R1cHMoND, April Ex-Governor
Kemper, in a message to the Legisla-
ture to-day, suggests the necessity for
thoroughly amending the State consti-
tuition, many provisions Of which he
says is as odious to the people as they
are mischievous in operation. He op
poses the creation of q constitutional
convention for this purpose, Or that the
General Assembly should ). assume, the
task of revising the whole constitution,
and proposes the appointment of COM
mission, composed Of. five or seven
statesmen, to frame such a constitution
as would commend itseff to the Iegis
lature and the people, to be submitted
at the next annual session of the pres
ent Legislature. Il, 81
He; saysit is not doubted that an
amendment.,ri the, nature ola substitute
for the whole constitution, embrac-
ing the entire frame work of the Or
ganic law.of the State, would be equal
ly admissible as the, separate amend
ment Of any single provision. Speedy
action, is urged. as to let the matter
pass by: the present session will cause
an additional delay of two years. The
governor concluded by setting forth
some of the, obnoxious features of the
present constitution, and hopes no
time will be lost in relieving the State
of its burden. >.

years Of age, named Edward Pomeroy,
whose parents reside in Chelsea, Mass,
is under arrest, strongly suspected Of
numbering four year old child of Mr..
Mullen, in Dorchester, Mass, Wednes
day. Young Pomeroy was recently
pardoned from State Reform School,
where he was sentenced for cutting and
mutilating several children Younger
than himself. A policeman found the
little victim lying dead in the mashes
near the Dorchester line. His body
was horribly mutilated, his head nearly
severed from his body. And about
thirty stabs were found in different
parts Of his body. The boys name was
Horace Mullen, and he was son of
poor parents. al.
Later.-Jesse Pomerey, the lad who
murdered the child of John Mullen, a
cabinet maker living in Dorchester,
Mass, was to-day takenito the under :
taker and shown the body of his victim.
I When. asked if be saw. the body before,
he said eyes, but l, don't want to look
Fat him anymore He trembled all
over while in the room, and showed ev-
idence Of guilt He said if be, did the
deed he was sorry for it, and hoped his
mother would not know about it. -,

Woods asked him if he did that, refer
ring, to the cutting. He replied, eyes,
killed him = and on the way. back

Pomeroy has been taken from the sta
'tion house cell to Charles street Jail.
The murder ed child was cut in similar
parts of the body as were the children
whom the boy. mutilated in Chelsea and
South Boston last year. Pomeroy's
mother is a dressmaker, living on
Broadway, South Boston, and is a wor
thy and highly respected woman. The
youth is undoubtedly insane.
