United States House of Representatives elections, 1873

The following elections were held in 1873.
==Tennessee's At-Large House of Representatives seat==
This race was between former President Andrew Johnson (Democrat), former State Supreme Court Justice Horace Maynard (Republican), and General B.F. Cheatham.
One incident on the campaign trail that occurred in Sparta illustrates the passion excited by the candidates:
: "Andrew Johnson, Horace Maynard, and General B. F. Cheatham were to speak at the Courthouse at Sparta. Cheatham could not come, but sent instead the fiery John H. Savage. Savage said, "Johnson is a murderer. He hanged Mrs. Surratt without just grounds, and if anyone will indict him, I will volunteer to prosecute him and I'll hang him as I did Presswood at Smithville." Johnson replied, "I never tried to do anything worthy or worthwhile, but that some little fice dog was always barking at my heels." This angered Savage, and it was with difficulty that a fight was prevented."Seals, Monroe. History of White County. Unknown: Unknown, 1935.
