THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

HE dpPTuuCH Vi SOHSIeSS Calls iOI tHt ISHeWdi
of my proposals and preparations to spread lis |
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete 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 CLIQUE
official character 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 hdel
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, are submitted in proof of It's iullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are III
type
The great CELEBRITY with which the etter-wriiers
for the distant press circulate through the tele
grap their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the ey act reports taken down bv reporters, 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 colorlngs, take The run OF the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmuated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
isence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tera the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidlywritten eptome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect nforma-
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
w.res, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN vain
that truth puts ON his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men oflesure and thought who
| like to wi at 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 patroniZe work which
preservesa full record of the dongs of the great
| moving and controlling power of the Republic.
| The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate 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 quaro 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 vol
! umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
! will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
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
i expense Of the publications the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on "a superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates MS taken down by the report
ers, and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
| .If AZ
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
hers their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE end APPENDIX.
The CoNcREss,oHAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
pnges. The speeches of the Members, in this first
| form are sometime condensed-the full report of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
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.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form rs the CONGRESSIONAL GLonE and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during ses ION.
| During the fist month or six weeks Of a ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u Week-one OF The CONGRESS
| SOCIAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-
| GREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
| We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies supply all that may be mscarried,
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
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 few copies of the back volumes Of the
Co>GREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
as volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon and when they are, they VIII
then, no doubt, command at least slO volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
There are Is back volumes.
