The chairmen ann ounced in both b ards that
the business for which the MAYOR ad called the
Boards together was for the consideration Of the
report OF the committee on public property in
relation to leasing certain city property to the
American Coal Company.
The matter claimed first the attention Of the
Board OF Aldermen
MIR. Fowle, from the committee on public
property, reported proposal from NJ. B Brain
ball, President OF the American Coal Company.
The company propose that the city shall i'm
prove that portion of the Beverly property, east
OF the Fish wharf, filling ont, hui ding piers,
wharves, dredging, &c so that at low tide there
Shall be al least ten feet water at the wbarves,
that these Improvements shall be complrt. by

iege OF renting the Fish wharf at S4OO for the
eight months not included in the fishing season;
the company: j. necessary, to take $1,000 Of
ALEXANDRIA City Stock at 80 cents The company
To lease this property when they improved at the
e of SIS 900 pes annum. The Council TO have
ole week 10 assent TO or refuse the offer d il e.
Accompanying the proposal were sundr ~ peel
ncatlons as to the kind Of wharf TO be built &c,

CATION TO be guaranteed by r. 4. T. Wilson, w.
n Mcknight and Thomas Burns.
The papers having been read, Mr.. W. III Fowle
made full statement of all the parti ulars of the
negotiation, In which he was the prime pal agent
Mr.. Armstrong was rather favorable to agree
Ing to the conditions proposed, but did not like
SOM OF the specifications Of Mr. Bradshaw Mr.
A. thought especially that white pine was not
the proper material for a wharf, but that white
oak should be used.
Mr.. fowle thought that the general question
OF accepting the proposition should be d. cded
before the details were discussed
Mr.. Reid and Mr.. BRYAN expressed their senti-
msnts; and finally IL was agreed that further tine
should be taken 10 consider the matter.
The papers then went to the Common Council
that had been engaged, since the reading Of the
minutes, In !" mastery Inactivity"
Having heard the papers read, and the views
OF Messrs. q. II Smoot, Hallow,ll and Ia { ack
thereon, consultation was had VITA the Alder
men, arr both Boa DIS re committed the papt n 10
the committee and adjourned until Thursday

The TKLrGRAPH TO Cusa-The long-talked
Of project Of establishing teIeyraphic communal
cation between the United States and Cuba Is,
we are Informed, about 70 be carried Into effect
G. C. Walden, Esq, late Deputy Collector at
New York, Superintendent in this country of the
Cuban Telrg Company, has received instTuc-
lions from Havana to commence the construction
OF the route between Savannah and Fernsndlna
and Messrs. Mora Brothers Il Favaro have placed
the necessary funds at his disposal
With regard to the submarine portion OF the
line, the Companyis Agent writes that the petit
ton Of the Company for concession Of the priyi-
leRe has been received by the Spanish Ministry
and that there IL every reason to hope that il
will be granted. The Captain G eneral Of Cuta
has endorsed the petition most strongly, and Il
10 confidently expected that his influence will be
sufhcient to secure the grant to the Mora comps-
ny, in preference to all other applicants
Advices from Madrid, do not, however
strengthen this belief. A note dated Madrid,
October 3ist says that there are no less than sew
en- applications to that Government for the con-
struetion Of a submarine cable between Cuba
and the United States ard that 1t was probable
the Government would decide in a short time to
Offer the whole project at auction, and sell to the
highest bidder 'tbe privilege Of landing SUBJ
marine cables on the Island Of Cuba for twenty
I'VE years.

CAPITAL PusIsHMrrr.-While several States
have made strenuous efforts, of late years, to
abolish capital punishment altogether, the Leg
islature Of Georgia Is now endeavoring to extend
this penalty to other crimes than murder and
arson. Two bills have been introduced with a
view to make both night burglary and robbery
by force capital offences but each has failed In
the Senate. They have, however, been amended
SO as to make the punishment twenty years in the
at the discretion Of the Court.

TIE DOUGLAS DocTRINE.-It will be recol-
lected that the New York Tribune was a
staunch pro-DOuglas sheet during the late H.
linois canvass. We accounted for the fact on
the ground that the doctrine of Mr.. Douglas
that Territorial Legislatures may practically
exclude slavery by unfriendly legislation, is
the theory Of all conceivable theories most
likslyIif carried out, to censummats the pur-
poses Of abolitionism. Since that election the
Tribune explains, in few words, the pith and
poiut-the alpha and omega-of the new theory
Of Senator Douglas, as follows:
"Any STAKEHOLDER has a constitutional right to
take his slaves into any Federal Territory, and
there bold them In slavery, 80 long, at least, as
the Territorial condition Is main aimed but II
the people Of said Territory do not at to pass
laws enforcing the right Aforesaid, the slaves
may run away from their rightful owner, ana he
cannot recover them. but must pocket the loss. ~
In other words: I" Though the slavsbolders are
right all through In claiming an indefeasible
right 10 plant slavery In the Territories, yet there
