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
an 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 fide
ity 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 fulness, 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 etter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the CoE-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances pdrte, 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 or less abbre-
| waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
| 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, the telegraph admins
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 It's patrons perfect nforna-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
| lshed The circulation fthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almosr in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men OF leisure and thought who
like to see W ut is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuraie 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
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quartu pages of brewer and nonpare type
making volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
unies, averaging 974 royal qunrto pages each.
] will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 1t has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will he published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter The main object
for publishing the daily paper Isl to enable Mem
beers 10 see their remarks in it, and alter them fhey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRgssoNkL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
tyne (brevier and nonpareil,) in quprto FORM
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full repor, of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedIngs, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas aud 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 II, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form the CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during u session.
During the first month or six weeks of SEES
SION there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGREs-
sIorAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there rs usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cox
GRrssIoNAL GLogE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevier and nonparell. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session
We will endeavor TO print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all 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 1t will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. wh give
