The second day of the convention Of
the American Bankers Association was
more largely attended than the first,
nearly 600 delegates being present. A
careful estimate, made by one of the
oldest bankers, shows that there are
500 banks represented in this oonyen-
ton, controlling an aggregate capital OF
$500, 100000, divided as follows. New
York, $s0,000,0OO; Boston. $4,000, 900 !;
Philadelphia, $50, 100000; other cities
$780, 900. This, said the president Of
one OF the leading Boston banks, Is

THE LENGTH OF THE WAR.
IN. Y. Tribune correspondence

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-Speeulation as to
the war now seems to take the turn Of
how long it will take to cary the strug-
gle to it's bitter end. Will the war ex-
tend over the winter. or is there time
yet left before the bad weather sets in
to finish the campaign and arrive at
peace? The position and prospects OF
both armies, so far as we are allowed to
know them. do not certainly Indicate q
speedy end to the campaign.
The consequences to Russia OF @ pro-
traction of the campaign through the
winter might be so serious as almost to
indu:e the belief that she would be pre-
pared to accept reasonable terms rather
than incur them. It will be utterly i'm
possible to maintain an army in camp
during the severity Of @ Bulgarian win
ter. The supplies, again, are not large.
and we'll Informed correspondent esti-
mates, in his letter to a London jour
nal. that Bulgaria will not be equal to
the task of furnishing more than, a
months subsistence to the Russian
armies. Communication with the base
in mid winter will be practically shut
off, and the Danube will not be very
convenient means OF transport. Here,
then, are difficulties which Russia may
we'll pause before she encounters,
and which for the time tends to favor
the Turks.
There is yet, however, time for much
to be done. Events may take very
critical turn one way or the other. The
Russians have abundant opportunity OF
making a tremendous onslaught. In
deed, it is incredible that they should
not do so. There is every indication
that O. battle must be fought on scale
which shall transcend anything we
have yet heard from the seat OF war,
and in this they may succeed in man
ner which will more than atone for their
recent losses.
If we turn from the military to the
political arena, we see almost the same
calmness and torpidity prevailing. The
checks which the Russians received in
their onward march must have mad the
effect of quieting the apprenensiong OF
| the Russophobes in all countries. Inc
prospect OF Muscovite occupation OF
| Constantinople seem to be a vision Oh
| the past, and the action which Austria
took 80 precipitately week or two ag0,
seems to have come to an end, 81 all
events for q time. The governments OF
Vienna and Pesth appear now TO pc re-
| living more upon the fact that the Czar
will need the countenance IL not the
support Of his neighbors In making
peace, than acting on the assumption
that he is In position to hight with
other mowers than Turkey. Whatever
NAV he the ultimate result OF the war,
II is craving every day less likely that
the turkish power will be completely
annihilated. or that Russia will seek to
set no the chain Of Slayonic States
which seems to be the only consequence
which Asstria breads from the war.

Third District Court.
A. Lavergne ct ais. instituted suit before
Judge Monroe yesterday against the city of New
Orleans and Thos Fl. Handy. Civil Sheriff, for
the sum of $4,000.
The grounds OF the plaintiffs action is that they
are the heirs Of JesnsLaverane, who was the
grantee OF certain lands situated on Lake Pont-
chartrain from Don Louis Uhzags, Governor Of
Louisiana in It'll. These lands were situated at
the mouth of the Bayou st. John, and the heirs
are still owners of the piece, except small res
ervation on which Spanish Fort is situated. Some
time since these lands were sold for drainage
taxes by the sheriff end adiudicated to the city.
Plaintiffs allegs that the said judgment for
taxes aud the consequent sale was null and void,
for the reason that they, the said heirs were not
properly notified Of the suit, although their resi-
dence WAS well known. On the 9Th OF August,
1878, the city by ordinance granted the right of
way through this land TO the Canal Street, City
Park and Lake Railroad Company, which fran
ehise, together with the road, was sold to Thorn
40 Fl. Handy, by the United States Marshal, at
the suit in bankruptcy OF d. T. Hamilton and
others against the said road.
Hence this action for damages.
