HOW THE GOVERNORS "STR1N
GENT LAW" WORKS..

We heard to-day of the operation of the
Stringency," in anticipation Of its enact
nent, which we think worth publishing for
the benefit of His Excellency aud his as
ringent" friends. @e.
One of our citizens wished day or two
since to procure hand to work for him
short time, and he enquired where ne could
find Wing to do job Never having fol-
lowed the example set by the iocos of en-
ploying only their political friends, his mo-
tive for inquiring for Wing was not under
stood, and his reason for doing so, was ask
ed. He replied that he wanted Wing
because he could discharge him when he
had no further use for his service, without
suspicion, but that he might be in danger Of
prosecution under the stringent law" IT he
discharged loco foeo from his employment,
and that he now considered it the safest
course not to hire one.

"A gentleman OF this city, owner of vault
in Trinity Church Yard, which has been
closed for many years, had occasion to have
it opened yesterday. To his surprise he
discovered that the silver plates had been
wrenched from 8 of the collins. The marks
where the plates were fastened were visible,
and the plale nails in some instances remain
ed. showing that the silver plates hal been
hastily and roughly, torn off. The vault
had not been usedfor interment in 4, years,
but was opened about 8 or y years ago 10 be
repaired. Persons owning wants in Trinity
Yard, and who had them repaired some 8
or y years ago. will probably find the plates

the Office OF the Vestry in Fulton street.
