Cfncers-Address by Professor Gilman.
The American Geographical ana Historical Society
held their annual meeting last evening, In their
rooms at the Cooper Institute, the president, Pro-
fessor Daily, presiding. Owing doubtless to the in.
clement condition Of the weather there was not
nearly SO large gathering OF members and visitors
as Is usual upon such an OCCASION ana this
is greatly to be regretted as the annual
address delivered by Professor Gilman upon "The
Last Ten Years OF Geographical Work in this Coun-
tryn was o rare intellectual treat-one that the
citizens of the metropolis may not again for long
time have an opportunity OF hearing Before the
Professor commenced his remarks the various off,

MEMPHIS, Jan. 81, 1871.
The Avalanche has a special despatch, dated
yesterday, which says that since the meeting OF the
Convention nothing Of interest has occurred Much
interest is manifested by all classes In the swearing
OF Brooks on Thursday by the Lieutenant Governor.
From twelve O'Clock noon on Sunday until mid
night the Clayton men were IN caucus. Even
the Governor and the Supreme and Circuit Court
judges were present. celebrating as to the proper
course to pursue. The friends of Johnson seemed
to know that some trap would be sprung upon them
to-day. Before the hour for the Senate to convene
the Chief OF Police, with his entire force marched
into the Senate Chamber and the men were posted
in advantageous positions In the galleries and lobby.
BY whose order they came no one seemed to know,
and the Lieutenant Governor alone authorized the
call. Sucn aid had not been asked for. Radical
Senators looked grave and thoughtful as though
some desperate deed was about to be done. When
not Mr Mallory called the Senate to or
der, and on his motion the body adjourned until to-
morrow. 1t was understood that the police were
present to eject Mr.. Brooks by force If he attempted
to enter the Chamber, but he did not appear.
After tho Senate adjourned the House was con-
vened and the journals were read. Immediately
Mr.. Hazeitine Chairman OF the committee appointed
to inquire into malfeasance in oice OF any officers
in the executive or judicial departments OF the
State, arose to privileged question and submitted
report with articles OF impeachment against tho
Lieutenant Governor for high crimes and misde.
meanor, because OF his conduct In swearing Mr..
Brooks as Senator over Mr.. Meade. Objections were
raised, that before taking his seat and before the
moved the Previous question: and several % me.abers
raised the point OF order that tho resolution could
not he entertained now, but, under the rules,
ruled al out Of order, and. without per-
mitIing any members TO say anything ordered the
roll 10 be called. The result was 80 to 80. So the
previous question was not ordered. The people in
the lobby and gallery immensely applauded when
the result was arrived at.
The House then adjourned until two o'clock to.
morrow amid the widest shouts OF applause.
Cheer after cheer was raised in the hall and out
side, both among the members and among. the
spectators This is the first defeat the Governors
party has yet sustained. From the present signs
you need not be surprised to learn that all these
troubles Will end in boodshed. The PASSIONS OF
each party are strung 70 the highest pitch.

Taxes Paid by the National Banks.

Mr.. Garfield, in correcting q mis-
representation Friday rs to the taxes
paid by the National Banks, stated,
from the official report of the Comp
troller, showing that during the year
"the National Banking Associations
of the United States, not so many
then us now, paid the sum OF $18,-
338, 1334 % as taxes to the United
States and States authorities, which
was equal to 4 332-1000 per cent. on
the entire capital Of these National
Banking Associations. Now, if gen
tlemen say that A per cent. is not a
reasonably sufficient tax on any kind
OF property in tne country. except it
be upon such luxuries as whisky, to-
bacco and cigars, very we'll; cannot
agree with them. There is general
tax on these banks, which they are
compelled to pay monthly. They
pay a tax on their circulation, and
they Pay a tax on their deposits.
They have also to pay special tax
in the nature of a license for carry
ing on their business. And, in ad-
dition to all that, in the forty first
section of the law creating the nation
al banking system, they are taxed for
the very purpose of paying, not only
for the engraving of these llates and
printing of these notes, but for the
entire expenses of the running of the
Currency Bureau in the Treasury De
partment. Of that last tax imposed
on the national banking associations
for the purpose Of printing these
notes there are now in the Treasury
Department lying unexpended sur
plus of something like eight millions
dollars. 1t is expressly provided
that the engraving and printing OF
these notes shall be paid ont of this
fund, and l cannot see what justice
there is in taxing the banks twice for
the same purpose

The President Sustained.

President Grant has been peculiar
ly fortul ate in his recommendations to
Congress. Tn some instances his
views Of public policy have met with
decided opposition in the Republican
ranks when first presented, but the
sober second thought has resulted in
their endorsement. This was peculi-
arly true of the San Domingo case
and of his recommendation for the
adoption of measure for the pro-
lection of loyal people in the South
ern States.
On the San Domingo question,
there is no Disgusting the fact that
very many Republican journals were
opposed to the policy adopted by the
Administration, basing their opposi-
ton upon the statements of those
from whom they had a right to ex
peet the faets. But now, einee the
President has made plain statement
of his acts, there is not a Repub-
ican journal in the entire country. so
far as we can learn, tat does not
heartily endorse his action and feel
greater confidence in the wisdom and
integrity Of the President than ever
