- This Mr.. Brayman seems to have been guilty
OF more than roebng the post office About a
week ago we received letfer.ffom him encIos-
Ing twelve or fourteen bills on the Stock Bank of
jamestown, which he said belonged to the
WIDOW OF poor printer, and asked US to ex-
change them at the best rates we could for Cur
Iency, and send the proceeds to him On show
ing them to our bankers, we found not only that

counterfeit We suspect that the widow OF a

the exchange, If we had been able to effect it
we sent the bills back as they came, with note

ter without serious damage. In addition to the
liberal aid and guarantees afforded by the Gov

the private subscriptions have been large. Upto
the 3Oth June, tat which time the balance sheet
had been made up,) f2l3, i93 of the capital had
been paid up; out of this, fl91 $3.50 had been ex-
pended, and balance of fl67, go remained to

large balance of capital, there are to be deducted
the expenses of the five weeks between June 80

R1sH DEvELoPMENTa-The Washington cores
pondent of the Albany argus and Atlas thus al
ludeg to the late correspondence between Gere.I
Scott and the Secretary Of War:
1t is promised that the forthcoming correspon-
depce between the War Department and General
Scott elected by the call OF the Senate will con-
tain some charming revelations, exhibiting not
only the usual rscy character Of the Generals cor
resDondence, but showing up the hero of hun
dred battles" in the new light Of sharp fnBucier
speculstor. money-getter, or whatever you please
to term him, after you get the facts. We have
been wrong in supposing that the General went to
Mexico solely with an eye to glory; It seems that
while with one eye be squinted at the applause Of
the world he kept the other fixed sharply and sue
cessfuly on the ''mAin chance.
To cut the matter short Lieut. General Scott,
besides his pay, charged two and halt per cent
commission on all moneys which passed through
his hands as Commander in-Chitf Of our army n
Mexico; an tbs handsome gratuity was allowed
and psid by the Fillmore Administration. Charm
ed with this easy mode Of putting money IN his
purse, General Scott increased this COMMISSION on
the accession of General Pierce, to three per cent,
and obtained il from the Army Paymaster. The
allowance was disputed by the present Secretary
of War, and President Pierce refused to allow the
commission, charging it back, where it bad been
paid, to General SCOTS account TIE nice little
sum of $4,000 stands thus charged against Lieut.
General Scott at the War Office aud this Is one Of
the Doipts of difficulty between the doughty Gen
ersl and the Secretary Of War.
I am assured that Scott, with his money bags
and three per cent commissions, makes no less DIS
tinguisbed appearance than Scott lifting to his
mouth that "plate of hasty soup. The cores
poudence will appear shortly.

FEMALE LOBBY MENBERs.-In classifying the
lobby members of Congress, writes s oorrespon-
dent of the New York Herald, the female repre-
sentatives Of the "third house" occupy no unim-
portsnt position Indeed, I may say that one ex-
perienced female lobbyists equal in point Of iDfu-
encs to any three schemers Of the other sex with
whom am acquainted. Every season draws to
Washington q number Of those feminine birds Of
passage, as well as prey, and you find their names
at Wiard's Browns, and the National, or where
ever members most do congregSte; and not great
measure comes before Congress that they do lot
have an important if not q conspicuous Finger in
the pie" Their interest is secured for eli schemes
private and public, for lobbying through private
bills and public Gcts for the extension of patent
or the granting Of an indefinite number of acres
Of public lands for private speculative purposes
Woman's influence has often secured the attend
ance Of q member when his vote was sure and
reeded, and her destinations have been exsrted
when it was necessary that an opposition vote
should be absent from the House. Many poor
member has braved the censure Of his constituents
and neglected his duty for the poor recompense Of
an hours tets a tsts with al empty smile from q
pretty, perssvering fast and fascinating woman.
Be sure the female lobby member deserves consid.
Grafton while treating upon. the system which sf-
lords her q stage to act upon.
