Ccmnut2tiost o. a .Senteisce In the North
ern news published yesterday it was stated
that in the cases Of Mcssrs. Scott, Kemp,
and Dagan, who had been sentenced to death
spies, Lincoln had cnmmuted their sen
teDce to imprisonment for the war ia Fort
Delaware This was very handsome in Abe,
but his magnanimty loses little OF lis lus-
ire from the4act that tho "untortunate men"
had already 'commuted' their own sentences
by escaping into the Confederate States, and
are all three now in Richmond in our ser
vice. As a matter Of reciprocity, however,
we learn that they are all willing to ICON
mute" Abc's sentence TO Imprisonment for
life, handsomely giving him the choice be-
tween Fort Delaware, Johnson's leland, or
any ether Of his numerous hotels.
