INSTRUCTIONS. ol '
Seven minutes are allowed for opening and closing the mails at aiul
ffices where no particular time is specified) but on railroad and
mboat routes there is to be no more delay than is necessary to
rer and receive the bags. * 1
The mail is to be conveyed in preference to passengers, and to T<
r entire exclusion, if its weight and bulk require it nine
Post office blanks, mail bags, and tho special agents of the de- tion
ment, on the exhibition of their credentials, are to be conveyed e[cv
rout further charge, on mail lines admitting of such convey- twe]
5.
Mail agents are to be conveyed without charge on the princirailroad
and steamboat lines, where the size of the mailn and
number of the officers will require their employment by the de- fllty
ment; and iu that case, a separate apartment for the assorting seve
safe-keeping of the mail is to be provided by the contractor, un- two,
the direction of the department. rttlH
In all cases there is to be a forfeiture of the pay of the trip, ^
n the trip is not run; a forfeiture of at least one-fourth part of tW{?|
hen the running or arrival is so far behind time as to lose the ..
lexioii with a depending mail; and a forfeiture of a due pro- ,mc
iou of it when a grade of service is rendered inferior to that in 7/
contract. These forfeitures may be increased into penalties v1
ighor amount, according to the nature or frequency of the failure rang
the importance of the mail. ?
Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be satisfactory ..
xplained indue time, for failing to take from, or deliver at, a
office, the mail, or any part of it; for suffering it to be wet, |>08iJ
red, lost, or destroyed; for conveying it in a place or manner ship
exposes it to depredation, loss, or injury; for refusing after x
and to convoy a mail by any coach, railioad car, or steamboat,
ch the contractor regularly runs on the route beyond the speci- T?
number of trips in the contract, and for not arriving at the time 'J't
and lor setting up or running an express to transmit commercial teen
lligence in advance of the mail, a penalty will be exacted equalto
arter's pay. 4 w T
The Postmaster General may annul the contract for reflbated A(
ires; for violating the post otnee laws; for disobeying the inctions
of the department; for refusing to dischv.ige a carrier -it
n required by the department; for assigning the contract with- ty-tv
the consent of the Postmaster General, or for settinc ut> or run
; an express as aforesaid.
1'hu Postmaster General may alter the contract, and alter the MOf
idulu, he allowing a pro rata increase of compensation, within ol tl
restrictions imposed by law, for the additional service required, and
or the increased speed, if the employment of additional stock ?
arriers is rendered necessary; but the contractor may, in such ,.
i, relinquish the contract, on timely notice, if he prefers it to the 1
age. The Postmaster General may annul the contract or curtail fa Uric
r vice, and pay when he wishes to dispense with the service Ft
'hole or in part, or place a higher or different grade of service rang
the route, he allowing one month's extra pay on the amount dis J.',
led with.
The payments will be made through drafts on post offices or
irwise, after the expiration of each quarter, say In February, " i,
r, August, and November. , i
i. The distances are given according to the best information ; sIiijj
no increased pay will be allowed, should they prove to be great. b r
ban is advertised, if the places are correctly named. tion
. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law fromlrnowingly of "
ing a contract for the transportation of the mail with any per- aJ1(l
who shall have entered into any combination, or proposed to en- j.-(
,nto any combination, to prevent tho making of any bid for a mail fOUI
tract by any other person or persons, or who shall have made
agreement, or shall have given or performed, or promised to *:
: or perform, any consideration to do, or not to do. any thing ''
itever to induce any other person not to bid for a mail contract, thirl
icular attention is called to ihe 38th section of the act of 1836, til s
aibiting combinations to prevent bidding. twei
. A bid received after time, to wit: the 30th March next, at 9 a. t|H. ,
or without the guaranty required by law, or that combines seve- p,
outea in one sum of compensation, cannot be considered in comtion
with a regular proposal not adjudged to be extravagant .
. A bidder may offer, where the transportation called for in the 01 1'
irtisoment is difficult or impracticable at certain seasons, to subite
an inferior mode of conveyance, or to intermit service a spe- ,.
d number of days, weeks, or months. He may propose to omit
ffice that is inaccessible, or is not on the stage road, the railway, H68 i
t a steamboat landing, as the case may be; or he may offer to jy(
ititute an inferior mode of supply in such cases. He may proi
different days and hours of departure and arrival, provided no Se
e running time is asked, and it is obvious that no mail connex- twei
or other public accommodation is prejudiced. He may ask for
e running time to the trip, during a specified number of days, at tWQ
ain seasons of peculiarly had roads; but beyond these changes, a J
oral for service different from the advertisement will prevent its ...
g considered in competition with a regular bid not set aside 1'
extravagance; and where a bid contains any of the above altera- twei
s, their disadvantages will be estimated in comparing it with live;
r proposals. jyr
. There should be but one route bid for in a proposal.
. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the bidder's name and pr
lance, and the name of each member of the firm, where a com- rang
Ir otters, should be distinctly stated?also the mode of convey- p*
!, if a higher mode than on horseback is intended.
. The bid should be sent under seal, addressed to the First As- 1
int Postmaster General, with "Mail Proposals in the State of 3('
written on the face of the letter; sod should be despatched in teen
! to lie received by or before the 30th March next, a 9 o'clock, twei
It should be guarantied, and the sufficiency of the guarantors seetl
lid be duly certified. (See forms.) fraul
. The contracts are to be executed by or before the 1st July t[rjrt
. Postmasters at offices situated upon or near railroads, but morn . J'
? eighty rod* from a depot, will, immediately after the jMth April
t, report that fact to the department, stating their exact distance ail(*
i the railroad depot, and how otherwise supplied with the mail, towi
nable the Postmaster General to direct the proper supply to be
e from the railroad by inall messengers, from and after the 1st ranp
f MM*t. P i
. Under the act of ltd March, 1845, the route is to be let to the rjvc,
est bidder, tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performwithout
other reference to the mode of transportation than '
be necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and se- anrjj
ty of such transportation. 1<
hen the lowest hid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inade- i .
:? lor the Hits iri respect to the certainty, security, and celerity
he mails, aside from any accommodation for travel, it will not
ntltUd to the route -11
i. When the bid does not name a mode of conveyance, it will lie app<
in and understood to be for the lowest mode of conveyance, to adv<
on horseback. When it proposes to carry according to the ad- shall
isoment, and no mode of conveyance Is stated for the rente in s|ia|
advertisement, it will be considered as ofteiing only for horse- emr
It-conveyance. ' .
. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 18-15, a new description
rd has been received. it specifics no mode of conveyance, but 1,1
ages to carry the mail with certainty, celerity, and security, tWei
ig the terms of the law. These bids are called, from the man Glgh
in which they are designated on the books of the department,
ir hidIt has been decided, after mature consideration, that ]{
id proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as
-horse coach transportation is to be preferred to the star bid
i experience of the department enables it to lay down the followrules,
viz:
Then the mail on the route is not so large as to require two-horse
*h conveyance, a star bid, if the lowest, will be preferred to the land
;ific bid. ship
I. When the mails are of such size and weight as to render it to tli
essary or expedient, in reference to them alone, to provide |anfj
-horse coach conveyance, the specific bid, though the highest, - ./vibe
preferred to the star bid, to the extent of a moderate differe
in the compensation, in case the difference is not such as to in- or
re with the policy of the new law, which looks to a reduction '?rftc
he cost of transportation. Kxceptions. however, may lie ul- leitc
ed where the star bid is made by the present owner of the
:k on the route, and it is manifest that the reasons for preferring
specific hid do not exist in his case. q(
I. On routes of the highest class, where four-horse coach or .
mbost transportation is required by the size mid importance oi
mails, the preference for the specific hid will fie, if necessary, I \1
ied to e greater extent of difference than on the inferior coach JL/
tee, subject, however, to the exceptions above stated. atlpl
i. A modification of e bid, in any of Its essential terms, is tanta (mv,
int to a new hid, and caonot he received, so as to interfere with re- H(|
ar competition, after the last hour set for receiving bids.
