NEW York, Jan. 2i.-The Heralds
Berlin correspondent gives the outline
of plan Just proposed in Germany, for
the PARTITION of the Turkish Empire,
and the abolition Of the Porte Govern
meut. which, if carried out simulta-
peously, is in the interests of the Chris
tian subjects of the Sultan, and by Rus
STA and Austria it would be likely to ef-
feet the object without bloodshed. Rus
sia takes to herself the credit OF being
the ONLY sincere friend of the oppressed
people Of the Turkish provinces, and
the entire subject was canvassed with
serious attention, both by the statesmen
and people Of that Empire. Russia
rnfehes the progress of the Austrian

The Times special says that since last
November the leading politicians OF the
North and South, Democrats, Republi-
cans and ex-rebels alike, have been at
work on plan whereby the differences
between the North and the South, and
the executive and legislative branches
of the government would be satlsfactO-
rily adjusted. Suffrage and amnesty
forms the basis of the proposition. For
instance, if South Carolina will adopt
the Massachusetts suffrage franchise
the President is willing to issue proc
lamation of amnesty to all who approve
fit. The people Of South Carolina,
blacks as well rs whites, can elect loyal
representatives to Congress, and Con-
gress can determine on their admission.
The Administration is seriously consid-
ering this proposition.
