He may also order an in crease of speed, allowing, within the restrictions of the law, a pro rata increase of pay for the additional stock or carriers, if any. The contractor may, however,«« the. case of inert use of speed, re |: nquisii the contract, by giving prompt noth:e to the department that in- prefers doing so to carrying the order into effect. The Postmaster General mnv also discontinue or curtail the service, in whole or in part, in order to place or the route a greater degree of service, or whenever the public interests, in liis judgment, shall require such discontinuance or curtai.inent for any other cause: lie allowing as a full indemnity to contractor one mouth’s extra pay on the amount of set vice dispensed with, and a pro rata compensation for the amount of service retained and continued. 9.

There should be but one route bid for in a propo sal. Consolidated or combination bills (“proposing one sum for two or more routes”) are forbidden by law and cannot be considered. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, £he name and residence of the bidder, (that is, liis* usual post office address,) and those of each member of a firm where a company offers, should be distinctly stated. 45. Bidders are requested to use. as far as practica ble, the printed proposals furnished by the department, to write out in full tee sum of their bids, aud to retain copies of them. Altered bids should not be submitted; nor should bids once submitted be withdrawn. No withdrawal of a bidder or guarantor wi" be a''owed unless the with drawal is dated and received Ijefore the last day for receivin'^ proposals. Each oia must be guaranteed by two Responsible persons. The bid nnd guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of each person. The department reserves the rignt to reject any bid which may be deemed extravagant, and also to disre gard the bids of failing contractors and bidders. 16. The bid should be sealed, superscribed “Mail Proposals, State of Georgia,” addressed “Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract office,” and sent by mail, not by or to an agent; acd postmasters will not enclose proposals (or Tetters of aDy kind) in their quarterly returns. 17. The contracts are to be executed and returned to the department by or before the IsC day of July, 186t but the service must be begun on that day, or on the mad day next affer it, whether the contracts be exe cuted or not. Transfers of contracts, or of interest in contracts, are forbidden by law, and consequently cannot be al lowed. Bidders will therefore take notice that they will be expected to perform the service accepted to them through the whole term of the contract. 18. Postmasters at offices on or near railroads, but more than eighty rods from a station, will, immediate ly after the 30th of March next, report their exact dis tance from the nearest station, and how they are oth erwise supplied with the mail, to enable the Postmaster Geueral to direct a mail-messenger supply from the 1st of Julv next. 19. Suction eighteen of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1845, provides that contracts for the trans portation of the mail shall be let, ‘‘in every case, to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guarantees tor faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of Such transportation than umy be necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and security of such transportation.” Under this law, bids that pro pose to transport the mails with "celerity, certainly, and security," haring been decided to be the only legal bids, are consti red as proriding for the entire mad, hoicerrr large, and whatever may be the mode of conveyance necessary to insure its “celerity, cer tainty, and security,' 1 '’ and have the preference over all others, and no others are considered. 20. A modification of a bid in any of its essentia! terms is tantamount to a new bid, anil cannot be re ceived, so as to interfere with regular competition, al ter'the last hour set for receiving bids. Making a new bid, with guarantee and certificate, is the only way to modify a previous bid. 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of gurautors or sureties without knowing that they are persons of sufficient responsibility: a ng tu'il trf tnsi met ton oy postmasters is a vio lation of their oath of office, subjecting them to- im- A'l bilivicia, guarantors', and sure ties are distinctly notified that on a failure to enter in to or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities will be enforced against them. 22. Present contractors, and persons known at the department, must, equally with others, procure guar antors and certificates of their sufficiency substantially in tbe forms above prescribed. The certificate of suf ficiency must be signed by a postmaster, or by a judge ofa court 01 record. No other will be admitted. Too certificate must also have affixed to it n five-cent rev enue stamp, cancelled, as required by law. W. DENNISON, II 4t . Postmaster General. IS. HI.
