The companies ( rum tin noi tli ! ia\u inatlo no protest whatever because cause the eommltteo in charge uf the itr rangemonts lias allowed colored troops ti pattlcipatu in thu competitions and the pn radcs. The southern companies , on tin other hand , ha\o been growling about till : ever since they came hero. First the Vlcks burg Southrons nnd the .Memphis Xouave withdrew from the parade on Wednesday because cause n colored company was In the ranks To day these bamo companies were drilling on the drill grounds after the sermon o the Kev. Mr. Talmago and Just befon the hour for the dress parade , when tin Washington light intantry and the Natlona rltlea entered the grounds. They were f ol lowed by a colored intantry company. Jus as soon as the men from the south sivv tin colored men they marched from the held am did not return during tnu parade. Thoolll- cers In charge ot he parade were difgustei with this new exhibition of alleged pi Ido am the remarks which they passed upon the no tlons of the fools was anything but compll mcutary. Kven in the camp the southeri men show the same spirit. Those ofllcer whose companies arc assigned to battallion ; commanded by northern officers express thcl resentment by refusing to ohov the orden issued to them. The Memphis Xotmvc are In n battallion commanded bv Cuptaii Ford , of the Chicago Xouaves , yet up to dat the Captain of the Memphis men lias no obeyed a single order issued to him by Cap tain Ford , and when that eitlicer wants ti make a detail for any purpose he is com pelted to call upon men from the Chlcairo o the Keck Xouaves.

In consequence , fully 10.000 peu pie wore present , but each and every ono o them was compelled to pay 23 cents for ad mission to the grounds nnd 25 cent more for a beat. The military portion of the sermon was a h/zle. Kadi soldier no a commissioned olllcer was < ompellcd to pa , a quarter for admission , and naturally ther were vcrlew soldiers piesent. 'J ho affair o thpseriiion was a big hnancial card forth drill. It probably netted not less than S-.OOC and in that respect was as fortunate for th committee BH a session of a clrcii would have been. There wns at out a much religion In It , too. General Cur nahnn , who conducted the narad ( says that the soutliern cotnpanies who let the riilll grounds v\cio not ordered to parad to day , and that they came on under a mis understanding.

Another cause Is the chance given toe gambling by the nciessary lack ot trust- worth } ciop reports.

A KTUANCi : DKIOAAI. A Tnthcr Who Thinks Ilin Son Wua Murdered Instead of Kulcldlnir. Niwi'oiir , If. L , May 20.-Special [ Tele gram to the llri.J : Henry W. Claiko , of this city , will request the secretary of thu navy to investigate thu bhootlni : ot Lieutenant Ar thur Clarke with a view ot ascertaining it his death was by sulcldo , as repotted , or by murder , as Claiko believes. Claiko Is thor- ouuhl } convinced that his son was muutcrcd and relates two dreams as grounds for his bo- llet A few davs befoio his son's dentil ho had a presentiment that two deaths were about to occui In his family. A few days later his wife's innthei died and while they vverp attending her lnnci.il his son's death occurred at I'annma. Claike was disinclined to believe that his son had committed sul- ctdo and determined that hn- had taken an ovenlose ot some opiate to pro duce Bleep bopiiise of neivousncss incident to flight caused by a recent fall. Such wan his conjecture until that night ho had another vlfclon , In which hesnw a man follow his son till the latter entered a room on the ship , when he saw Ills son tall dead to the lloor. Scon ultunvaid Chnke received a letter Irom Paymaster 1'eteison , ulvliiL' the particular of his son's death , which coincided with Clarkn's vision , in that death was by shooting and occulted in n room ou shlpboaid and dilfei ing In the vital point ot the person who hred the shots. Clarku believes fully in bis dicam , sustained as it Is by p ist experhmcf * and consldeis the Jact that his son wiint below so soon ntter going on deck to hiuoko und went , not to his own room but to that ot another olllcei named Wood , as detailed In one lettei u-eclvcd fiom the Hhlp , Is u suspicious cliciimstaiKp. Ilia thcorv is that thn porMin who committed the deed and whoso featuics IIP saw in his drennii but did not know , told Clarku when he went on deck that Wood wanted to RUJ him In his room , nnd this person Iollowed him and shot him as ho entered the loom mid escaped to another pail ot the ship Uefoic the alarm had spread Claiko's belief In murder rather than suicide Is strennthencd by the f\ct : that two shots were Hied , one. ut the In ad and ono at thn heait , which medical experts In thuin- tent Iturton minder cnso in this city declared could scarcely be done by a person n-colvinjc tl.o wounds.
