By act of Congress, approved April 21, 1S08, no
member of Congress can be a contractor, or be. con
Cerned,- directly or indirectly, in any contract with

high misdemeanor forUy, officer of the United Con

The. 7th section of the law of March 3, 1825, enacts
that no other than a free white male person shall be

The authority to establish post routes is not vesied
in the fostmaster uenerai, nor can ncextena or
"engthfen those already established, lie can only
place mail service on such roads as have been declared
post routes by aot of Congress. All railroads, plank
toads, canals, navigable rivers, and other waters, are,
however, post roads bylaw: and also the road from

The Auditor of j the Treasury for the Post Office De
partment has found so much inconvenience, risk, and
expense to result from tha practloe of contractors in
making drafts on their pay in advance of the quarter
ly settlements, that he has been compelled to' adopt
the following regulation,sso whiclf he will rigidly ad
here, and of which contractors and all concerned will
.taka'n'oticerf-'; , r-'crA-''l :':;'ij
4 " But one, draft! for the"pay on each route per quar
ter will ba paid or filed for payment" In this office.'
This draft should state on its face that it is the only
one for the quarter and the route (both to be specified)
on which it is drawn; and the signature thereto attest
ed by' the postmaster at ths place where it may be drawn
and one other 'witness, and each assignment thereof
should be attested by two witnessex" ;
It will ba perceived that a draft so drawn can only
be received and filed in the office by courtesy of the
Auditor ; it cannot be accepted- as business paper is
usually accepted and imposes xno' obligation, and
raises no claim on the Confederate States, except to
pay the amount at the "the proper time, or so much as
may pe uua tne arawer on tae quarter named, and no
other. ! But if the whole amount due the contractor
be hot sufficient to meet the -draft, it cannot be sur
fer lered, butTthough a portion onlv be Daid." it
must' remain in the officeas a "voucher" for the
payment; .as the law requires of all vouchers.
