the common clause of their specific contracts,
binding them to have cars exclusively for mails

herein aims to accomplish. If he will take
due care that his instructions on this head are
everywhere carried out, he will do away with
fruitful source of embarrassment to his De-
partment, and injury to the corresponding
community.
