In July 1858 he married Rita Laso Errázuriz. The marriage resulted in two daughters: Rita and Manuela. In 1866 he married Emilia Solar Valdés, who gave him two sons: Luis and Casimiro.
As a member of the Partido Liberal , he was elected MP for San Felipe , Putaendo and Los Andes for the period 1858–1861.
He was part of the Standing Committee on Education and Charity. Between 1864 and 1867 he was again a parliamentarian for the districts mentioned and part of the standing committee on constitution, legislation and justice. In 1863 he was commissioned by the government of President José Joaquín Pérez Mascayano to draft the law project “Ley de Organización y Atribuciones de los Tribunales” (Law on the Organization and Powers of the Courts), which was concluded in 1864 and finally came into force in 1875.
In the next elections he was re-elected as MP, this time for Santiago ; during this last period he sat twice before the Chamber of Deputies: between June 4 and October 8, 1867 and between December 8, 1868 and June 2, 1870.
During his time as a parliamentarian, President José Joaquín Pérez Mascayano appointed him Minister of Interior and External Relations (September 1867 to October 1868) and later Minister of Justice, Religion and Public Education (April 30 to August 2, 1870).
He then took up his work as Senator for Valparaíso (1870 to 1879) and was part of the Standing Committee on Government and External Relations. He worked as dean of the humanities faculty of the Universidad de Chile , was general secretary of this university, judge at the Court of Appeal in Santiago (1872) and prosecutor at the Supreme Court (1882).
He published various works (Constitución comentada; Gramática castellana; Ortografía castellana, Proyecto de Ley de Organización y Atribuciones de los Tribunales) and wrote articles for the press, for example for El Museo and the Revista de Santiago.
