The following year, he was elected as a member of the National Assembly for Pyrénées-Orientales, and was reelected in 1876, 1877 (against Colonel Falcon with 13,235 votes vs 8,276)[1] and in 1881.[2] Escarguel is then elected as a senator for Pyrénées-Orientales from 1882 to 1891.[3] He finally retired in his birth town, where he died in 1893 of apoplexy.
