- ^ Mann's term began on 1868 July 18. He died on 1868 August 26 after just 5 weeks in office. Despite a special election to replace Mann, the House decided to keep the seat officially vacant until the 41st congress. See John Willis Menard.
- ^ Seat filled by election of Sypher on 1870 November 18, ending Louisiana congressional vacancies related to the American Civil War.
- ^ McCleery died in office.
- ^ Lawrence, a white Democrat, having been permitted permanently to sever black Republican Sypher from the office, served just one day, 1873 March 3, the last business day of the 43rd congress. In the meantime, since Effingham's contested election against incumbent Sypher in 1872, Louisiana's 1st congressional district had elected, as Effingham's replacement, a white Democrat, Randall Lee Gibson, a former Confederate Civil War general and later eponym of Tulane University of Louisiana's Gibson Hall.
