PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEwsPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal ofmy proposals and preparations PAR TO
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter riters
for the distant press crcu through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports Of the
GLopE. The hasty, and in many instances er p0rtf,
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 less abbreviated. went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings. take
the Of the country. and no press but the ocial
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their cxistence Whhe' therefore. the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties Of the political press, BY furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information of what passes in Congress ia
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 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow:
Still there are q great many men OF leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gaivanic batteries There are 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 Ne
public. |
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 session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised In less than 3,aOO
royal auarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1876 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 97a royal quarto pages each
I 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 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 GLosE will be published during the
session a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object Ior
publishing the daily paper 10 to enable Members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CosGnxssroSAI GLoBE and Appendix:
The CoNaR EssIoSAL GLoss made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF Congress.
and printed q double royal paper, with small
type {brevicr and nonpareil,) in quarto form each
number containing sixtecn royal quaIto pages.
The speeches Of tho Members, in this hrst iorm,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPsN-
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and na ~ every important question.
The APPENDIX 10 made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Ofcers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL s printed in the same form
as the Cosen enEssIoSAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week--one Of & e CONGRESSIONAL
GlopE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
ma,nder OF a session there rs usually SUFFICIENT
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest-
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSGasssiosAL
GIosE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type.
BREWER and nonparcif. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
I will cndeavor to print a sufficient number
of surplus copies 10 supply oil that may be mscar-
ried, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
lie very particular to he their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
IL subscribers shall not be satshcd with the
work, the money paid by them for II will be re-
funded TO them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. will
give subscribers the subscription price FOR any OF
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLOSS
or the AprEsprx, except for tho last session, and
will thank any person who will let Inc have them,
have a few copies Of the back volumes OF the
CosoREssroNAL GLoHE and APPENDIX for sale at
as volume bound. which IL 10 probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then no doubt, command at least BIO a volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.

Bank notes current where subscriber resides will

The prices for thcsc papers arc % low that lean
not afford to credit them out; therefore no person
need order them unless the money aecompanes the
