TbePostmastctvGencralmay ord. i an increase of service on a route by aliowing therefor a pro rata increase on tho con? tract pay. He may chango schedules of departures and arrivals in all cases, and particularly to make them conform to con? nections with ra i Ilea, ls, without increase of pay, provided the running time be not abridged. He may also order an increase of speed, allowing, within the restrictions of the law, a pro rata increase of pay for thc additional stock or carriers, d any. The contractor may, however, iii the case af increase ofspi ed, r< Jiuquish t lie contract, by giving prompt notice to tho Depart? ment that ho prefers doing s?> to carrying tho order into effect. 'J he Postmaster Gcncral may also discontinue or curtail j the service, in whole or in part, in order to ! pince ?nt tho route a greater degree nf ser? vice, or whenever the public interest.', in bis judgment, shall require such disconti? nuance or curtailment for any other cause; ho allowing, as a full indemnity to contract? or, one mouth's extra pay on the amount ot servica- dispensed with, and a pro nita compensation lor tho amoun'. of service re? tained and continued. 9. Payments will he made by collections from or drafts on postmasters, or other? wise, after tho expiration of each quarter - say, November, February, May and August. 10. Thc distances arc given" according to the best information; bul no increased pay will be allowed should they be greater than advertised, if the points to bo supplied are correctly stated. Jh<t<lcrs must inform themselves on this point, and also in refer? ence to tho weight of the mail, tho condi? tion of roads, hills, streams, A? , and all toll bridges, ferries, or obstructions of any lund by which expense may be incurr? ?1. y.o claim for additional pay, based on such ground, can he considered, nor for alleged mistakes or misapprehensions as to tho degree of service, nor for bridges destroyed, terries discontinued, or other obstructions increasing distance, occurring during tho contract terni. Obices established after this advertisement is issued, and also during the contract term, are to lie visited i without extra pay, if tho distanco he not increased. 11. Didders aro cautioned to mail their proposals in time to reach tho Depart? ment by tin; day and hour named, (tip. m., i February 28, 1867;! for bids received after that time will not be considered in compe? tition with a bid of reasonable amount re? ceived in time. Neither can bids bo consi I dered which are without the guarantee required by law, ami a certilicati of tho sufficiency of such guarantee. 12. Bidders should lirst propose for ser? vice strictly according to tho advertise I ment, and then, if they desire, separately I for different s. rvice; and if tho regt 'or bid j bo tho lowest offered for thc ailvertised service, tho other propositions nu y be con? sidered. 13. Then- should be hut one route bid for in a proposal. Consolidated or combi? nation bids ["proposing one sum for two or more routes"] are forbidden bylaw, and cannot, bo cnn-i Icrcd. 14. Thc route, the service, the y. arly pay, the name and residence of the bidder, [that ia, his usual post, oifico address,] and those of each member of a linn where a company offers, shouldbi? distiuctly stated. 15. Bidders arc reqnestcd to use, a i far as practicable, the printed proposals fur? nished by the department, to write out in full the sum ?d' their -bids, and to retain copies ?>f them. Altered bids should not bo submitted; nor should bids onco submitted bu with? drawn. N*o withdrawal of a bidder..or guarantor will be allowed unless thc with ?lraw.il is dated and received before tho last day of rec? iving proposals. Each bid must be guaranteed by two re? sponsible persons. Thc bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with tho full nenin of each person. The dopa rt nient reserves the- right to reject any bid which may bo deemed ex? travagant, and a!s?i to disregard tho bids of tailing contractors and biddi rs. 16. The bid should ho sealed, super? scribed "Mail proposals, State of South Carolina," addressed "Second Assistant Postmaster General, Contract Cilice,'' ami sent by mail, not by ?>r to an agent; and postmasters will not enclose proposals [or haters of any kind] in quarterly returns. 17. The contracts aro to bo executed and returned to tlc: Department by or ht toro the 1st doy vf July, 1M17; hut the service must be begun on that day, or on the mail day next after it, whether tho contracts bo execute;! or not. Transfers of contracts, or of interest in contracts, are forbidden by law, and con? sequently cannot bo allowed. Bidders will, therefore, take notice that they will be ex? pected to perform the service accepted to them through tho who!?: term of contract. is. Postmasters at offices on or near rail? roads, hut moro than eighty rods fr?'>m a station, will, immediately alter the 28th ol February next, report their exact distance from thu nearest station, and how they aro otherwise supplied with the mail., to enable tho Postmaster-General to direct a mail messengi-r supply hon- Nt of July next. 19. Section eighteen ->f . n Act of Con? gress, approved March 3, 1S45, provides that contracts for the transportation of the mail shah bc let, "in every ca; J, to thc low? est bidder tendering sufficient guarantee!! f.>r faithful performance, without othei reference to the mode of buch transporta? tion than may be necessary to provide foi tko duo celerity, certainty and security ol such transportation." Under this law, bidi that propose to transport thc mails witl "c< tri!;/, certainty and security" hov int been decided, to bethe only legal bias, are cou slmed a.i providing for the entire mail, hoto ever large, and irJuttever may be the modeo conveyance }t ces* l'y lo insure its''celerity certainty and security," and ln.ee the pre. lei euee cree oil others, and no ethel's are con willeri./. 20. A modification of a hid in any ..f it essential terms is tantamount to a new bit and cannot be received, so as to inti rfer with regular competition, after th?! .'ar hour set for receiving bids. Making ano' bid, with guarantee and certificate, is th only way to modify a previous bid. 21. Postmasters aro to be careful not t certify tho sufficiency < f guarantors < sureties wilhont knowing that they ar?- pei sot.s of sufficient re?poii.-ibiliiy; <i disn .joni if this instruction by postmasters is dotation of Uteir oath of office, subject in them lo immediati removal. Ail bidder, gnarantoi s and .-un ties are distinctly mu lied that on a failun toe ter into or pei fenn the contracts for the service propose for in Hie accepted Iuds, their legal habil ties ?i'd be enforced against them. 22. Prisent contractors, and porsoi known at tb?: Department, must, equal with others, procure guarantors and cert Meares of their sufficiency substantially i the forms above prescribed. Th.- certi: cato of sufficiency must be signed CT a pos master, or Itv a judge of a court of recur No other will be admitted. The certifica must also have aflixcd toit a five-cent rev nun stamp, canceled, as required bv law. ALEX. W. HAN DALL, Dec 15 e6 ? Postmaster-General.
