tbe entire mail each trip with certainty, celerity and se
curity , using the terms of tbe law. These bils are styl

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, .
