So much has been said about the length of the sessions of the late legia laturejit may be well to fiw'jt compare the num ber ofi days during which the two legbdatnres were ! n sewsion arid see if the CJonaery alive one win riot a decided improvement in this respect. The Radical legislature firrt assembled on tlie lt day Of July, 18GH, and adjourned on the 24lh , day of Aogust, having ibceti in session fifty-live .lays.! fit gain met on.tha 2.6th day of Novero Iter and, with the . exception of a rectus from - December 21st to January 4th,1 was in seasdon laitillbe 12th day of April, 1869, being just one hundred and thirty-five days.

I'm wen including the impeachment trial of fifty days, the Conservative legislature was in session one hundred und ninety days, while the Kadicai legislature waa In lcion 'three hundred andour, a difference of nearly br mdhitfis. In conse- qiiciice of the disft-anchi!mert of our old and experienced kcislatcrs by a vindictive Radical ,Cwjgrc$s, the members of thej late legwhitUTel were almost all young aii( inexperienced neii, ' not accosfomed to the duties o(a legUlatnr, and of course, the machinery of legis?ation did not at lirst move Very rapidly. Agaiu, it mnsT be remembered that the executive and judiciary and legislative departments of lie state govern-- ( jnent were all in aconl and laeting in unison luring the terra of the Kadieaf loislature, and there wan nothing to delay or protract legisla tion, so that it wa plain nailing over a smooth nea; but withho Conservative legislatnre it was very ditlercnt fur the executive and judi ciary both did ail within their 'power, resortinj; even to unconstitutional mealxures to hinder, delay, emb.irrass and counteract the legislation Of this body, and thus greatly1 protracting the length of iu sessions. Now let us compare the cost jnnd expcnses'of flie Iwo legislatures aa stated by that Auditor's reports. The cost of the Kadicai legislature was as follows, vis: for the special session of JSCS, $78,421 80V for the, session of l86-'69, $181,102 10; and for the session of lS6a-70, t S161.15J 70; making a grand jto total of four liundretl and thirty thousand niha Imndrt nm fifty-eight dollarsand sixty ceiU($4aO,9.38 CO, or in other-words the Radical legislature was" iiam oy uie impoverisncq people : of North .yarolina nearly a-hdj million of dolldri.

And the high char acter of the men selected for public offices has acted like a charm in inspiring fresh he pes for the future of the State. It is seen nowhere more distinctly than iu the harmony and spirit which mark the delib erations of County Conventions, and in 'the character of the men nominated by them for the General Assembly. Good men are brought forward good men who have heretofore stood back or were forced back by disabilities, r radicalism on the rampage. I he presence of these men once more before the people will trouble the radical heroes who have heretofore in solently borne sway, and chase away the color from faces brazed by the successful practice of impudence in the political arena. It is cheering to chronicle eviden ces of returning pood order, and the hopes of prosperity which spring therefrom ; and if the people shall press their advantage in these indications it will not be long be fore they will realize better hopes than those of the present hour.

The address n connection with the Parochial.renorf nf i! different Clergymen, showed the general pros le peronsciindition of the church in this Diocese.

In response to the warm and cordial invita tion of the delegates from that parish, it was resolved that the next annual Convention be held in St. John's Church, Favettcville, on the 3d Wednesday in May, 1873. " The commiitee on the permanent Episcopal fund was instructed to receive pledges to the amount of $40,000, none to be jwid unless U.e whole amount be raisid. The standing committee for the ensuing vear is as follows : Rev. It. S. Mason, I). D . Rev. A. Sinedes. P. D, J.C. Huske, Hon. W. II. Rattle, Hon. D. M. Rarnnger.

J. Ik-Rosett, Geu. S. F. Paiterson. Dr. DeRosett was re-elected Treasurer of the DiiK-ese by acclamation. A new cannon was adopted, renuirinr tire clergy to take up monthly collections, where practicable, ami where not practicable, quarter ly, for the current missionary fund. it was decided lo apjly to the other Dioceses for permission, under the new cannon, to elect an assistant Bishop at tlie next annus 1 conven tion, provided, sneh action shall not operate to prevent a division of the DiiK-ese at any subse quent time; in which latler event the aVistiint Bishop shall lie Bishop of the Diocese not se lected by the present Bishop. Though the representation was not as large as on some former eccasious, there ban probably never been a more pleasant or harmonioiis convention held 111 the Diocese. The list of delegates stows the IxsJy to have been one of much talent ami exalted character, and alto gether worthy of the high trust re Mined in it. Several excellent sermons were preached by different clergymen during the week to large and appreciative congregations. On Sunday morning Bikhop Atkinson preached an able, practical and rat hoi ic sermon, on which occa sion the church was filled to overflowing. On Sunday night four persons were confirmed, and the services incident to the convention, and the Rishop's visit to this parih, closed. The eople Of Salisbury seem to have been well pleased that the convention was held in their midst, and pleasant memories of the occasion will long linger in tho minds of many of them. SPIRIT 0FTHE PRESS- ! Wilmington Journal. If it shall be thought best to sunnort Mr. Greeley, we shall da so to thfe best of our ability, It will undoubtedly require some sacrifice of feeling for a Democrat to support his life long adversary. Mr. Greeley has a bad record, bad in the far . :i" t. ' j . . . past ami uau m tne neai past, indeed, it is possible that it is the knowledge of this very fact that gives him his strength at the iSorth. Bat it is not with the past that we of the South have now to deal. We can afford to forget, if not to forgive, the mere records of men who, bavin? the power, manliest a willingness to aid ns in our great struggle for our lives, our lib erties and our proneriv. But sunnose when the Convention meets it has bfen plainly; demonstrated that Jlr. Greeley has no tich strength at he North as is now claimed for him; or. s oppose the delegates from Northern Democratic States declare with unanimity that the party there will not support Mr. Greeley, n.$at ui? endorsfcmenl at Baltimore will ensure-. the ; loss of those States What I then t Or. sunnose the ' whole Northern wing of the party is tcnosed io vrccirr i uai men l ll must DC remembered that Northern Democrats have not been ground, lnU' the dust by tne iron heel ot uraat JJespotism and do not therefoie feci so keenly as do Southern Democrats the exigency of the occasion. We cannot condemn Northern Democrats for having some regard a their own section when we admit that our own first and lust thought is for the South. Is the South to say thai she will have Greeley or no one; that! she will have Greeley or bolt! If this be our determination it is idle to go to Baltimore. And yet the South will be entitled to a great, if not a controling, influence in the Convention. Her large electoral vote must command for her wishes, her wants and her suggestions the respectful consid eration so eminently their due.
