The Asheville Messenger advocates an extra session of the Legislature, because several of the laws of last session need much amendment. That paper says that it is the opinion of many that the Central Railroad can never be built under the provisions of the present act. And the Western Turnpike Road, he says, needs remodelling, as also the revenue bill.

It is altogether too late now to talk of an extra session. Besides that, we are opposed to most kinds of extras; but if you will advocate annual sessions of the Legislature, with biennial elections, we are with you, Mr Messenger.
