How they Preserve Order in Austria

How they Preserve Order in Austria.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
News, describes the following shocking af-
fair as having taken place at Scent Maria,
near Gross Waradrid lately:
"a a peasants wedding, when the prGces-
sion Of The betrothed was moving towards
the church, the gendarme approached the
bride and summoned her Immediately TO di-
vest herself OF the red, white. and green rib
bons which she had in her dresses, according
10 the custom Of the country girls, saying
that these colors weie revolutionary. The
bridegroom objected. saying that after the
ceremony the bridge would comply with the
desire Of the gendsrme, but that now they
could not keep the priest waiting at the altar.
The gendarme retired, the procession proceed
ed to the church, but at the moment when
the bride was kneeling at the steps Of the
altar to receive the benediction the gendarme
rushed forward and cut her tresses and riO-
bons with scissors from her head. In Hun
gary it is considered great insult to female
TO cut her hair, it conveys the notion Of in.
fanny. Naturally an affray took place the
gendarme was assailed by the bridegroom
other gendarmes arrived in aid of their fel
low official, the people. though without
arms, rushed upon them, and the result was
the slaughter Of seven men, three gendames
and four peasants, among them the bride
groom and the brutal assailant of the bride.

State Fair Grounds.

The ground upon which the late State
Fair was held, IL, we understand, perfectly
adapted for such exhibitions, and as they are
likely to continue to be held annually, for
many years to come, would it not be we'll to
purchase the ground a1d fit it up expressly
for them We believe it would, swell on
the score Of economy, as hat Of every other
interest to be consulted in The selection oi
site and locality. If there still continues to
be no fxed place for fais, the expense Of
erecting buildings and preparing grounds
will in q few years, il we mistake not,
pay fc- those recently occupied. These

False Issues.

The efforts Of our party opponents to sue
ceed in the approaching election are desper
ate, as is evidenced by the kind Of tactics
displayed. Our neighbors of the Tribune &
Clipper ride the tariff hobby in order to Sc
cure the votes of the iron men in this Sec
ton, when this same question has been dis
carded as an issue by the wings generally
throughout the Union. The New York Mir
ror, edited by whig government officer,
kicks the tariff hobby into the middle OF
next week, and lectures his brother wings
rather severely for bringing such an" obsolete
issue" into the contest Butas it may gain
afew votes for the wings, the question serves
the purpose Of the Tribune & Clipper, and
the editors hammer away upon it with zeal
and gusto truly admirable. The iron men OF
this region are getting along as prosperously
and are making as much money as those en-
gagged in any other branch Of business; yet,
the Tribune & Clipper seems determined to
ruin them, and the country generally; and
that, too, without saying even so much as
"by your leave"
But, as we before remarked, the tariff ques-
ton does only to divert the attention Of some
persons in this section Of the State from the
true issue. In other portions Of the country
where the banking interest is strong, tht
whig politicians are declaiming upon th'
stump and affirming in the papers, that th'
"ascally locofocos " are determined to crusl
every bank in the State as soon as they ge
into power. This is wholly without found
alton in truth. Still, it will do for hobby
which will prove like hundreds of other
which our opponents have propelled, very
tickle and unsafe. The ignorant who ar
deluded by them will not be deceived NOR
than once, and in the end we shall be tn

and good order in the north, il such murders

from slavery.
If such prohibition should ever become

strained communication of the blacks with
