The contractor may, however, in the case of increase oi speed, relinquish the contract Dy iivintf prompt ikwwj w Die department that he prefers uoing so w ij'"s der into cliect. The Postmaster ueuerai may aiso curii or discontinue the service, lu whole or in pari, ai pro r decrease or pay, allowing oue mouth's extra compensation on the amouut dispensed with, whenever in his opinion the public interests require the cnangc, or in case ue uc sires to supercede it by a ditfereiit grade of trausporta- '"payments will be made by collections from, or drafts on postmasters or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter say in February, May, August and No vember. . i , . 10. The distances are given according to tne Desi iuior- malion ; but no increased pay win oe auowoa suouiu iuvj be greater than advertised, if the points to be supplied be correctly stated, iiidder must tnjorm. inemaeivtM on tM point: and also iii reference to the weight of the mail, the condition of tho roads, hills, streams, ate., and all toll-bridges, ferries, or obstructions of any kind by which expenses may be incurred, a o claim for addition al pay based on such grounds, can be considered i nor for alleged mistakes or. uiisapprehettmn'as so th'etlesree of service; nor for bridges destroyed, or other obstructions increasing distance, occurring during the contract term, oniccs established arter this advertisement is issued, and also during the contract term; are to bo visited without extra pay if the distance be not increased. 11. A bid received s'tcr the last day anu nour nameo, or without the guarantee required by law, or that com bines several routes iu ore sum of compensation, cannot bo considered in competition with a regular proposal rea sonable iu amount. li. Bidders should first propose for service strictly ac cording to the advertisement, and then if they desire, scparatedly for dillerent service ; and if the regular bid bo the lowest onerea lor tne auvertiseu service, tneou er propositions may be considered. 13. There should De dui one route dio ror in a propo sal. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name and residence cf the bidder, (that is his usual post office address,) and those of each member of a firm, where a com pan offers, should be distinctly stated; also the mode of conveyance if ahigher mode than horseback be intend ed. The words "with due celerity, certainty, and secu ritv " inserted to indicate the mode of conveyance, will constitute a ar bid. When a star bid. is intended, no specific conveyance must be named. But in cam two modes of conveyance are named at the samp compensa tion, the highest or best for the service will be taken. 15. Bidders are requested to use as far as practicable, the printed form of proposal furnished by the depart ment, to write out in lull the sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them. Altered bids should not bo submitted nor 6hould bids once submitted be withdrawn. Each bid must bo guaranteed by two responsible per sons. General guarantees cannot b admitted. Tho bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of each person. The department reserves the right to reject any bid which may be deemed extravagant; and also to disre gard the bids of failing contractors and bidders. 15. The bid should be sealed, superscribed "Mail Pro posals, State of ," addressed Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract office, and sent by mail, not by or to an agent; and posmasters will not enclose proposals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly re turns. ' - ' ' 17. The contracts are to be executed and returned to the department by or before the 1st day of August, 1858, but the service must be commenced on the first July pre ceding, or the mail day next after that date, whether the contracts be executed or not. Ao proposition to trans for will be considered until the contracts are executed and received at the department; and then no transfer will be allowed, unless good and sufficient reasons there for are given, to bo determined by the department. In all cases the retiring contractor will be required to be-' come one of the sureties on the new contract. 18. Postmasters at offices on or near railroads, but more than eighty rods from a station, will immediately after tho 31st of March next, report their exact distance from the nearest station, and how they are otherwise supplied with the mail to enable the Postmaster General to direct a mail-messenger supply from the first, of July next. 1.9. Section IS of an act of Congress approved March 3. lSi5, provides that contracts for the transportation of the mails shall be let in every case to the lowest bidder ten dering aufficient guarantees for the faithful performance. witnoui otner rererence to tne mode of such transporta tion than mayjje necessary to provide for the due celerity. certainty and security of such transpotation. Under this law a new description of bids nave been received. They do not specity a mode of conveyance, but engage to take the entire mail each trip with certainty, celerity and se curity, using the terms of the law. Those bids are styl ed from the manner in which they are designated on the books of the department, star bids, and they will be con strued as providing for the.couveyance of the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the mode necessary to insure its celerity, certainty and security. Ia all cases where the lowest grade of service is be lieved to be sufficient, the lowest bid will be accepted In preference to a star or specific bid. - ' - - V hen the lowest bid is not a star bid, and specifies eith er no mode or an inadquate mode of conveyance, it will not be accepted, but set aside for a specific bid proposing tne necessary service. m hen the bid does not specify a mode of conveyance: also when it proposes to carry "according to the adver tisement," but without such specification, it will be con sidered as a proposal for horseback service. 20. A modification of a bid in any of its esseetial terms is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, so as to interfere with a regular competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids. 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of guarantors, ot sureties, without knowing that they are persons of sufficient responsibility; and all bidders, gurantors, and sureties are distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids, their le gal liabilities will be enforced against thom. 22. Present contractors, and persons known at the de partment must equally with others, procuje guarantors and certificates of their sufflc ency substantially in the rorms above prescribed. The certificateH of sufficiency must be signed by a postmaster or by a judge of a court of record. A. V. BROWN. . Postmaster General. Groceries ! Groceries ! ! Fresh Arrivals ! Heavy Additions ! !
