In 1865, at the end of the civil war, Lincoln appointed Kellogg to be the collector of the port of New Orleans, Louisiana, beginning his 20-year political career in Louisiana for which he is most notable. He remained in his position as collector of New Orleans until 1868, when he was appointed to the United States Senate as Lousiana was alolwed back into the union. Kellogg resigned from the Senate in 1872 as he was elected governor of Louisiana. He served as governor from 1873 to 1877. Despite the intense backlash against the Republican Party in the south, he was able to return to the United States Senate in 1876. He served in the Senate until 1883, and declined to run for reelection as the Republican Party in Louisiana, as in most southern states, was at this time very weak and he almost certainly would have lost. He was the chairman of the Senate committee on railroads from 1881 to 1883.
