The Commercial Conventions.

The National Board OF Trade met at the Eb-
bitt House to-day, President Fraley in the chair.
A number of amendments to the bylaws and
constitution were made The principal amend
ment was that the decision Of the Board upon
any question should be the votes of the number
of boards OF trade represented, not the vote
OF the number of delegates present. A discus
sion followed the Introduction OF a resolution by
Mr.. Thurber, of N. Y, that Interstate commerce
by railroads should be regulated by Congress,
and proposing plan for such regulation. The
discussion was still going on at half-paSt two.
Nearly all OF the delegates who took part in it
were in favor OF legislation on this subject.
THE UNITED STATES BOARD OF TRADE
met and adopted resolution favoring the met
tic system Of coinage Of gold and silver as bi-
metallic money, reported In the 10th Congress
by the Hon. Alexander II. Stevens chairman of
the committee OF coinage, weights and meas
ureS.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
of the two boards on the question Of consolida-
ton exchanged views last evening and this
morning. They ind 1t impossible to effect a
mutual organization, owing to the radical diff
ferenceS in the constitutions Of the two boards.
Members of both boards regret this.

THE NICHOLSON DIVORCE CAsE.-To-day Mr..
Robert j. Nicholsol, the respondent in the d-
vorce case eutered by Sarah r. Nicholson on
the ground Of abuse and improper relations
with another female, filed his answer. He
denies the allegations of abusive conduct, or
that he called her oprobrtouS names in the
presence Of his children or others. He admits
that petitioner abandoned him, but asserts that
it was due to no harsh treatment on his part, or
because he failed to furnish adequate and proper
support for her and her children. He charges
that she was eXtravagant, and that the aban-
donment was because he refused to incur in
debtedneSS beyond his means to pay, and when
she abandoned him she took all the household
furniture including horse and wagon belong,
ing to him. He claims that he has supported
her and the children as fully as his means VIII
allow. He asserts his willingness to support his
children, and would do so II he was sure that
the money would not be expended upon those
who have no claim upon him. He admits that
since the filing Of the suit he has been to the
house where his wife and children are, but
denies that he was vile or rude In his language,
and says the vile language was on her part. He
says that bis arrest In February was caused by
petitioner maiiciously, and he was promptly
dismissed by the Police Court, but petitioner
made the charge that she was afraid OF him and
he was bound over to keep the peace and he
asserts that this was also malicious charge.
He denies that she has always been a faithful
wife to him, and he denies the charge of adul-
terry. He asks that the bill be dismissed as to
him, and she having of her own motion deserted
him, he prayS that divorce may be granted
him; with the custody Of the two male children.
MI + G. Darlington, jr., appears for respondent.
