They will be printed on double royal sheet,
in book form, royal quarter size, each number
containing sixteen page>. The whole will
make, il is believed, beIvcen $500 aud 3. $40

have ranged between those numbers, and the
next sessions will be what is termed ''lOng

the average number of words of the long ses

ber OF pages is 1876, and the average number
Of words on page Is 4 ,397, consequently the
average number CT words Oi a long session is
9,2G0.772. As have sold TO the subscribers
that number Of words for S6,il follows thai they

An act of Congress authorizes these papers

new Administration, and several complex
questions must be discussed IN it; for exam
pie, the currency, Kansas, revenue, and other
questions. The Globe will be. as heretofore,
the only source from which iull debates can be
