Thomas Graham, a cc')f)r'atC(1 English chemist and the Master of the y;,nt( ,TCd in London on Saturday last, tn his sixty j,rt.D ycftr. During the past quarter of a century (u'e deceased has been acknowledged to be one V the first cheraiBts f the world, and his merits Viavis been worthily recognized by an age that pecnifctw honor the devotees of science. As long Vgo, as 1836 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1848 he became a corresponding member x1 the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of France: and Mre Oxford University in 1858 conferred on him the honorary title of Doctor of Civil Law. Bis work on the "Elements of Chemistry-' has long been a standard, and fcas done much to extend his lame among scientific students in the United States and other lands. Mr. ram had indeed mastered the whole circle Of the sciences, although his study of love was chroiMtfy aml ltscognate relations. The law of the tiiotisloa of gases, the law of the diffusion of liquids, itud tft new method of separation known as Dialysis, -were MS leading discoveries. The Koyal Society of ErtnWargh, in 1934, gave him the Keith prize for the Bret, nd the Royal Society, In 1S68, conferred for the latter the Copies medal. Mr. Graham was the son of a merchant and manu facturer of 'Glasgow, Scotland, and was bora De--mber 81, W06. He early entered at Glasgow School, nd subsecitently received the graduation degree of M. A. from'the University of Glasgow in 1S26. A fter two yean' residence In Edinburgh, he returned to His native-town and established a laboratory fer .the practical study of chemistry. He was soon called to lecture at the Mechanics" Institute, and was ap pointed Andersonian Professor at Glasgow. In 1881 he resigned the latter pisltton to accept the Profes sorship of Chemistry In the London University, Upon the retirement or Sir John Herschel from the Mas tership of the Mint, In lWtt, he received the high compliment of that appointment, and ably dis charged Its duties until his recent death. rrter Murk ltoet, l. D., F. R. 8. Dr. Peter Mark Roget, a distinguished English physician and author, died In London on Friday last at the ripe age of ninety. As a medical practitioner, s a scicntliio scholar, and as the author of the "Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases," the de ceased conferred great services upon soieutilic and literary circles. Dr. Roget's ancestry was of French Protestant Dteck, refugees in Switzerland. Ills father was born in Geneva, but afterwards was pastor of a Swiss church In London ; his mother was a daughter of Sir Samuel Romilly. He was born in 1770, and re ceived the degree of M. D. from the University of Kiiinburirh in 1798. In 1803 he was appointed private physician to the Marquis of Lansdowne; in 1904 he was made physician to the Manchester Infirmary, and in 1808 he settled permanently in London. He was largely interested in founding the "Northern Dispensary," t0 which excellent charity he was physician for many years. Dr. Rogers reputation as a physician was early won, and as a lecturer on scientific medical topics lie received appointments from the tmcen and from learned societies. In 1HS4 he whs elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, to which he soon became secretary, and held the onerous position with marked ability for twenty years. lie was the first Fullerian Pro fessor o." Physiology at the Royal Institute. In 1834 he published "Aulmal and Vegetable Physiology," and he wrote many popular treatises on scientific subjects for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, all of which giive him an enviable repu tation. Iu J639 he was appointed Examiuer In Physi ology in the University of London. As a contribution to KnglHh letters. Dr. Rogers "Thesaurus'' stands by its intrinsic merit in the first rank of books of reference indispensable to scholars. It serves as a dictionary of ideas, enabling the writer to trace at once the distinctions between cognate words in all their minute differences, and to select the word best adapted to clothe the unhablted thought. The author first projected it In 1804, and then prepared "a classed catalogue of words on a small scale" for his private use.. Having subsequently resigned his position of Secretary of the Royal Society, he gave four yeirs' unremitting labor to Its compilation. It was II rat published in 1SB4, in his seventy-third year, and it was at once accepted by the literary world as supplementing a great want. The last few years of Dr. Rogers life have been spent In calm retirement, and he was able to rest upon his honors. He was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, a member of. the Senate of the University of London, and of the literary and phl lo.sephical societies of Manchester, Liverpool, Bris tol, tjuebec, New York, Haarlem, Turin, and Stock holnf. Iu Europe and America his merits an I labors were recognized and honored as they fully deserved. Henry pfillDOlst O li., Bishop of Uxeter.

He was the son of a Gloucester Innkeeper, and was burn in May, 1778. He received, however, a thorough edu cation, and at the early age of thirteen was given a Bchiarsnip atuxioru, jd,-1i9B, at the age of eighteen, lie received the degree of B. A., and Boon afterward became the ' recipient of the Chancellor's prize. Shortly afterwards he was elected & Fellow of Magdalen College, and received the prize offered by the Asiatlo Society Tor a panegyrio on the eminent Oriental scholat. Sir Wil liam Jones. Mr. Philpotts, in 1804, marriel a niece or Lady Eldon, and became one of the chaplains to the Bishop of Durham. In 1S06 he first distinguished himself in theological discussion, his opponent being Dr. Lingard, the well-known Roman Catholic histo rian. In 1809 he was made a Prebendary of Durham Cathedral, and held the cure of one of the larger parishes In that city for ten years, when he was pre ferred to the rectory of Stanhope. He received the rtegree of D. D. in 1821. and in was appointed Dean of Chester. In 1830; on the recommendation of the Duke, of Wellington, he was elevated to the JJislioprio of ExeteY, remaining at the head of that fcee until the time of his death, a period of nearly Jorty years. It was as a controversialist that the Bishop of Exeter achieved his greatest fame. Taking an ac . live part In the Roman (ijollo emancipation agita tion, he addressed a letter to Mr. Canning on the eubject which created a profound sensation at the time, and during the entire period of the controversy lie wag in frequent consultation with Wellington and the other leudinj statesmen of the Torv nartv. From that time to the day of his death he has been, both in and out of Par lament, one of the stoutest cham pions of the extreme High Church party. Last year an effort was made to oust him from his bishopric by retiring him upon a pension, but the attempt was a failure. Lieutenant-Colonel John II. Oberteulfer. On Saturday last Lleutenunt-Colouel John H. ober. teuiler died, la the sixty-sixth year or his ago, at the residence or a relative, near Haverrord, Delaware county. The deceased was a native or Prussia, and, having a natural taste for the profession or arms, early quoiiaeu nimseii as an instructor in the mill tary art. Having mastered the science In its details, he served witn distinction la the Prussian army. but subsequently resigned his commission to become a citizen or this country. At the outbreak or the late Rebellion, Colonel Ober teuffer patriotically tendered his services, although then fifty-eight years of age. His ardent wish to nerve In the cause or his adopted country was promptly gratified, and he was commissioned First Lieutenant in Company G, 2d Regiment Heavy Artillery, being the 112th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, on the 26th of October, 1661.. This regl ment was assigned to man the defenses or Wash Jngton, and the Lieutenant, for the able discharge of his duties, was soon commissioned Lieutenant- Colonel. During the several attacks of the enemy npoa the 'derensea or Washington, Colonel Ober teufi'er won distinction for his services, especially in the noted raid of General Jubal Early, when be com jnanded one of the forts under General Augur. The excessive fatigue aa4 exposure endured la this service led to a partial paralysis of the left side; thus incapacitated for active service, Colonel Ober tenner was discharged on the expiration of his terra of enlistment, January 4, 1885. Rest and medical attention, however, brought no permanent allevia tion of the brave soldier's Bufferings; the paralysis soon extended over most of the body, and was the ultimate cause of his death. He was well known to the business community as an agent of Ufa Insu rance, and his kindliness or heart and honesty or soul will make his loss keenly felt by his many asso ciates. C IT V lNTLLlUE CB, rOLlllCAL. Thu rtnldron flnbbllng A Mistake In Ithe tM4fPa Proclamation The Nntnra.llxa.tlon Business. The political caldron fs now just commencing to bubble, and both parties are actively engaged to-day In seeing that all their voters are being assessed, and all those foreigners who will be entitled to vote by the 12th of October are naturalized. The asses sors' headquarters In the various wards are crowded "with those who have been left off the regular list, wnd at times unavoidable trouble Is canned by the residents not thoroughly understanding the provi sions of the new Registry net undor which the com ing and subsequent elections will be conducted. The Democracy of fourse don't want to under stand It, and the objections made and delays caused originate with them. Yet It has been a noticeable fact that many of the old-time Democrats, those who wouldn't vote any other ticket no matter what the consequences might be. who have not only been re gularly assessed, are keeping away from the asses sors' quarters, it Is said with the Intention of testing the question of the constitutionality of the election at some subsequent day; that Is, they will contest the election if the Republicans carry the city by a small majority, but the knowing ones contend that, tinder the new stale of affairs, the Democrats will be so far behind on the evening of the lath of October that they won't even dare to dream of such a thing Their system of colonizing and repeating will have been done away with, so that inxtead of the 6),hio votes which they claimed to have polled at tho Inst election, their aggregate will have dwindled down to a legitimate basis, say BO.noo, and maybe less. Hits morning the Court or Quarter Sessions and the Diftrict Court were opened for the purpose of naturalizing foreigners, and as it is the only day which will prove of auy service, both have been crowded with the men who left their homes In years gone by to make their fortunes on the free shores of America. Germans, Irish, English, Scotch, Danes, Swiss, and Russians were all mixed together, and within a short time were all made Americans. The I'rothonotarles of tne Common Pleas and the District Court and tho Clerk of the Quarter Sessions were kept busy In lining up the necessary papers for the scrutiny or the Argus-eyed Judges, who are not at all emulous of the fame ac quired by Sharswood In the Supreme Court last year, indeed, the contrast between the manner in which the matter was conducted by Judges Ludlow and Stroud this morning, and the "style in which it was done" last September and October by Judge Shars wood, was so great as to cause considerable com ment among the bystanders, or whom there were quite a number present. In the Supreme Court, the judge set perched upon the bench, reading a newspaper at times and nodding at otliers, while the clerk hud more than he could do to sign the certifi cates as rar-idly as they were presented. Then a dozen tipstaves, regulars and Irregulars, were en gaged to do the swearing of the applicant and his voucher. But how different this morning! Judges Ludlow and Stroud occupied their seats with the dignity and grace becoming their positions, and each applicant underwent a rigid examination, not by the tipstave or the clerk, but by the Judge himself. Nor did the clerk affix his signature to the document, but the name of his Honor was written, and by himself. No chance was afforded for fraud being practised, nor were vouchers given an oppor tunity to make dollars by wholesale swearing to the identification of any one who might come along. The applicant and his voucher were made to appear before the bar of the court, and the clerk first ad ministered the oath to tell the whole truth touching the matter before the Court. The Judge would then Interrogate him about as follows: Do you know the applicant? What's his name? How long have you known him? How long has he been a resident of the United States? How loug has he resided in this State? What's his character? Does he understand the difference between a mo narchical and a republican rorm of government? Which does he prefer? Is he sufficiently acquainted with the Constitution of the United stales to understand the principles or a free government? These being answered satisfactorily, the applicant was then sworn and asked similar questions, and if his answers were satisfactory, the oath swearing realty to this Government, and renouncing forever all allegiance to any roreign power, potentate, or prince, and principally to that under which he was born, was administered by the Judge, who then plifced his signature on the certificate which he de clared should be issued. The vouchers as a general thing were or the intel ligent classes,and or course differed greatly rrora the Watsons, the Gentners, the Donohues, the McNultys, the Jacobs, the Mullins, the Palmers, the Snyders, and the Browns or Supreme Court notoriety. The Democracy, notwithstanding their assertions to the contrary, were busily engaged iu getting their foreign voters duly naturalized. A striking error has occurred in the proclamation which has been infilled by the Sheriff. Most people understand, rrom the provisions of the Registry act, that oillce-holders are prohibited, during their term or office, from exercising the otllce or appointment of Judge, Inspector, or Clerk of any election; but the Sheriff, or his attorney who mode up the proclii have decided otherwise, as will be seen in foTlbwm!1 whl,;u 18 appended to the pro nimciamento: "JVp(i' ( ,,:,., i,al evarv Daraon. exceotine Jui- . ,,,11111, win' -J v tic . ,i,a Peace. Military Officers, and Borouffh Oihcoii, who shall hold any office or appointments of proltt or trust uai'er the Uoveronient or tae uuidou otaras or or tnis State, or of any City or Incorporated District, whether a Ooinmissiontd Officer or otherwise, a subordinate umcer or fleni, wno is or saitii be employed under tae LeKislutive, ttxecut!va or Juciciury Department of thia State, or of the United Suites, or ol any Liny or incorporated uismci, ana aiso that ever' member ot Oonirress, and of the State Legisla ture, and of toe tselect or uoiiuuon i;mncns ot any (Joy, or Commissioners of any incorporated district, is by law in capable of holding-or exercising at the same time theofhee of Judge, Inspector, or Clerk of any election of tide Com- monweaiiu, ana tuai no inspector, ,iuuKe, or otneromcer of any such election shall be eligible to any office to be tnon voteo tor." Thia mistake is considered a ser onsone. and If possible should he corrected, or some action should be taken so that the Democracy may not avail themselves hereafter or the advantage of claiming thut the election was not valid. Exi'Ki.tF.n! The Fall-mount Fire Com nan, nr. a late special meeting, adopted the following resolu tions, which speak for themselves: Whrrnm, Gottloib Aides, at the time a member of this organization, having been detected by the police authori ties in stealing screral small articles, of no pecuniary value whatever, upon the occasion of the tire on Sunday morn ing hint, at No. 13:1 an,l lHj North Front street, thereby catting a stigma on the whole Fire Department, therefore, be it Hrmteeii . 1 nat too said t.ottleib Ahlcsbe, and he has forthwith been expelled from thin company. ttrMihed, That we return our thanks to the Police for their efficiency upon this occasion, and recommend t hem toact in like inaunor should ever an opportunity of tliia character again occur with any member weui-ing the equipments of this company.

A Present from Man Franciscans. From, the San Franciuco A Ua California, Sept. 8. Some six monthB since a number of gentlemen from various parts of the State, in no way affili ated with each other in political mutters, deter mined to make a present, however iusiuiflcant in value, to President Grant, in recognition of their estimation of his course as an honest and npriu;ht man. For the accomplishment of this result various committees were appointed in tho different counties. It was finally de cided that the present should take the shape of a chair of state worthy of nny sovereign in the world. Acting upon this idea, the Com mittee on Design and Purchase, nf ter several con sultations, left the matter almost entirely in the hands of Mr. N- P. Cole, of tho firm of N. P. Colo & Co. The result has been that probably the finest chair ever built in the civilized world has just been completed. Tho tr.ime of the chair, which is more than seven feet in height, is constructed entirely of California laurel, and and is most exquisitely carved iu excellent taslo. The fronts of the arms are supported by carved heads of grizzlies. The back, which is alto gether too straight for the reputed habits of the President, is supported by Corinthiun columns, on the top of which is a globe supporting an eagle. In the centre, and as a fore-piece, are the nation's shield, surrounded by a wreath and the national Hugs, all carved from the same wood. The back and scat are trimmed with tijpe broad-cloth of the, finest duality. 1 iiotliiiiff but the BedtlTes used la tno VH,.Z7m parts of the work that was not strictly of California manufacture. The matter of sending on to Washington this most extraordi nary work of California hag been delayed thus far by the Committee of Arrangenieuts simply from u wish to keep it back until all the new appointments have been made, that It might not 6cm in the least a political affair. The chair, the design and mukc-up of which will excite considerable attentiou, will be on exhibition at the Mechanics' Fair for several days, and will probably be forwarded to Its destination in about four weeks. IfAI'Tf. Thellee or Konnivea Ended -The Insurgents Hold the City Feara or Another Itevolt. Pokt-au-Pbince, Sept. 0 For the last few days the greatest excitement has prevailed In this city, owing to the fall or Uonalves and the arrival ot Cieu. Chevalier and the brave follows who, for 12 months, so gallantly defended thut town against the' attacks of the rebels besieging It. Chevalier as may be hi rerred rrom the extraordinary duration or the siege made a stubborn defense of Gonaives, but the rebel steamers Florida and Quuker City proved too much for him, and he was at length compelled to yield. These steamers bombarded the town for nine days, and as, during this time, no vessels could possibly enter the port, while on the land the besieging army completely hemmed in the besieged, preventing com munication with the country districts, the exhaus tion of his supplies left the Iiaytlen t.eneral no alter native but to surrender, tne garrison not being strong enough to cut Its way through the enemy's lines. It happened that during the bombardment the French corvette D'Jistrees was in the port of Uonaives, and through the mediation of tho com mander Of Uiat vessel the rebel chiefs consented to alloy,- Chevalier and his troops to evacuate the place with the honors of war, granting them six days' grace. Within 48 hours rrom tho capitulation the troops had embarked on several small vessels, taking with them their arms, baggage, etc.. Chevalier and his suite being received ou board the U'Kstrees. Immediately upon his arrival here, Chevalier pro ceeded to the palace and demanded the instant re signation or the Ministers, on the ground that their failure to afford him relief so as to enable him to continue the defense of Gonaives had-led to the fall of that place. President Salnave was away atAux Cuyes at the time, and, as may be Imagined, this strange demand startled everybody, many persons seeing lu it the signal or another revolution In Port-au-Prince, as the Ministers refused to abandon their posts while Chevalier had the soldiers he had brought with him from Gonavies at his back. With out loss of time a despatch was sent to Salnave In forming him or the state or art airs, and upon receiving It the President at once left the camp at Aux Cuyes, travelling overland day and night, and arriving here on the 7 ill lust., to the surprise of every one. He round Chevalier determined and affairs critical; so yielding to circumstances he could not possildy con trol he at once set to work to reconstruct the min istry, going so far In conciliating Chevalier as to place lilro at the head of the administration as Min ister or War. 'the new Cabinet, on which two of the members of the old Ministry have a place, stands as follows: Cleneral Chevalier, Minister of war; Hypo lite, General Police; L'And Duval, Interior; N.8.
