TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal oimy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II is
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and DISCUSSIONS
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends;
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction han 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates oi
Congress- renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oithc CoSGREssIoNAL
GLOBE. The hasty and in many instanceser pdrte,
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 lees abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their impcrfections and variety OF colorlngs, take
the run Of the country and no press but the Official
OF Congress- ever publishes the iull debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xstence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect Information of what passes In Congress IS
greatly diminished. The circulation OF 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 II s al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full, record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com.
mensurate with the Increased Importance oil the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
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 III less than 3,oo0
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1890 royal
quarto pages, and were bound III volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal qusrto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses,
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE viii be published during the
session on a superfine double royal sheet II will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoSoREssIoNALGLo LOBE and APPESDIx.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE 10 made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with email
type (brevier and norpareil,) IN quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
pix All resolutions, motions and other proceed
iugs, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL 10 printed IN the same form
as the CoNe REssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or elk weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than VIII make
two numbers weck-onc OF { e CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of n session there ia usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers oil each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore | calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3, 500 large qudrto pages printed IN small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes To both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
