The Postmaster General also curtail or discontinue the service, at pre de crease of pay, allowing one month’s extra com- pensation on the amount dispensed with, whenever in his opinion the public interests do not require the same, or in case he desires to supersede it bya differ- ent grade of transportation. 8 Payments will be mate for the service by collec tiona from, or drafts on postmastera, or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter—say in Febru- _ May, August,aud November. . The distamees are given according to the best information; but no increased pay will be allowec should they be greater than advertised, if the pointe to be supplied be correctly stated. Bidders must in- form themselves on this point. 10. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law from knowingly making a contract for the transpor tation of the maiis with any person who shall have entered into, or proposed to enter into, any combina- tion to prevent the waking of any bid for a mai) contract by any other person or persons, or who shall have made any agreement, or shall have given or performed, or promised to give or perform, any consideration whatever, or to do or not ty do any- thing whatever, in order to induce any other person or perrons not to bid fora msil contract. Particular attention is called to the 28th section of the act of 1836, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. ll, A bid received after time, viz: 3 pm of the 16th May, 1855, or without the guaranty required by law, or that combines several routes in one sum Of compensation, cannot be considered in competition With a regular proposal reasonable in amount. 12. Bidders should, in all cases, first propose for service strictly according to the advertisement, and then, if they desire, separately for diiferent service; and if the r-gu/ar bid be the lowest offered for the advertised services, the other bids may be considered; if thealterations proposed are recommended hy the postmasters and citizens interested, orif they shal! appear manifestly right and proper. 13, There should be but one route bid for in s roposal. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the naine and residence of the bilder, and those of each member of a firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly stated, also"the mode of conveyance, if a higher mode than horseback be intended. The words “with due celerity, certainty, and seeurity,” in-erted to indicate the mode ef conveyance, will constitute a “star bri.” 15.

Section 15 of an act of Congress, approved March 2, 1845, provides that contracts for the tran= portation of the muilsha!l be let, “in every case to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaranties tor faithful per without other reference tc the mode of portation than may be neces ch te sary to provide for the due evlerity, certainty, and security of such tra riation.” Under this law a uew description of bids haz been received. It dees not specify a mode of conveyance, but engages to take the entire mail each trip with celerity, certain- ty, and security, using the terms of the law. These bids are styled, from the manner in which they are designated on the books of the Department, bids.” anvil they will be construed a» providing neil, howerer large, and whotever onwyaner necessary to insure its >; and security.” In all cases where the lowest grade of service is believed to be sufficient, the lowest bid will he accep ted, if duly guarantied, in preference to a “ star” or specific bid. When the lowest bid is not a star bid, and specifies either no mode or .n inadequate mode of conveyanee, it will not be accepted, but sot aside for a specific bid g the nerassary i a the bil does veyancs, also, when it proposes to carry “according Lut without such specification it will be considered as 4 propose! for horseback ser- vice. 19.

Postmasters are to be careful not to certity the sufficiency of guarautors or sureties without knowing that they are persons of sufficieut respon- sibility ; and ail bidders, guarantors, and sureties are distinctly notified that on 2 failure to enter into or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids their legal liabilities will be en- forced againet them. 21.
