NEW YORK Cry CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS-
Some considerable progress has been made in the
party work Of candidates for Congress from this
great metropolis. The average quality OF the
article thus far is also something better than we
have had for some years past. We speak Of the
men, without reference to party distinctions As
partzans the democrats have put up w. II
Maclay for the Fifth District practically &C
ceptable man; John Cochrane, in the Sixth dis
trict another good man, able and capable; John
Kelly, in the Fourth district, not bad represen-
tative of the interests of our city; and Elijah
Ward in the Seventh district, an old and
expd iced campaigner. Among the Know
Nothing nominees Mr. Briggs, who has been a
faithful representative heretofore is probably the
only man who will poll an outside vote of any
weight. In the Third democratic district there
was dead lock, and Mr.. Sickles failed to get in.
We think, in fact, that he has fallen through be-
tween loose planks Of the flooring and that it is
good thing if it is So He is one of the most rot
en- politicians of the Forney school, and is
trading upon borrowed capital, in assuming to
have great influence with Mr.. Buchanan We
know better; and have reason to believe that Mr..
Buchanan would like to shake him off and would
shake him off if he only had the pluck to do So
Gen. Walbridge, however, we suspect, win take
care of Mr.. Sickles. Read the General card in
advertising columns proclaiming himself an indie
pendent candidate for Congress for our Third dis
trct. He pursues the right course, and prefers to
stand upon his own bottom. He has been worthy
representative of our city heretofore, and his
principles are well known. He is open to the
support Of all parties, and leaves party conven--
tons to take their own course He will be doing
a good service in superseding the election Of
such reckless party hack as Mr.. sickles. Hurry
up the cakes

SHOCKING SUPERSTITION AND CRIME
The Revue de Geneve publishes the follow
ing facts:
GA hideous crime has just been commit
tee. at Chablais, which proves what danger
Gus results the ignorance of the people may
produce. A mountain peasant, afflicted with
rheumatism, had heard from one of his
friends that human flesh would relieve his
palms. Immediately he set to work to pro-
cure some, aud could think of no better plan
than to sacrifice his little daughter, girl
from six to seven years old. He communi-
Gated his plan to his wife who approved of it.
"At the first attempt the child escaped
form its infamous parents, and refused to en-
ter the house again at nighttime, under the
plea that they wished to murder her. Some
of the neighbors, who could not believe hel
story, soon succeeded in persuading her, and
she went home.
"The next day, one of the neighbers, who
was accustomed to see the little girl every
morning at his house, remarked her absence
and went to her fathers house to see if she
was there. Not seeing her, he made in
quiries, which were unsatisfactory answered
His suspicion was soon excited, and was still
