Form of a proposal where vo ehavge from ad verL sement is conteviplatcd by the bidder, I, , of , county of , State of- , propose to convey the mails from July 1, 18o5. to June 30, 1859, on route No, , (ruin 1 'o , nijreeably to the advertise. ment of the Postmaster General, dated January 12, 1855, and by the following mode of convey ance, viz : for the annual sum of dollars. This proposal i.s made with (ull knowledge of the distance of the route, the weight of the mail to he carried, and all other particulars in refer ence to the route and service, and also after full examination of the instrudions and require ments attached to the advertisement. Dated (Signed) Form of a Guarantee. The undersigned, residing nt , State of , undertake that, if the foregoing bid for carrying the mail on route No. be ac cepted by the Postmaster General, the 'bidder shall, prior to the 1st day of July, 1855, or as soon thereafter as may be. enter into the required obligations o perforin the service proposed, with good and sufficient sureties. This we do wiih a full knowledge of the obli gations and liabilities assumed by guarantors under J the 27th section of the act of Congress of July 2, 183b. Dated (Signed by two guarantors.) Form oj Certificate. The undersigned, postmaster of State of , certifies, under his oath of office, that he is acquainted w ith the above guarantors, and Knows them to be men of property, and able to make good their gu; rantee. Dated (Signed) The sufficiency of guarantors on proposals may be certified by a judge of a court of re"Cord, and by postmasters at the following offices, and no others : In the State of NORTH CAROLINA, post-; masters of offices nt tnc court house or county 1 seat of each county ; and at Chape! Hill, David son College, Enfield, Fayetteville, Franklinton, j Gaston, Goldboro', Green " iro Henderson, Ke- Danville, Milton, Mur-'r "C-sboro', Oxford, Salem, Scotland Neck, Williamston, Yanceyville. Conditions to be incorporated riti the contracts to the extent the department may deem proper. 1. Seven minutes are allowed to each interme diate office, when not otherwise specified, for as sorting the mails; but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to be no more delay than is suffi cient for an exchange of the mail bags. 2. On routes where the mode of conveyance hdmits of it, the special agents of the department, also post office blanks, mail bags, locks and keys, are to be conveyed without extra charge. 3. On railroad and steamboat lines, British and Canada mails, when offered, ore to be conveyed without additional pay ; also, the route agents of the department, for whose exclusive use, while travelling with the mails, a commodious car, or apartment in the centre of a car, properly lighted, warmed, and furnished, and adapted to the conve nient assortment and due security of tho mails is to be provided by the contractor, under the direc tion of the department. 4. No pay will q made for trips not performed ; and for each of such omissions not satisfactorily explnin?d three times the pay of the trip may be deducted. For arrivals so far behind time as to break connexion with depending mails, and not sufficiently excused, bne-four'h of the compensa tion for the trip is subject to forfeiture. Deduction will also be ordered for a grade of performance inferior to that specified in the contract. For re pealed delinquencies of the kind herein specified, enlarged penalties, proportioned to the nature thereof, and the importance of the mail, may he made. 5. For leaving behind, or throwing off the mails, or any portion of them, for the admission of pas senger, or for being concerned in setting up or running an express conveying commercial intelli gence ahead of the mail, a quarter's pay may be deducted. 6. Fines will w ill be imposed, unless the delin quency be promptly and satisfactorily explained by certificates of postmasters, or the affidavits of other creditable persons, for failing to arrive in contract time; for neglecting to take the mail from, or deliver it into, a post office ; for suffering it (owin either to the unsuitableness of the place or manner of carrying it) to be injured, destroyed, robbed, or lost; and for refusing, after demand, to convey the mail as frequently as the contractor runs, or is concerned in running, a couch, car, or steamboat on a route. 7. The Postmaster General mny annul thecon tract for repeated failures to run ngreenble to con tract; for disobey ing ihe Post Office laws, or the inslruc'ions of the department; for refusing to discharge a carrier when required by the depart ment to do so; for assigning the contract without the assent of the Postmaster General ; for run ning an express as aforesaid ; or for transporting persons or packages conveying mailable matter out of the mil. 8. The Postmaster General may order an in- crpase of service on a route by nllowing therefor The rtDtrc?OT may, however, tn the cose trf ra- crease of speed, relinquish the contract by giving prompt notice to the department thai he prefprs I doing hu to carrying the order into effect. The j Postmaster General may also curtail ordtscontin j ue 1 he service, at prorata decrease of pay, allow ' ing one month'sextra compensation on the amount dispensed with, w henever, in his opinion, thp pub I lie inferersls do not require tho same, or in case ! he desires to supersede it by a different grade of j transportation. 9. Payments will be made for the service by ; collections from, or drafts on, postmasters, or ! otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter j say in February, May, August and November, j 10. The distances are given according to the ; best information; but no increased pay will be al- lowed should they be greater than advertised, if i the points lo be supplied be correctly 6taled. Bid j ders must inform themselves on this point. 11. The Postmaster General is prohibited by luw from knowingly making a contract for the transportstion of the mails with any person who shall have entered into, or proposed to enter into, any combination to prevent the making of any bid for a mail contract by any other person or persons, or who shall have made any agreement, or shall have given or performed, or promised to give or perform, or to do, or not to do, anything whatever, in order to induce any other person or persons not to bid for a mail contract. Particular attention is called to the 28ih section of the act of 1836, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid received after time viz : 3 p. m. of the 10ih of April, 1855 or without the guaran tee required by law, or that combines several routes in one sum of compensation, cannot be con sidered in competition with a regular proposal reasonable in amount, 13 Bidders should, in all cases, first propose for service strictly according to the advertisement, and then if they desire, separately for different service ; and if the regular bid be the lowest of fered for the advertised service, the other bids may be considered, if the Alterations proposed are re. commended by the postmasters and citizens in terested, or if they shall appear manifestly right nnd proper. 14- There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. 15. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name and residence of the bidder, and those of each member of a firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly stated, also the mode of con veyance, if a higher mode than horseback is in tended. The words "with due celerity, certain ty and security," inserted to indicate the mode of conveyance, will constitute a "star bid." 16. Bidders are requested to use, as far as prac ticable, the printed form of proposal furnished by the department, to write out in full the sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them. No altered bids can be considered, and no bids once submitted can be withdrawn. Each bid must be guarranteed by two respon sible persons. General guarantees cannot be ad mitted. 17. The bid should be sealed ; superscribed mail proposals, Slate of North Carolina," ad dressed "Second Assistant Postmaster General," Contract Office, and sent by mail, not by, or to, an agent, and postmasters will not enclose propo sals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly re turns. 18. The contracts nre to be executed and return ed to the department by or before the 1st of July, 1855, but the service must be commenced on the mail day next after that date, whether the contracts be executed or not. No proposition for transfers will be considered until the contracts are executed in due Jorm and received at the department ; and then no transfers will h nllowpH unlp5 good and sufficient reasons therefor are given, lo be deter mined by the department. 19. Postmasters at offices on or near railroads, but more than eighty rods from a station, will, im mediately nfrer the 10th of April next, report their exact distance from the nearest station, and bow they are otherwise supplied with the mail, to ena ble the Postmaster General to direct a mail-messenger suppl- from the 1st of July next. 20. Section 18 of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1845, provides that contracts for the transportation of the mail shall be let, "in every case, to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guar antees for faithful performance, without other re ference to the mode of such transportation than may be necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, end security of such transportations." Under this law a new description of bids has been received. It does not specify a mode of convey ance, but engages to take the entire mail each trip with celerity, certainty, nnd security, using the terms of the law. These bids are styled, from the manner in which they are designated on the books of the department, "star bids" and they will be construed as providing fofirhe entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the mode of conveyai ice necessary lo insure its ' celeri ty, certainty, and securely " In all cases w here the lowest grade of service is believed to be sufficient, the lowest bid will be accepted if duly guarantied, in preference to a " star " or specific bid. When the lowest bid is not a star bid, and spe cifies either no mode or an inadequate mode of con veyance, it will not be accepted, but set aside for a specific bid proposing the necessary service. When the bid does not specify a mode of con veyance, nlso when it proposes to carry " accor ding to the advertisement," but without such spe cification, it will be considered as a proposal for horseback service. 21. A modification of a bid, in any of its es sential terms, is tantamount to a new bid, and can not be received, so as to interfere with regular competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids. 22. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without knowing that they are persons of sufficient re sponsibility ; and all bidders, guarantors, and sureties are distinctly notified that, on a failure to enler into or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids, their legal lia bilities will be enforced against them. 23. The contracts will be substantially in the forms heretofore used in this department, except in the respects particularly mentioned in these in struUons; and or. all railroad and steamboat routes ihe contractors will be required to deliver the mails into (he post offices a; the ends of the routes and into nil the intermediate post offices not more than eight rods from the railroad or landing. 24. Present contractors, and persons known at the department, must, equally wiih others, procure guarantors and certificates of their sufficiency sub stantially in the forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency must be signed by a post master at one of ihe places before named, or a judge of a court of record. Postmasters at the ends of routes on which they think the present mod; ol conveyance inadequate, will weigh the mail each trip for six successive weeks on weekly routes, and three weeks on other routes, and repori the result by the 10th April, 1855.
