of my proposals and preparations to spread its
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-
pends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBr
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the bodys This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. Thepress,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel
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 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 letter1writers
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 Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part.
the exact reports taken down bv reporfers, and
winch formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety of colorngs, take the run of the coun
try, and 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
tiers to the eager appetite ofths public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly written epitome
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 his boots TO follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries- There are others, too, who, for the sake
| Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record Of the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurnte with the increased importance Of tn,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complies debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming SEES
sion viii probably be extended nine months, anr
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350e
royal qusrto pages Of BREWER and nonparei type
making 4 volumes OF near 800 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal qusrto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APrEsDrx for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the
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 that il has been for several years
past.
The DAnY GLoBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. Il viii
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ere, and as siered 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, 70 enable Mem
bers 10 their remarks in IL, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoHeREssIoskL GLoBE and ArPtsDix.
The CoseRKssioSlL GLoBE ia 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 q0arto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches OF the Members, m this hrst
form, are sometime conference.-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pExp,x All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedines are given in the form Of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every Important qus'-

Officers OF the Government that accompany It, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed IN the
