| The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character as the reporter OF all that Is
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 70 the hde-
| 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, submirtedin proof Of its fullness, FAIR
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
TYPE!
The great celebrity with which the Underwriters
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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-
GREssIoHAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfe, relations by telegraph Of what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, In a shape more or 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 full 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 ex-
istence. While, therefore, fas slsgraph admins
the eager appetite oftns public Tor Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdly-written epitome
suited TO the taste Of its patrons erfect inforna
ttion Of what passes in Congress IS greatly dimin-
i ished The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut OF by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and !. - almost IN vain
