IMPORTANT FROM KANsAs-THE FIRST ELEc-
TIoN--An election was held in Kansas on the
10th ult for the choice Of delegate to repre-
sent that Territory in the Congress of the
United States. The candidates put forward
were, J. w. Whitfield and Robert p Flenniken,
the former being the proslavery or squatter
candidate, who is represented as being in favor
Of leaving II to Vie people to soy whether
slavery shall or shall not be recognized in the
Territory, and the latter is for sbolishing
slavery at once and forever. We have but few
returns Of the election, but as far as received
they indicate the success Of Gen. Whitfield, and
the establishment of the principles Of squatter
sovereignty by majority Of the inhabitants Of
the new Territory. The following are the re-

The balance in the Treasury at the close Of
the last fiscal year was upwards Of twenty one
millions. It now amounts, we believe, to some
thing like twenty-seven. This is just thirty
one millions less than il should contain. With
in the past year seven millions of gold have
been distracted from the public Golfers on the
frivolous pretext of purchasing land from Next
co, but in fact to enable Santa Anna to estab-
fish despotism on our southern borders; aud
three more are to follow as soon as the bound
AIRY line is drawn. Twenty four millions and
upwards have been spent in purchasing twenty
millions worth of the public debt. There was
no necessity for this purchase. The credit Of
the State was good. No new loans were re-
quired. No creditor pressed for payment; on
the contrary the holders Of government securi-
ties refused to part with them lower than TWEEN
ty-one per cent premium. The fact was the
administration, like any country farmer, have
an idea that debt is horrible thing, and that
the State should pay it's debts of as soon as
possible. Hence three millions Of dollars have
been absolutely thrown away, and from these
various causes, the Treasury balance instead Of
being ffty.eight millions is only twenty-seven.
We have now one suggestion to make to
Congress. The very first examination made Of
the accounts Of the Collectors Of Customs has
brought to light four defalcations, some Of
which were for very large amounts. While the
spirit Of corruption is abroad, 1t would be well
to ascertain the condition Of the various sub
treasury vaults. The gentlemen who con-
troll these treasure chests certify that such and
such sums are in their hands; bat 80 did the
Collectors who helped themselves to the public
money. In these times, man who has under
his control million or more in gold may
easily make fortune by using It; the tcmpta-
ton Is very great. SO great in fact that Con-
gress Ia bound in justice to the nation to take
steps TO ascertain the truth Of the snb-treasury
reports A committee should be appointed,
aud respectable persons, unconneeted with the
