debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il 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 as 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 del-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work. submitted in 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 letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports ofthe Cow
oREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph o. what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down hv reporters, and
winch formerly, in shape more or lees abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
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
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
islence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epiiome
suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation Of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and il 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 see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and TO judge for themselves rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpare type
making volumes Of near 300 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArrESpIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 a superfne double royal sheet. IL win |
contain the debates as taken down by the report |
ers, and as sltered by tho speakers. whenever they
make any attentions; the current news Of the |
x,,d .,,fs lab mai
for publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers to see their remarks In IT, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
GLoBE and ArrESDn.
The CoseREssIossL GLoBE Ia made MP Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (breyier and ponpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
paees The speeches OF the Members, in this FIRST |
form, are sometime conference.-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pExptx. 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. -
The ArrEsprx is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal |
Officers Of the Government that accompany Il, and
al Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out OF revised by themselves. IL Is printed 10 the
same form CO the CoreREssrorAL GLOBE, and
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a ses-
sion, there 10 rarely more business done than viii
make two numbers a week--ooe Of the CoseREs-
SOCIAL GioBE and one Of the ArrENDIx; but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there 10 usually |
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session viii be unusually |
interesting therefore, we calculate that the CON-
cprsuosSI GLosE and APPENDIX together will |
make al least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN |
small type--brevier and Donpareil. We furnish |
complete Indexes 70 both at the end Of session. |
We viii endeavor TO print sufficient number |
surplus copies TO supply all that may be mscnrried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular TO ile their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.

work. the money paid by them for il will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
