NOTICE TO q. s. MAIL CONTRACTORS

Norember l, 1853.
TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
i Of this Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails, for the amounts respectively of their
quarterly pay. 1t was established TO accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities in
advance of the regular and slower process of pay
ing by the drafts or warrants of the department,
and was intended only TO apply TO draft per
route from each contractor for the tchoie amount
(deductng fines, collections, &c.) of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as 10 be supposed to allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingn the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar-
ter. privilege conceded for accommodation flor
il was never anything more1 has thus been made
10 cmbarrass materially the business of this Office
forced upon it the settlement of the pirate ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this office, species of paper currency unauthor-
ised by the laws.
Il not unfrequenty occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed TO great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness Of the signatures TO
the assignments or endorsements of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation.
1t is therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice to contractors and all concerned that from
and after the LIST day of January, 1854 but one
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or fled for payment in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, thai IL IS the only
for the quarter aud the route doth TO be speci-
fed) on which it is drawn: and the signature there
to should BE- attcaed by the postmaster the place
Whsrc 1t may be aya1on and one other aCness and
