What vii, be Done About II.

Not many days since the Telegraph flashed the
news over the country that vessel had arrived
in New York with cholera on board. 1t was
somewhat startling that this terrible disease
should rage even on shipboard, In mid winter,
and we therefore were led to doubt whether this
disease, which was said to exist, was the chol-
era and we believe now that 1t Is not definitely
ascertained to be that complaint. Be that as 1t
may, still there are certain facts which demand
of the proper authorities an investigate and
the matter should be looked into at once.
The facts, as we gather them, appear to be
these: The ship Leibnitz, Captain BARNARD,
sailed from Hamburg on 18th Of November, with
four hundred and forty-two passengers, men,
women, and Children, but no physician. 1t is,
moreover, stated that Captain BARNARD took on
some passengers from district infected with the
cholera, and knowing, as he must, this condition
OF the infected district he made sail for America
without a physician.
Now, mark, out of the four hundred and forty
two passengers who embarked on board Of the
Leibnitz, one hundred and 1--we died on the pass
age. Whole families fell victims to this de-
strOyer Parents died, leaving their children in
a perfectly helpless condition. The owners OF
this vessel ought to be sued, and the whole sub
ject should be Investigated. It's high time tina,
the owners Of ships should be taught that they
cannot crowd their vessels In this manner, simpl!
that they may make money. This ship Is ownet
abroad, and commanded by foreigners, but thi
fact should not prevent an Investigation.

The War Depnrtment.

Mr.. Stanton quietly occupies his scat in the
War Department, and the business Of the once
proceeds with the usual regularity. There were
numerous inquiries yesterday as to whether any
thing had turned up" but the news-seekers
found nothing especial to make mention Of either
in the War Department or at the White House.
Hon. Ben. Wade called upon Mr.. Stanton yester-
day morning, and was with him some time. Gen.
Pope also called, and Republican delegation OF
the New York representatives visited the Secre-
tary and rendered their compliments, which was
about all that transpired. Mr.. Stanton has de.
voted himself to the business Of the Department,
and yesterday sent to the Senate an answer to a
resolution of inquiry relative to the names and
number OF volunteer officers Of the army retained
In the service and doing duty.
There was to have been special Cabinet meet.
ing yesterday afternoon, and which was supposed
to have some bearing upon the Secretary's case
but 1t was deferred. In the forenoon the White
House was visited by Attorney General Stan
berry and his assistant, J. NJ. Buckley, the ma
ture Of which visit we did not learn. or course
there were various rumors, one OF which wal
that the President did not intend to recogniz,
any acts of Mr.. stanton which he might author
lie In his department beyond the merS,routin,
and detail of clerical duty. The excitement
however, appears to have died away, and Mr.
Stanton, Gen. Grant, or the President do no
seem apparently to be exercised whatever owe
an occurrence which, for twenty-four hours q
least, startled the entire country.
