i oft this Office to pay the drafts drawn and nego-

misunderstood, as TO be supposed TO allow any
number Of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed

il was never anything more) has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business of this Office,
forced upon it the settlement of the private ac-
counts Of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this Office, species of paper currency unauthor-

II not unfrequcntly occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the gcnuincness 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 filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face that Il the ony
