The Arrest of Gov. Medary.

The telegraph announced some weeks back
that Gov. Samuel Medary. the veteran DEM
ocra,c editor of Ohio, had been arrested by
the United States authorities. In due course
of mail we learn from the newspapers that
he was indicted by the Grand Jury of the
U. S. District Court, at Cincinnati, with con-
spiracy against the Government, in being
connected with the Knights of the Golden
Circle.
To those who know Gov. Medarv person.,
ally and politically, this will sound strange,
and would be amusing, were it not another
attempt, to strike at free speech and free
press. The idea that Sam Medarv. the
white-halred man of seventy years whose
vigorous pen has always made an Open manly
fight against the enemies of democracy and
free government, should be engaged in mid
night plotting, in imitation of the miserable
political leagues that have existed from time
to time in the last ten years, is simply ride
ulous. His whole life gives denial to such
charge. II is not his style. lie believes
in an open fight, and no conceament. He
has never struck his blows from behind, or
in the dark-but full in the front of his op-
ponents-and never lodged their return
blows. His Oldest political foes, at his home
never accused or suspected him Of conspiracy
in secret political chambers. against ndivid-
uals or the government, but it has been LETT
for some of the tools Of power to trump up
a charge before U. S. Grand Jury, and
upon one sided evidence (of peljured witnes
ses,) indicted him Tor conspiracy against the
laws and peace of his country.
Gov. Medary was admitted to bail for his
appearance at the next term of the court
That he will establish his entire innocence,
and confound the hired perjurers who will
appear agains; him, does not admit of doubt.
In the meanwhile his voice and pen will lack
none in contending for right and denouncng
wrong.

MONEY MATTERS.- The new Banking House
about to be established in this city, gives assur-
ance of an abundance of capital, and our mercan-
tile community have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon the increased facilities thus
offered for the transaction of business.
The present Banking firm of Donahoe Ralston
x Co., will be dissolved on the LIST of July, prox,
but not only is no capital TO be withdrawn from
the service of the public. but large amount
hitherto otherwise employed will be added there
to. The retiring partners, Messrs. Joseph A.
Donahoe and Eugene Kelly, with handsome cash
means, will Immediately commence business in
their new and eleoant banking house on the
corner of Montgomery and Sacramento streets,
while the business of the old firm under the
direction Of the remaining members; Mcssrs. R.
s. Fretz and VIM. c. Ralston, will become merg-
ed in IN institution to be called the Bank of
California" with a very important enlargement
of capital and resources, quite unrivaled on this
coast. This will be the first joint stock company
Incorporated under the laws of this State, for the
purpose of banking and in referring to it we
cannot but express our qualification upon few
prominent points. First. that it will stand upon
specie basis. the currency Of Calitornia-gold
and silver; it is to be no paper money bank -
Second, the capital stock. which we understand
is to be 81 900. will be actually paid up in
gold; such at least is the programme no subtcr-
fnges in the shape OF Stock Notes or anything Of
less value than gold itself. Third it will be I'M
der the conduct Of some of our most experienced
and wealthy citizens men Of sound heads and
long purses. who have achieved success for them
selves Individually, are well known. and familiar
with the business Of the country, and whose con-
nection with the Bank is a guarantee to the pub
lie. that it will succeed and he public benefit;
safe place OF deposit, and an institution where
solvent business man with good securities may
reasonably expect accommodation in time Of need.
The business managers OF the new concern will
be Messrs D. O. Mills and VIM. c. Ralston. Alta

MINING SnAFTs,-As an evidence of the
work performed in some of the best mines.
the Gold Hal News says:
The Ophir Company is sinking a shaft on
its claim which is nine feet by twelve in tie
clear, inside of its timbers, and is now 800
feet deep. The Savage Company is down
lis feet with its new shaft, which is even
larger than that of The Ophir This latter
shaft is composed Of four compartments.
each five by six feet in size in the clear,
which makes working space of 100 feet.
The Overman Company, too, is sinking a
large shaft; so is the Yellow Jacket COMPANY;
and also others which we could mention.-
These new shafts are being imbered more
substantially than those which were conslru,
ed earlier. The od-fashioned round shafts
which were at first constructed were seldom
timbered at all. At later period two inch
plank were generally used. A year 400.
almost all companies used three inch planks.
At present it is common to use four, five and
six-nch planks. and in several of our claims
the shafts are being curbed with hewn tim
bers foot square, and in some of these
the limbers are even boted together. These
improvements in the manner of working orr
mines show confidence in their value which
nothing but The strongest evidence of their
richness could inspire. These work. are
substantial and will stand immovabe for
years."
