RIO JANEIRO, Dec, 16, 1874. As the Argentine rebellion has really coliapsed, | the Uruguayan one fizzled out and the Brazilian one in the North got into the spluttering condition ot an expiring candle, the religious or ecclesiasti- cal question here nas again resumed prominence, The government continues its half and half measares, upon which all Brazillian states- Mmen—out of office—look with disgust. Unde- terred by the egregious failure of its similar policy before, it biows hot and cold at once, pros- ecuting the governors of the bishoprica for not lifting the iterdicts, though their powers specially ioroid them doing so, and at the same time negotiating with fis Holiness for peace.

At this juncture it will not ve uninteresting to know how a priest of high attainments and one keeping apart irom bishop and government alike expiaius the purpose of the conflict now In prog- ress in Brazil.

The Chairman of the Washington Helghts | Association on the Cost of Public Improvements. TO THE EDITOR OP THE HERALD :— Having been s resident of Wasnington Heights for upwards of twenty years, and having been in- | terested tn and a close observer of all the improve- ments of the upper end of the city, | wish to state briefy what I believe to be the views of the prop- erty owners and taxpayers of this portion of Man- hattan Island on the question of boulevards, parks, public drives and rapid transit. The first and only thing we need at present is rapid transit, We want DO more money spent for boulevards, parks or public drives until rapid transit is an accom- plished fact, and we will give you our reasons why, Our boulevards, parks and public drives have cost as follows :— For Land, For Improvement. ‘he Boulevard '§3,600,00) 20,030 Hversive Park 5883-000 rnin i ps Seventh avenue: ara nt 1,141,000 N AVENUE ss... 432/36; 725'554 Meholas avenue. 984,554 78,63) Tenth avenue... = 4.877 Totals. 12,820,921 $6,190,051 Making @ grand total of $19,310,932. Now add to this the cost of the Central Park— about $12,000,000—and we have the enormous sum Of $31,310,982 mmvested in Morningside, Riverside, Central Park, the Boulevard and public drives, between Filty-ninth and 155th streets, isn’t that enough for the present? The interest of tois vast sum is nearly $2,500,000 a year, to say nothing of the amount of money necessary to keep these drives and parks in repair. Take the Boulevard, for instance, from Fifty-ninth to 165th street, As it stands it will, sooner or later, ruin most of the property owners along its line, for they have been assessed and taxed beyond what most of them bave been able to pay, and unless the Boulevard can be made of some use to the upper ead of the isiand it will eventually, sink a large proportion of the men who have been compelled to contribute largely toward tts construction, As a public drive it will not amount to much lor the next half cen- tury, unless there issome inducement offered to capitalists and property owners to build along its line, Rapid transit would at once offer induce- ments to invest in building. The Boulevard is about 104 feet wide becween curb and curb, and a space of about twenty-two feet, running directly through the middie, bas been set apart for orna- mental purposes, leaving in the ciear on either side about forty-one feet. Now, what objections cau there be to using this twenty-two feet in the centre ior the purpose of rapid transit? Commencing at Fiity-nintn street and laying @ double-wack suriace roud to 1looth | street, and tuen building an elevated road imme- | diately over the suriace road, the space being twenty-two feet wide, there would be ample room on either side of the lamps ior the suriace track without disturbing them, the elevated roau being built to such a height as not to interiere wich the jamps. Taking away ihe telegraph poles, tue telegraph wires couid be hung irom the tops of posts O1 the elevated road. Mayor Wickham has said in his message that “the question 0) speedy communication between the extremes O1 the city 18 forcing itseli upon pub- le attention, The schemes are many which have been suggested to accumplish this purpose, but the results have not been satisfactory. Charers bave been granted by the Legislatu e¢ conferring valuabie francoises, but for tuese no advantage to the citizens generally has resulted,” And why? | The Gilcert Elevated Kailroad Company obtained a charter, but it Is evident that this road will cost so much for its construction jor so great & distance that capitalists are —aoubi- jul of 1t8 being able to pay when compieted. ‘The Greenwich Street Elevated Ratiroad 18 con- sidered objectionable by property owners gener- ally. Now, the Gilbert Company or the Green- wich Street Company could be induced to finish their roads to Fiity-ninth street, the Legisiature shoald amend their charter and permit them to run up the Boulevard. The roaa wouid not cose more than one-third as much as it would by the IneLuod contempiated im their charter, ‘ihe con- struction Irom Kiity-ninth street to 155ta street and 80 On up, a8 the boulevard 13 extended to Kingsbridg: cross Kingsbridge, into tue iwenty-tulrd and Twenty-fourto Wards, coanect- | ing with Fourth avenue, would not cost, Jor the suriace and elevated roads, far irom $30,000 per mile, with all of their equipments, Ihe great ob- | stacie im the way Of rapid transit above Hity-ninty street has been 10 securing @ proper route and | grade to come within a reasonable cost, ‘Tne estimated cost of tne Gilbert road is about $1,000,000 per mHe, which Would tnvulve so large ab outiay to construct @ road irom the Battery to Kingsbridge that itis doubtiut if it couid ever | be accomplished; but if that road could be built to ‘Filty-ninth street and then contuunued up the Bouievard the cost would be su much less that it wouid be a great inducement lor capitaists apd property owners to invest mit. Now, cag there be any earthly ob- jection to utilizing this twenty-two feet, whici ts vf no use agit stands, to the purpose of rapid transit?

To THe EpiToR Or THE HERALD: As the Legislature is about to meet in a few | The consequence has been that Bass oans Vernon u was twelve years since, although borh places re the same distance fran Forty-second street. The commutation on the New Haven road would be still less were it not for the exorbitant tax or royaity paid to the Harlem road for running upon their track as far as the junction, The mean accommodation, high fare and slow time ol the Harlem have been the cause of the lower part of Westchester county nos vetug built up and improved as Jersey and Con- necticut have been, The Harlem road has been run solely tor the beneft of the Commodore, with- out the least regard for the interest of the city or Westchester county or the convenience of the people. The Legisiature within tue lst Ave years have given to the Commodore one-nali of Ninth avenue, for two blocks, to erect his depot upon; six blocks to fx up aud lay his rails upon; the balance of the avenue, to Harlem River, to use as he thinks most advantageous to his inter- est, without any regard whatever to the damage and injury sustained by tne property owners—a iranchise year that could not be purchaseed for $15,000,090; and, not satistied with that, he induced the Legistaiure to pass a law compelling the city io pay one-lalf of tne expense of building nis rouds—avout $5,000,000—without giving one do}- lar of consideration thereter. You cannot find in the history of this State or tn any of the Sta‘es of this Union so gro-y and flagrant un outrage upon the rights and praher ty of the citizens us has been consummated by thd ali-poweriul influence of the Commodore and his road. Would any honest Legisiuture have given to one man ail this without etting something tn resuro? Why did not the egisiature require him ts reduce his fare from the City Hall to Harlem to srx or seven cents, as ali the other roads running irom the City aap to Harlem have been required to do? Why give him suck a monopoly and allow nim to hoid the only approack to the city irom the East, and to per- mit hin to extort from every verson that travels over the Harlem Road, from the river to City Hall, nine cents more than etther of the city roads are allowed to charge. A proper juvestigation this winter by the Legislature will aisclose how this gyoss Iraud and wrong were perpetrated upon the people. Without rapid transit to Hariem River and cheap fare the upper part of the city cannot be improved and populated. Let the first act of our Legislature be to pass @ bill so that an elevated road can be built from tne City Hal! to Harlem by the most dircct route, ond that the road be con- structed by a commission of honest men and upon the bonds of the city and county, aud run for ihe benefit of the people, The large Dumoer of mechanics now out of work could be employed on this work this winter. They must be fed, How much better it would be to fur- nish employment for the lavoger than to provide soup bouses, By 80 doing you Would save num- bers from being demoralizea and prevent much crime and suffering. A. 0. SNEBLY, THE ICEMEN’S STRIKE. STRIKE OF FIVE THOUSAND MEN AND BOYS ON THE HUDSON RIVER—SPOILING OF A FINE ICE CROP THREATENED. CoxsaOKIR, Jan, 14, 1875, The strike of the icemen on the Hudson ts grad. ually assaming formidable dimensions, It com: menced with the men employed by the Knicker. bocker Company. That company own the follow. ing houses on the Hudson, and employ the number of men named in the-table:— Capacity, Number Place, Tons. fen. Barren Island. 1 Hamburg..... Ashons, Co: New. SHautinors Barryiown. Flatbush Rondout Creek. Rhinebeck. Rockland Lake Totals, The strike at this place has aspect, as rom 1s being brought into the question. Large banners are hung 1n front of saloons, with incenaiary inscriptions upon them. One inscrip- tton reads as follows:—Baltimore is on a strike for $1 75 and $2 per day, and wants Coxsackie to stand by her.’? That was telegraphed trom New Baltimore, four miles above here. Another in scription reads, ‘The first man who goes to work for $1 25 or $1 50 will get his neck broke.’’ Yesterday a man named Bennett, a countryman, went to work for the Knickerbocker Company, ying he would work tor apy price. Last nighta colored man named George Taylor, whom, it 13 alleged, was set up by white men, knocked him down. There was alsoa knockdown or two this morning, but beyond that up to dark to-night no disturbauce of @ serious nature has occurred, Yesterday avout one thousand men were at work on all the houses here. Last night, when the paymaster came around with the cnecks or ticke's, paying each man only §1 26 tor lis dav's work, all passed quietly off the ice. This morning the bosses endeavored to get them to work lor $1 50 per day, but they reinsed, paving neld a meeting in Case's Hall and resolving to work tor not less yp be 75 out of tne house and $2 in, ‘The ice ts the Gnest ever housed in tais viciniry, being twelve inches thick—pure water ice, At Catskill the Knickerbocker Company have two houses which employ 400 men. These men held @ meeting 10 the Opera House last night, and resolved to demand $1 75 per day out of the house and $2 per day in. At West Camp the Consumers’ Company have a 70,000 100 house and employ 300 mea, and the | Kuickerbocker Company employ 300 or 400 men. All struck this moraiag. They were receiving $1 25 perday. The bosses telegraphed to New York to the company, when word Was sent back for the men to finish their duy’s work and the company would see what could be done for them | to-morrow. Altogether there are five houses at Vest Camp, and all work will ve closed there to- a 226 meu at work and they are paying them $1 50 per day, and at that rate are getting more men than they want. Just north tue Newark Company have 200 men at work aud they are paying $1 50 per day also. At Rhinebeck the Knickerbocker Company's men ali struck to-day for $1 75 and $2, It is said men reached there from other points and drove | them off, At Port Ewen 200 men are at work, but they do not yet know what pay they will get. At Stautsburg the Mutual Company have sev enty-live men at work, but hone oi them yet know what pay they are to get. The company seem to be awaiting the action of tue Knickerbocker Com- pany relative to the strike. No men are yet work- Ing at Poughkeepsie, the ice there not being thick enough yet. Tiree hundred men have struck at Schodack and 300 at Stuyvesant jor $1 75 aud $2 per day, Arrangements are aiso in progress for a strike at the Van shenburgn House, just north of here, to-night. There ure 100 men at work there who wil demand $175 and $2 per day. They have been gevting $1 50 per day. ‘The men who work on the ice come from all sec- Uons of the river, and soine Come from away back in mountaio hamiets and villages. ‘They have to pay their own railroad tare to and from the ice felds and also their board away from home, and they claim that after they do that they have scarcely enough leftto keep their samilies hall- Way comlortavie. 1118 understoud that the ice companies are determined not to accede to the demand jor $1 75 and $2 per day, In fact it 18 said on good authority thut they have oe their bosses to set the men at work $1 50 per day or let the houses stand idie. There never was @ better, clearer or purer crop of ice days permit me to make afew remarks upon the | subject of rapid transit and of the importance | that something should ve done at once to accom- | modate tne active business men of our city, und to | | populate and build up the upper part of the city | and Westchester county. This can only be ac- | | complisned by rapid transit, good accommodations | | and cheap fare. Elevated roads should be nuilt | for the benefit and convenience of the bust | M@n ana mechanics of the city so that they could | provide themselves with comfortable homes. If | the convenience of the people, the welfare and | prosperity of the city require these roaas, then itis | equaliy important tat they should be owned and | controlled by the city 1ustead of being owned and | Tun for the benefit of a corporation, Tuey should | be run to accommodate the people and to increase the pepulation of the city and Westchester county, We are ten years at least behind tne age, Look across the river into New Jersey and see what rapid transit has done for | that Stave, The taxable property of Hua- | son county alone has since 1860 Increased trom $10,000,000 to $86,400,000, and most of the persons Who have settled there are doing business in New York, and would bave located iu tue upper part of | the city and Westcnester county had the same ta- cilities been provided. One reason for urging upon the peopie and city the importance of own. ing and controlling the road is i om comparing the New Haven with the Harlein road. The New Haven roud was built with Rastern capital, and ran for the benefit of Connecticut. That road has built up Stamford, New Haven and otuer pia east of Westchester county. The New Maven roud | furnishes good, comfortable cars, cheap fare and quick transit, Whereas the Hariem road jurnisies the worst ‘accommodation and cars inat | ron out of this or any other city in the | Chited States, charges the highest fare and | makes the siowest ine, The commutation of tae | New Haven road from Hast Mount Vernon to Now York i $70 per year, Whereas the Hariem road charges $96 trom West Mount Vernon, The New | | Maven runs the try ln Jorty minutes leas Wine, | are 8,200 men, than now, and every day's When 1, jelay in harvesting it ne harvest 18 in tui) blast there boys, 631 horses and 41 steam engines work.

The entire crop amounts to @ little over 2,000,000 tons, and it takes about three weeks’ time to get it ali snugiy packed in the honses, The men are paid off 6 tickets, which are good at any of the stores in the Hudsun River | Villages. It 18 esttinated that to-day there are 5,000 Inen and boys on strike. Eugene Conkiin, one o! the superintendents of the Knickerbocker Company, arrived here to- night, ana since his arrival it has been given out $ serious, that the company wii pay $1 74 per day ail around, but the nen wii not agree to that. A gentieman says the company telegraphed from New York to Mr. Ciapp, of Stuyvesant, ask- ing What he would board 100 men for, and he answered that the company hadp’; money enough u re nim to beard them, AL Athens this morning men fell inline with clubs and forced other tnen away from the ice- houses, One man, nam mper, Was badly beaten, Tata morning a met formed in line at Catskill, and, wich martial music, marched to Winen & Kemo’s tcenouse, the Rogers, Isiand and Hamlyn houses, ssopping ail work there. ‘Ban- ners and flags were carried by them, and about fity colored men were in the procession. Mr. Barmore, of the Knickerbocker Company, Is aiong the line to-day, holding conguitation with the bosses. It is believed that by to-morrow an arai- cable adjustment will ve effected, fhe ice companies are certainiy losing vaiuable time by the strike and much money.

AN AMERICAN SWINDLER SENTENCED. Attack on the American Mission in Latakia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Deo, 16, 1676, In the way of actualities there is nothing this week worthy of record, The minds of thinking men in the Cabinet and outof it are bent upen the future. By the financial measures which the Grand Vizier nas taken he has at least secured to the government a few months of respite from the fret and worry of duns, and the last great loan has sufictently olled the wheels of the gov- ernment machine to enable it to go on smoothly for some time tocome. A series of articles has lately been published in the leading paper of this city giving @ vivid picture of the actual fnanctal and economical position of the country and the complications that may arise from it in the future, In the absence of more stirring news it may not, perhaps, prove wholly uninteresting to your read. ers to have a few extracts from these articles, WHAT TUR PRESS SAYS. The public debt of Turkey, heid chiefly, as ay abroad, bas produced a very singular uate affairs. The interest on the debt amounts, in round numbers, to fifteen millions. We have net statistics to ascertain how much of this in! tte paid tn the country, but let us take the large over- estimate of five miliions. That leaves ten milk tons of gold to be sent abroad every year. The foreign trade of the country shows an’ excess ot imports over the exports; but, -to simplify our statement of the case, let it be assumed that the exports balance the imports. Then there is ten millions to be sent every year on ot the country in money. How ts that this export of gold has not drained the country of circulating medium and brought about @ monetary and commercial collapse long ago? The answer is, because there has been & new loan almost every year, Supposing, then, the goveruwent to succeed, with the assistance of the Bank, in Dalancing tts ipcome and expenditure 8 as to obviate the necessity of turther loans, WI would the situation be? Why, in two years the country would be drained of specie, and there would be a monetary el which would bring trade to a complete deadiock. Thus the situation may be summarized. as 10llows overnment continue to make loans jurope the government will become bi rupt. If the government cease to make loans the commerce of the county will become bankrupt. ‘Tnis is the dilemma with which 'Turk- ish statesmen have to deal. They must cease mak- ing loans in order to save the government from bankruptcy, and they must devise other measures tian borrowing in order to compensate the drain ol gold jor the service of the public debt, 80 a8 to prevent a general commercial bankruptcy. How 1s this drain to be compensated i the government bring revenue and expenditure to meet, as it must do unleas if be prepared to face the dificulty of & Suspension of payments? Tne drain being far in excess of the commercial profits of the country, how is the exnaustion which it threatens to be counteracted? It will sumce to- day to state in general terms where the remedy lies, reserving lor iuture study the details of tne work which has to ve done. in the first place, the situation suggests such a complete readjustment of taxation, direct ana tuairect, as may enable the country to make larger profits upon the com- modities which it aiready produces—such a read- justment us may tend also to animate and pro- ‘tect native industry, In the second place it sug- gests that the greatest possibie inducement should be hela ont to the multiplication of indus- tries, 80 that new sources of profit may be tapped and dormant wealth made active. But asa read justment uf taxation can scarcely be wrougn Without more or less disturbance of the revenu 1t would be necessary, while such readjustmen' was iu progress, to make @ provisional reduction of expenditure, such a8 might be accomplished by suppressing the extravagant rations allowed to the niger ciass ol public junctionaries and by re- ducing their salaries to @ scale approximating to that which in England, France, Germany aod the United States has been found suficieat to secure for the State the services of the most able men in the world. Of course, in a country like this, 1t is impossible for @ muzzled press to speak out plainly and ex- pose the suicidal policy adopted by the Turks as Tegards the development of national industries, But well woud it be for the country if its rulers could divest their minds of their own suficiency and allow themselves to profit by the advice and experience of the “strangers within their gates.” wf themselves they will do nothing, and lets for eigner but propose to open a mine or construct a railway, whieh, without a farthing of expense on its part, would bring tn revenue to tne State, and immediately the cry 1s raised, “Here is a stranger, a@ Giaour, Who wants 10 make money out of the country of the true believers, Put every obstacle in his wa; don’t do it openly, or we may ‘have some of the embassies down on us, Let him suppose that wae are anxious to facilitate bis schemé bus, ail the gaine, let him not touch the concession.” Indolence and jealousy are truly the besetting sins ofthe Turk. Asia Mimor might be the granary of Turkey, as it is the treasure house of her mineral wealth, but the door is securely locked, and the stupid old Turkish porter sits cross-legged without and smokes his chibouk, AN AMERICAN SWINDLER SENTENCED, The Turkish courts have passed sentence on Thomas Howe, the American swindler, who ate tempted to defraua the Imperial Ottoman Bank of £1,400, as already related. He has been condemned to three years’ imprisonment, the severest penalty prescribed vy Turkish law in cases where the pris, oner has made Jull confession of his guilt. The other three American forgers—Hulbut, Beecher and Maguire—sent up ftom Smyrna, are still in > the British Consular prison of t his place. THE AMERICAN MISSIONS’ PROPERTY, The accounts first received of the outrage come mitted by Turkish military on the American prop- erty near Latakia are, it would appear, in nowise eXuggerated. Depositions taken on oath by the United States Vice Consul of Latakia describe the conduct of the Turks as having been most brutal and unwarrantable. The premises of the Amert- can missionaries were violently invaded, houses piundered, books torn to pleces, women (native in converts) insuited, and many of the neces. saries of hie—wheat, oil, &c.—wantonly in stroyed. The Grand Vizier has hastened to disavow all Knowledge of the aflair and to throw the blame on his Provincial Governor; but it cannot be supposed that his subaiterra would have dared to take upon themselves the Yresponsibility of such an unwarrantable act if they had not felt pretty sure of being secretly commended in high quarters, There is no doubt that Irom the first the policy of Hussein Arpi has been ‘Turkey for the Tarks,”? and for them alone, and that he would glaaly elimimate from the Utto: man realm the Curistian and foreign element, With their embassies, their grievances, their un- gojicited advice and their innumerable schemes for the regeneration of Turkey, THE AMERICAN PROPERTY—IMPORTANT QUES- TIONS INVOLVED, {Latakia (Dec. 10) correspondence of Galignani’s Messenger.) Ihave received a jarge number of documents re- lating to the conduct of the Turkish military authorities at Bhaura, near this town. Most of the statements in the documents were taken on oath by the American Vice Consul of Latakia in presence of the dragoman of the English Con- sulate, The statements of Nusairlyeh sheikhs and Clristian converts ali agree as te the violence of the soldiers, in breaking doors of American houses, plundering Houses, Insulting women, tear- ing books and wantonly destroying wheat and oll and Other necessaries of lie, Two ques vous of importance bave been raised by th proceedings. 1.
