Senator Dorsey, states that tho ex-senator has
a contract for carrying the mails from White
River to Rawlings, a distance of $50 miles,
which was sublct to a man named Perkins,
and that last summer Perkins threw up his
contract in antic patton Of extorting higher
compensation. The contract was, however,
sublct TO another person, which greatly in
censed Perkins, and he refused to let go the
service, and only did so on an order from the
Department to postmasters to deliver tho mails
only TO tie second party. Perkins then de-
slroyed the forage on the route and burned the
grass, and also melted the Indians to do tho
same and commit other ontrages along the
route. Mr.. Reidcll attributes the present i'll
feeling and recent outbreak of the Utes pri-

has in revenge stirred them up by recalling
