PAPER.
| The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Its
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
| continue, and enable me to perpetuate the tui
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body which the destiny of the Republic ae-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIopA
an Official character the reporter Of all that ~
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 pra1s
too, Of all parties has borne testimony to the hdss
iiy with winch the duty thus conhded has hssn
! performed The annexed notices, taken at ran
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 ars IN
type
| The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tc,c-
| graph their hurried accounts aud views OF tnt
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Gov
GREssoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte relations by telegraph of wna'
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the eyact reports uken down bv reporters, anu
| winch formerly, IN a 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 o.
| both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspapsI
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their eI
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congreps
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epltome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect inforna
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dlmlh-
shed The circulation of the Official reports has
been, TO some extent, cut off by the crude ana
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 ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done IN Con
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than To
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the saKe
of the future, willingly patronlze work when
preserves full record of the dolngs OF the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
| The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF TN
| duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
| publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, AM
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350(
| roval uuarto pages of brewer and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each =
| The reports for the last long session made 1886
royal quarto pages, and were bound IN four voI-
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the ArPENDIx for the next SEES
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 DAuY GLOBE will be published during IN.
session on superfine double royal sheet 1t Wi
| 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 tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'ec
| for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks it, and alter hem ifthey
shall think proper before they are published IN tn'
| CONGRESSIONAL GLonE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up Of INT
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
and printed on a double royal paper, with sinai
type, (brevier and nonpareli,) in quarto form
| each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this hrs
! form, are sometime condensed--the full report o.
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
prNDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro
ceedings, 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 President
| Annual Message, the Reports of the prlncIpa
!
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, writer
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in tnt
same form as the CoNGREssioNAL GLoBE, and
| usually makes about the same number or paKss
| during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of Il seq
sion. there is rarely more business done than vii
| make two numbers week-one OF the CONGRESS
s,osAl. GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| inc the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacf
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Gov
! GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together VII
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed III
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnlsf
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies supply all that may be mIscarried
or lost in the mails but subscribers should bt
very particular to file heir papers carefully, fol
| fear that we should not be able to supply all the
| lost number.
| If subscr bers shall not be satisfied with the
work, 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 CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have a few copies of the back volumes OF the
| CoyGREss,oNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al
S5 "a volume bound, which it is probable will bt
DISPOSED Of soon and when they are, they viii
then. no doubt, command at least SO volume
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes.
