The Very --latest from Washington,

WASHINGTON, Feb 28.-1bcmas appeared with
his counsel Judge Carter issued subpoena for
Stanton, with his commission and other documents
Stanton = lawyers asked for pos tponemcnt; Thorn
as lawyers objected His bail surrendered him,
and he was prisoner Habeas Corpus was de-
mandsd, but Judge Carter told Thomas to 60
hence This closes the matter unless the grand
jury takes cognizance.
Impeachment article Of the House committee has
been examined by Gen Emery. Serious differences
are reported in the committee. The idea that RAD
iotl troubles are thickening prevails, though 10
tangible facts TRANSFERRED.
Stanton, announced in response to his subpoena,
that he would obey at noon, but as the case was
thrust out of court, no further proceedings were
had. .., In Senate, certain routine of resolu-
tons regarding impeachment passed. Several
Senators having doubts about conviction for viola
tion of tenure -of-ofice bill, the charges will Ell
brace seven or eight counts.
The discharge Of Thomas was jnyfuy reoevul
by the friends Of the President. and Democrats
generally. They are confident that the deposition
Of the President AS has been announced by the
Radicals, can never be accomplished, for a great
many reasons which it would be inprudSnt to gire
publicity to.
Notwithstanding the excitement is Enthusiastically
abating, tn troops are still under aims as if the
Stanton party apprchended an attack Parties in
the confidence OF prominent Democrats say fifty
thousand men could have been placed in Washing

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
TO EVERGREEN LODGE NO. So. 1o.o.F

One by one the members of this Lodge are pass
ing away. Our first members and co laborers in
the good work Of our beloved Order are nearly all
gone.
He whose fiat is never resisted who controls all
things mortal on the earth, does not permit joy to
be uncommingled with grief and sorrow.
In His wisdom He has, translated forever from
this community one of its most honored citizens,
from our Lodge room one of its most beloved,
brightest and worthy members.
Your Committee, in the discharge Of their Off
cial duty, with melancholy announce to the Lodge
that our beloved JAMES e. MHOON has closed his
career on earth.
He died at his residence in this county on the
10th inst, after lingering Illness in the full vgor
Of his manhood, at the age Of IS years
He was born in North Carolina, whence he was
removed 70 Alabama while an infant, where he re.
sided until 1853, when he removed to this county,
where he resided up to the time of his death. Be.
ing richly endowed with wealth, which he inherit,
cd, he preferred the quiet life of the planter
His domestic tastes welded him to his elegant
aud hospltabIe home he preferred It's sweet aud
halloUad associations to anything ambition might
have prompted him to seek, or his talents entitled
HIM to aspire to in political life.
He was always found at the post where duty
called him, as a citizen and an Odd Fellow, and
what was required Of him he always did well.
He was a devoted Christian the virtues which
should characterize the truly pious were beautiful
ly and meebly shown in every act Of his Christian
life but to those who knew lim best in that re.
lation, we leave the duty Of commemoating his
Christian life aud virtues.
He was modest but firm genial and cordial in
bis manners an atiectionate husband ana parent,
He has gone from among us forever. He lies ere
this in his untimciy grave where he gamb0Ied in
jnfaucy, in the bosom Of his beloved Alabama.
Fhe hrcezes Of bis native South will never whisper
their sott'reqaicm over the grave Of pgrer. gent
