The GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
Tx approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread aus
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped wu
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the iu
history OF the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter of all that
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted al every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties The press,
too, OF all parties has borne testimony the faei
ity with which the duty thus conided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work. are submitted in proof of its fullness, tar
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, page of notices which are III

The great celebrity with which Che lstter-writeIs
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
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-
cREssonAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the eyact reports taken down hv reporters, and
which formerly, In shape more less abhr--
Flutcuv went inc TOunuS OF the press. NOW the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfecti0ns
and variety chickering's, take therun of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
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
ters 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 Informs
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dmm-
ished. The circulation of the official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men oflesure and thought VINO
like to see What is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than 20
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize a work which
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations corn
mensurate with the increased Importance Of In,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350G
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
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next
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 it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoHs will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates aa taken down by the report
ers, and as stersd 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 is, to enable Mem.
bers to their remarks in 1t, and alter them iftneY
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form are sometime condensed-the full report 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 and nays on every important ques-
ton. d
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
aIf sSpeeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week---one of the CoNGREs-
srogAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week The next session will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nontareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surplusc opes 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
worn, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the ConeREssIoNAL GLOBE or the APpENDix, and
will thank any person who Will let me have them

CLONE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon !; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There are 25 back volumes.
