TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
II of this Office to pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated 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 draft per
route from each contractor for the ioioie amount,
tdeducting fines, collections, &c Of his quarterly
pay; but II has been, and is quite genarally so
misunderstood, as 10 be supposed to allow any
number Of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ngl the aggregate the contract pay for the quar-
Ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation flor
II was never anything morel 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
this Office, species of paper currency unauthor
ICED by the laws.
II 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.
II 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 zach route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, that IS the only
