this Deportment, during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1850, will be received until 3 o'clock p. m., on
the 529lh day of June next. Those unaccompanied

All the articles of stationery must be of the very
best quality?samples of the principal articles of
which, such as paper, quills, metallic pens, lead
pencils, knives, ink, &c., must accompany the bids,
|?.vt up in classes as per schedule ; and the Department
reserves the right to retain such samples, and
pay for the same at the prices stated in the offer,
or to return them, at its option. No bid will be
considered where the articles accompanying it are,
not of the kind and quality required for tne Department.
Each proposal must be signed by the individual
or firm making it, and must specify a price, and but
our price, for each and every article contained in the
schedule. Should any articles be required not
enumerated, they are to be furnished at the lowest
market prices, according to quality. Blank forms
for proposals will be furnished at the Department
to persons applying for them; and as without uniformity
therein the Department would find it difficult
to make a decision, none will lie taken into consideration
unless substantially agreeing therewith.
The printing must be executed with new and
perfect type, and on the best paper used for the different
descriptions required. The paper for the
printing will be furnished by the contractor ; the
Department, or the office ordering it, to designate
the kind of paper and type, whether script or
otherwise, and the number to go on a sheet, when
, the matter or article will admit of more than one.
Each clasB will be bid for and decided upon separately,
and all other things being equal, it will be
' assigned to the lowest bidder. Where more than
one class is assigned to a bidder, they may all be
embraced in one contract; and each bidder, who
may have one or more classes assigned to him, shall
take all such classes, or forfeit his right to any portion
of the contract.
All the articles to be furnished and work to be
executed must be of the best quality, and delivered
without delay when ordered, and to the satisfaction
, of the head of the office for which they are required.
The Department reserves to itself the right of
ordering a greater or less quantity of each and every
article contracted for, as the public service may require.
