Louis Linn Pardnned.

Louis NJ Linn, convicted of murder in the
Marion Criminal Court, December 26, 1878, and
sentenced 10 Imprisonment for life, was par
dOued yesterday by Governor Porter. Inns
crime was the murder of Hi Minniek, who, be-
sides encroaching upon his marital rights, made
himself openly odious about the house ana
finally provoked the murder by brutally striking
one of the children in the presence of Linn, who
at once armed himself and shot Minnck dead.
The circumstances of the murder are still fresh
in the minds of many of the Journals readers. 1t
was a seriously aggravated case, but the evil
denoe showing that Linn had had time for de
liberation before committing the murder,
he was sentenced to imprisonment for
life in the Southern prison. He is now sixty
nine years old, and has served eleven years of
his term For a long time his friends have been
urging executive clemency, and great deal of
pressure has been brought to bear upon the
Governor for his pardon. His release meets
wiTh approval from ali familiar with the ofrculn =
stances of the killing.

THE ARSENAL.
Inability of the City to Grant the Relief
Asked For.

In speaking of the proposed removal of the
United States Arsenal from this point, Alderman
Tucker, last evening, stated to Journal reporter
that no effort would be made by the city gov
eminent to induce the War Department to per
init it to remain, if the matter depended upon
the construction of a sewer, which, 1t is esti-
mated, viii cost the city at least $4,000, and
the State $4,000 additional. When in Washing
ton, recently, Mr.. Tucker had conversation with
Secretary Lincoln regarding the arsenal, and the
latter stated that he had been contemplating it's
removal as the city seemed inditfer-
ent about giving the relief asked,
and it almost impossible to get any appro-
priatiOns from the government for its mainten-
ance Congressman Peelle and Mr.. Tucker pro
posed transfer OF the property TO the city, and
Mr.. Lincoln replied that under the circumstances
he was inclined to think favorably of the propo-
sitiOR. As military station the arsenal Is of no
great importance, and its advantages to the city
are not regarded worth the expenditure OF S4O,-
600 TO retain it. The city has no money to spend
for the purpose, aud the sewer could only be
built by the levy of special tax. IL is under
stood that majority of the Board of Aldermen
are decidedly opposed to giving anything IN aid
Of Its construction.

FED CLOUDS ERRAND.

Red Cloud has returned to Washington to
attend to the business which brought him
there. This business is briefly as follows: Red
Cloud has been since 1869 the leader, by force
both of position and intellect. among the Sioux
who desire TO become civilized. He. and his
tribe sold enormous tracts from time TO time TO
the Government for few cents IN acre, to be
paid IN annuites, which were Immediately put
into the market at 81 and upward. These an
nuities never have been paid. The failure to
pay them and the consequent starvation among
these Indians brought on the Sioux war Oh
1876. During this war Red Cloud headed the
peaceable bands who remained firm IN their
loyalty to the Government They absolutely
refused to take part with Sitting Bull, ana
remained Oh their agencies, mserably poor but
struggling to cultivate the ground. In spite OF
this the Government troops surrounded the
agencies and carried of about 4,OOO ponies.
All the pcaceabe Sioux were forced to come in
and give up their horses. " am no Indian
"lovern wrote white observer of this sur
render, "but If | ever sympathized with any

robbery which Red Cloud now seeks. The pay
mentYshould be prompt and full. This man, to
whom we really owe great debt of money,
has, in spite of ll-treatment for fourteen years,
kept absolute faith with u.s. The Government
cannot afford to steal from him, ut least.
AS to his quarrel with the agent, there are of
course two sides to that story. McGillicuddy
appears to be an energetic, well-meaning, mar

SECRECY IN PUBLIC BUSINESS.

The course of the State Senate In holding
open executive sessions of late has been wise
one and should he continued Nothing is more
conducive to honest government than the keen,
bright sunlight Of publicity. There is really
no good reason why the Senate should hold Sc
cret sessions to take action upon matters affect
ing the whole people. The only excuse offered
for such a course has been the desire to avoid
personal antagonlsns in considering the fitness
of the men named by the Governor to ill public
Offices But that is hardly sufficient reason
for holding secret sessions. member who is
influenced by honorable motives and just prin
ciples has no reason to fear the public judg
ment Of his acts. On the other hand, il a
wrong action is taken in secret the blame can
not always be laid upon the right shoulders.
Often the just and the unjust suffer alike in
such cases from public censure; though con-
cealment does not always accomplish the pur-
pose sought. The Board of Aldermen has just
as much right 10 hold secret sessions to act
upon the Mayors nominations as the State Sen
ate has in considering those of the Governor.
And yet if the Aldermen were to vote in secret
upon such matters there would be few persons
who would not denounce them for it, The gen
eral construction put upon such change would
be probably that it was instigated by John
Kelly or some other political boss to shrk re-
spOnsibility for the acts of his representatives.
There is not even poor excuse, however, to be
offered in behalf of numerous public bodies in
this city that sit behind closed doors to deliber-
ate and act upon questions affecting every cit
izen. The members of the Police Board, Dock
Board, Emigration Commission, Board of Po-
lice Justices, Pilot Commission, Bridge Trus-
tees, Excise Commission, Quarantine Commits
sion, and other public officers, often escape re-
sponsibility for their acts by coLcealing them

position of autocratic power to ignore the rights
of the Indians whom he has in charge. He has
naturally little sympathy with Red Cloud, VINO
is a man of fiue grain and much intellectual
force, and whose position as chief gives him
much influence with his people. Such men as
Professor Marsh claim the chief as a frlend,
but The agent, it appears, has chosen to place
him in the condition of q pauper dependent OH
Government bounty. McGillicuddy, according
to his own statement, has taken it upon himself
to withhold the ratiOns from all such Indians MS
happened to fall under his displeasure. 1t VIII
be remembered this was done to the old chlef
until he was actually made beggar for the
food he ate. The agent should remember tnat
he is only an agent for the distribution OF these
ratiOns, and that these ratiOns are not aims but
the poor pittance of payment made by the
Government of the enormous sums yet que
from it to Red Cloud and his tribe.
DR.. McGillicuddy is also IN Washington en-
deavOriug to procure an increase of salary. 1t
would be well that both his claims and those OF
the great Sioux chief were carefully investi-
gated. and if they prove Incompatible let the
agent be sent to some field OF labor where his
violent preiudices will not so materially impair
his usefulness as they have done at Pine Ridge

from the public in that way. For time during
Mayor Cooper's administration, and at his re-
quest, the Police Board held its sessions In pup
lie. But the members soon found that they
could not Justify many OF their proceedings I'M
der the criticism of the press, and so they re-
lapsed into the old practice of cOncealing them.
Now they give out for publication only so
much of the proceedings of the Board as they
deem best after il has adjourned. This course
cannot be defended. Whenever the Dock
Board, the Emigration Commission or the
Bridge Trustees wish to do something that they
fear the public will not approve, they have the
habit of going into executive session, winch
is convenient cover for secrecy. Inc llloI

cept members of their Board is concerned III
