ID. Under the act of March 3, 1845. the route.is to be let to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaranties for faithful performance, without other reference to the mode of transportation than may be necessary to provide for the due celerity, certainty, and security of such transportation.

When the lowest bid proposes a mode of conveyance that is inadequate for the route in respect to the certainty, security, and celerity of the mails, aside from any accommodation for travel, it will not be entitled to the route. 20. When the bid does not name a mode of conveyance, it will be taken and understood to be for the lowest mode of conveyance, to wit, on horseback.— When it proposes to carry according to the advertisement, and no mode of conveyance is stated for the route in the advertisement, it will be considered as offering only for horseback conveyance. 21. Since the passage of the act of March 3, 1845, a new description of bid has been received. It specifies no mode of conveyance, but engages to carry the mail with certainty, celerity and security, using the terms of the law. These bids aro called, from the manner in

of the Department, "star bids." It has been decided, after mature consideration, that a bid proposing a specific mode of conveyance of as high a grade as two-horse coach transportation is to be preferred to the star bid. The experience of the Department enables it to lay down the following rules, viz:
