear ending No
vember 30, 1848, do not exhibit as favorable a result
as was anticipated-et the date of the last Annual
Report of the Board. The heavy repairs made du-,
ring the year, on the breaches caused by the dins
trona floods of October, November and December
last, and the re-building of the burnt Aqueduct
across the Allegheny ;fiver, near Fteeport, have
swelled -the expenditures beyond the estimates;
Whilst the interruption to navigation on the mainline,
produced by the destruction of the aqueduct, and
the long continued low water in the Ohio river, have
been the means of reducing the receipts below those
of 1847."
Total expenses for the year $1;087,394
Gross receipts •< " 1A53,344
Net receipts over a:ponies.
Pay of Canal Commissioners, Officers,
incidental expenses, &c 4,143
Net revenue of Canals and Railroads
for the year ending Dec. 30, 1 48.... 480,806
The gross receipts in 1848, fall short of those of
1847, $28,231 87.
_
From the published statement it will be perceived
that the cost of ordinary and extraordinary repairs
and breaches, amounts to $661,720 18, exceeding
the estimates of last year $223,860 16. This excess
of expenditure over the estimates,arose from the fact
that the floods of 1847 were more destructive than
was at first believed, that several breaches occurred
alter the estimates were made up, and from the im
possibility, in the short space of time allowed for
that purpose, to make an accurate calculation of the
.cost of placing the several injured lines in good na
vigable condition. The extraordinary repairsamount
ed to 8381,796 50. The whole of this sum it not,
however, justly chargeable to the current expenses
of the year. The greaterportion of the amount was
expended on the repairs of the breaches made by the
freshets of 1847.
The amount paid for repairing damages by floods
of 1847 is $326,545 37.
The table of toll, collected, if compared with those
of 1847, will show an increase on coal of $13,965 ;
on iron $24,595, and a decrease on. flour and grain
of $54,719.
On the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad there
are 41 locomotive engines, many of them old and of
small capacity, and the report will recommend the
sale of those of light capacity, and the purchase of
new ones, with all the modern improvements, and of
greater power, to supply their place.
The report will recommend the.construction of the
route to avoid thoSchoylkill Inclined Plane, propos
ep by Mr. W. Milner Roberts, and surveyed by him
under the act of last session.
The route commences about one mile from the
plane, runs down the east side of George's run, by
way of Harding's tavern, to the Permanent Bridge.
The cost of the route, if extended to Market end
Broad streets, including damages, is estimated at
(5361,000.
It is believed that the Schuylkill viaduct and the
road from the Plane to Broad street, could be mild for
$200,000.
The annual expeocre of the plane is ail per ceat.
on $450,000.
The tonnage transported over the Portage Railroad
is 368,019,418 lha.--an inmate over 1547, of 20,.
262,118 lbc.
The relayiog of the track, on this road with Trail.
will be recommended. •
It will also urge the completion of the reservoir on
the western rude of the Allegheny mountain.
The amount required for keeping all the lines in
order for the year 1849, for Moirte putter, pay of
Canal Commissioners, repairing breathes, Ste., tte..,
(after deducting $22,000, balance now in treasury,)
is estimated at $808,117.
The receipts for 1849 are estimated at $1,70.9,0410.
The report is able and lurid, and if it does not
shoe as lasoroblc a result of the operation• on our
irate Improvernouts as might hare been anticipated
prior to the fiscal year 1845 ; yet in view of the e%•
pence accruing from the disastrous floods of 18-47,
and the burning of the Freeport Aqueduct, the re
port :Words matter of congratulation that the 'nett
receipt from the Politic Works are no less, and
that the different bees are re as good conditional' at
present.
In reference to the Western Reservoir, the Com
missinners say
It is proper that the Board should again urge upon
the Legislature the propriety of completing the re
servoir titan 'the weiiterri •aute of th.e , AUreww3
mountain; A loge amount was expended tre the
wailing work, which is annually ailing assay. Ntv Quid of
its utility as a feeder, during the dry seinen of the
year, can now be entertained. During the period of
navigation Just elosed,the caldera memoir was toned
competent at ail times, to keep the levels op to their
full capacity, thus enabling boats tocarry their maxi
mum tonnage. It is due to the character of our
works, arida* the cheapnes of transportation, that
the feeder for the Western Division should be torn-
Weird and brought into use as goon as possible.
The fund for the repair of road and .fatal bridgei
is exhausted. It remaits for the Legidaturt to de
cide whether further appropriations shall he oxide
for these objects. If that body determines that the
repairs shall be made, ten thousand dollars will be
riga/red for the present year.

cratic Convention will be held in our city, fbr the
purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for
Canal Commissioner. The Democracy Should
.be
cautious in the selection of a suitable candidate for
the important trust—Canal Commissioner. As the
Democratic portion of the Board Wanda at present;
the north is better entitled to the e.andldate than any
other section of the State. The east Is represented .
by that sound man, Judge Longatreth; the Weil now
has that sterling Democrat- from the polar star s "
Major Painter. Then, to have equal.justice done all
parts of our Commonwealth, the candidate shouldef
right be taken from the gallant north, whiner UM .
"never desert or depart film the true principle's of
Democratic faith. Therefore, let union, - hmeeity,
concession, and love of the public good, 'be the
motto of every Democrat, and the State will be re;
deemed at the nest electior—for the Democracy
cannot be defeated by the machinations of sordid
Whig politicians. We should remember that there
is much good in friehdalfip; but much harm in die.
cord. lam glad to learn that the north will urge 1
the Claims-of A.J. Wilcox, Esq., the talented mem- I
bet. from Elk county. Hie 'nomination would, I feel
confident, be popular, and unite the whole ramiky of
Democracy throughout the State. His• election to
the Legislature &am the district he so ably -repre
sents, is the 'best guarantee of his Sound principles
of Democratic truth. It is of right conceded that
the candidate will be from the north, mid there could :
_ _
be,no better man than the gentleman named,
- Far the Morning Post
Canal Comirnlasioner. • •
As the Eastern and Western portions of Pennsyl
vania are now represented jri the Board of Canal
Commissioners by gentlemen : of IcknoWledged in
tegrity and ability, and who are Demearatagioodnad
true, I think the .t Northern Hive): in:fully entitled
to a representative in that. Board; When thi , present
Whig member shall retire.'" With this view,4 would
respectfully suggest to the Democrats of Pennsy.lva
nia the name of GORDON 'F. MASON, the present
Senator from Bradford and Tioga:
Mr. Mason is a gentleman - of respectable talents,
and having been a 'number of years in public life, he,
has all the knowledge of, and acquaintance with the
affairs of our State government, as would render him
at once a valuable and efficient member of the Canal

Aikerea Deriteea es. T. B. Young et al.
This wag an salon of ejectment, for that valuable
tot of gr ound, on the comer of Liberty and Hand
streets, in this city.
The lot in question, WWI a part of old Fort Fay
ette ;= irtrich;- afteir- tire , .prothaasstion- or 4nitsee
, lhls, was sold by the Goseintnent is parcel., to dir
fireut porchasers.
The derindants objected in the first instance to
plaintiffs' title, that there was no title shown in the
United States, and no authority from Congress shown
in President Mattison to make a deed. t
'Plaintiffs replied, by showing military possession,
which defendants said was no more eildence of title,
than the military occupancy of Mexico, before a
cersion of Califorma and New Pitetico, by the treaty
of Guadaloupe Hidalgo.
The Court, wits some hesitation, admitted the
deed.
Daferadants then showed it parol agreement by
plaintiffs , ancestor, to make a perpetual lease at au
annual ground rent of titl ; but that he died before
he could execute the deed ; accompanied by a pos
session of thirty-two years, and prompt payment of
rent. A part of the testimony bad been perpetua,
ted ; and but for this, and the discovery of some old
scraps of papers in a garret; the witnesses being all
dead but one, the defendants would have heen driven
to the wall.
Yesterday, the cause was argued to the jury by
Mr. Geo. P. Hamilton, for 'plaintiffs ; and by Mr.
Loomis and Mr. M'Candless for the defendants.
Much interest is manifested in the cause, as the
v lot is now valued at $lO,OOO.
Loon OUT—APPI4CANTS FOR THE POST OFFICE.—
John D. Davis %vat called as a witness in the case of
Atkins v*. Young, to prove the military occupancy
by the United States troops, of the lot in question,
as early as 1796.
In his speech yesterday, Col. M'Candleas compli_
mented the witness highly, sayieg that the exalted
patriotism which had always characterized the pub
lic conduct of that estimable gentleman, derived its
first impulse from the tap of the drum at Fort Fay.
ettc—that when that patriotism becarrie ripened by
manhood, it impelled him to the standard of his
country at Fort Meta and Massiesinnowa, under the
gallant Harrison.
Look Out, boys—the tap of the drum will have
omnipotent influence with Old Zack.
The case of School Directors of Fourth Ward vs.
Henry M'Cullough. •
This was an action growing out of the difficulty
in relation to the new School House of the Fourth -
Ward. It appears the defendant bought the site of
the old house, for which he agreed to give $6,000;
but afterwards was advised that the Directors had no
right to sell, and could not, therefore, make a good
title. This was the questfon ; Mr. W. was willing
to adhere to his bargain, but wanted an undisputed
title.
For School Directors. Messrs.,C. B. M. Smith and
Shaler ; for Defbndant, Mr. Wands.
