The English Papers Of This Morning.
The Gazette says: Signs point to heavy
tide OF emigration from Great Britain to the
United States during the ming spring and
summer. The London Times says people
of the rural classes, having heard OF the re-
vival If prosperity in America, are already
flocking toward Queenstown seeking for
passage in the ocean steamers.-Mr Thomas
yesterday resigned his position of Music
Director of the College of Music. After so
much prominence had been given to Mr..
Thomas in founding the college, it could
not be expected that his severance from it
could take place without difference of opin-
ion among our citizens, nor without pro-
jects for revising the action of the Direc-
tors. A. newspaper need not be too deli
cate tolhenton what is talked of-namely,
that supporters of Mr. Thomas shall sub
scribe to the remaining 70 per cent. of the
stock of the college, or to so much as may
be requisite, and that the stockholders
shall reorganize the direction.-The para
mount consideration with the Republican
party is to elect Republican President,
trusting that the vote which carries in a
Republican President will also elect Re-
publican Congress. The Gazette, while
having preferences and ideas of policy as to
different candidates, is for the nominee of
the Chicago Convention, holding that
body to be the general council whose de-
cision all must receive. The situation
which is now apparent to all is that Of
three contending candidates, Grant,
Sherman and Blaine; the first having the
aid of military prestige, and OF much of
the old organization, which is called the
machine, and of the dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Hayes administration; the second
running on the success of the Government
finances and on long Republican service,
and with the prestige of the administra.
ton; the third having qualities which
seem to have made him the most popular
Of the three in the Republican States. Bat
one can be nominated, and we presume
that no one thinks it probable that Sher
man or Blaine will Withdraw to nominate
some other candidate than Grant Their
continuing to contend against each other
appears to be more likely to result in the
nomination of Grant than of either.

In a sneech at bononet in New York q
few evenings since, M. De Lesseps, with
short-sighted fallacy, made the statement
that the proposed canal across the Isthmus
could be in American hands and under
American control if American capital
would take majority of the stock. He
was then making alluson to the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t did not occur to the distn-
guished French engineer that stock could
be bought and sold, or that the Ameri-
can people might be unwilling to intrust
their control of this continent or, of these
Continents" as President Munroe termed
them, to the fluctuations and changes in
ownership OF stock in big canal. The
ONO Democrats are accustomed to take
the leadership OF opinion upon every rising
question. While, In this instance, the re-
affirmation OF the tlme-honored Demo,
cratic doctrine upon TINS question would
not be regarded as marked leadership, we
trust that the ONO Democracy, when next

The Commercial says: 1t seems that Mr.
Thomas had been but few weeks in this
city before he became convinced that there
was too much talent in the Board, and lha,
he could not get along with Colonel Mich
OILS. He gradually made known his con-
viction, first to Mr.. Goshorn. Then Mr.
Thomas considered the annual report OF
the College of Music a MISREPRESENTATION
and was unwilling to be held in any way
responsible for it. He pushed the matter
that he could not divide authority with
Colonel Nichols, and that Nichols
