SCIOFINID. TALK ABOUT HIS REXOVAL. Sprtlat Dispatch to The Chteaga Tribune, Wasuinaton, D. C., Nov. 1i—It ts evident that thu Administration {s disploased at tha portion of the report of Gen. Scboticht, Com- mandaut at West Point, which treats of tho Whittaker case, but It {s not fully determitncd to moko that report an excuee for a changoin tho position of Commandant. Tho President, upon belng appronched this ovening with roference to tho subject, id not choose to confirm or deny tho correctness of the report of the contotn- plated change. Ho seemed to bo annoyed at tho fact that such a subject was bo- ing discussed, and would only sny with = referenco— to it tht no mucvessor of Gen. Schofleid had been aclected. The inferenco from the conversation, of course, was plifn that tho question of his suc- restor bad nt lonst been considered. Gen. Scho- Qeld's conduct for some time has been tho sub- fect of remark by his friends, some of those who bayo bithorto Leen on tho most intimute relations with him snying that ho had scomod to bavo float is head. His conduct during tho Whittaker triul caused considerubie camment in Administration circtes, and the criticisms havo not bocn modorated sincu tho publl- equon of tho West Volnt report. ‘Tho statement that Gon, Schofield may havo hoped tonld Huncock by tho publication of the report may doubtless be put down as ono of thocurlous stories of, tho cainpaign,” os wells tho report that Schofield hud requested tho withdrawat of tho report, in viow of tho fact that it waa not published before tho election, Military officers do not transnat public business Inthat way; Lut it is quite cortain that tho War Department does not regard fayorably tho Uirect erisicism of the Administration's courso tontalned in tho Schoficld report.

The Hultinore & Oblo waa not_repre- sented, but Mr. C.K, Lord, the General Passene kor Agent of that rond, sent a diapnich that ho would stand by tho agreement und submit to uny nctlon tho othor roads might take. A Joint nutico was drawn up and sent to Tieket-Agents of all tho Eustern roads Instruct- ing them to restoro tho rates to reguinr sebed- ule fignres on tho basis of £20 from Chicago tu New York at once, When tho varions tickot-offices oponed for ‘business yesterday morning they continued to ctl tickets on the basis of $15 from Chicayo to New York, and continued to do so tntil about iL o'clock 2. m., whon they received the nbove- montioned joint notice. Some had blood was caused on account of tho Baltimore & Ohlo not restoring the rmtes not tho samo thne as the otkor lines.

When they tnally found out they coult do no better, thoy came buck to pay. the required price. Grent was thelr surpriso when thoy found that in tho meantime rates had been restored, and $20 on New York tickets was now asked. Most of thom went uway greutly onrnged without purehusing, but 1 is doubtful whether they were able to secure tholr tickets at 1 cheaper flsure. It ig chiimed that the scalpers hive no cbenp tlekots to tha Last, and, as tho rouds now refuse to pry commissions, thoy will not be able to nell tckots Kast at loss retes than charged at the reguler tleket offices, It is understood thit the present agreemont has beel isndy for thirty days only, und if it is found to worl well it ‘will thon bo mude permanent. It fs foared that the arrangement will wot work satisfactorily, and that the New York, Peon- sylvunin & Ohlo and tho Erie lailronds wilt again make trouble by paying commissions for the sale of tickets over the Erie & Chicago Line. These rouds have always insisted upon thelr right to pus’ conniasions, and it is not helieved whut cha bave chunged their opinion now, al- though [t Is stntod that tho minugers of the Ericnnd the New Yorls, Pennsylvanian & Ohlo hive assured Mr, J.N.
