A large meeting of Communists was held in Cooper Hall, New York on the 10th inst., to do honor to the memory of Karl Marx, lately deceased. The red flag of the Commune was everywhere displayed, and a large picture of Marx framed in black and surmounted with the motto, Vive l'Internationale, hung over the platform. The domestic and public virtues of the dead Socialist were dwelt upon with much feeling, and the utterances of the speakers were received with great enthusiasm. Resolutions were read in English and German and unanimously adopted. They conclude with an endorsement of the communistic ideas given by Marx to the world, and the dedication of their lives to the cause of which he was the pioneer, and never to forget his appeal, 'Workingmen of the world, unite.' To the thoughtful mind the question is ever present. 'What does the agitation mean and where will it end?'
