THE PRESIDENT ELECT.

At Garfi eld's Home-A Thoroughly Amer ican scene-Congratulntion Pouring in From all Quarters-I1ow the President Received Them.
 CLEVELAND. Nov. 3.-A special from Men | tor to the Neeos says: It was early this morn | ing before anything came to hand from the Pacific coast, from which Garfield had e1- 1 pressed desire to hear several times during ! the night The news was most favorable. The scene by this time became one never to be forgotten. It was purely American. In a little 16 by 20 story building sat the President elect of the grandest country un- der the sun, calmly reading the dispatches that told of his elevation to the high posi- tion. His little son stood by his side at the desk lingering the telegraphic sheets, of the significance of which he had little idea. Gus tered around, full of deep satisfaction and yet in no wise showing excitement, were the friends and neighbors of the man whose steady upward progress they had watched with pride and affection. To one and all he showed familiarity that made them feel he was still one of them and yet could not let them forget he was man among men. At his left elbow by pine table thrown togeth- CT for the occasion sat the representatives of the press and to his right his confidential secretary, Major Swaine, with the two busy telegraph operators The present occupant of the White House telegraphed his successor as follows:
 My heartiest congratulations God bless you. tSigned) R. B. HAYES, The following are among the more impor- tant of the congratulatory telegrams received by the General to-day:
