He began his law practice, the same year, at Kansas City and continued it there until 1877, when he returned to Pike county, and after a short stay at Clarksville, came to Louisiana, where he has practiced ever since. In 1878 he was elected, on the Greenback ticket, a member of the Missouri state legislature and served one term.
