PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for tn

TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal 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
depends.
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 confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press crc uae 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 CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI porte
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 less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings take
the run Of the country and no press but the Official
OF Congress ever publishes the iull debate with
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 existence While, 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 epiome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
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 on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what 10 actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves a full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance Of the
duty ne 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 $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonparel type,
making volumes Of near 600 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, 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 super6ne double royal sheet Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered 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 to enable Members
to see their remarks in il, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
Con q xssIoNAL G LOBE and Appendix.
The CoNeR EssIoNAL GLosE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress.
and printed u double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonparcl,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
tner oyryp in he fpYn of
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presdente An
nual Message the Reports of the principal Ofhcers
of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised henlselves. IL lie printed in the same form
the Conc EssIoSAh q LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks Of a sessior
there 10 rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of T. e CosoREssIosAt
GLosE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder OF a session there ia usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CosoRkssiosAL
GLoBs and APPENDIX together viii make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
will endeavor to print sufficient number
of surpIus copies to supply all that may be miscar
ried, or ost in the mails; but subscribers should
bc very particular 10 file their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able to supply all the
iOst numbers.
II subscribers shall not be sstsfed with the
work, the money paid by them for IL 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 CosoRrssIoStL g Loek
or the APPESDix, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have few copies OF the back volumes OF the
CoSeaxssIoHAL G. LOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
as volume bound, which IL ia probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are they will
then, no doubt, command at least 10 volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There are 25 back volumes.

Bank notes current where a subscriber resides will

all the numbers.
The prices for these papers go low that can
not afford 20 credit them out; therefore no person
need order them unless the money accompanies the
order. JOHN C. RIVES.
