Samuel Brannan, Esq. of Nogales. has kindly forwarded the CITIZEN the following brief compilation of Mexican laws which affect American citizens:
 FoEEIGyERs' RIGHTS IN MEXICO.
 First-''ln order to acquire lands within twenty leagues or less of any frontier of Mexico, a foreigner must ob- tain permission of the President; that no foreigner can acquire real estate within fifteen miles of the bay, ocean or gulf, even with the permission Of the President, unless a special law grants the privilege"
 Second-"By transferring any prop erty to a person who does Lot reside in the republic. mines may be transferred" !"
 Third" That a foreigner who pur- chases real estate becomes a Mexican citizen, unless he wills otherwise"
 Fourth-"No foreigner can acquire real estate in the frontier States within twenty leagues from the line, without permission from the general govern ment."
 Fiith-"That foreigners may purchase, hold, transfer, and make testamentary disposition of and inherit lands any where in Mexico equally as well as Mex lcans, excepting lands of the public do- main."
 Sixth-"rhat foreigners may purchase m one Department or State as many estates as they desire"
 LAWS or MEXICO.
 EiTst-"Mines may be acquired by dis cOyery or denOurcement The discovery or mineral lands hitherto unknown, may hold claims of the dimensions prescribed by law; and he who discovers a new vein Tn mineral hill already known, may hold two such claims. being obliged to designate the same within ten days; but he who finds a new mine in vein already known. shall not be considered a discOverer. Denouncement may take effect with respect to miners that have failed to fulfill the conditions prescribed by the ordinances. No person can denounce two adjoining mines in the same vein; but he may hold one by Announcement and the other by pur- chase or other lawful title. Formerly foreigners could not acquire mines within the republic; but permission to tbis effect has since been granted by the decree of March 1fth. I~42. Veins or mines may be discovered or de- nounced on those belonging to private persons.
 SecOnd-"Witbint the term Of ninety days. the discoverer must open n shaft upon the veIn or veins recorded, one vara and q half in diameter at ihe top, aud ten varas in depth"
 Third-''lf, within the term of ninety days, any other person shall claim a right to the said discovery, the case shall be heard and decided in favor of him who adduces the best proofs"

MT. Blaine'S Religion.

MT. Blaine has said that his mother was a deyout Catholic, and though hold ing different religious sentiments him self. the sacred regard he had for that mothers memory would not permit hIm for a moment to discuss religious tCpics. Mir. H. s. Osgcod, writing from Augusta, Maine. over date of March 2i. 1881, furnishes the public with the following information:
 MT. Blaine is a member of the South Parlsh Congregational Church in good regular standing. Has been Q member of said church for t-enty years. was in church and saw him take and sub scribe tO all the VOWS of the church. His wife is also member of the same church, and also one of his children. He is a constant attendant on all of. its meetings when he ism Augusta.

While in San Francisco a few days ago, Mir. Fitch was interviewed by a rep resentative of the Examiner. The fol- lowing is an extract from the article:
 Reporter-What is the status of the Territory politically!
 NIT. Fitch-Parties are pretty evenly divided. The Democrats have had a majority in the Territory at large for the last two elections, but 1t is extremely doubtful whether they can hold it this year. With Blaine in the lead the Re publicGns will be inspired to renewed effort, and it is quite possible, think, to elect Republican Delegate to Congress this year.
 Rsporter-It is stated that you are candidate for Congress this year. May inquire 1T such is the factS
 MT. Fitch (hesItating Well, that Is rather a strong statement of the case. l have been spoken to on the subject by some of ny friends, but have not an- nOunced myself on the question. l have kept cut of politics, so far as seeking of flee is concerned, for good many years. l am not and shall not be candidate Iu the sense of intriguing for tLe nomi- Ition. or making a contest for 1t. l do not care enough about the place to make an effort in that way. But l think I may say that if the Republican convention should see fit to tender me the nCminR- ton would accept it, and then make the best fight I could for an election.
 Reporter-When will you return to Arizona?
 NIT. Fitch-In few weeks; as soon as | shall have attended to some business matters here. and make trip 10 Yosem- ite, whi,h I have promised myself for many years.
