THE GLOBE.
The Official paper Of Congress.

\
TPUBLISH my annual Prospectus Of The
daily Globe, and The Congressional Globe
And Appendix, to remind subscribers, and
inform those who may desire TO subscri be,
that Congress will meet OIL tie first day OF
next December, when | shall recommence
| publishing the above named papers. They
have been published so long, that most pub
nc men kow their character, and therefore
| | deem u needless TO give minute account
OF the klLd OF matter they will contain.
The Daily Globe will contain report Of
The Debates in both branches OF Congress
as taken by reporters equal, a, least, 10 any
| corps OF shoit hand writers in this country
majority of them will each, lie able to
report verbatim, ten thousand words an
hour, while The average number of words
| spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds
| seven thousand five hundred words an hour
When the debates of a day do not make
more than forty five columns they will ap-
! pear in the daily Globe of the next morn
| ing, which will cnntain, also, the news of
| the day, together with such editorial arlc.
les as may be suggested by passing events
The Congressional Globe and Appendix
will contain a report of all the Debates in
Congress, revised by the speakers, the Mes.
| sages Of the Presden, of The United States,
| the annual reports of the Heads OF The Exc
| cutive Departments, the Laws parsed du.
ring the session, and copious indexes 10 all.
| They will be printed on double royal sheet
| in book form, royal quarlo size, each mum.
| ber containing sixteen pages. The whole
will make, it is believed, between $500
and 1900 pages, the long sessions for mauy
years past having ranged between those
numbers, ard the next session will be
long one. This believe is The cheapest
work ever sold in any country, whether a
reprint, or printed from manuscsipt copy,
taking for Data the average mum Der OF words
of the long sessions since the year 1876
The average number of pages 1875 and
the average number oI words on q page is
1887, consequently the average number o;
a long session is $3.50, s72. AS | have
sold 10 subscribers that number OF words tor
six dulla:s, it follows that they have paid
less than SIX and one half cents for every
100, 900 words have furnished them while
have paid my reporters SO 90 for every
2,367 words, OF this work in manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt,
be an unusually interesting one, because
| the candidates Of the respective parties for
President and Wee President OF the United
States will be nominated before 1t closes,
and therefore, the debates will be mostly
on snch political questions as, il may be
thought, will TEND 10 influence public opin-
ion IN regard to The persons to be support
ed for these offices, aud The Globe will be,
as II has been for many years past the only
source rom which the full debates OF Con-
gress can be obtained.
