The Integrity of the Ballot Box Must be
Guarded.
THE PRESIDENT Will NOT CON
ERONISE

New IoRk, March -. The Tribune states
that member of the Cabinet who does not
hesitate to say he fully understands the Pres

election laws, says in the most emphatic
terms there is not a sign of desire to com
promise on the part Of any cabinet officer, and
that rs for the President nothing could move

of every law undermining those which guard
the ballot box until the term of the admins
tration ends in 1871.
