THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread i,a
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character the reporter of all that III
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members Of all parties. The press,
too Of all parties has borne testimony to the fde-
ty with which the duty thus confded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
| ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
tyRel ;,, ,;, ;, ;,
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
cREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty. and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ak
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress-
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
press. by furnishing rapdly-written epitome
suited the taste of its patrons, perfect inforna-
ton of what passes in Congress liz greatly dmn-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men of leisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather Than TO
receive Rgfs af9 too, Who for the sake
| of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power OF the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance of tn.
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress-. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, anr
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OG
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparei type
making volumes Of near 800 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1876
roval ouarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal qunrto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion. which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will increase in no small degree the
expense of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past. -
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
| he ai,ate as report
ers and as sltered by the speakers whenever they
| make any alterations; the current news OF tins
day, and miscean matter. The main object
for publising the daily paper Is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks IN IT, ana AFTER them they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
dailv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
tyne, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royai Puar'o
npoes. The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
prnp,x All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton. ,
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed IN ihe
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE ana
usually makes about the same NUMBER " P"Se'
