FORCED TO DIsGORGE.

Some days ago We published the fact that
Ed. Russell, State Superintendent OF lnsur-
ance. was delinquent-that he had not
turned over the furds in his hands to the
State Treasurer. as he was in duty bound to
DO according to law
The TIMES Sas soundly berated for thus
telling the simple truth. The old charge Of
personal zpite was reiterated. Some few had
The audacity to deny it, and others said The
TINES ought not to publish it, il ii was true.
The plain duty OF THE TINES is to expose
wrong in our officials, no matter where 1t Is
found. The TIMES has always done this
and ALWAYS intends TO do it. In doing this
however, in the future as in the past, w
will never Intentionally wrong any one, b
he friend or foe. 1t is the duty Of publ
l journal to speak the truth, and The lime
will 50 speak, LET who will get hurt. In
public good demands this much, and
shall be given.
The following telegram from Topek

The State Fair.

From cur dispatches it appears that the
Safe Fair in progress at Leavenworth SUI
passss anything of the kind ever held in
Kansas, and is far greater success than
could have been reasonably expected in
view o! the drouth, grasshopper vi.iiation,
&C.. snd the impoverished condition Of some
sections Ct the State. The show Of farm pre-
ducts. which the managers thought would be
the slimmest feature OF the exhibition, is re-
ported as excellent ard sttr,ctive Every de-
partment Of the Fair is we'll filed, and

GOV. N. GREEN.

A friend of Governor Green informs us
that about two weeks ago he was with the
Governor upon the receipt by him Of letter
from u. W. Houston, urging Mr.. Green &c
become candidate for Congress.
lie reports Mr.. Green as saying that Inc
was for Col. Phillips for Congress. That he
fore the convention he had agreed TO sup.
port him. That ii the convent on had failed
to nominate Phillips, and had nominated
him (Green) he might have accepted the
nomination; and that in no event would he
be a candidate now, against Phillips.
Ii this be true, it shows that the Governor
truly appreciates the situation, and thu
motives of those who seek to place him in :
false position. His friends here have said
from the first that the Governor was too
good Republican TO bite at such bait.

Mr.. Moulton, for hi, part, introduces new

Til;on made their confession to him in the
presence of another Witnesr. whom be does

The most important part Of the statement
relates to the long-suPprtssed charges Of
Henry 4. Bowen sgainst Beecher. which
Moulton avers were charges Of adultery
with five different women, including
one charge Of rape. In regard to the
latter charge. Moulton says that Beechel
confessed to him the ct Of csimlnal inter.
course, but denied having ned violence, and
alleged that The woman, though unmarried
'hxd had previous experiences Of the sam'
sort" This revelation, Moulton says, "a
made to him twelve days after the conie<ioI
of adultery with Mr.. Tilton. and while b
was engaged with Ii. B. Clafiin and other
in settling up Tilton's difficulties with Bowen
He told Beecher that unless be wished to re
