There is a story current of Senator
McDougall, of California, that hav?
ing highly over-estimated his capacity
for refreshment, he found himself in
the gutter, "ami was accosted by a
policeman, who, shaking him roughly,
desired him to got up. "Do you
know who I am?" thundered tho Se?
nator. "No," said buttons. "I'm a
great man," said McDougall. "Can't
you see I'm Sewered?"
Startling toast: "Woman-tho
morning star of infancy-thc day
star of manhood-t he evening star
of age. Bless our stars."
At a printers' festival, the. follow?
ing was one of the toasts: "Worm n
-Second only to the press iu tho dis?
semination of news."
What trees increase and multiply
and bear most fruit after they are cut
down? The Christmas trees.

11. Didders aro cautioned to mail their
proposals in time to reach tho Depart?
ment by tin; day and hour named, (tip. m.,

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

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

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.
