The Whining Democracy.

The beaten candidates of the democratic
party in the national election lind that
whining does not render their unhappiness
less. They complain that they were fraud
uleutl, kept out of the offices for which
they ran, but they forget that they and
their friends were responsible for the es-
tablishment of the electoral commission,
which counted Hayes in and Tilden out.
They set trap for the republicans and
fell Bto il themselves. Under the circum-
stances such whining as Tilden and Hen
bricks made at the reception of the Man
haitian Club was silly and contemplate.
The New York Herald, in spite of It's
democratic proclivities, administers the
following wholesome rebuke to the whin-
ing democracy: The parade of their
disappointment by the defeated candidates
is indicate, undignifed, unmanly. UNI
usual and regardless of the tranquility and
business interests OF the country. 1t is a
reckless attempt to reopen settled ques-
ton. II these sore gentlemen feel called
to denounce anybody they should de-
nounce their own supporters in the late
Congress. The Electoral Commission
could never have been carried without
strong democratic help. Every democrat
ic Senator voted for it with a single ex-
ception. and large majority of the DEM
ocrats of the House. After agreeing to
the comm sson they were bound to accept
It's decision. When Senator Thurman, the
ablest democrat in either House, was
asked how he thought the commission
would decide, he replied in tone OF re-
buke, that he had no opinion, and that If
be had had an opinion he would not have
voted for the commission. THIS was his
emphatic way of saying that democratic
honor and good faith were bound to ac-
cept the result, whatever it might be.
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks have mis-
timed their energetic protests. Their in
dignant remonstrances should have been
made when the Electoral Commission was
proposed. Having been silent then they
should forever afterward have held their
peace. If they have reason to blame any
body it Is their own political friends in
Congress. When their own party had
consented TO refer the question to the COM
mission lis honor. sincerity. good faith
and manliness were pledged to abide the
result. The unseemly scolding and whin-
ing of the defeated candidates are an i'm
putation on the democratic Senators and
Representatives who spoke and voted for
the Electoral Commission. Without ac-
tive democratic support the commission
would have been impossible. The demo-
cratic candidates dishonor themselves by
rebelling at this late day against settle
ment In which their own supporters in
Congress participated and to which they
consented by their silence"

Max Grebner W.. b. D. Flanders OF al Rtate Of
Louisiana va. d. II. Flanders and Allan Eustis
In this case known as Consolidated Association
Of Planters case. Judge Billings yesterday rem
dered long aud elaborate opinion, from which
we make the following extracts. covering all the
points passed upon.
ITO the bill Of the State OF Louisiana de-
murrer has been filed. but at aD Informal hea ing
previous to tie last vacation l stated that
thought the demurrer well taken IL the bill we're
treated as fled in distinct suit; but permission
was granted TO have the bill Of the state regard
ed as q petition filed In the original suit. As
such shall regard it.
The application Of the State then, Ia that the
court revoke the order appointing the receivers.
consider 10 necessary to notice only three OF the
points presented by the solicitor for the State.
1. That the complainant Grebner, and those
who have joined with him, or may hereafter join
him In the prosecution Of this suit, are not ored-
itors Of the Consolidated Association OF Planters
Of Louisiana.
2. That this court, on account OF the act of
the Legislature OF the State Ut 1853, WAS without
power to appoint receivers.
0. That the corporation is an Indispensable
party TO this suit. without which IL cannot be
Upon the fret point the decision of the court il
that $50 far as relates to the capital Of the bank,
which was to be represented by the bonds and
mortgages OF the Stockholders, the State and the
bondholders are both pledgees, and either might
enforce, by any proper proceeding that pledge"
As to The second point. the court over rules it
also, and decides that the appointment OF receiv-
ers by the court was fully authorized.
Upon the third point, the court says: III. there
fore, the service upon Flanders was not a service
upon the association, he being the last president,
the suit would not ahate, nor would the validity
of the appointment OF receiver be Affected
thereby--it would simply be the duty of the
court to allow the stockholders to be served.
Let the motion on behalf Of the State be, there
fore, over ruled.
The court said that IL was better to have
third receiver appointed, MS differences might
arise between two, and, therefore, TO avoid COM
plicatons, Lieut.. Gov l.. A. Wiltz was appointed
az oo-reoeiver with B. u. Flanders and Allan
Eustis, upon bis giving bond in the same sum
~ was required Of them.

We learn from young man who came
down from Marshall on the Saturday night
train that about hundred and fifty negroes
left there on the Galveston train that day en-
route for Liberia. Our informant did not
learn any of the particulars of the hegira,
but saw the crowd come down to the depot,
apparently headed by white man, and take
the train. He says that one large darkey, in
looking on became SO excited that he. too,
joined the crowd. calling TO n friend to tell
Susan I'm gwine to Liberia and will come
back for her next week" This is all we
know about the matter.

The vineyardists of Southern California are
discouraged and many are proposing to cut
up their vines, because they can only realize
SIS o ton for their grapes. Notwithstand-
ing the enormous yield of grapes in Los An
gelos county-fve to seven tons to the acre
being the usual figure-there is no money in
grape culture at such price. One vine at
Cotton, ten years old, covers an area of thirty
square feet, and this year yielded $50 pounds
of grapes.
