LETTER FROM A LAYMAN.

METHODIST SENTIMENT. Charles Nordoff Takes a Tilt at the Third Term Bishop. HOT FOR HAVEN. a rrrmxn CITICISM ON BISHOP HAVKN FROM A METHODIST POINT OF VI KW MANY MISSTATEMENTS POINTED CUV THE SITUATION AT THK SOUTH. Mr. Charles Ko:d iff. who has recently traveled through the So ath, takaa up bis pen as a Method si lajman, au J ably answers Bishop Haen. Following la his litter, as published la tbe New York ilerald: Bsüop Haven's latest notion seems to be tta; God is himself a tUird tenner, and that He slew the ioe pres dVnt beo-iu-e poor Mr. Wili-oa did not agree with BUbop ilaven. As the Methodist people of whom I am one Jo not lelieve in bum .in it.fillibilUy, they will probably Utile atTested by Mr. Haven's assertions t.t this kind. 1 here is no leison to believe that he k news any more atxiui God's wishes and purpo-e than the most obscure layman. But wnat a bishop says Is not naturally supposed by the public to represent, more or less aseurately, the general opinion of the sect of which he 13 a spiritual head. Some of bis recent utUrauces would, were they really approved by the bedy of Metoodists, mke these Justly odious; and, fcg tbey are not so approved, it seems only right to explain why what he says and does can not fairly be charged upon the denomination ot ComiUns te in such cases misrepresents. In the firt place, the Methodist biobops are-not, In general, politicians or persons who concern theixselves in political questioLS They were probably, without exception, shocked at Bishop IIa veu'a third term utteiaocc-s, though I douot if any of them were surprised. lie is known as a man ot tjreat zeI nd energy and of respectable ability, extremely lacking in judgment and a lover of notoriety, and It is probably not un'a'r to him to say that his most cherished possessions are bis prejudices. lie is so ENTIRELY WANTING IN MODERATION and a faith in qultt and peaceful ways which I believe a man in bis position ought to pcscs8, aDd so gHally lacking in the spirit of love toward a 1 human creatures, which certainly a Christian clergyman ounht to have, that he imaeines laws and brote force back of the n can remedy all evils and externste aU wrong. Amore the orjects of bis bigoted detestation and tear the more firominent, I suppose, are the nomaa catcoic Church and the Southern white people, His desire to lenomiDate General Orant is no new thine. More than a year ago, and alter his return from Mexico, about which country be was then issuii g what proved to be In the general opinion a very offensive book, be surprised me with the declaration that 'we must have that eountrv." boldinc a map of Mexico be fore me, and when I replied that it could not be Grot without a war. be said, "We mut have it; it belongs to us; our people want it; what do you thick ot Grant and Mexico as a Dlatfortn iu 1S76? Don't vou eupp .I-. ... . 1 .4 n jw n (Ha fötintfo?" lila V WUU1U dwotji ivuvij I wes a little shocked that anv clerevman. even Bishop Haven should deliberately propose a scheme of Dublic robbery, but he exclaimed, "You'll see that I am rUbt; you ae all wrong about this matter. You are opposed to a third term, 1 bear; you don't like General Grant; you doa t know anything aooui it; you're aa wrong as you can be.7' That such a man could have much influence among the Methodist laity would argue that they had verv little seDse. In iact be has none, ex cspt where he appeals to their humanity by MISREPRESENTING THE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH. Bishop Haven lives In Atlanta. lie was sent to the South some jcars ago with the object of reviving there the Northern Methodist church, and with the hope, cherished by most Northern Methodists, that the church South, which parted from lb northern branch mny years ago, by reao of differences on the slavery question, cnu'.d. now that slavery was extinguished, be per suaded to reunite with the church North To this end manv of tb.9 wheat members ot tfeo Northern church have labored, believing that they could thus, by obliterating an old division in a numerous sect, help to strengthen the bond ol brother hoed between the sections, or at 1 a remove what seem a to be a source of irritation. Bishop Haven, to whom, if to any one, was com mitted tbe tank t reeoucilioUon, has in fact, as I found when I waOn tfcerSouth last sum mer, done a kcreat ceil to widen the breach. He is detestfd all over the South for public expie-sior 8 in favor of an amalgamation of the negro and white ra e and 1 became satisfied he has done a good deal to keep up and even embitter wi erever he labored, not only race prejudice, but the feelings naturally renaming from the war. When be comes to the North he industriously spreads tales of the "dislojalt" of the Southern whites and of the wrongs suffered by the "poor negroes" a id of the danger of their future. Io fact, im talks of the Scutb precisely like the average political carpet bagger, and the final clause of his argument, like that ot the POLITICAL CARPET-BAGGER is always, "We must re-e'ect Gen. Grant to keep down the rebels and protect the negroes." These appeda he makes in the face of the laoi, a well known to him as it is to me, that in Owril, in whici s ate he lives, and which his beon, sines 1371, iu the bands or the democrat, the negroes own and pay taxes to-day on more fariniog real state, more city and town property, and more personal property than in amy other of the cotton states, au or which a nave bten under republican rnle, so called. They paid taxes ibis year on over $7.000 030 of property, and their own republican organ at Atlanta has repeatedly ecct. sod them of being the most wasteful od tnriitleg, and of drinking and emokicg away more of tteir earnings than would educa o all their children. 1 do not mean tossy that Georgia. Jsao Eden there axe some tools, and ho me rougl, violent rren In that ststa but I have the word of United States otheer, strong republicans, that there ia no political crime to that state; I have the word of Northern missionaries laboring entirely among the colored paople, that the period ot violence is past, and that public opinion, even in Ibe backwoods couctif s, !s now against it; and wherein any talks with colored people I found dissoment it wan almost always be- ' cause they do not in Georgia, as in Mississippi under the Ames rule, arm in Louisiana nnder Kello , bold the offices and live on the taxes. Finally, not only have the negroes prone ced more la democratic Georgia than in republican Mississippi, Arkansas or Lru s:au, but they understand pitectly, and l ave a sorted for yars the right of removal to o tor states. Twentyfive thousand l tteru have left Georgia, and the p!a-tet3 a e not anxious to lose any more. Thousnl of them lave gine to Miss'gjlppf J a 8'Ve where, to teliova the Atccs meo tyo ue.roV life is sate. Other ttojsands of them went to Arkansas at the very time when, according to common report, negro mtMeacres were held there daily before breakfast. IT IS EAST TO MAKE A LIST OP CRIMES la any Southern state, as easy as in aDy

Northern state. Certainly there is no more lawl-wsnena in Georgia, which Is still essen tially a fruitier state, than in Pennsylvania. I give thii denial of Bishop Haveu's report, because the Northern people are, as I think rightly, very easily moved by tales ot wrongs to the Southern b acks. I should myself resent very quickly any systematic wrong to thoe people, and would Buppor. the most severe and peremptory me isuies if these were necessary tor their protection. But there is no such wrondown there. Color and race pnju-

die 3t still obtain, and tbey are more intense m Georgia man in some other tta ew, partly, at least, because of the care with wb:ch B shop Haven has stirred them up. He piouutmi to eit in judgment upon the late vice pre-'dent, sua ueeiare thai ne was struck down by God because he would not support the lorce bill. I, on the other hand, Co laro that in a journey through sx Southern s aUs, made for you during ih last spring and summer, I eaw, with one ex-eei-tl ', not a single houestarid renntet arle republican wao did not Ireely tell me that there was no need ol a lorce bill; that even the present enforcement act was ueles; that what the lepubücan party ne-dpd iu those sta'es was puiiüÄUon from the control ot rogue and plutderers, aod that wht kc,.'t up the ill feeling sga'nst negroe, s far asiU-x'Hts an vwhf-re, w as their tco ready and constant afhiiation with low whites and artful den ag iguea who, under the plea ol bjirjz repubucat s. usa tte negro vote to rob the taxpij irjg and property owning citizens. It is not pleasant to a Methodist lay man to bavetospeik severelv of and to contractu positively a bishop of hiachurch; but in this m atter Bishop Haven is capable of doing a good dealol mischief by misleading not only Methodists, but others. It would be ex tremely uojust to charge the Methodist clergv a? a body with a propensity to inter fere in political questions. They do not do so more tban any other clergy of any other eect in this eountrv; and as they have among their members democrats as well as republicans, and as the Methodist laity are ol both political parties, THERE 13 BUT LITTLE TEMPTATION to or occasion for such interference. What, however, some prominent Methodist clergymen can be charged with Is that they do not refuse to use their influence as Methodists with the president to further applications for office. A conspicuous instance of this kind came disagreeably under my notice two years ago, at the time when the appointment of Collector Simmons in Boston created very little discontent among the respectable republicans of Massachusetts and unfavorable comments elsewhere. Gen. Butler's Influence with the president was supposed at that time to have procured ttij appointment, but Judge Hoar, certainly no friend to Gen. Butler, told me that it wis the Methodist Influence in Boston whtch carried tte day for Simmons, and I satisfied myself afterward that this wai true. there are other and more scandalous In stances ci such missuse of Methodist influence which it is not worth while now to mention. I do not think tee president is to be blamed for being surjjsct to such influence, though Id) think he has sometimes camel his submission very far. His parents were Method.s s, his family belong to the fame church, and it ia but natural that he should hold its clergy in respect. But certainly the clergymen them selves commit a gross wrong when they rxake us) of their access to the White House for such purposes. It seems to me dis honorable, and they have undoubtedly, and within mv own nainlnl ninKrionm hroiidhU - J -ww -vv.Vwu - . j I I , n contempt ana di.gracdupo

name by such misconduct, in my judgment, and in that ot many other Methodists, the favor in which our more prominent clergy have been held at the White House and consequently In tbe departments, during a number of years, has had an evil influence upon them and has woiked badly for the church, f or my part l should be very happy if the next president should prove to have an unconquerable aversion to Metho dist clergymen. It would be a fortunate thing for the denomination. THE SPANISH SENSATION. THE QUESTION OP AMERICAN INTERVENTION IN TUE AFFAIRS OF CUBA AQAIN AGITATED. The New York Herald of Wednesday has thetoUowiug dispatches, the first a cable tel egraoi from Vienna: The secretary ol state of the United States has transmitted to every Europsan government a circular, date! in Washington, askiüg an expression of tbe views of each foreign executive regarding the question of American intervention In Cuba. The otjct of the American cabinet minister is the obtaining of dara to b3 usdd in the preparation of Präsident Grant's supple mentary mr s-age to cougress. All the foreign governments have replied satisfac torily. England is ready to indorse the in tervention movement at the present moment. The other nations express their williogaess to support intervention, but hesitate to take the initiative. AGITATION AT WASHINGTON. The following special is from Washington and appears in the same issue: Tbe Spanish question Is naturally much discussed in diplomatio circles, where every change is carefully watched. Tbey say in this circle that Gen. Jovellar, who is to command In Cuba, is an abler and more energetic man than Valmaseda, and that be will make a more ecergetic governor. Ic is believed that he ernes over with orders to put the principal harbors of the island in a state ot defense, and that he will mount heavy siege gucs and may even prepare to blosk ud the mouths of some of the harbors. How much time will be required to do all this is not known here, nor what material Gsneial Joveliar may fiud ready at hand to work with. There is a report here that two Spanish ironclads rave baen ordered to Cuba and that they will stop in New York on the way. The general impreisioa anint diplomatic poop!a U that Eaglao and Fiance will not be parties to auy act of intervention in Cuba; but thas if they wereatkedto join In mediating between Spain and tbe Insurgents it would probably b with the condition that the Ualted State should not carry intervention so far as to lead to our poesesion oi tbe is'and.and the attitude of these powers in 1852-3, while Pierre Soule was minister to Spain, is mentioned 89 warranting fcuch an opinion, Cubs, they say, now owes a dein of 970.OO0 0UO, and depends on Spain instead of yielding revenue to Spain. There is a general impression that the Spanish ministry have been extremely careful and Bagaclocs in tbelr replies to this government, and that they have so far taken extraordinary care to keeo oot ot trouble wltbns. Mr. Fish is understood to have reiterated in his last reply to Spain the determination et tbe United States to insist upon the settlement of all unsettled claims of uurcit!z9ns again? Spain, and also upon measures required to ameliorate the unhappy condition of Cuba, and It is also understood that Mr. Cusblog has demanded the revocation of all sentences agaicst American citizens and property holur in Cuba pronounced by courts martial, aDd which involved loss of either liberty or property, but that Spain hs put in oppoliion her un8titi9d claims against ths Virginius. It is also asserted that, in a re cnt note, Mr. Cushiog has remarked io the Spanish raioister of foreign ailalrs t li at, though the prf-sidnnl'd message seamed to close all dlscusnonon tbequestion of belligerent rights tor the pressnt, this would not preclude the reopening of that question in

the future, if it sbjuld prove necessary or advisable. FROM CUBA DIRECT. Oa the 13tb. lost ValmwecU telegraphed to Royal Commissioner Rubi that he needed $300,000. "Whit do you want it for?" "To pay for certain contracts." "I wish to see said contracts." "Tbey are in the hands of private perse ns ."

Let sid persons come on here and show them." As there were no contracts or persons f irthcomiug Kubi refused to give tbeinooey. Valmaseda then, in a raije, telegraphed to .Spain and received a reply, saving. You, as captain general, sßd Kubi, a commissioner, know what oaen ought to o." Kuhi ha not given the amount atked for and Valmaseda is enraged and has re signed. Kubi has also deuiacded vouchers fr.au the naval bureau and he and tb ndmiral of tb sta i in are a: loggerhead. Oa tie 10th tho nourishing town of Jagnty Grande ws burned by the rebels af er taking all the aaarnuuition, provisions and c'.otcing needed. Oa the same day tbey burned and destroyed the machinery ci three sugar plantations Kosario, Managua and San Luis near fsid town. carrying away between 400 and 600 laves capable ot bearing arms. Tbe administrator of El Rosarlo had entered into contracts for concentrated sugar, and 8( n a messenger to Messrs. De-tjen fc Co. ni t to send any more hogshead", as the in surgents had finished bis crop. On the 12.h met., within two and a halt miles ol vaima sedi's headquarters, a large force of rebels attacked a couvoy train ot 17 carloads of army stores near the town of Palmira, ard, alter sackine, set fire to it Dy means of pe troleum. Thatown of Palmira is half the distance between Las Cruces and CienfueKos. Grinding sugar cane is going on briskly at estates up near Colon ; but Bsmba and Sazua, etc., are expected soon to be fired up. A DEAD DESPERADO. SEQUEL TO A CONSPIRACY. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY A VILLAIN WELL OUT OF THE WORLD HOW IT WAS ACCOM PLISHED. The Lebanon correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial of yesterday Fays: The air of Lebanon is lighter to-night. It is no longer contaminated by the breath of one of those monsters in human shape that make the heroes of our nursery tales seem barm leFS. I reached here ia time to-day to wit ness, or at least to hear, tbe end of one of those blocdy strifes which would better fit a story of the Black Hills thn the civilized commonwealth of Kentucky. You may never have beard of George Northcratt, but be has been for some years the terror ot the order-lovirg citizsns of this com munity. He is known to be guilty ot the murder of three inoffensive men; jet such Is the tear that be Inspires that men dam not prosecute him, lest their homes bo burnt and tbev be murdered in their beds. When a reward was offered for his capture he rode bodiy about, and no man dared to touch him. ic-day men refused to ex Dress an opinion of him, lest he might hear of it and avenge it. Yet, now that he is dead, proba My some of ttese stories are exaggerated. because ott ne very relief trom fear which tte news brought. For some years, how ever, this community has stood in dread ot tTTl . a. niS anger. W lfcneseB could not D9 lUQUCed m. 1. 1 m, while a single threat would enable him to secure testimony to any assertion he might choose to make. Soroe yeirs agr, in consequence of a most brutal murder he bad committed, a reward of föOO was offered by tbe state for his cap ture, and a company of militia was SENT CP TO SECURE HIM. For weeks he eluded them simply because he inspired such fear that no one dared relU3d him assistance. Finally, he delivered himself np to a comrade, who claimed tbe $500 reward, gave it to Nortbcraft, and with it he paid the expenses of his trial, which through witnesses procured by the dread of his vengeance, resulted in an acquittal ror i year or two there has been a feud be tween him and his brother, who, like all bis companion?, was his tool, and tbe Fogle brothers two men who know no fear, but who prefer to settle such ecores by their own hands, rather tfcan appeal to the la-, which, indeed, und?r the circumstances, was powerless. They inct last spring in a ealoon, and several shots were exchanged, and one or two of the parties pounded, but none fatally, after whi h tbe hostility seemed to die out. Thomas Chand'er has been for several years marshal ot Lebanon, and is described as one ot tbe bravest, as well as one of tbe most discreet and orderly men in this part of tbe state. For some time Nortbcraft has bore a grudge against him for tbe manner in which be discharged tbe duties of his oflloe in his (Nortbcraft's) prosecution. About two weeks ago, Nortbcraft, in order (as it now appears) to get an opportunity to kill Chandler, revived the quarrel with the Fogle brothers, and tor a fortnight the community baa been in dsily expectation of bloodshed. When I reached town this afternoon these BULLIES WERK ON THK 8TREET; their immense revolvers scarcely concealed, and a whisper (men seemed hardly to trust their thoughts to word) soon spread that tbe quarrel was to be settled to-day. Many people were afraid to go about their business for fear of a stray shot, whenever the rceleo should begin. Attention for a while was diverted by a fibt between some soldiers acd negroes, iu which four or fives'io s were fired, but nobody burt. By and by it began to be noticed that the threatening partv, Nortbcraft and backers, seemed least anxious for close quarter", and Chandler remarked trt a friend: '-I -'s m they are after; not the Foiles." By dark there wan a rumor, Btori confirmeJ, that a tteity ot peace had been signed; both parties pledging themselves to drop the quarrel and be as strangers to one another; aod all but those who understood the true pur poe ot Nortbcraft went home thinking that all was well. About a quarter alter 6 seven or eight "snots were hta'd in the upper part of town, and in a few minutes the main street was deserted and stores closed, except here and there a door onened to admit a straggler or bear tbe neivs. I stepped into a half-open door of a hardware store, whose shutters bad been quickly adjusted, and there found ten or twelve excited men anxious to bear the resalt of the firing, but afraid to venture out. la the course of half an hour, however, the street was again filled with excited men and wild rumors, which finally sifted down into the following facts, as nearly as lean gitber them: Alter tbetiucebad been signed tbe Fogle brothers and their friends went home, and Nortbcraft and backers, consisting ot his brother and two men by the name of Brent, set about THE REAL PURPOSE OF THEIR CONSPIRACY, and began creating such a disturbance as thiy kcow would necessitate tbe Interference of the marshal. It wesa't long till he re-ponded, remarking to a friend: "Well we have to arrest them," and with a pese ot three or four men approached them. Comicg up to Nortbcraft, Chandler presented a shot-gun and ordered htm to aurleuder. Whether be reftsed to d so or not is not known. At any late, Chandler fired and killed Northciatt,"and at the ms time

one of Nortbcraft's companions, who was on

boreebacK. fired at and killed Chandler. Several other shots were fired, but so Jar as s yet known no one was hit. Nortbcraft's riends escaped. As soon as the remains ot Nortocrati and . Chandler were cared to.-, about tweiity-tive men, armed and mounted, started . In pursuit of tbe fugitive, and succeeded in capturing the two Brent boys, who are now lodged in all awaiting their trial. Tbe feeling against Northcrafr, now ttai ha is dead, ia couerkl and outspoken. luded, It is a positive relief that he is out of the way: men breutb freer, while the regret tor Chandler is heartfelt nd sic care. It is a slrjgulareoccidente shall we call it a fatality ? that, within twenty race ot where ChaLdler foil. thirty yesrs ago, be buried a knife in the heart of a companion vri.h whom he tai quarreled, and against whom re was de nning himself, whiie within thlrtv yards in the other direction Northcralt's father kll.ed hlmielf.

The shakes, or chills. once broken by it, do not return. until l uo disease is con traced again.

It thoroughly ex pels the disease, so that no Liver compl-dnts, follow tbe cure. Indeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatic Poison, it removes the cause of them and they disappear. Not only Is it an eflectual cure, bat, if taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it will expel the poison and protect them rrora a tacK. Travelers and temporary residents In fever and ague localities are thus enabled to defy the disease.
