Notes
- From secession until readmission to the Union, Arkansas did not participate in the U.S. Congress.
- 1st district incumbent Thomas Carmichael Hindman (D) was re-elected to the 37th Congress, but chose not to take his seat.
- Anthony A. C. Rogers was elected to the 38th Congress but was not permitted to take his seat because Arkansas had not been re-admitted to the Union.
- McRae was elected to fill the vacancy caused by James Kimbrough Jones, who had been elected to the next term, but resigned before this Congress.
- Breckinridge was initially declared elected to the 51st United States Congress and took his seat. John M. Clayton eventually won a contest before the U.S. House, but died before the contest was complete, so the House declared the seat vacant. Breckinridge was then re-elected to finish the term.
- Elected to fill the vacancy caused by the previous representative's death before the term began.
- Died
- Resigned
- Augustus Hill Garland presented credentials as a senator-elect to the 40th Congress but was not permitted to serve.
- Heiskell was appointed to the office and served until an elected successor qualified.
