KANzAs MATTERS AT WAsHINGTON.-The
Washington correspondent OF the N. Y. Tribune,
of Jan. 20, says -
'Advices by letter and telegraph this morning
tn the administration, warrant the belief that the
Free Stale party have carried everything in Kan
zas. A complaint is m ade BY some Democratic
parties against Calhoun, far agreeing to a certi6-
cate conditional upon the investigation of the
frauds authorized BY the Legislature as surren-
dering virtually the whole result. In other
quarters it is alleged that the returns commune.
"a ed through General Denver conclusivey set
tie the election. Southern members of Congress
acknowledge that all is lost"
The following is from the correspondent of the
New York Commercial -
IA letter from Mr.. Roberts of Kansas, who
was the Free State candidate for the Office of
Lieutenant Governor, at the election on the 4th,
was received here by a Senator the other day
giving a full account of the election, and showing
that the Free State men had elected State officers
and the State Legislature, against an Illegal
vote Of nearly four thousand. and that there was
no doubt, five thousand more Free State voters
in Kansas than had voted at this election. But,
he says, warn you rot to be deceived BY the
superstition that the Free State party will have
the Legislature and State officers and he goes
on TO shoS that Mr.. Calhoun was prepared to
shape the returns so &C to have pro slavery Leg
islsture, Governor, &c. This letter was dated
the 18th. Since that, telegraphic advices have
been received here, showing how Mr.. Calhoun
carried into effect the project imputed to him
Theie is no dcuot Of this, because advices con.
frming i have been received by members from
Missouri"
The following is from the correspondence ofthe
Eoening Post:
Secretary Stanton says that if any one doubts
that infamous frauds have been placticed in Kan
xas. he can give them facts enough to convince
them. Outlaws and criminals sometimes lad the
control of the ballot boxes, and organized bands
OF them were on the frontier ready to take any
advantage the cowardly rufFi4ns dared to- The
actual relative strength in the territory is about
fifteen thousand free State voters to twenty Ave
hundred pro slavery, aud the teen thousand,
almost 10 man, are resolved and prepared TO
resist BY arms the attempt to force the Leeomp-
ton constitution upon them. Il is impossible to
say what result Of the late election may be re-
turned but there is not the slightest uncer-
tainty that the free State ticket has been elected
out and out"
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald Of Jan. Goth, says:
"The Leeompion constitution is not expected
here till tomorrow or next day. On its ariivsl
