A bid received after tbe last day and hour named, or without tbe guarantee required by law, or that com bines several routes iu one sum of compensation, cannot be considered in competition with a regular proposal rea sonable in amount. 12. Bidders should, first propose Kir service strictly ac cording to the advertisement, and then if they desire, separately for different service ; and if tbe regular bid oe tne lowest ouerea ior me aarenisea service, me out er propositions may be considered. ' 13. There should be but' one route bid for in a propo- ai. '"". .'---- , " - - - " -rr r-- 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, tbe name and residence of tbe bidder, (that is bis usual post oGice address.) and those of each tnemtier of a firm, -n-here a companj offers, should be distinctly stated; also tbe mode of conveyance if a higher mode than horseback be intend ed. The words "with due celerity, certainty, and secu rity," inserted to indicate the mode of conveyance, will constitute a irar ota. w nea a star dm is intended, no specific conveyance must be named. But in case two modes of conveyance, are named at the same cumppnsa lion, the highest or best for the service will betaken. 15. Bidders are requested to use as far as practicable, the printed form or proposal luruishaa by the depart' ment, to write out irf lull tbe sum of their bids, and to retain copies or tb&n. . . Altered bids should not be submitted nor should bids once submitted be withdrawn. - 1 Eacb bid must be guaranteed by two responsible perr eons." ... , . . General guarantees cannot be admitted. Tbe bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of eacti person. The department reserves the rlijht to reject any bid which may be deemed extravagant; and alsw to disre gard the bids of failing contractors and bidders. 16. 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 f and postnasters will not enclose proposals (or letters of any kind) iu their quarterly to-. turns. 17. The contracts are to be executed and returned to. tbe department by or before the 1st day of August, 1856; but the service must be commenced on tbe first July pre ceding, or the mail day next after that date, whether tbe contracts be executed or not. Ko proposition to trans fer will be considered until the contracts are executed and received at the department; snd then no transfer will be allowed, unless good and sufficient reasons there for are given, to be determined by tbe department. In all cases the retiring Contractor will be required to be come one of the sureties on tbe new contract. 13. Postmasters at offices onor near railroads, but more than eighty rods from a station, will immediately after the 31sl of ilarcb next, report their exact distance from tbe nearest station, and how they are otherwise suppliod with the mail to enable tbe Postmaster General to direct a mail-messenger supply from the first of July next. 19: Section 18 of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1845, provides that contracts for the transportation of tbe mails shall be let in every case to the lowest bidder ten dering autneient guarantees for tbe faithful performance, without other reference to the modo of such transporta tion than may be necessary to provide for tbe due celerity, certainty and-security of such transpotation. Under this law a new description of bids have been received. They do not specify a mode of convey&nce, but engage to take tbe entire mail each trip with certainty, celerity and se curity , using the terms of tbe law. These bils are styl ed from the manner in which they are designated on the book of the department, star bids, and they will be con strued as provKiing for tbe couveyance of the entlae mail, however large, and whatever may t the mode necessary to insure its celerity, certainty and security. In ail cases where the lowest grade of service is be lieved to be sufficient, the lowest lid will be accepted in preference to a star or specific bid. When the lowest bid is not a star bid, and specifies eith er no mode or an tnadquate mode of conveyance; it will not be accepted, but set asiJe for a specific bid proposing the necessary service. when 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, tbe last hour ret for receiving bids. v 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the suflioiency of guarantors, or sureties, without knowing that tbey are persons of sufficient responsibility ; and all bidders, gurantors, and sureties are distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into or perform the contrasts for the scrvico proposed for in the accepted bids, their le gal liabilities will be enforced against thorn. 22. Present contractors, and persons known at tbe de partment must equally with others, procuje guarantors and certincates of tbeir suitlc ency substantial !y io the forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency must be signed by a postmaster or by a J mice of a court of record. A. V. BHOWX, . Postmaster General. . Porter's Spirit of the Times. General Purchasing Agency. THE constantly increasing demand upon us to execute commissions for the purchase of ail kinds of articles; both for residents and non-residents of the city, hasfinduced us to establish, in connection with our newspaper enter prise, a . .
