Moses, vetoing the Act to repeal the Aetatthorizing stenographers for the Ifirst and Fifth Circuits. The Governor gives the fdllowing reasons for his aetive. The office in question has been long established in many of the Northern and Western States of the Union, and has been found by experience to be a powerful aid in' the ad ministration of justice. The bench, bar and people of those States are greatly averse to its aboli tion or disuse, ad the same appre elation of its value obtains to a very large extent in the two circuits of this State in which the system has been tried. It is a fittiag accompani ment to the useful judicial sfstems which now prevails in our State, and is a part and parcel of the new and reconstru.ted South Carolina, as op posed to the slow and tedious practice in use in our courts in the days be fore the War. Tn the First and I"if Circuits especially qiestions of grive importanoc are cons'taiitly arising which have an imntediate and. muo. inentous hearing upon the inteI c.fs of the people of the whole State, and *the labo- or the Judges in these nir. 'ouits is giee'ally more ar.luoius th an are those of the other Judges, render ing the aid of the stenographer in dispensable to the eilicient dischaige of their important duties. Suitors i< the courts save til tim-e and expeis more than double the amount of th. small fee that has to be paid by the party "cast" in tile suit, and in the paymnt,.. of j1rMrs and witrieses in the Courts of Common Plens and General Sessions, the Coun ties in these circuits save a great deal more than th'o hala'nees they ate usually required to muke lip. After thorough examinatioo of the premi. sea, it is my deliberate judgment that the true economfy which we have promised to the people will be best subserwd by the law as it new stands. On la call of the yeas and nays, the veto was sustained by a vote of twenty aseven to fifty, on the 4uestioni ',hall the hill become a law, the ob jections of the Governor hbwitlhstaiA inIg ?" .'*; U. to revise and amend tile Aet'elating to the home stead was read tV" third time, paseed and ortdeted to be-iffrolled for i-atifi oati on.
