PR0sPECTUs FOR "THE GLOBE"


THE CONGRESSIONAL, NEWSPAPER.
)YNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal Of my proposalst and preparations to
spreaddts debates before t5f public, The SUCCESS
hoped will continue, and enable me to pcrpetuate
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends u;,ou M
IAN official character the reporter OF all that Is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
land by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
FALL parties, has borne tcstiony TO the fidelity with
which the duty thus confdcd has been performed
The great celerity with which the letter writer's
Ior the distant press circulate through the telegraph
thcir hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
fCongress renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
PGLoBx. The hasty, and in many instances er pdrfe
|relations by Telegraph of what occurs III Congress
|supersede for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and. which formerly, in a
lshape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
bf the prcss. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
thcir imperfections and variety OF colorings take
THE of the country and no press but the oihca
IDf Congress ever publishes the full debate with
THE proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them and have room
Or advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
Essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
Telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
tics OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF ITS patfons'
perfect information of what passes in Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the Official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL ny the
3crudc and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric w,rcs satisfies curiosity ana II sal-
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many nen OF Leisure ana
thought who like to see what Is actually said and
'ione in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
ather than to receive Impressions anoge"ei IRON
xava.,ic batteries There others, too. who. for
Ehe sake OF the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the doings OF the
|grcat moving and controlling power OF the Ke-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
|uensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter anu
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Ef both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in lcss than $500
|royal auarto pages Of brewer and nonparell type,
making 1 volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 3,S9O royal
quarto pages. and were bound III volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
/ will publish i'm the APPENDIX for the next ses
bion all laws that may be passed during the ses
hion which has not been done heretofore Although
khis will increase in no small degree the expense OF
The publication the subscription price Will be the
\Ainc that it has been for several years past
| The DAILY G. LOBE will be published during the
Ression on a superfnc double royal sheet. 1t will
Rontan the debates taken down by the report
evs and altered by the speakers, whenever thcy
&uakc any alterauons the current news oi the day'
Ind miscellaneous matter The main object ior
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
10 see their remarks in 1t, and alter them II they
hall think proper before they are published in the
toso nxssIoxAL G LONE and APPENDIX.
The CoSenEss CLoIH is made up oil the
Haly proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
lad printed on a double royal paper, with small
Sypc (brcvier and nonpareil) in quarto form, each
Number containing sixteen royal quaTto pages
A'hc epecches Of the Members, in this ,hrst form,
aed- fu
3tepared speeches being reserved for the APPxS-
Six All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
lngs are given in the form OF the Journals, with
Ihe yeas and nays on every important question:
| The AppEspiI is made up of the Presidents An
tual Message, the Reports Of the principal Oflcers
u the Government that accompany II, and all
3pceches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
eviscd lhcmsclvcs Ii is printed in the same form
! the CoscREssIoSAL e. LOBE, and usually makes
bout the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF sessiot
here is rarely more business done than VIII make
xo numbers a weok-onc OF { CoSoREssloSAI
LoBx and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
painder Of session there is usually sufficient
natter for two or three numbers OF each every
keek. The next session will be unusually interest
| "; therefore calculate that the CoSoRKssioSAi
J LoRK and APPENDIX together will make at least
II 500 large quarto pagcs, printed in small type
.revicr and nonparcil. Complete Indexes 10 both
i'll be furnished at the end OF a session
