Rumor has been very busy during the past week with the 6tory of troubles hanging around the cradle of the baby city of ; Whittier; troub les that came in the stape f finan cial starvation, the outcome of which was said to be the outbreak of want driyvu to ' violeiViygdLdidaynoint- ment driven to rage. - yve naa lo authority to contradict; neither did we have the credulity to believe, sow were silent and . waited. Now we leave something which we give as the correct version, on authority. There have been some financial difficulties the founder of the young city has had to contend with. He had the means; but could not reach them at his will. Difficulties with members of his own family checked remittance, upon which he depend ed and to which . he had a legal claim. These remittances were withheld at critical times; and his power to meet current obligations weakened to the extent of impairing his credit for the time, and raising doubt as to the sincerity of hi3 purposes. These ' fam troubles hove been composed, and the finan cial, current gain, set in motion. Rut just when this came, to "pass, the interruption of rail road facilities began and has only within a few days been corrected., : Dr. Whittier has " but in ample possession ot all that is necessary to meet his obligations. ' ' It had been "his habit to pay his men once a month, giving his checks or orders, which have been and are still readily taken and cashed, at his? own place of business, at the store of W S Cooper, S H-btallcup, Whittier, at and the stores of Y. T. Conley, D. K. Collins anti others at Charleston.

Mr. Dolph said it would be seen .that this, was an important. amendment, intended to commit .

That the necessi ty for a change in the tariff is not apparent or urgent by reason of the fact that all articles have been so cheapened in the lastfew year that there is little or no margin forfurth er decrease and that diminution of the revenue.will not be object of the proposed change of tariff...
