Two National Boards of Trade
CONSOLIDATION PROBABLE.

There was meeting to-day Of Two boards Of
trade in this city-the U. S. Board Of Trade at
the Riggs House and National Board of Trade
at the Ebbitt. 1t is probable that the two boards
may be combined as they are both organized

boards will meet at the Riggs House this after
noon for conference on this subject.

also act upon the applications for withdrawal

communication was read from the U. S. board
of trade, inviting committee OF the national
board OF trade to meet a committee of the U: S.
board of trade, with view to the consolidation
OF the boards, as there was no necessity for two
boards. The communication was referred to a
committee OF five, to meet the committee from
the other board, of which the chair and the sec
retary were constituent members. There was,
previous to the adoption of the motion for the
committee OF conference, some discussion of the
subject, generally favorable to consolidation

for division of the District with eleven town.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
The House committee on the District of Col
umbia to-day passed an order directing Repre-
sentative Henkle to return to the committee the
bill to amend the charter of the Howard Uni
versity. This bill provided that the government
of the University should be vested in a board of
trustees of thirteen members one to be a mem
Der OF the Senate and two to be members OF the
House OF Representatives. To this board was to
have been entrusted the financial management
Of the University, and the bill further provided
that, whereas S27O,0O0 have recently been paid
back into the Treasury of the United States by
the War department, from moneys originally
appropriated to pay the bounties OF colored SOL
diers, but which were left unclaimed after seven
years, from the impossibility Of discovering
claimants; and whereas additional moneys from
the same source, to the amount of $4,000, are
about to be similarly covered back into the
treasury, making total OF S510 900; and
whereas it is in the circumstances equitable and
eXpedient that the colOred race should have the
benefit of said moneys for their educational i'm
provement and elevation, the Secretary of the
Treasury shall invest and hereafter keep per-
manently invested, the sum OF $500, 600 in bonds
of the United States, the interest of which, as it
shall fall due, shall be paid by him to the
Howard University aforenamed for the mainte-
nance of its normal preparatory and collegiate
departments, grounds, buildings, library, appa-
ratus and cabinets; said bonds to bear date July
l, 1879.
At the special session Of Congress the COM
mtttee agreed to report the bill favorably, and
assigned it to Mr. Henkle. AT to-days meeting
there was such evident opposition developed on
the committees towards the bill, that Mr.. Hen
kle was directed to restore it for the full action
OF the committee, and meanwhile the vote di-
recting 1t to be favorably reported was recon-

STATE FAIR AT PHILADELPHIA.--Tbe State
Fair Of 1879, which commenced on Monday,
at Philadelphia, presents to its exhibitors an
Commonwealth, save only the yer-memorable
event of the Centennial year.
| The capacity of the Main Building, which,
our readers will recollect, covers more than
twenty-five acres, together with the enclosed
space adjacent are filled with fine herds of
cattle and horses the newest improvements In
labor saving machinery, fruits, flowers, and
seeds in profusion, together with all the do.
nestle manufactures, &C., which contribute sc
largely and effectually to displays of this char.
| acter.
Among the exhibits which space enables us
to enumerate are large collection of thor.
ough- bred and imported draft horses, fine
| bred horses of rare strains, including the Gel
| ebrated Arabian stations recently presented
to General Grant by the Sultan of Turkey "a
better variety of short-norn herds than ever
congregated together 10 the United States
heretofore together with the most extensive
display Of tine-bred Jersey aud Guernsey cat.
| tie ever shown at any exhibition. TO this can
| be added fine display of Ayrshire and Devon
cattle, with splendid show of fine long and
middle-w wooded sheep, choice varieties of Chest
4 err, Berkshire, and Poland china swine, and
all other live stock in proportion.
| A prominent and interesting feature is the
cheese aud butter factory from Utica, N. ",
in practical operation, turning ont each hour
large quantities of the best and choicest pro.
ducts of the dairy. This extraordinary at
traction has been secured by the managers at
| a cost of one thousand dollars. xea
/ The applications for motive. power to drive
the machinery In motion have tested the inge
nuity of the obliging managers, and the con
tributiohs of agricultural produce are simply
immense. The Camden and Atlantic Rail
road show the products of the farm and gar.
dens along their line, and the Vinelapd Societ,
has postponed its annual exhibition and turn
ed all its efforts in favor of the show at Phil.
adelpiiia. Little Delaware sends rich supplies
of her fruits to compete with the orchards of
Pennsylvania. Indeed, the exhibition Is rath
er an inter State than State affair, and the
4 manufacturers Of Philadelphia have found Il
| out, aud have gone to work IN earnest.
