In the matter of the suit brought by the Attor-
ney-General against the Lafayette Fire Insurance
Company and Mr., Herbert Giroux, its president,
Mr.. Chauncey Schafler yesterday moved in tho
supreme Court Brooklyn, before Judge Gilbert,
that the people be required TO make the mpaint
more definite. 1t is charged that the directors Of
the company draw money from 1t; that they own
but one sixth of the stock and that the president
has lent himself the company's money on very in
sufficient security. Judge Gilbert said II was irreg
ular for an officer of company to borrow its
money.
"This man Giroux,' said ex- Congressman John
G. Schumacher, has taken these risks (aludiug
10 an allegation that money was lent on distant
secuTiLcs) In direct opposition 20 - ly,svn or
tho board of directors. He snaps his fingers at this
resolution and does as lie pleases."
That's not sO," shouted Mr.. Schafier; there's
no Credit Mobilier about this matter"
There's plenty of Credit Mobilierin It," angrily
replied Mr.. Schumacher
"NO, sir" said Schaffer; "Iny client does no
Credit Mobilier business, and has not had to take
Il trip to Europe, Us the gentleman had"
"lf the gentleman means to say" roared Schu-
machor," that had anything TO do with Credit
Moblier, he's liar, that's all there Is about that

about this is not that the able editor Of
so many papers should get little con-
fused but that he should utter a mistake
with so strong Fifteenth-street accent.
Those who speak for Mr.. Blaine should
remember that il was only in the event
that Chilli failed to restore Calderon TO
Steve Hurlbut's embrace that Mr.. Trcscot
was to bite his thumb at that naughty
power in token of our Governments dis
pleasure.
The Shipherd letters embrace the
names of all to whom he chose to adj
dress his circular os president of the
Peruvian Company. All who were thus
honored are by him referred TO rs persons
with whom he had opened negotiations.
The letters to Shipherd are less interest
ing than would be the replies. If the
lost letters could only be found it would
aid in the general inquiry.
We do not choose TO infer anything
to the detriment of men then in
office from anything said by Ship
herd, who seems somewhat visionary
ana spnsmodic. But, considering the
fiery zeal of Hurlbut for Caldcron, in
whose fortunes Shipherd also seems to
have taken so deep an interest, it would
be more satisfactory if we could see some
indignant replies by Hurlbut to Ship.
herds somewhat familiar letters, dated
n little earlier than December 81. That
Hurlbut was indignant toward Shiphcrd
on the 9th of December is made certain
by the following language he then ad-
dressed him:
have tried as far as could TO make you under.
stand that cannot have, and ought not TO have,
anything TO do with your company or yourself
But how did he try? Could it have
been otherwise than by letter? And
where ore the letters? Then, too, how
much was known at the State Depart
ment during the summer and fall as to
the correspondence between llurlbut and
Shipherd? And at what time did Mr..
Blaine find it necessary to admonish
Hurlbut TO slow down the grindstone on
which the axes of private claimants were
being ground?
