Bolts. the HalsIead Murderer.

NEWARK, January l3-The state
ment that Bolts, condemned for the
murder of Pet Halstead, was the hus-
band instead Of the paramour OF the
woman Wilson has been verified by his
own admission of the fact. To-day he
stated that he first met her in 1861 at
a disreputable house in this city and
prevailed upon her to quit the house
and furnished her with means 10 lead a
respectable life. In the fall Of the same
year they went to the Paterson races,
and as thew were returning she dared
him to marry her. Botts, who was
somewhat drunk at the time, agreed to
do so, and they drove to Little Falls,
where they were married by Rev. T. II.
Langdon.
Afterwards she made him promise to
keep the marriage secret. She was
married under false name. For seven
years she lived with him and was sup
ported by him, still going under the
name of Wilson, for she had another
husband from whom she had never been
divorced. Bolts SAYS he would never
have betrayed her secret had she net
lately written him letter in which she
stated she had always loved another
man at the same time abusing him Tor
bringing her name before the public,

New ORLEANS, January l3.-The
announcement yesterday that Carter
and his adherents would demand ad-
mission to the Mechanics Institute this
morning caused unusual excitement,
Before ten o'clock a concentration OF
Metropolitans and militia had been
effected. Two lines, one Of Metropoli.
tans and another of militia, had been
thrown across Dryades street, each side
of the State House, inside OF which
some two hundred had been placed.
There was evident uneasiness among
the State officials as indicated by rest
lessness and blancbed faces, showing
they regarded the situation as momen'
tous. A crowd gathered about the in
tersection of Dryades with Canal street,
as early as ten o'clock, and continued
to increase until twelve o'clock, by
which time it extended several squares.
At twelve o'clock Colonel Carter at the
head of his friends, came up Canal
street to Dryades, and sent into the
House committee consisting OF Mes'rs.
Moncure and Geddis, members Of the
House, and Senator Lynch. They were
not admitted to the floor Of the House.
Instructions were given TO the door.
keeper to admit Messrs. Moncure and
and Geddis as members, but not to ad'
nit Mr.. Lynch. The House finally,
after some conversation among the
members, refused to receive them as a
committee from the Carter faction, or to
receive any communication from Mr..
Carter, whom they did not recognize as
the Speaker, nor as a member. The
then returned to their friends,
who were waiting on Canal street to
hear the result of their interview.
The Carter men then resolved to ad-
iourn till 10 o'clock Monday, and to
continue all legal means TO preserve
its integrity from encroachment and
in favor of reforms demanded by the
people. After adjournment Major Mon
cure announced the action OF the House
TO the mass of citizens on the outside.
Some speeches were made by the Car
terites. The general tone of the
speeches were in favor Of law and
order, but urged a peaceable demand
by the citizens Of General Emory for
the dispersion Of the police from
Mechanics Institute, that citizens
might peaceably enjoy their rights, or
else declare martial for the safety OF the
community.

A meeting was held yesterday to
further the efforts toward free Public
Library. A committee was appointed
to draft bill for the Legislature pro-
yiding for q small tax to sustain it. The
proposed tax will not be more than one
mill and perhaps only three-quarters.
A meeting Of Northside residents,
mainly Germans, was held last night
to protest against the proposed sweeping
ordinance prohibiting the erection Of
frame buildings in any part Of the city.
1t was held that il would be utterly i'm.
possible for many to erect brick build
ings who could put up frames on their
own lots, and resolutions were passed
demanding that the ordinance include
only the more central part Of the city.
At about twelve o'clock last night an

A new idea for heavy ordnance is pro-
posed by Bessemer, the inventor of the
cheap process of making steel: Instead OF
setting fire to all the powder in his gun at
once, he divides his charge into different
cells, and explodes them successfully, all
going off before the ball leaves the gun,
and each giving it a new impulse. He
wants now to make cannon twenty yards
long, with bore of thirty inches, and
walls eight inches thick, and with this he
will fire a shell weighing five tons. Such a
projectile striking any existing iron-clad
ship in the hull near the water line, would
sink her at the first pop, and would serious
" damage our strongest Notifications.

A telegram was received in New Orleans
from a prominent. railroad official in New
York City last week, saying that the con
tract for completing our New Orleans, Mo
bile and Texas railroad to Houston, Texas,
had been let to responsible parties, who
would begin the work at once and push it
along as rapidly as possible. This is good
news for Louisiana. Every railroad built
in our State will add greatly to the mate
rial prosperity Of the people and the con-
structiOn of new roads should be encOur-
aged.
