This attempt of Birift a nd Bry.ler to procure the contrast would have been entirely successful but for the intervention of several other bidders, silio,.being engaged to the busirosis r of lumbering, were anxious to obtain a contract -with the goy rumens.

But the bids item aged° epos the basis of an entire delivery ; before' the An of February, 1859, involving unusual expenseined risk. The successful bidders promptly took steps to complete their contracts. General Berry, of Maine, was applied to by Messrs. Bustan - d,Lawrence to become their security. Before doing so he wrote to his friend, Mr. John Appleton, Assistant 'See• fetal . ; of State, is °Vale an extension of the time for delivery. Mr. Appleton applied to the Secre tary of the Navy, and was informedlhat if the eon. , tracts were not complied with ho would buj the timber in open market, and charge it against them under the law.; Mr. Appleton urged that, unleu the timber was needed fur Immediate use, it would certainly be better to extend the tawnier its delii ery, and then get it at a low rate, rather than per. chase it atones at high rams., The Secretary eild he would consider that point before lee decided.— Mr. Appleton called ttusseeend tiumAind was then Informed by the Secretary of the Navy that - Mr. Swift had offered to take the contract at the rates proposed, by the lowest: bidden.; and 'be heti 11.7- eropted his offer. y ! - 'lifr.

In this 'case the Secretary had no more power -to erase into a contract with Swift than if the lad ,vertiseasent of Jane 1i, 1858, had never been is. sued. By the terms, of that advertisement one half of the timber was. to be delivered on the 'lot of September, 1858, and the rest en or before the Ist day of Fahroary,•lBs9. It wee oat poseible to award the eontrieti Originally advertised for to any one. Oa the 2241 day of September, when the contract was entered into with Swift, it :was man ifestly absurd and impossible to award a contract to any one to deliver timber nu:the Ist day of the same September..
