PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VyHE APPROACH or CONGRESS calls for the
j renewal Of my proposals. and preparations 70
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II 10
hoped will continue. and enable me TO pcrpetuate
the full history Of hc proceedings and di;eussons
fbe adoption Of Congress has given the GLopr
al ofcia character as the reporter q all that is
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus con6ded has been performed.
The great ceierity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the
relations by telegraph Of what occurs In Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly. IN
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the prcss. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inporfections and variety OF colorings, take
the runof the cosatrya and press bat the ofciai
Of Congress ever pd0nfnes tng run debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential 10 their existence. While, therefore. the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress news, and meets the neceSsi
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited 10 the taste OF its patrons
perfect information of what passes in Congress 10
greatly dimnished, The circulation ol the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil BY the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity. and is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there are great many men oil leisure and
thought who like to see what 10 actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There are Others too, who Tor
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves a full record OF the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public. u.l
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance Of the
duty be has undertaken a. the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised IN iess than 3,oO0
royal quarto pages OF brewer and nonPsreil type,
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1870 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages oach. ys.
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the Sos
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense Of
the publication. the subscription price VIII be the
same that il has been for several yoars past.
