Potatoes In Kentucky Style.

The potatoes are sliced thin, as for fry
ing, aud allowed to remain in cold water
for half an hour. The slices are then
put in pudding dish, with salt, pepper,
and some milk-about halt pint to an
ordinary pudding dish. They are then
put into the oven and baked for an hour.
When taken out lump of butter half
the size of hens egg is cut into small
bits and scattered over the top. Those
who have never eaten potatoes cooked
thus do not know all the capabilities OF
that excellent esculent tuber. The Sic
ing allows the interior of each potato to
be examined, hence its value where po-
tatoes are doubtful, though poor ones are
not of necessity required. The soaking
in cold water hardens the slices, so that
they will hold their shape. The milk
serves to cook them through, and to
make nice brown on the top; the
quantity can only be learned by expert
ence; if just a little is left as rich
gravy, moistening all the slices, then it
is right. In this year of small and poor
potatoes, this method of serving them
will be very welcome to many house
keeper. The only trouble about it is,
that every one will eat twice as many as
when the potatoes are cooked in the or
binary way.

From South Carolina.

Columbia, s. c., December 11.-Judge
Bond rendered his decision to-day in the
ease of the State Board of Canvassers,
brought before him on hdbeds corpus. He
holds that the Supreme Court had no juris.
diction over the Board, and that all its acts
were illegal aud void. He expresses his
satisfaction in the belief that the whole
question will be brought before the Supreme
Court of the United States, and that there
decision will be rendered which will be &C.
cepted by both sides as correct and inn
partial.

cratic House, to day, ballot was taken for

trict OF Columbia and Territories of the
United States. Referred. The resolution
Of Mr.. Mitchell providing for inquiry into
the appointment OF the Oregon Elector,
was taken up. Mr.. Bsyard spoke at some
length in favor of amending the preamble
of the resolution, so that violations Of law
should not be charged upon Governor
Grover before Investigation was made.
Pending the DISCUSSION, Mr.. Edmunds de-
manded the regular order, and the Senate
resumed the consideration of the joint res
olution proposing an amendment to the
Constitution SO as to have the count of the
Electoral vote made by the Supreme Court
of the United States. After some discus
sion, the amendment was rejected, 81 to A..
In the House, the bill to utilize the products
of gold and silver mines was considered.
Speeches in favor Of double standard OF
gold and silver were made by Durham and
Willard. The latter is a member of the
Silver Commission, and declared that the
testimony taken by that Commission was
largely in favor of the double standard.
Messrs. Garfield, Hewitt and ChitteLden
made strong speeches against action on the
subject, pending the report of the Silver
Commissioners. Mr.. Kelly argued in favor
of the bill, and of a double standard of
money. The debate on the silver bill being
closed, the substitute propose previously by
u
is that the silver dollar of the weight Of
4l2M grains shall be coined, aud shall be O
legal tender for all debts public and private,
except where payment of gold coin is re-
quired by law. The House then voted by

thus amended, and the bill passed. Yeas,
