Particular attention is called # the 28th section of the act of 1836, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid received after time, vis: 3 pm ofthe 10th April, 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. 13. Bidders should, in sll cases, first propos for service strictly according to the advertisement, and then, if they desire, separately for different service ; end if the regular bid be the lowest offered for the a lvertised service, the other bids may be considerek if the alterations proposed are recommended by the postmasters and corer ge yaoi they shall a manifestly right proper.

Section an sct of Congress, approved March 3, 1845, provides that contracts for the trans portation of the mail shall be let, “in case to the lowest bidder sufficien! . enn for faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of such transportation than may be neow sary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and —yewnas d of such transportation.” Under this law anew cription of bids has been received. It does not specify a mode of conveyance, but epgages (0 take the entire mail esch trip with celerity, o-rtain- , and security, using the terms of the law. These are styled, from the manner in which they sre dvsiguated on the books of the Department, “ star bids,” and they will be construed as providing for the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the made of conveyance necessary to insure tts “celerity, certainty, and security In all cases where the lowest grade of service is believed to be sufficient, the lowest bid will be ted, if duly guarantied, in preference to a “ star” or fpecific bii.
