INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS AND POSTMASTERS, Containing, also, conditions to be incorpo? rated in the contracts, to the extent the De? partment may deem proper. 1. Seven minutes are allowed to each in? termediate office, when not otherwise spe? cified, for assorting tho mails; but on rail? road and steamboat routes, there is to be no moro delay than is sufficient for an ex chaiigo of the mail pouches. 2. On railroad and steamboat lines and other routes where the mode of conveyance admits of it, tho special agents of th? Post Office Department, also post office blanks, mail bags, locks and keys, a: e to be con? veyed without ox.r* charge. 3. On railroad and steamboat linos, tho route agenta of the Department are to be conveyed without charge; and for the uso of the agents a commodious car, or apart? ment in tho centre of a car, properly lighted, warmed and furnished, and adapt? ed to the convenient soparalion and duo security of tho mails, is to bo provided by tho contractor, under tho direction of the Department. Railroad and steamboat companies are required to tako the mail from ?nd deliver it into tho post oft. es at the beginning and end of tneir routes, and to and from ?ll offices not more than eighty rods from a station or landing. Proposals may be submitted by the companies fo?- tho per? formance of all other side servico-that ts, for offices over eighty rods from ? station oi lauding. There will be "way bills" propared by postmaster*, or other agents of the Da partition i, to accompany tho mails convey? ed OD railroads ?ntl steamers, specifying tho iminbar ?nd destination of tho several bags. OH other principal rentes, likewise, receipt? will bo required ?nd W?y-billri for? warded; the Utter to be examined by tho several postmasters, to insure regularity in the delivery of mails. 4. No pay will bc made for trip* not per? formed; and for each of such omissions, not satisfactorily explained, three times tho pay of tho trip may bo deducted. For arrivals so fur behind time as to break connection with depending mails, and not sufficiently excused, one-fourth of the com? pensation for tho trip is subject to forfei? ture. For repeated delinquencies of the kind herein specified, enlarged penalties, proportioned to tho nature thereof, and the importance of the mail, may be made. 5. For leaving behind or throwing of the mails, or any portion of them, for tin. admission of passengers, or for being con? cerned in setting np or running an oxprost conveying intelligence, in advance of tin mail, a quarter' pay may be deducted. 6 Fun-? will bo imposed, unless the de linqiu-ncy be prom p. ly and satisfactorily explained by certificates of postmasters ol tho affidavits ot other credible persons, foi failing to arrive in contract tiuie; for neg lectiug to take the mail from, or deliver i into, a post office; for suffering it to ht Wet, injured, destroyed, robbad or lost and for refusing, after demand, to colive] the mail aa frequently aa ibo contracto! runH, or ia coueered III running, a eoac . car, or steamboat ou a route. 7. The Postmaster-General may anim tho contract for repeated failure to rut agreeably to contract; for violating the post office laws, or disobeying tho instruc? tions, of tho Department; for refusing to dischargo a carrier when required ty tho Department to do HO; for miming an ex? press as aforesaid, or for transporting persons or packages conveying mallabie matter out of tho mail. 8. The Postmaster-General may order an increase of service ona rout.? bv allowing therefor a pro rata increase on the con? tract pay. He may chango 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 be not abridged. He may also order an increase of sneed, allowing, within tho restrictions of the law, apro raia increase of pay for the additional stock or carriers, if any. The contractor may. however^ in the casa of increase ofspeed, r< linquish the contract, by giving prompt notice to the Depart? ment that he prefers doing so to earning tho order int.. effect. Thc Postmaster General may abo discontinue or curtail the service, in whole or in y.n-t, ?u order to place on thc route a greater degree of ser? vice, or whenever the public interests, in his judgment, shall require such disconti? nuance or curtailment for any otht r cause' ho allowing, as a full indemnity to contract? or, one mouth's extra pay on the amount ol servico dispensed with, and a pro rata compensation for the amount of service re? tained and continued. 9. T'aymcnts will bo made by collections from or drafts on postmasters, or other? wise, after the expiration of each quartor_ say, in November, February, May and Au? gust. 10. The distances are given according to the best information; hut no increased pay will be allowed should they be greater than advertised, if tho points to bo supplied aro correctly stated. Jhddcrs must inform themselves on this point, and also in refer? ence to the weight of tho mail, the condi? tion of roads, hills, streams, Ac, and all toll bridges, ferries, or obstructions of any kind by which expenso may bc incurred. No claim for additional pay, based on such ground, can ho consiuered, nor for alleged mistakes or misapprehensions as to tho degree of service, nor for bridges dostroyed, ferries discontinued, or other obstructions increasing distance, occurring during tho contract tenn. Offices established after this advertisement is issued, and also during the contract term, are to bc visited without extra pay, if tho distance ho not increased. 11. Bidders arc cautioned to mail their proposals in time to reach tho Depart? ment by the day and hour named, (3 p. m., February 28, 1867;) for bids received after that time will not bo considered in compe? tition with a bid of reasonable afhount re? ceived in time. Neither can bids be consi? dered which arc without the guarantee required by law, and a certificate of tho sufficiency of such guarantee. 12. Bidders should first propose for ser? vico strictly according to tho advertise? ment, and then, if they desire, separately for different service; and if the regular hid be the lowest off-red for the advertised service, thc other propositions may be con? sidered. 13. There should be 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 be considered. 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name and residence of ibo bidder, [that is, his.usual pout office address,] and those of each member of a linn when & company offers, should be distinctly stated. 15. Bidders are requested to uso, as far as practicable, the printed proposals fur ni>ncd by the department, to write out in full the sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them. Altered bids should not ho submitted; nor should bids once submitted be with? drawn. No withdrawal of a bidder or guarantor will be. allowed unless tho with? drawal is dated and received before tho last day of receiving proposals. Each bid must ho guaranteed by two re? sponsible persons. The bid and guarantee should be sigiwd plainly with tho full naino of each person. Tho department reserves the right to reject any bid which may bo deemed ex? travagant, and also to disregard tho bids of failing contractors and bidders. 16. The bid should bo soaled, super? scribed "Mail proposals, Stato of South Carolina," addressed "Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract Office," and sont by mail, not Ly or to an agent; and fiostm'asters will not enclose proposals [ot otters of any kind] in their quarterly re? turns. 17. Tho contracts aro to bo executed ant returned to tho Dopartmont by or horan the Int day of July, 1807; hut the service must be begu.i on that day, or on tho mai day next after it, whether tho contracts bi executed or not. Transfors of contracts, or of interest ii contracts, are forbidden by law, and con Boquently cannot bo allowed. Bidders will therefore, take nntic.o that they will bo ex peeted to perform tho sor vice accepted ti them through the whole tenn of tho con tract. 18. Postmasters at offices on or near rail roads, but moro than eighty rods from station, ?iii, immediately after the 28th e February next, report their exact distant from the nearest station, and how they ar otherwise supplied with the mail, to enabl tho Postmaster-General to direct a mar messenger supply from tho 1st of Jul next. 19. Soction eighteen of an Act of Cor gress, approved March 3, 1845, provid. that contracts for tho transportation of th mail shall ho let, "in every case, to tho low est bidder tendering sufficient guarantee fur faithful performance, without otb. reference to tho mode of Mich transport! tion than tiiny be necessary to provide fi tho due celerity, certainty and security c such transportation." Under Ibis law, bi' that propone to transport the mails wit "ce erily, certainty and security" hf iv ii been decided lo be thc only legal bids, are <.-/. stetted as prov ding for tuc entire mail, hoi ever targe, and whatever may be the mode conveyance n cess try to insure its "cela it certainty and security," and h-ve tiw pr ftrence over all oiliers, and \o others are co sidered. 20. A modification of a bid in any of i essential terms is tantamount to a new bi and cannot bo .received, so as lo int. rh with regular competition, aller thu la hour set for receiving bids. Making n m bid, with guarantee and certificate, is il only way to modify a previous hid. 21. Postulasteis are to he careful nf>t ' certify thc sufficiency of guarantors BUretlCS wit bout knowing that they are pt sons of sufficient responsibility; a dist gard of thts instruction by postmasters is violation of their <> dh ol office, sulgecti them to immediate remoeat. All Lidd.-i guarantors and sureties are distinctly no tied that o:i a failure toe ter i:.t.o..r p< form the contracts for thc service propos for in the accepted bids, their legal hain ties will be enforced again; t them. 22. Present contractors, and perso known ai the Department, must, ? qua with others, procure guaran? ro aim ocr licat.es of their nu.tioi.-ncy suo.uaiiiialiy thu forms above prescribed. The cert cato of sufficiency must ho signed by a po mantel. or liv a judge of a court of rem.; No other .viii be admitted.
