Resolued, That the intricate, complicated
and extortionate duties now imposed. demand
in. as they do an army ofsalaried officials, and
promoting widespread corruption IN ONCE,
call loudly for reform and sfmpll6cation.
RESOLVED, That the existence OF our national
debt, and the heavy taxes which 1t unaV0lda-
bly, necessitates, render it imperatively neces-
sary that no money shall be taken from the
people by government for the maintenance OF
any favored classes or individuals.
ResolUed, That we, therefore, denounce all
bountles or subsidies to any special interests,
whether given directly In pecunary payments,
or indirectly by so-called protective duties,
and we demand that taxes should be imposed
only for the support of government and to
provide for the national debt; that the tariff
should be adjusted solely with reference to
revenue, and so slmplifed that duties shall be
laid upon the smallest number Of articles from
which the needful income can be raised for
government.
RESOLVED, That the burdens of our present i'll
adjusted taxation are oppressive alike to all
sections Of the country; but as this city Is the
chief centre of exchanges for the products of
oil branches of American industry, and as oar
prosperity is, therefore, directly dependent
ubon the prosperity of the great productive In
terests of the. country, it Is incumbent upon the
citizens of New York to take leading part in
securing the reforms which are needed.

who have associated themselves to work for
revenue reform, under the name OF the Free
Trade League, have just claim to our thanks
for the success which has attended their efforts
during the past year.
RESOLVED, That as new Congress Is shortly
to be elected, it is imperative that the aglta-
ton for revenue reform should be continued,
and that the people should be so enlightened
that members OF Congress may be chosen
pledged to economy OF the public expenditures
to stern resistance of all government boun-
ties, subsidies and special legislation, and to o
revision and simpllfcation Of the tariff.
Resolved That to secure these essential re-
forms, we each of lis pledge our efforts and
our means; and that committee Otter be ap-
pointed by the chair to secure the cooperation
of all who desire to assist In this object.

THE COLUMBIA CANAL.
The bill to amend the act authorizing the
sale Of the Columbia Canal, empowering the pur-
chasers to widen and deepen the canal, provided
also that work upon it should be commenced be-
fore the 1st OF March. IN order to fulfil this pro-
vision Of the bill, Colonel pearce instructed Sena
tor W. R. Hoyt to commence operations today,
which was done with small gang Of workmen
near the foot of Senate street. The necessary
tools for widening and deepening the canal have

The Oneida Disaster.


Later and more favorable dispatches have
been received from the British authorities at Yo-
kohama in relation to the collision between the
steamers Bombay and Oneida. The details, how
ever are still meagre. Fifty.slx Of the officers
and crew OF the Oneida were subsequently picked
up by small boats OF the Bombay. 1t is thought
that others that were missing at the last accounts
would ultimately prove to have escaped. The
names OF the saved or lost have not yet been re-
celved, nor is 1t known precisely how many per-
sons were on board the Inflated vessel at the time
