This we do, understanding distinctly the obliga tions and liabilities assumed by guarantors under the 27th section of the act of Congress of July 2, 1836. (Signed by two guarantors.) Dated CERTIFICATE. The undersigned, postmaster at State of .certifies, under his oath of office, that he is acquainted with the above guarantors, and knows them to be men of property, and able to make good their guarantee. Signed.) Dated. Tne above certificate must have affixed to it a five- cent revenue stamp, cancelled, as the law requires. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS AND POSTMAS TERS , Containing also conditions to be incorporated tn the contracts to the extent the Department may dtem proper. 1. Seven minntes are allowed to each intermediate office, when not otherwise specified, for assorting the mails; but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to be no more delay than is sufficient for on exchange of the mail pouches. 2. On railroad and steamboat lines, and other routes where the mod 9 of conveyance admits of it, the spedfal agents of the Post Office department, also post office blanks, mail bags, locks and keys, are to be conveyed without extra charge. 3. On railroad ana steamboat lines the route agents of the department, also the British and Canada mails, when offered, and the agents accompanying them- are to be conveyed without charge, and for the use of the United States agents a commodious car, or apart ment in the centre of the car, properly lighted, warm, ed, and furnished and adapted to the convenient sepa - ration and due security of the mails, is to be provided by the contravtvr, under the direction of the depart ment. Railroad and steamboat companies are required to take the mail from and deliver it unto the post offices at the beginning and end of their rontes, and to and from all offices not more than eighty rods from a station or landing. Proposals may be submitted by the com panies for the performance of all other side service— that is, for offices over eighty’ rods from a station or landing. There will be “way-bills” prepared by postmasters, or other agents of the depanment, to accompany the mails conveyed on railroads and steamers, specifying the number ami destination of the several bags. On other principal routes, like wise, receipts will be required and way-bills forwared , the latter to be examined by the several postmasters, to insure regularity in the de livery of mails. 4. No pay will be made for tripe not performed; and for each of such omissions not satisfactorily explained, three times the pay of the trip may be deducted.— For arrivals so far behind time as to break connexion with depending mails, and not sufficiently excused, one' fourth of the compensationffor the trip is subject to for feiture. For repeated delinquencies of the kind herein specified, enlarged penalties, proportioned to the na ture thereof ana the importance of the mail, may be made. 5. For leaving behind or throwing off the mails, or any portion of them, for the admission of passengers, or for being concerted in setting up or running an ex press conveying intelligence in advance of the mail, a quarter’s pay may be deducted. 6. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be promptly and satisfactorily explained by certificates of postmasters or the affidavits of other credible per sons, for failing to arrive in contract time; for neglect ing to take the mail from, or deliver it unto, a post office ; for suffering it to be wet, injured, destroyed, robbed, or lost; and for refusing, after demand, to convey the mail as frequently as the contractor runs, or is concerned in ruuniug, a coach, car, or steamboat on a route. 7. The Postmaster General may annul the contract for repeated failures to run agreeably to contract; for violating the post office laws, or disobeying the instruc tions of the department; for refusing to discharge a carrier when required by the department to do so; for running an express as aforesaid; or for transporting persons or packages coaveying mailable matter out of the mail. 8. The Postmaster General may order an increase of service on a route by allowing therefor a pro rata increase on the contract pay. He may change sched ules of departures and arrivals in all cases, and par ticularly to make them conform to connexions with railroads, without increase of pay, provided the run ning time be not abridged. 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 -n the case of increase of speed, relinquish the contract, by giving prompt notice to the department that he prefers doing so to carrying the order into effect. The Postmaster General may also discontinue or curtail the service, in whole or in part, in order to place on the route a greater degree of service, or whenever the public interests, in his judgment, shall require such discontinuance or curtailment for any other cause; he allowing as a full indemnity to contractor one month’s extra pay on the amount of service dispensed with, and a pro rata compensation for the amount of service retained and continued. 9. Payments will be made by collections from or drafts ou postmasters, or otherwise, after the expira tion of each quarter—say in May. August, November, and February. 10. The distances are given according to the best information; but no increased pay will be allowed should they be greater than advertised, if the points to be supplied are correctly stated. Bidders must in form themselves on this point, and also in reference to ttie weight of the mail, the condition of roads, hills, streams, See., and all toll bridges, ferries, or obstruc tions of any kind by which expense may be incurred. No claim for additional pay, based on such ground, can be considered; nor for alleged mistakes or misap- S rehension as to the degree of service; nor for bridges estroyed, ferries discontinued, or other obstructions increasing distance, occurring during the contract term. Offices established after this advertisement is issued, aud also during the contract term, are to be visited without extra pay, if the distance be not in creased. 11. Bidders are cautioned to mail their proposals in time to reach the department by the day and hour named, (3 p. m. January 29, 1866,) for bids received after that time will not Jbe considered in competition with a bid of reasonable amount received in time.— Neither can bids be considered which are without the guarantee required by law and a certificate of the sufficiency of such gurantee. 12. Bidders should first propose for service strictly according to the advertisement, and then if they desire separately for different service ; and if the regular bid be the lowest offered for the advertised service, the other propositions may be considered. 13. There should be but one ronte bid for in a propo sal. Consolidated or combination bids (“proposing one sum for two or more routes”) are forbidden by law, and cannot be considered. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name and residence of the bidder, (that is, nis usual post office address,) and those of each member of a firm where a company offers, should be distinctly stated. 15. Bidders are requested to use. as far as practica ble, the printed proposals furnished by the department, to write oat in fall the sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them. Altered bids slionld not be submitted; nor should bids ouce submitted be withdrawn. No withdrawal of a bidder or guarantor will be allowed unless the with drawal is dated and received before the last day for receiving proposals. Eacli bid must be guaranteed by two responsible persons. The 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. 10. The hid 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; and postmasters will not enclose proposals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly returns. 17. The contracts are to be executed and returned to the department by or before the 1st day of July, 1866; but the service must be began on that day, or on the mail day next after 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 General to direct a mail-messenger supply from the 1st of July next. 19. Section 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 for faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of such transportation than may 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, certainty, and security," having been decided to be the only legal bids, are construed as providing for the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the mode of conveyance necessary to insure its “celerity, cer tainty, and securityand have the preference over all others, and no others are considered. 20. A modification of a bid in any of its essential terms is tantamount to a new bid, ana cannot be re ceived, so as to interfere with regular competition, af ter the last hour set for receiving bids. Making a new bid, with guarantee aud certificate, is the only way to modify a previous bid. 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of gurantors or sureties without knowing that they are persons of sufficient responsibility; a disregard of this instruction by postmasters is a vio lation of their oath of office, subjecting them to im mediate removal. All bidders, 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 the forms above prescribed. The certificate of suf ficiency must be signed by a postmaster, or by a judge of a oourt of record. No other will be admitted. The certificate must also have affixed to it a five-cont rev enue stump, cancelled, as required by law. W. DENNISON, 11 4t Postmaster General. GEORGIA, Wilkinson Connty.
