This proprsal is made with full knowledge of ihe distance of the route, the weight of t )ie mail to be carried, and all other particulars in reler ence to Ihe route nd service, and also after, full examination of ihe instructions atid require ments attached lo the advertisement. Dated (Signed) Form of a Guarantee. The undersigned, residing at , Slate of , undertake that, if the foregoing bid Cor carrying the mail on route No. be ac cepted by the Postmaster General, the bidder hall, prior to the 1st day of July, 1855, or as soon thereafter as may be, enter into I herequ i red obligations o perform 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 the 27th section of the act of Congress of July 2, 1836. Dated (Signed by two guarantors.) Form oj Certificate. - The undersigned, postmaster ol State of , certifies, under his oai'i of office, that he is acquainted wiih the above guarantors, and .mows them to be men ol properly, anu able lo make good their guaraniee. Dated (Signed) The sufficiency of guarantors on proposals may be certified by a judge ol" a court of record, and by postmasters at the following offices, and no others : .In the State of NORTH CAROLINA, post masters of offices nt the court house or county eat of each county ; and at Chapel Hill, David son College, Enfield, Fayetieville, Franklinton, Gaston, Goldboro', Greensboro', Henderson, Ke nanville, Milton, Murfreesboro', Oxford, Salem, Scotland Neck, Williamston, Yanceyville. Conditions to be incorporated in the contracts to the extent the deportment 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 admits 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, are 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 the mails is to be provided by the contractor, under the direc tion of the department. 4. No pay will be made for trips not performed ; and for each of such omissions not satisfactorily explained three times ihe pay of the trip may be deducted. For arrivals so far behind lime as to break connexion with depending mails, and not sufficiently excused, one-fourih 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 peated delinquencies of ihe kind herein specified, enlarged penalties, proportioned to ihe nature thereof, and ihe importance of the mail, may be made. 5. For leaving behind, or throwing off the mails, or any portion of them, for the admission of pas sengers 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 will 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 lime ; for neglecting lo take the mail from, or deliver it into, a post office ; for suffering it (ow ing either to the unsunableness of the place or manner of carrying it) to be injured, destroyed. rubbed, or lost ; ana lor re.'u9ing, after demand, convey the mail as frequently as Ihe contractor runs, or is concerned in running, a coach, car. or steamboat on a route. 7. The Postmaster General may annul the con tract for repeated failures to run agreeable to con tract ; for disobeying the Post Office laws, or the instructions 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 ol the Postmaster Genera' ; for run ning an express as aforesaid ; or for transporting persons or packages conveying mailable matter out of the mail. 8. The Postmnsfr-r General may order an in crease of service on a route by allowing iherefor n pro rata increase on the contract pay. He may change the schedule of arrivals and departures, without increase of pay, provided he does not cur tail the amount of running time. He may also order an increase of speed, he allowing, within the restrictions of tfie law, a pro rata increase of tor toe adutiooal stock er carriers, if any. eontruator may, however, in Ae case of in- crease of speed, relinquish the' contract by giving prompt notice to the department that he prefers doing to carrying the order into effect. The Posimaster General may also curtail or discontin ue the service, zX pro rata decrease of pay, allow ing one month'sextra compensation on the amount dispensed wiih, whenever, in his opinion, the pub lic inlerersts do not require the same, or in case he desires to supers de it by a different grade ol transportation. 9. Payments will be made for the service hy collections Irom, or drafts on, postmasters, or otherwise, after the expiration of each quarter say in February, May, August and November. 10. The distances are given according to the best information ; but no increased pay will be al lowed should they be greater than advertised, ft the points to be supplied be correctly staled. Bid ders mutt inform themselves on this point. 11. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law 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 28th section of the act of 1836 prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding. 12. A bid received after time viz : 3 p. m. of the 10th oi April, 1855 or without the guaran- tee rc quired 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 ihe 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 and proper. 14. There should be but one route bid for in a proposal, 15. The rou'e, 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 llian horseback is in tended. The words '"with due celerity, certain ty and security," inserted to indicate the mode ol 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 ihe 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 guaranteed by two respon sible persons. General guarantees cannot be ad mitted. 17. The bid should be sealed ; superscribed ' mail proposals, State of North Carolina," ad dressed " Second Assistant Postmaster General," Contract Office, and sent by mail, not by, or to, an agent, and postmasters w ill not enclose propo sals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly re turns. 18. The contracts are to be executed and return ed to the department by or before the 1st of July. 1855, bui 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 loim and received at the department ; and then no transfers will be allowed unless 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 after the 10th of April next, report their exact distance from the nearest station, and how they are otherwise supplied with the mail, to ena ble ihe Postmaster General to direct a mail-messenger supply 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, and 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, and 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 for the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be tlie mode of conveyance necessary to insure its M celeri ty, certainty, and seevrcty." In all cases where 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 ihe lowest bid is not a star bid, and spe cifies either no mode or an inadequate mode of conveyance, it will r)0t be accepted, but set aside for a specific bid proposing the necessary service. When the bid does not specify a mode of con veyance, also 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 thai, on a failure to enter 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 thee in structions; and on all railroad and steamboat routes the contractors will be required io deliver the mails into the post offices at the ends of the routes and into all the intermediate post offices not more than eight rods from the railroad or lauding. 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 the places before named, or a judge of a court of record. Postmasters at the ends of routes on which they think the present mode ol conveyance inadequate, will weigh the mail each trip for six successive weeks on weekly routes, nnd three weeks on other routes, and report the result by the 10th April, 1855 JAMES CAMPBELL, Postmasjer General.
