Return of the President and Family.
SCENES AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO-DAY.

The President and Mrs. Hayes, Mr.. Webb
Hayes and the two younger children Of the
family. Scott and Fanny, returned to the city
this morning from Ohio. The President was in
his room during the latter part of the morning
receiving such visitors as called. There were
but very few callers. The ante-room was almost
as deserted as it was during his absence; and
the chairs placed around its walls and around
the hall upon which the Presidents door opens
were empty except for woman in black in the
ante-rOom and messenger in the hall. The
rooms and halls have been cleaned and newly
carpeted, and most of the furniture has been
upholstered. 1t is a change for the better from
the worn chairs and faded carpets OF the past.
The Presidents doorkeeper was prepared for a
rush OF business and 1t was with tone of dis
appointment that he informed The STAR reporter
that not even District or Maryland delegation
had called The only visitors during the morn
ing were the Attorney General Senator Morrill,,
Director of the Mint Burchard and Superntend-
ent OF the San Francisco Mint Dodge, and two
or three New York men, who called to pay their
respects. Altogether it was decidedly dull about
the White House. Even the sight-seers wanting
to look around the house were fewer in number
than usual. MI. Rogers was at work on his ac-
cumulated correspondence and had to entertain
but few Office seekers. This must have been an
agreeable surprise to him. The clerks were at
their desks. At twelve O'Clock the members of
the Cabinet in the city one by one dropped in,
all of them except the Secretary of the Navy
and the Attorney General bringing portfolios
under their arms. The session Of the Cabinet
began shortly after twelve.

Cooper, the FOrger.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA London special says
William Ringgold Cooper alias Neville Hunter
the celebrated American forger and the man OF
many disguises, was to-day arraigned in the Old
Bailey Sessions, charged with forgery by Glynn
land. His sojourn in Newgate-he having been
unable to procure bail-had given him broken

The proceedings were of the br1efest character.
Cooper pleaded guilty to both charges of forgery
and was remanded for sentence next Thursday.
He was then taken back to his cell in Newgate.
1t is possible that some of the prisoners aSSests
may revert to his San Francisco creditors If it
can be proved that the funds came thence.
