THE tL0BE-TEE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
! PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before The public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perPetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
Ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
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, and by members of all parties. The press,
too of all parties has borne testimony to the idel-
lity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor or the
work, submitted iii 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 lstter-writers
for the distant press circulate through tire tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca paTte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with ell their mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the
Try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
stence. 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 rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ZION of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. The circulation Of the Official reports has
been, 10 some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t 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 at is actually said end done in Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There Others. too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly ratronize work which
preserves full record of the doings oC the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming seq
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quariu pages of BREWER and nonpare type
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, aud were bound in four vol
umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the
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 il has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during The
session on superhne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates az taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any attentions; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
hers to their remarks IN it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CosGREssioNAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
aud printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (5revier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal Guario
pages. The speeches OF the Members, in this first
form, are sometime coudensed-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP
PEHDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedlngs, are given in the form Of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
tion.
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 OY themselves. III rs printed IN the
same form as the CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during ses' ion.
During the fist month or six weeks of SEES
sion, there is Tureiy more business done tnan VIII
make two numbers a week-one of the CoNGREs-
stoEAL Clone and one OF the APPENDIX ; but dur
ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually
sufficient matter fyr two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-
cREssloNAL GLoBE and APPESDix together will
make al least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type--brevier and nonpareil. " furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply oil that may be miscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular TO file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for il viii be re-
funded to them Gheneyerthey return the numbers
which have been received by them. ! viii give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the ArPENDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
