A RUMOR is out that Col. Parker, of General Grant's ‘af. will be appointed Commi:sioner of Indion Affiirs, it he resigns his preseat po- siltoniutbe srmy. We doub. if there is much ground for the repori; bu’, being of Indian descent, #ad suppored also to take the army view of the quesiion, the appointment of Col. Parker would ecem to be a compromise between the two .onflic:ing idcas uppermost in the public mind in relation to the Indian preblem. GENBRAL SHERMAN.—Lieutenant General W.T.

Wao Is THE MAN!— Representatives Mercur, Moorehead, and Pettis of Pennsylvania had au iaterview with General Grani this morning at which they expressed their gratification that Pennsylvania wes to be represented in his Cabinet. He replied that he bad already fixed upon a gentleman from that State toa seat in bis Cabinet, and snould be nui change bis mid would transmit his mame to the Sepate, but until then it would not be made public. The gentlemen selected was not yet aware of the fact himself, and would not be until a day or two before his nomination, but the people of that State might rest assured that their State would be represented. Gan. GRawr’s HeapguaRTers.—Gen.Grant is kept busily engaged at bis headquarters from hait-past nine o'clock & m. until three or four o'clock p. m., two hours of the time—trom ten to twelve—being devoted to the reception of yis- itors, and during this trme the reception-room is crowded. Among the visitors there are of course a large number Of office seekers and triends of various applicants, all auxious to get their applications in first, but they inva- Triably meet with a formal reception from the General. Not only is he importuned con- stantly by office seekers, but the members of his staff are daily receiving many letters trom parties in various parts of the country request- ing their influence with the General for an of. fice. These gentlemen being officers of tne army, pay no attention to such letters, and ia mo case Iny them before Gen. Grant. Gen’l Dent, aide-de-camp to General Gran:, is in great demand by ®spirants for office, who indulge the fond hope that he will assist them im bringing their applications before the Pres. ident elect; but in this they Bre doomed to dis- appointment, as General D. positively declines to trouble General Grant with such matters. General Grant is questioned hourly by dis- tinguished persons who call upon him, as to whom be has thought about fer this or that most intimate with him, &re quite as much in the dark as anybody 3 to contemplated appointments. Among those who hed interviews with Gen- eral Gran¢ this morniog were Senators Ed- munds, Howe, Cattel, Pool, Ferry, Howard, Senator elect Matt H.
