Sectitin 18 of an act of l.'ongre.-s, approv ed Marcli I«45, provides that eonirocts for the transporiatton of the mail shall be let, in everv case, to ihe lowest bidder tendering suffi cient guarantees for faithlul performance, with out other reference to the mode ot such Irans porlalion than may be ueces nry to provide for the due celerity, certainly, an I security ol such transportation. Under this law a new descrip 1 o11 ol bids lias b»en received It does not spe cify a mode of conveyance, but engages to take the entire mail each trip wiih celerity, certainty, and security, using ih? terms of the law. These bids are styled, from tbp man-ier in which they are des gnated on the books ot the Department, ''Star bills, and they will be c. nstrued as pro viding for the entire mail, kmctxtr targe, and ItlihttTir may be the mod* of Cfitvt ytincr neces sary to insure its "celerity, certainty, and secu~ rity. Such bids will therefore be accepted in pr«*» ference to higher bids for specific modes ot conveyance on routes where the lowest mode ol conveyance (that is, on horseback,) is knoWB to be insufficient. In all casea where the lowest grade of service is believed io be sufficient, fie lowest bid wilj be accepted, if duly guarantied, in preference t» ji **Siar or specific bid.
