INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS AND rosTASTERS, Containing, als- . comlitions to be incorpo? rated in the contracts, to the extent the Pe I partaient may deem proper. 1. Seven minutes aro allowed to each in I termediate office, when not otherwise spe? cified, for assorting the mails; but on rail I road and steamboat routes, there is to bi? no more delay than is sufficient for an ex? change of tho mail pouches. 2. On railroad and steamboat lines ami I other routes where the motto of conveyance i aelmits of it, tho special agents of the Post Office Department, also post office blanks mail bags, locks and keys, are to bo con voyeel without cx?.ra charge. ?. On railroad ami steamboat linos, the route agents of the Department are to be conveyed without charge; and for tho use o'the agents a commodious car, or apart? ment in tho centre of a car, propcrb, lighted, warmed and furnished, and adapt eel to tho convenient separation and due security of the mails, is to be provided bj the contractor, under the direction of the Department. Railroad and steamboat companies are required to take the mail from and delivci it into tho post offices at tho beginning and end of their routes, and to and from al offices not moro tba:; e ighty rods from ? station or landing. Proposals may ht submitted by the companies fe>r the per? formance of all other side service that is for offices over eighty roda from a statioi ur landing. There will bo "svay-bills" preparetl b; postmasters, or other agents* of tim Do partmcnt, to accompany the mails convey od on railroads and steamers, specifying tho nuinbor and tlestinatiou of the severa bags. On other principal routes, likewise receipts will bc required and way-bills for warded; tho latter to bo examined by thi several postmasters, to insure regularity in tho delivery of mails. 4. No pay will be made for trips not per formed; and for each e>f such omissions not satisfactorily explained, three time the pay of the trip may bo eleelucted. Fo arrivals so far behind timo as to brea! connection with depending mails, anet no sufficiently excused, one-fourth of thc com pensation for the trip is subject to fc*rfoi turo. For repeated delinquencies of th kind herein specified, enlarged penalties proportioned to tin? nature thereof, am the importance of the mail, may bo made 5. For loaring behind e?r tfirowing <.! the mails, or any portion of them, for tie admission of passengers, or for being con ee-rned in setting up or running au expr?s; conveying intelligence, in advance of tin mai!, a epiarte-r's pay may bo deducted. G. Fines will be imposed, unless the do linquency bo promptly and satisfactorily explained by certificates of postmasters o: the affidavits of other credible persons, fo failing to arrive in contract time; fer neg leering to take tho mail from, e>r deliver i into, ? post office; '.for suffering it to bi wet, injured, destroyed, robbad or lost and for refusing, after demand, to couve; the mail as freepientiy as the contracto runs, or is conceretl in running, a "each car, or steamboat on a route. 7. Tho Postmaster-General .u ti:e contract for repeated failure to rui agreeably t<> contract; for violating thc post office laws, or disobeying the instruc? tions of the Department; for refusing fo discharge a carrier when required by tho Department to do so; for running an ex? press as afores.lid, or for transporting persons or packages conveying mailablo matter out of the mail. H. The Postmaster-General may order an increase of service on a routs by allowing therefor a pro raia increase on the con? tract pay. fie may change schedules of departures and arrivals in all cases, and particularly to make them conform to con? nections with railroads, without increase of pay, provided the running time bo not abridged, lie may also order an increase of sneed, allowing, within tho restrictions of the law, a pro rata increase of pay for the additional stock or earners, if any. The contractor may, however, tit the case ofincrpase of speed, relinquish t bc contract, by giving prompt notice to the Depart? ment that ho prefers doin? so to carrving tho order into effect. The Postmaster General may also discontinue or curtail tho service, in whole or in part, in order to place on tltu mute a greater degree of ser? vice, or whenever the publie interests, in his judgment, shall require such disconti? nuance or curtailment for any other cause* ho allowing, as afull indemnity to contract? or, one month's extra pay on th" amount ot service dispensed with, and a pro rata compensation for the amour:', of service re? tained and continued. 9. Payments will be made by collections from or drafts on postmasters, or other? wise, after the expiration of each quarter say. in November, February, May and Au? gust. lt). 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 aro correctly stated. Bidders must inform themselves on thia j">i:d, and also in refer? ence to the weight of tho mail, thc condi? tion of roads, hills, .streams, Ac, and all toll bridges, ferries, or obstructions of any kind by which expense may bc incurred. N<i claim for additional pay, based on such ground, can be considered, nor for alleged mistakes or misapprehensions as to the degree of service, u< >r fi >r bridges di's tri >yed, ferries discontinued, or tither obstructions increasing distance, occurring during thc contract term. Offices established after this advertisement is issued, and also during the contract tenn, are to be visited without extra pay, if til? distance be not increased. 11. Bidders are cautioned to mail their .proposals in time to reach the Depart? ment by the day and hour named, (Jip. m., February 28, 1867;) for bids received after that time will not bo considered in compe? tition with a bid of reasonable amount re? ceived in time. Neither can bids lie consi? dered which are without thc guarantee required by law, and a certificate of the sufficiency of such guarantee. 12. Bidders should first propose for ser? vice strictly according to the advertise? ment, and then, if they desiro, separately for different service; and if the regular bid bo the lowest offered foi' the advertised service, the other propositions may bo con? sidered. 13. There should bo but ono route bid for in* a proposal. Consolidated or combi? nation bids ["proposing one sum for two or more routes"] are forbidden bylaw, and cannot ho considered. 14. Tho route, the service, tho yearly pay, the namo and residence of tie:; bidder, [that in, his usual post offico address,] and those of each member of a firm whero a company offers, should be distinctly stated. 15. Bidders are requested to uso, as far as practicable, tho printed proposals fur? nished by the department, to write out in full tho sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them. Altered bids should not bo submitted; nor should bids once submitted be with? drawn. No withdrawal of a bidder or guarantor will bo allowed unless tho with? drawal is dated and received before the last day of receiving proposals. Each bid must bo guaranteed by two re? sponsible persons. The bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of each person. Tho department reserves tho right to reject any bid which may bo deemed ex? travagant, and also to disregard tho bids of failing contractors and bidders. 10. The bid should bo sealed, super? scribed "Mail proposals, State of South Carolina," addressed '.Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract Office," and sent hy mail, not by or to an agent; and postmasters will not enclose proposals [or letters of any kind] in their quarterly re? turns. 17. The contracts are to be executed and returned to tho Department by or beforo tho 1st dag of July, 1807; but the sorvico must be begun on that day, or on the mail day next after it, whether tho contracts be executed or not. Transfers of contracts, or of interest in contracts, arc forbidden by law, and con? sequently cannot bo allowed. Bidders will, therefore, take notice that they will bo ex? pected to perform tho service accepted to them through the whole term of tho con? tract. 18. Postmasters at offices on or near rail? roads, but more than eighty rods from a station, will, immediately after the 23th of February next, report their exact distance from the nearest station, and how they arc otherwise supplied with the mail, to enable tho Postmaster-General to direct 'a mail messenger supply from tho 1st of July next. 19. Section eighteen of an Act of Con ? gress, approved March 3. 1845, provides that contracts for the transportation ol'the mail shall be l.u, "in every case, to the low? est bidder tendering sufficient guarantees for faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of such transporta? tion than may be nece-sary to provide for tho duo celerity, certainty and security of such transportation." Under this law, bids that propose to transport the mai! i with "celerity, certainty and security'' having been derided to oe the ont y tegul bids, aye con? strued as providing for theentire mail, lio^e ever large, and tchaleoer may bf ike modeof conveyance n cess try tr, insure itsli, - IcrUy, certainty and security," and hare the j/rc ference over ali others, and no oGiersare con? sidered. '20. A modification of a bid in any of dis essential terms is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, so as to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids. Making a new hid, with guarantee and certificate, is tho only way to modify a previous bid. 21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without knowing that they ar.' per? sons t.f sufficient responsibility; a disre? gard of this instruction by postmasters is a violation of their oui//, ot' office, subjecting them lo imme Hate removal. AH bidders, guarantors ami sureties are distinctly noti? fied that on a failure to citer into or pt r form the contracts for the service proposod for in thc accepted bids, their legal liabili? ties will be enforced against them. 22. Present contractors, and persons known at the Department, must, equally with others, procure guarantors and certi? ficates of their sufficiency substantially in the forms above prescribed. Tho certifi? cate of sufficiency must be signed by a post? master, or by a judge of a court of record. No other will bo admitted. The certificate must also have affixed toit a live-cent reve? nue stamp, canceled, as required bv law. ALEX. W. RANDALL, Dec 15 s'J Postniaster-General.
