The adoption of Congress has given tho GLoBE

The great celebrity with which tho lettcr-writcrs
for the distant press circulate through tho telo-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the de-
bates of Congress, renders moro important than
ever the full and exact official reports of tho CoN-
oRKssIoNAL GLopR. The hasty-Rnd In many in

tho exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape mOrcor less abbrOvi-
ated, went the rounds Of the press. Now tho
telegraph accounts, with all their impcrfoctions
and variety of colorings, take tho run Of tho
country, and no press but tho official of Congress
ever publishes the full debate with tho proceed
tngs of both houses unmuiated. Indeed, no
newspaper can give them and have room for adj
verhsements and the miscellaneous matter essen
tial TO their existence. While, therefore, tho tel
egraph administers to the eager appetite of tho
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssi-
ties ofthe political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitomo suited to tho tasto of its PATRONS
perfect information of what passos in Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation of the OH
ctal reports has been, TO some extent cut off by
the crude and diversified accounts which, flying
along the electric wires satisfy curiosity, and II
is almost in vain that Truth puts on his boots TO
follow. Still there are great many mon OF

themselves, rather than TO receive impressions al
