THE GLOBE;
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary


rJNHE approach of Congress calls out the annual
| Il Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment
The time is full of interest. The coming in of a
new Admlnlstraton-the consequent broaching OF
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
countryside new and most important issues arising
from the late vast accession to the public domain
and the great national objects associated with it,
| the impending difficulty in our relations with
France, and the possible complication of our affairs
with the troubles Of Europe,-conspire to create
great expectation to the proceedings of the next
Congress. The approaching session will probably
continue till late in the summer of 1880 The de-
bates, from the agitation of so many questions of
vital interest 10 the Republic, will draw forth all the
talent of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliberations home to the people, each succeed
ing day, while measures are maturing, is in effect
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the remoest
parts OF the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
To become useful instrument, however hum
Bile, 10 assist the working of the admirable ma
chnery OF our popular institutions, is the ambition
OF the conductor of the GLOBE. Extraordinary
preparations have therefore been made to meet the
increasing demands OF our rapidly improving and
growing country for Congressional intelligence.
The GLOBE Press has already enlisted the abest
Reporters yet known TO Congress; its materials
and machinery Of the best sort; and the exclu-
sive devotion OF the individual who for so many
years has made II his study 10 embody and publish
the abors Of Congress, gives 10 hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment Of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased inn
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent on the additional number of Reporters
required-the extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates Of the preceding day-the vast
addition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports giyen,will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall 30 far patronise It as 10 become purchaser
OF such portion Of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute TO make the reports that fill them The
undersigned has yentured ON the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price,
AZ will in part, defray the expense OF reporting,
aud give them circulation Congressional docu-
ments IN their several districts. This will enable
the publisher 10 bear the charge Of reporting, and
IL will give an impulse TO the circulation Of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
I'm the Union, 1.-THE expense Of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent.
JoBS G. RIvEs having purchased the interest Of
+. p. BLA1R in Jackson Hall-the printing Office,
machinery and material-bccomes the sole propric-
tor thereof and will give his exclusive attention 10
the Congressional Department. J. G. PICKETT will
conductive Miscellaneous Department Of the News
paper. y. p. BLAIR rctires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
The GIobE will be published daily during the
session Of Congress, and weekly the remainder Of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
OF a WEEKLY GLoBE, CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
an APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GIoBE will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
give debates Of such importance az command uni.
ycrsal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLonE is reduced 10
one dollar, with view 10 obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
81 per annum viii be charged only 81 after the
expiration Of the first year.
The CorGRgsaoNAL GLoBE will embody, az il
has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
proceedings and debates exclusively.
The APPENDIX will embrace the revised speeches
separately, and the messages Of the President Of
the United States and the reports Of the Heads Of
the Executive Departments.
The CoSoREssIoSAL GLosE and APPESpIx will
be published fast the proceedings Of Congress
will make a number. Subscribers mayexpect one
number Of each a week during the first four weeks
Of a session, and two or three numbers Of each
week afterwards, until the end Of the session Each
volume will probably comprise two thousand royal
quarto pages, Of small type.
Complete indexes to the CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE
and Appendix will he sent TO subscribers soon after
Congress adiourns.
Nothing Of political party ASPECT will appear in
the CLopg save that which will BE- found in the
Congressional Reports. A paper assuming 70 be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
lie character IL the editorial columns reflect party
