TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
u OF this Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails for the amounts, respectively OF their
quarterly pay. II 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 10 one drah per
route from each contractor for the achoke amount,
(deducng fines, collections, &c,) Of his quarterly
pay; but il has been, and is quite gen.rally so
misunderstood, as to be supposed TO allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed.
ingin the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
tor. A privilege conceded for accommodation (for
il was never anything morel has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business Of this Office,
forced upon il the settlement Of the private ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with a quasi sanction oi
this office, species of paper currency unauthor-
lied by the laws.
II not unfreauently 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.

hotce TO contractors and all concerned that from
