Karl Marx, the Corresponding Secretary of the International So- ciety for Germany avd Holland. 1 found iim at his house, a neat little villa In Maitland Park, where he as just now very busily eagawed in receiving and assisting escaped Communists who find their way to London, and who are for the most part destitute of the means of existence. He seemed disposed to lalk very freely about the Commune and the Inter- national and willing to have bis views given to the world through the coiumns of the New Yorge HERALD, aitthough he blames that paper severely for the principles sustained by it during the course of the Communal! etruggle. Having seen some of my letters in the RERALD concerving Dombrowsky he remarked that Iwas very much in the wrong to suppose that Dombrowsky was the only man the Commune had prod that he could point to many equally avucst and Drave, although they aad not pro- babiy distinguished themselves as he had done; that Woblesky, tor instance, was as good a man, although not so weil educated in military matters, and tha! he oqually with 139; Waky nad tae couddsuce of the Commune. 1 observed, however, that when, in the course of the conversation, [asked his OPINIONS RESPRCTING THE PROMINENT LEADERS OF THE COMMUNE, ther coincided most strangely with my own, as already expressed at various times tn tae columns of the HRRALD—a fact which was noticeable ia the oourse of the conversation that followed. He in- formed me that Dombrowsky's brother, Who Was in command at Asnicres when the Versailles troops eptered at the Anteuii Gate, bad escaped and was Tow ia London, cafe and well, as was Rosvelesky, Woblesky's ebief of sta, and many others whom f had seen curing tuose dark and bloody days.

THY INTERNATIONAL AND THE COMMUNE, ConexsroxpeNT—Did the International have as to do with the outbreak of the Commane as peopte imagine?

COKRBSPONDBNT—That is a story I had never heard before. Dr, Manx—TIt is true nevertheless. And it was this donole deating tnat led him in his turn to be suspected by the Commune, They thougit he mast be a consummate hypocrite, CORKBSPONDENT—But they suspected grenznody sd Dr, Manx —Yes, probably. with two or three ¢: ceptions, Butyou canuot bla‘ne them, they bat been betrayed so often.

REGRLLIOUS ROCURYORT. | CORRESPONDENT—And what do you think of Rochefort? Lr. Makx—Rochefort has some good points. He made a bold fight agaipst the empire, and during the time of the Commune he critic.sed both sites severoly. guve them about eaual portions of hard blows, believe, had both equally incensed against him, It must be admitted tnat O18 er.t Clams Were Correct as Well AS Savage.

Middlesex Conaty Carried by the Umerrified. It has already been stated im the HERALD that some six weeks or 89 ago Mr. Farr, the republican Sheriff of Middlesex county, New Brunswick, died, leaving vacant the sbrievalty. Tue custom of long stauiing has been to allow the successful man w remain in oMice three instea't of one year, be he republicaa or democrat, 60 that he might become at oace useful to himself and the county. On tne demise of Mr, Farr the republicans claimed that to nem belonged exclusively the right of filling the vacancy. The democracy, on the other hand, declared the office belonged to the man and not the party, and from This arose a flerce poilticai squabble among the op- ing parues, The republicans nominated a re jarned. and the democrats @ Mr. Snediker, son-in-law of the deceased nan, woo deen his veputy, did aM the ousiness during Mr. Farr’s sickness, and ts now to a cunsiderablo soares the stay of the bereaved ramily, In nominating bm the democrats Ki.led two birus with one stone—they chose a democrat and paid a debi ol gratitude to dead repuolican.

Mecting to Organise Opposition ¢o the New Bx A meeting of the members of the Apothecarte#* Union of New York city and suburbs was held yes terday in Association Hall,corner of Twenty-third | atreet and Fourth avenue, for the purp.82 of organ- izing opposition to the newly appointed Board for | the Exammmation of Draggists and Chemists Mr. | Cook, the President of the Association, took the chair, and madea short address on the natare and } object of the meeting. Wuen he had concluded the Acting Secretary read the report of the Committee | on Signatures, which was adopted. Mr. Robbing | then deitvered a short address from his seat in the body of the hall, giving THE HISCORY OF JIM IRVING'S BILL, ashe called the one which brought the new Board of Examiners into being, and declared that in his opinion it was uofavoraple and unjust. The princi- ' pal point of objection on the part of Mr. Kobbins to tig new Board was that it ignored, nos alone the Giplomas of the Collere of Pharmacy, but also the College itself, although by tne i¢w of 1:39 both were recognized. Some of the older men, wno hed graduated eitner in America or in Europe, consid. ered that it wasa great hardsatp to be required to pass the same examination a3 young men Who were eniering the profession. No question was raised at the meeting on the point which, aiter all, ts of MOST IMPORTANCE TO THR PUBLIC, namely, the desirability of obligatory qualification | om the part of young men enzaged im the drag trade. This matter Is, indeed, touched upon in the second section of the consiitution, but was carefally i avoided by the meeting, Those present seemed mucn more occupied with the care of their own in- Gividnal and selfish interests than wita the good of the public. Ope of the gentlemen went so far as to deny taat the representatives of the people at Al | bany had ANY RIGHT TO MAKE A LAW | winch interfered with their acquire! rights, This geutieman seemed also to be vader the impression that the old draggists, who had establisued a bual- ness. ought not to be disturved, even if they were uniitted for the proper discharge of their dutios, Property in this gentleman's eyes was so sacred that peoples’ lives should be endangered jest the sacredness of property shouid bo trenched upon. Another geatieman thought that where gros3 in- competency existed the druggists should be pro- hibited irom compounding. Mr. Robbins during the course of his address remarked tat the framers of the new law uad neglected to insert PRUHIB TORY OLAUSES, 8 well as repeal the law of '39, anu that. In his opine lon, those who neld diplomas fiom the College of Pharmacy could continue to dispense medicines in defiance of the new law. With regard to the poale ttou of the drug clerks who bad never passed an ex. amination, be though’, how-ver, that ths case was dinerent and advised the taking of eminent lezal advice as to the exact bearing uf the law. On the conclugion of Mr, Rubdins’ address a vote of thanks lo that geutieman was moved aud passed. A prop- osition was then made to appoint a committee on finance, aud alter @ good deal or DESULTORY TALKING about carrying on the war and raising the sinews of war the propouition was adopted, The President then announced that avout $60 had already beom Spent, und suggested the propriety of replenishin, the treasury. A motion was then made oy ono of the geuriemen that each me.uber should pay 10 €2 to {ie yenerat :und, and that as there was Do ume like | the present those present would, if they pleased, pay inatonce. Ihe meeting did not number over | Beventy persons, and nearly all present complied with THE PRESIDENTS REQUEST, 1 An effort was made to get the Executive Commit tee appointed Wnt was defea.ed.
