This we do wHi a full knowledge of the obli gations and liabilities assumed by guarantors under (be-27th bection of the act of Congress of July 2, 1836. Dated (Signed by two guarantors.) Form of Certificate. The undersigned, postmaster of State of , certifies, under his oath of office, that he is acquainted with the above guarantors, and knows them to be men of property, and able to make good their guarantee.

Conditions to fte incorporated in the contracts to the extent the department 'may deem proper, . 1. Seven minutes are allowed to ech interme diate office, when not otherwise specified, for as sorting the npails; but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to be no more delay than is suffi eient for an exchange of the mail bags. z. un routes where the mode ol conveyance admits of it, the special agents of tin department, also post office blank-, mail bags, locks and keys, are to be conveyed without extra charge. 3. Or. railroad a;id 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 bo 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 satislactorily explained three times, the pay of the trip may be deducted. For arrivals so far behind time as to break connexion with depending mails, und not -iiflicienily excused, one-fourth of lh) compensa tion for the trip is sut j' ct to forfc iture. Deduction will also be ordered for a grade of performance inferior to that specified in the contract. For re peated delinquencies of the kind herein specified, enlarged penalties, proportioned to the nature thereof, and khe importance of the mail, may be made. 5. For leaving behind, or throwing off the mads, 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, unlpss 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 (owing either to the unsuitableness of the places or manner of currying it) to be injured, destroj ed, mbbed, 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 may annuf thecon iract for repeated failures to run agreeable to con tract ; fir disobey ing 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 of 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 Postmaster General mav order an in- crease cf service on a route by allowing therefor- a pro rata increase on the contract pay. He may change the .schedule of arrivals and departure, wi'hout increase of pay, provided he does not cur tail the amount of running time. He mar-also order an increase of spied, he allowing, within the restrictions of the law, a pro rata increase of piy for the additional stock or carriers, if any. The contractor may, however, in the case of in-" crease of eyn-d, relinquish the contract by giving prompt itoiict; to the department tlwt he prelers doing-fu ft carrying the order into effect. The Postmaster General may also curtail j discontin ue the service, at pro rata decrease of pay, allow ing one month'sextra compensation on the amount dispensed w ith, whenever, in his opinion, the pub lic interersts dn not require the same, or in case he desires to supersede it by a different grade ol transportation. 9. Payments Will be made for the scrv.ee by collections from, 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 shotdd they be greater than advertised, if the points to be supplied be correctly staled. Bid ders n.i.st inform themselves on Ibis 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 premised 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 'o 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 10;h 61 April, 1855 or without the guaran tee requited 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 il the regular bid b" 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 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 bV distinctly stated, also the mode of con veyancs, if a higher mode than 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 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 proposal?, State 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 ol any kind) in their quarterly re turns. 18. The contracts are Jo be executed and return ed to the department by or before the 1st of July. 1855. but the service must be emmenced oh the mail day next after that date, whether the contract! be executed or not. No proposition (or transfers will be considered until the contracts are executed in due form and received at the department ; and then no transfers will be aflowed unless good and sufficient reasons therefor are given, to be deter mined by the department. 19. Postmasteis 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 the Postmaster General to direct a mail-messenger supply from the 1st of July next. 0. 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 Lie necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and security of such transportations." Under this law a new description of bids has been received. Iudoes not specify a mode of convey ance, but engages to take the entire maif each trip with celerity, certainty, ar.d security, using the terms of the law. These bids are styled, from tbe manner in which they are designated on the books of tbe department, tstar bids," una I hey will be construed as providing for the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the mode of conveyance necessary to in sure its " celeri ty, certainty, and securely " In all cases where the lowest grade of service is believed to be sufficient, the lowest bid will be accepted il duly guarantied, in preference to a " star " or specific bid-. When the lowest bid is not a star bid, and spe cifif-s either no mode or an inadequate mode of conveyance, it will not be accepted, but set aside lor a specific bid proposing the necessary seivice. 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, guarantor., and sureties are distinctly notified that, 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 these in struclions; and or. all railroad and steamboat routes the contractors will be required to 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 landing. 24. Present contractors, and persons known at the department, must, equally with 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 fbev think the present mode ot convpyanct- inadequate', will weigh the mail each trip for six successive weeks on weekly routes, and three wt ks on other routes, and report the resi.lt hy the 10th April, 1S55 JAMES CMPDELL, Postmaster General.
