TT HAS BEEN LONG THE PRACTICE
of this Office TO pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United

quarterly pay. II was established TO accommo-
date the contractors, and meet their necessities, in
advance of the regular and slewer process Of pay
ing by the drafts warrants of the department.
and was intended only to apply TO one draft per
route from each contractor for the ac0ke amount,
(deducting fines, collections &c.,) of his quarterly
pay; but it has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as 10 be supposed 10 allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingin the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation Qor
il was never anything more) has thus been made
10 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 quasi sanction OF

exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures 10
the assignments or endorsements of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
, made 10 pass before their presentation.
II is therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice 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 filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, thai is tie only
