AND APPENDIX, TO remind subscribers, and in-
to rm those who may desire TO subscribe, that
Congress will meet on the FIRST Monday of next

ing the above named papers. They have been
pu blisbed 80 long, tnat most public men know
their character, and therefore deem 1t need
less to give II minute account OF the kind oil
matter they will contain.
The DAILY GLOBE will contain a report OF
the Debates in both branches of Congress as
taken down by reporters equal, at least, TO
any corps Of shorthand writers in this or in
any other country. majority Of them will,
each, 10 able 10 report, per6dtim, ten thousand
words an hour, while the average number OF
words spoken by fluent speakers rarely ex-
ceeds seven thousand five hundred words an
hour. When the debates OF day do not make
more than iorty-five columns, they will ap-
pear in the Daily Globe OF the next morning,
which " i'll contain, also, the news of the day,
together with such editorial articles as may
be suggested by passing events.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX
will contain a report OF all the Debates in Con-
gress. revised by the speakers, the Messages of
the President of the United States, the An
nual Reports of the Heads OF the Executive
Departments, the Laws passed during the ses-
sio n. and copious indexes TO all. They will
be printed on double royal sheet, In book

ing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it
is believed, between $500 and 5000 pages, the
long sessions for many years past have ranged
between those numbers and the next session
will be long one This believed is the cheap
est work ever sold in any country, whether
reprint or printed from manuscript copy, Ia
king for data the average number OF words OF
the long sessions since the year lS48 The
average number of pages is 3,ST6, and the av-
erage number words On page is 1897 on
seauenty the average number OF words OF
long session is 9,290,772 AS have sold 10
subscribers that number of We rds for sir dol

sir and one half cents for erery loo, 900 pords

reporters Sc 20 for every 1897 words, of this
work, in manuscript
The coming session WILL without doubt, be
an unusually interesting one, because the can
dates of the respective parties for President
and Vice President of the United States will
he nominated before it closes, and, therefore,
the debates will be mostly on such political
questions as it may be thought, will tend to
influence public opinion in regard 10 the per-
sons to be supported for these Offices, and the
Globe viii he, as it has been for many years
past, the only source from which the full de-
bates of Congress can be obtained.
